Biography


Born in Toulouse, Salvayre attended the Toulouse Conservatory [fr] and then the Paris Conservatory, where he studied piano with Antoine François Marmontel, organ with François Benoist, harmony with François Bazin, and composition with Ambroise Thomas.[2] He received a first prize in organ and competed five times unsuccessfully for the Prix de Rome in composition before winning the Premier Grand Prix in 1872 with the dramatic scene Calypso. In Rome he composed several pieces, which were presented in Paris: Ouverture symphonique and ballet music for Albert Grisar's opera Les Amours du diable in 1874, and La Résurrection (a "biblical symphony", in 1876; renamed La Vallée de Josaphat in 1882).[3]

He became the chorus master of the Opéra Populaire at the Théâtre du Châtelet in 1874.[4] For several years he was a music critic for the periodical Gil Blas. He became Chevalier of the Legion of Honour in 1880.[3]

His grand opera La Dame de Monsoreau, with a libretto by Auguste Maquet based on the play by Maquet and Alexandre Dumas, was commissioned by the Paris Opera and premiered at the Palais Garnier on 30 January 1888. It was not very successful and was withdrawn after its eighth performance.[5]

He died in Ramonville-Saint-Agne.
