Jean-Yves Daniel-Lesur (19 November 1908 – 2 July 2002) was a French organist and composer. His proper name was Jean-Yves-Daniel Lesur, but he was known often simply known as Daniel-Lesur. His mother, Alice Lesur, was an accomplished composer in her own right; some of her music was published. He entered the Paris Conservatory at age 11, studying solfège with Emile Schwartz, harmony with Jean Gallon, and composition with Georges Caussade. He also took private lessons in piano with Armand Ferté and composition with Charles Tournemire.〔Tual, Francois-Gildas: "Daniel-Lesur, Jean-Yves", in: ''Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart (MGG)'', biographical part vol. 5 (Kassel: Bärenreiter, 2001), cc. 374–376.〕 From 1935 to 1964, he was professor of counterpoint at the Schola Cantorum under director Nestor Lejeune, becoming director himself in 1957. In 1936, he co-founded the group ''La Jeune France'' along with composers Olivier Messiaen (with whom he would remain a lifelong friend), André Jolivet and Yves Baudrier, who were attempting to re-establish a more human and less abstract form of composition. ''La Jeune France'' developed from the avant-garde chamber music society ''La spirale'', formed by Jolivet, Messiaen, and Daniel-Lesur the previous year. That same year he, together with Jean Langlais and Jean-Jacques Grunenwald, gave the first performance of Olivier Messiaen's ''La Nativité du Seigneur''.〔 〕 Between 1927 and 1937 he seconded Tournemire at the organ of Ste. Clotilde, Paris, and was organist of the Benedictine Abbey of Paris, 1937–44. Daniel-Lesur also served as director of the Opéra National de Paris from 1971 to 1973. His opera ''Andrea del Sarto'' (1968) received the composition prize of the City of Paris in 1969. In 1973, he received the Prix Samuel Rousseau of the Académie des Beaux Arts. In 1982, he was elected member of the Institut de France. ==Selected compositions== Stage *''Andrea del Sarto'' (libretto after Alfred de Musset), opera in 2 acts (1968) *''Ondine'' (libretto after Jean Gireaudoux), opera in 3 acts (1981) *''La Reine morte'' (libretto after Henry de Montherland), not dated Orchestral works *''Suite française'' (1935) *''Passacaille'' (1938) for piano and orchestra *''Pastorale'' (1938) for chamber orchestra *''Variations'' (1943) for piano and string orchestra *''Ouverture pour un festival'' (1951) *''Concerto da camera'' (1953) for piano and chamber orchestra *''Sérénade'' (1954) for string orchestra *''Symphonie de danses'' (1958) *''Symphonie 'd'ombre et de lumière (1974) *''Nocturne'' (1974) for oboe and string orchestra *''Fantaisie concertante'' (1992) for cello and orchestra Chamber music *''Suite'' (1939) for oboe, clarinet, and bassoon *''Suite'' (1940) for string quartet *''Suite en trio'' (1943) for violin, viola, cello and piano *''Suite médiévale'' (1945) for flute, harp, violin, viola, cello *''Sextuor'' (1948) for flute, oboe, violin, viola, cello, harpsichord *''Élégie'' (1956) for two guitars *''Nocturne'' (1974) for oboe and piano *''Novelette'' (1977) for flute and piano *''Marine'' (1978) for harp *''Lamento'' (1983) for violin and piano *''Stèle à la mémoire d'un héros'' (1991) for flute and string quartet Piano music *''Soirs'' (1929) *''Bagatelle (1934) *''Pavane'' (1938) *''Le Bouquet de Béatrice'' (1946) for piano 4-hands *''Pastorale varié'' (1947) *''Ballade'' (1948) *''Nocturne'' (1952) *''Le Bal'' (1954) *''3 Études'' (1962) *''Fantaisie'' (1962) for 2 pianos *''L'Armoricaine'' (1964) *''Contre-fugue'' (1974) for 2 pianos *''Berceuse sur le nom de Schostakovitch'' (1975) *''Chanson à danser'' (1980) Organ works *''Scène de la passion'' (1931) *''La Vie intérieure'' (1932) *''In paradisium'' (1933) *''Hymnes'' (1935) *''Quatre Hymnes'' (1939) Choral works (with poets) *''Annonciation'' (Loÿs Masson), cantata for speaker, tenor, mixed chorus and chamber orchestra (1951) *''Le Cantique des cantiques'' (biblical) for 12 voices and chorus (1952) *''Cantique des colonnes'' (Paul Valéry) for female voices and orchestra (1957) *''Encore un instant de bonheur'' (Henry de Montherland) *numerous folksong arrangements Songs (for voice and piano) *''Les Harmonies intimes'' (Daniel-Lesur) (1931) *''La Mort des voiles'' (Paul Fort) (1931) *''La Mouette / Les Yeux fermés'' (Heinrich Heine) (1932) *''Quatre Lieder'' (Cécile Sauvage, H.
