Émile Goué: Duo for Violin and Cello Op. 34 Music of Remembrance Fall Concert November 5, 2017 Illsley Ball Nordstrom Recital Hall, Benaroya Hall, Seattle Mikhail Shmidt, violin; Walter Gray, cello About Émile Goué: In his all-too-brief life, Émile Goué distinguished himself as a composer, a scientist, and an educator. When he obtained his doctorate in physics at the age of 25, he had already entered the Toulouse Conservatory. Goué saw his gifts for music and science not as competing passions, but as interwoven elements of a personal philosophy. “Music for me is a metaphysical activity,” he wrote, “and is inseparable from my life." In 1924, the conservatory presented one of his earliest works, a quartet for flute, violin, cello and piano, and the following year they performed a symphony. These early works, and others, were lost when Goué destroyed the manuscripts, deeming them unworthy. In 1936 Goué moved to Paris, where he was guided at first by the composer Albert Roussel, who, like Goué, had a first love of mathematics. After Roussel died the following year, Goué became a protégé of Charles Koechlin. Koechlin, whose other students included Germaine Tailleferre and Francis Poulenc, was an influential advocate of contemporary French music, and he encouraged Goué to experiment with conventions of tonality and counterpoint. Mobilized in 1939 as an artillery lieutenant, Goué was taken prisoner in 1940 and spent the next five years in Oflag X-B, a prisoner-of-war camp for officers in Nienburg am Weser, between Hanover and Bremen. In the camp, Goué was a remarkable presence. He organized classes in music history, and added courses on harmony and counterpoint, the fugue, musical aesthetics, and the symphony. He also coached fellow prisoners in physics, helping them prepare for credentials they’d later seek. He assembled a 50-member camp orchestra and a choir, presenting 20 concerts with programs that ranged from Mozart and Beethoven to César Franck and Arthur Honegger. Not including the immature works that Goué discarded, his opus includes over 40 compositions. More than 20 of them, including some of the most important ones, were created under conditions of harsh captivity. For a short time under the German occupation, France’s Ministry for Prisoners of War organized concerts of music composed by French POWs, and the concerts were transmitted on the radio to the prisoners themselves. On December 12, 1942, the Société des Concerts du Conservatoire in Paris performed Goué’s "Psaume CXXIII" (Psalm 123) for orchestra, men’s choir and tenor. Goué composed the "Duo for Violin and Cello" in Oflag X-B in 1942. It was premiered in Paris in 1943, and performed at a concert in the camp on September 3, 1944. After Oflag X-B was liberated by the British in April 1945, Goué returned to Paris and resumed his double career as a scientist and a musician. That year he completed a string quartet, and finished the orchestration of his "Sketch for an Inscription on a Stèle". At the same time, he was professor of special mathematics at the elite Lycée Louis-le-Grand. However, Goué’s health never recovered from the effects of his imprisonment. He retired to a university sanatorium, and died there in October 1946 at the age of 42. He is buried in Guéret, in Acquitaine, where the Conservatoire de Musique et Art Dramatique now bears his name. About Music of Remembrance: Founded in 1998 by pianist Mina Miller, Music of Remembrance (MOR) fills a unique role throughout the world by remembering the Holocaust through music. With concert performances, educational programs, recordings, and commissions of new works by some of today’s leading composers, MOR honors those of all backgrounds who found the strength to create even in the face of suffering, and those who had the courage to speak out against cruelty. We tell stories that communicate urgent lessons for today, and we look beyond the Holocaust itself to the experience of others who have been excluded or persecuted for their faith, ethnicity, gender or sexuality.
