Abstract

When, in 1935, the French composers Yves Baudrier (b. 1906), André Jolivet (b. 1905), Daniel Lesur (b. 1908), and Olivier Messiaen (b. 1908), banded themselves into a coterie known as “La Jeune France,” they deliberately acknowledged the continuity of the French Tradition and confirmed their belief in Hector Berlioz as the founder of, and authority for, modern French musical philosophy. It was under this banner that the great Hector fought his many battles; true, he fought them mainly on his own behalf, but he was, nevertheless, concerned also with establishing a standard of judgment and a national sense of cultural values.
