BiographyChildhoodAntoine-Aimable-Elie Elwart was born 19 September 1808 in Paris in the family home. At the age of ten, he became a chorister at the mastery of the Saint-Eustache church: Antoine Ponchard (a master of the chapel since 1815) ensured his first musical training. This teaching marked him for all his life, and spiritual music remained one of his great influences. Curious to discover the activity of professional musician, he escaped from the work of manufacturer of crates where his parents had sent him and managed to become second violin in a street orchestra. In 1823, at the age of fifteen, a Mass with four voices and a large orchestra of his composition was given at St-Roch Church. TrainingIn 1825, the singer Cambon interpreted a scene of Elwart on the motif of the "Exiled". This year marked especially his entrance to the École royale de musique (future Conservatoire de Paris) in counterpoint, harmony and fugue and music composition classes. His professors were François-Joseph Fétis, Jean-François Lesueur, Berlioz. Elwart was awarded the First Fugue Prize in 1830. In 1835, he performed a new "Mass" on Saint Cecilia. He attempted the Grand prix de Rome in 1831 with the cantata La Fuite de Bianca Capello but only won second prize. Prix de RomeHe had to wait until 1834 to win the Grand Prix with L'Entrée en loge, a cantata composed on a text by Jean François Gail. He thus became a boarder at the Villa Medici. He left his post as a tutor for the composing class of Antoine Reicha during his stay at Villa Medici. Already known to the Parisian public, he played in France his compositions that he sent from Rome. He producee a Deuxième messe solennelle in 1835 dedicated to the Duchess of Orleans, an Italian opera and the funeral Omaggio alla memoria di Vincenzo Bellini (November 1835 - Théâtre Valle de Rome) in homage to the famous opera composer who died shortly before. He presented an Ouverture on October 20, 1838, badly received by a skeptical jury and against possible innovations: the three voices of men on the second motif in E minor probably left a bitter taste. Career at the ConservatoireBack in Paris in 1837, he returned to the Conservatoire, but became assistant professor of Reicha then holder of his own class created by Cherubini, the director of the Conservatoire de Paris. Elwart held the post until his retirement in 1871. Among his pupils were Louis-Aimé Maillart, {{ill|Georges Bousquet|fr}}, Théodore Gouvy, Jean-Baptiste Weckerlin, Émile Prudent, Olivier Métra, Edmond Hocmelle, Adolphe Blanc, Albert Gisarn, Victor Frédéric Verrimst and Oscar Comettant who described him as "An ingenious and witty scholar". It seems that he had a good relationship with his pupils, the latter ironically calling him "little father Elwart". In parallel with his classes, Antoine Elwart was a prolific composer: he wrote a Messe solennelle in 1838 for the baptism of the Comte de Paris (future pretender "Philippe VII"), and presented on 24 August. On 4 February, he had a "Mass" played at the église St-Eustache, with Pierre-Louis Dietsch as the organist and Ambroise Thomas as the conductor. Elwart died in the 18th arrondissement of Paris 14 October 1877. DecorationsHe received the Cross of Spain by Charles III; The King of Prussia decorated him with the cross of the red eagle. He was awarded the Légion d'honneur in 1873[1] in the {{ill|salle du Conservatoire|fr}}, a distinction to which he responded in the tone of humor: Vive la République ! {{quote|You understand, I made a cantata to celebrate the glory of Charles X. He did not decorate me; I celebrated in music the virtues of Louis Philippe, he did not decorate me; I have sung the blessings of the Empire, the Emperor has not decorated me; I have never done anything for the Republic, and it decorates me; It is only right that I am grateful to it!}} Works
