Robert Lemay (born February 13, 1960) is a Canadian composer of solo, chamber and orchestral works.[1]

Early years and education

[edit]

Born in Montreal, Lemay studied at Laval University, where he received his Master's degree (M.Mus.) under François Morel. He completed a doctorate (D.Mus.) at the Université de Montréal under Michel Longtin in 1994.[1][2] He also spent a year at the State University of New York at Buffalo, where he studied with David Felder and attended seminars given by Brian Ferneyhough, Louis Andriessen, and Donald Erb.[3] During this time, he met his wife, the pianist Yoko Hirota.[2] In France, he worked with François Rossé in Bordeaux and Georges Aperghis at the Atelier Théâtre et Musique in Paris.[3]

Career

[edit]

Lemay has been described as having "made significant and substantial contributions to the saxophone repertoire."[4][3] Of his over 140 works, 80 are for (or include) the saxophone, ranging from solos to large ensembles. Since the late 1980s, he has collaborated with artists of the instrument such as Jean-François Guay, Jean-Michel Goury, and Jean-Marie Londeix.[5][4]

Since 2000, Lemay has resided in Sudbury, Ontario where he taught at Laurentian University from 2000-21.[6][2] He also taught at the University of Saskatchewan in 1996-97.[7]

From 2004-18, Lemay was President and Artistic Director of the 5-Penny New Music Concerts in Sudbury, where he worked extensively with the Silver Birch String Quartet.[8][9][10][11][12][13]

Lemay was Composer-in-Residence of the Sudbury Symphony Orchestra from 2008-10.[14]

Compositional style

[edit]

Lemay is an atonal composer who has been influenced by the spectral techniques of Tristan Murail and Gérard Grisey, the modal approaches of Olivier Messiaen and Iannis Xenakis, and the rhythmic modulation of Elliott Carter.[4] He also has discussed his process for the creation of melodic material.[2][4]

The treatment of the concert setting — including stage layout, spatialization, gesture, and comportment and presence of the performer — is another stylistic concern, which was also the subject of Lemay's thesis and other writings.[15][16][17][4]

The employment of extended instrumental techniques has been analyzed in-depth in two of Lemay's solo pieces, Ariana, Kaboul (alto saxophone) and Clap (clarinet).[17][18]

Lemay has also written pieces for students including 6 Ushebtis (piano),[19] Train miniature (clarinet), and Beat the Drum (alto saxophone).[20]

Awards

[edit]

Lemay is a laureate of national and international composition competitions including:

  • Second prize. 2007. International Composition Prize (Luxembourg) for Mare Tranquilitatis III.[21][22]
  • Second prize. 2006. Kazimierz Serocki International Composers' Competition (Poland) for De brises en ressac.[23]
  • First prize. 2004. Harelbeke Muziekstad Wind Ensemble Competition (Belgium) for Ramallah.[24]
  • William St. Clair Low Award. 1989. Composers, Authors and Publishers Association of Canada (CAPAC) for Vagues vertiges.[25]
