Rabuteau studied at the Conservatoire de Paris with François Bazin and Ambroise Thomas . In 1868 he won the Premier Grand Prix de Rome with the three-part scene Daniel after Emile Cécile .
During his stay in Rome, which was associated with the award, he composed the oratorio Le passage de la mer rouge , which was performed at the Conservatoire in 1874, and a symphonic suite, which Édouard Colonne included in the program of his famous Concerts Colonne .
