Biography

Graduated from the C.R.R. of Paris in composition, analysis and orchestration, Gabriel Field writes for all formations, from the soloist to the big symphony orchestra. He is also a pianist and violinist. It is with Stéphane Delplace that he develops his writing technique and finds his artistic identity.

It was after listening to Richard Strauss’ Four Last Lieder that Gabriel Field discovered his vocation as a composer. His music is part of a traditional tonal and modal language, seeking beauty and pain. It is essentially harmonic, dissonant and melancholic. He is also very attached to sacred music, because of its emotional strength and also because of the contemplation it requires and gives off.

He has collaborated with the writer Marie Nimier in Le Monde de Nounouille (a literary concert for young children) as well as with many performers including the organist Adam Bernadac. He is also one of the founding members of the Association of United Composers.
