Chanson and badinerie for flute and piano
Chanson and badinerie for flute and piano
Pierre Camus: Chanson and badinerie for flute and piano was written for the Paris Conservatoire contest in 1913 and was dedicated to Adolphe Hennebains, flute professor at the Paris Conservatoire.
The work is a study in contrasts typical of late French Romanticism: a melancholic, songful Chanson followed by a lively, technically demanding Badinerie.
The year 1913 was a significant year for Pierre Camus, marked by academic success and professional immersion in the Parisian musical elite. Having studied flute with Philippe Gaubert and Paul Taffanel, and composition with Gabriel Fauré, Camus was at the peak of his early career successes. He had recently been selected as a finalist for the prestigious Prix de Rome (1911–1912).
By 1913, Adolphe Hennebains was the leading authority on the flute in France. Camus’s dedication of this mandatory test piece to him signaled Camus's status as a respected younger member of the French Wind School.
This period of high-profile commissions in Paris preceded his long-term appointment as the director of the Conservatoire in Amiens, a post he held from 1921 until his death in 1948.

Camus Pierre
Pierre Camus (1885-1948) was a French flutist, composer, conductor, and teacher. He is recognized as a vital figure of the French Flute School whose work serves as a bridge between late Romantic lyricism and early 20th-century academic rigor.
Born in Paris, in a family of a professional musician. His father, Lucien Camus, was a musician and employee at the Paris Opéra, which provided him early exposure to the highest standards of French performance. Camus studied flute with Paul Taffanel and Philippe Gaubert, composition with Charles-Marie Widor (succeeding his studies with Gabriel Fauré), and counterpoint with Georges Caussade.
A stellar student, Camus was selected as a finalist for the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1912, though his burgeoning career was soon interrupted by the outbreak of World War I. Camus was mobilized quickly at the start of World War I and was taken prisoner in 1915 during a battle near Crouy. He spent four years in German prisoner-of-war camps. During this captivity, he composed his major orchestral suite, "Impressions d’exil." ("Impressions of Exile").
After the war, he established himself as a premier flutist, serving as solo flute for the Concerts Colonne and performing frequently as a chamber musician. On the recommendation of Paul Dukas, Camus was appointed director of the Amiens Conservatory in 1922. He held this post for 26 years until his death, becoming the primary catalyst for the city's musical life and founding the Amiens Symphony Orchestra in 1933.
Camus’s style is anchored in the French tradition, noted for its "warm lyricism" and "great poetry".
