Life and careerBorn Louis-Joseph Daussoigne in Givet, he legally changed his name to Joseph Daussoigne-Méhul on 12 August 1845 when he was 55 years old. He and his younger brother had been adopted by their uncle, the composer Étienne Méhul, in 1797 when he was seven years old. His brother served as a lieutenant in the French Army during the War of 1812 and was killed in action.[1] In 1799 Daussoigne-Méhul entered the Conservatoire de Paris when he was just nine years old. He studied there for the next 10 years, during which time he received several academic honours and competition prizes from the conservatoire; including premiere prizes in music theory (1799), music composition (1803), piano (1806), counterpoint (1808), and fugue (1808). His teachers included Louis Adam (piano), Charles Simon Catel (harmony), and his uncle (composition). In 1803 he began teaching music theory at the conservatoire.[1] In 1809 Daussoigne-Méhul won the Prix de Rome with the cantata Agar dans le désert. As a result, he received a scholarship to continue his studies at the French Academy in Rome located in the Villa Medici, within the Villa Borghese, on the Pincio. He accordingly resigned his teaching post at the Paris Conservatoire and came to Rome where he studied from February 1810 through late 1813. He returned to teaching at the conservatoire in Paris in 1814, leaving there in 1826 when he became the first director of the Royal Conservatory of Liège. He remained in that post for the next 35 years.[1] Daussoigne-Méhul died in Liège in 1875 at the age of 84. He was married for more than 50 years to Marie-Adélaïde Bellet who was the daughter of Parisian building contractor Alexandre-Godefroy Bellet. Their son was the pianist, organist, composer, and music critic Alexandre-Gustave Daussoigne-Méhul (1830-1932).[1] ComposerAs a composer, Daussoigne-Méhul produced several works for solo piano, some symphonic music, a few operas, and some chamber music. His comic opera, Aspasie et Pericles, was premiered at the Paris Opera in 1820. He notably completed his uncle's unfinished opera Valentine de Milan which premiered at the Opéra-Comique in 1822. He also composed new recitatives for his uncle's opera Stratonice in 1821. Although he had admirers among his contemporaries, his music had no lasting impact and fell into obscurity by the late 19th century. None of his music has survived in the concert repertoire.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web|url=http://www.musimem.com/Daussoigne-Mehul.htm|title=Joseph Daussoigne-Méhul|work=www.musimem.com|author=Denis Havard de la Montagne}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Daussoignemehul, Joseph}} 13 : 1790 births|1875 deaths|People from Givet|Academics of the Conservatoire de Paris|Conservatoire de Paris alumni|French Romantic composers|French male classical composers|French opera composers|Male opera composers|Royal Conservatory of Liège faculty|Prix de Rome for composition|French music educators|19th-century male musicians |
