Standing at the intersection of tonality, modality, and serialism, Henri Dutilleux (1916–2013) came of age in France during the Second World War. He absorbed and mastered all the dominant strands of European musical tradition and garnered an esteemed reputation as a composer. Dutilleux created a new musical language of beauty, exoticism, and passion from the wreckage of postwar Europe. The UMD School of Music offers an engaging cross-disciplinary retrospective highlighting some of the composer’s most important works, presented with works of Debussy and Ravel, in celebration of Dutilleux’s centenary.
