Eugénie-Victorine-Jeanne Alombert
Eugénie-Victorine-Jeanne Alombert was a French pianist and composer, during the late-nineteenth to early-twentieth centuries. At least a dozen of Alombert's compositions have been preserved due to the efforts of the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, France.[1] Alombert had been a piano teacher, alongside her brief career as a composer. Varying sources, of which there are few, reveal that Alombert's birth and death dates vary between one another, but one website determines her dates to be May 15, 1874 - July 7, 1964.[2]
Life and career
Born on May 15, 1874, Eugénie-Victorine-Jeanne Alombert's mother and father were Marguerite-Gabrielle Ibry (1850-) and Pierre-Edouard-Antony Alombert (1844-). Her father was a clerk of justice and therefore she was a member of the Parisian aristrocracy.[3] She studied with her teachers Mll. Mary Moll and Pompilio Sudessi (1853-1923). This is known due to her dedications in her works Menuet champêtre and Pavane-régence to Mlle. Moll, and Violetta! to M. Pompilio Sudessi, respectively.[4] Alombert's compositions were largely supported by the patronage of a well-established choir director and conductor, Célestin Bourdeau. Bourdeau served as the artistic director at the Casino of Cabourg, and was active in Paris, France.[5] Bourdeau's patronage extended to local composers who could hire an orchestra he formed primarily to read new compositions, this is identified by a news article published by the Revue du monde musical et dramatique, which describes the service and its cost of one hundred francs.[6] Alombert would marry Louis Besson (1845-1891) in the year 1888. Besson was a well-known music critic, as well as a composer and librettist. He was also the editor of L'Événement.[7] After Besson's death, Alombert would remarry in the year 1900, to René-Louis-Joseph-Henri de Sévelinges. Sévelinges was an architect and the son of Omer-Oscar and Henriette-Pauline-Emilie Taveau, a family of nobility.[8] The dates of Alombert's surviving compositions range between 1893 and 1895,[9] and her career as a piano teacher ended in 1899.[10]
