About the composer
Marc Eychenne was born in Algiers in 1933. He studied music (solfège, violin
and chambermusic) at the Alger Conservatory. In 1954 he won the Grand Prix
awarded by the city of Alger for his performance on the violin. After performing
numerous recitals with piano accompaniment and concertos with orchestra, both in
Algeria and in France, Marc Eychenne obtained his card as soloist to play
chamber music in the French Broadcasting Service in 1963, which allowed him to
take part in numerous radio broadcasts in France and abroad. But gradually his
inclination for composition took over from his interest in the violin and,
(beginning with his first piece, an Andante expressivo for violin and piano
written at the age of twelve), Eychenne's compositions increased with the
passing of the years: chamber music, orchestral music, vocal music (Requiem) and
music for children.
