Jeanne Emilie Virginie Vignery (born April 11, 1913 in Ghent ; † August 15, 1974 near Luttre, a district of the municipality of Pont-à-Celles ) was a Belgian music teacher and composer.
Life
Jeanne Vignery's father was an engineer, her mother Palmyre Buyst (1875–1957) came from a musical family and composed herself. Jeanne received her first training from her parents and then studied at the Koninklijk Muziekconservatorium (KC) in Ghent with Léon Torck, Léon Moeremans and Martin Lunssens. In 1930 she went to the École Normale de Musique de Paris to study viola and violin, where she graduated from violin and teacher after training with Marcel Chailley , Jules Boucherit and Jacques Thibaud . In Paris she then studied harmony with Nadia Boulanger and Jacques de la Presle and in music analysis with Paul Dukas . When the Second World War broke out, she had to return to Ghent. Due to an illness she also had to give up her career as a violin soloist. She therefore concentrated on music theory and composition. In 1941 she was nominated for the competition for the composition prize of the Prix de Rome , which then did not take place.
From 1945 Vignery was a teacher of harmony at the Conservatory in Ghent. She died in 1974 in a train accident on the Brussels – Charleroi railway near Luttre.
The “Sonata for Horn and Piano op.7” of her forgotten work is occasionally performed.
