Charles-Marie Panneton

Charles-Marie-Xavier Panneton (born June 15, 1845 in Montreal , † January 3, 1890 ibid) was a Canadian pianist, music teacher and composer.

Panneton attended the Collège de Joliette and received private tuition from Paul Letondal in Montreal . In 1864 his father sent him to study at the Leipzig Conservatory , but he returned to Canada after just three days. He then continued his training at the Conservatoire Royal de Musique et de Déclamation with Antoine François Marmontel and Camille Stamaty . During this time he attended concerts and theater performances, witnessed the controversies surrounding Richard Wagner's operas and was admitted to the salons of the composer Gioacchino Rossini and the painter Charles Durand .

In 1874 he returned to Canada. His poor health did not allow him to pursue an exhausting musical career. He taught music in Montreal and - to escape the cold Canadian winters - in Denver from 1877 to 1881. There he was also organist at a Roman Catholic church for a few months in 1879. From 1881 he taught at the school of the Sisters of Ste-Anne in Lachine. His students included Antonio Pratte , Joseph Saucier and Jean-Baptiste Denys .

Panneton was a member of the Société des auteurs, compositeurs et éditeurs de musique (SACEM). He composed a piano piece and the patriotic song Rallions-nous (1874, text by Benjamin Sulte ); however, his works never appeared in print. He also wrote an article for La Revue canadienne .
