JARRE Maurice

Bio

Unlike many musicians who started to learn music while still in their childhood, Maurice Jarre (1924-2009) was already late in his teens when he discovered music and decided to make a career in that field. He was one of the giants of 20th-century film music who was among the most sought-after composers in the movie industry and a creator of both subtle underscoring and grand, sweeping themes, not only writing for conventional orchestras... but also experimenting with electronic sounds later in his career. He was the father of the wellknown Jean-Michel Jarre.
