Paul de Maleingreau

Synopsis

Belgian composer and organist

• 1887 born in Trélon, Nord, France.
• 1905-12 studied at the Brussels Conservatory with Alfons Desmet, Paul Gilson and Edgar Tinel.
• 1913 began teaching at the Brussels Conservatory.
• 1920-21 became the first to perform all of J. S. Bach's organ works in Brussels.
• 1929-1953 professor of organ at the Brussels Conservatory, where he taught Pierre Froidebise, Charles Koenig and Robert Kohnen.
• 1956 died in Brussels, Belgium.

Much of Maleingreau's outlook was directed toward the past. He was devoted to Bach, and most of his works are based on plainchant and intended for use in church. He also wrote programmatic music, however, including his organ symphonies, which were inspired by paintings by Rogier van der Weyden and the van Eyck brothers. He shows the influence of Franck in his cyclic forms and chromaticisms, but sometimes employs impressionistic harmonies. He wrote, among other organ works, Symphony de Noël (1919), Symphony de la Passion (1920), Symphony de l’Agneau Mystique (1922), 7 diptyques, 19 masses, 153 preludes, Opus sacrum I–III, 6 suites, and 3 triptyques.
