    Hector Berlioz

    Hector Berlioz est un compositeur, chef d'orchestre, critique musical et écrivain français, né le 11 décembre 1803 à La Côte-Saint-André (Isère) et mort le 8 mars 1869 à Paris. Reprenant, immédiatement après Beethoven, la forme symphonique créée par Haydn, Berlioz la renouvelle en profondeur par le biais de la symphonie à programme (Symphonie fantastique), de la symphonie concertante (Harold en Italie) et en créant la « symphonie dramatique » (Roméo et Juliette). L'échec de Benvenuto Cellini lui ferme les portes de l'Opéra de Paris, en 1838. En conséquence, l'opéra-comique Béatrice et Bénédict est créé à Baden-Baden en 1862, et son chef-d'oeuvre lyrique, Les Troyens, ne connaît qu'une création partielle à l'Opéra-Comique, en 1863. Berlioz invente les genres du « monodrame lyrique », avec Lélio ou le Retour à la vie, de la « légende dramatique », avec La Damnation de Faust, et de la « trilogie sacrée », avec L'Enfance du Christ, oeuvres conçues pour le concert, entre l'opéra et l'oratorio. Faisant souvent appel à des effectifs considérables dans sa musique symphonique (Symphonie funèbre et triomphale), religieuse (Requiem, Te Deum) et chorale (L'Impériale et Vox populi pour double choeur, Sara la baigneuse pour triple choeur), Berlioz organise d'importants concerts publics et crée le concept de festival. Enfin, avec La Captive et le cycle des Nuits d'été, il crée le genre de la mélodie avec orchestre, qui se développe aussi bien en France -- où s'illustrent notamment Duparc, Chausson, Ravel et André Jolivet -- qu'à l'étranger, avec les cycles de Wagner, Mahler, Berg, Schönberg, Richard Strauss et Benjamin Britten.
