Born in 1948 in Rome, Philippe Hersant studied music at the Paris Conservatory, notably in the composition class of Andre Jolivet, before residing at the Casa Velasquez from 1970 to 1972 and then at the Villa Medici from 1978 to 1980. Since 1973he has been a producer for radio broadcasts with France Musiques.
Refusing to play tricks with history, Philippe Hersant has forged a language that extends the course of Western music as a whole, and, without ever seeking to establish aschool, he was one of the first of his generation to place himself, once more, in the domain of tonality and modality. He does not, for all that, banish all neo-classical tendencies. On the contrary, hechampions the mannerism and the deepsubjectivity of his memory as sources and guides to creation.
Ne en 1948 a Rome, Philippe Hersant a accompli toutes ses etudes musicales au Conservatoire national superieur de musique de Paris, notamment dans la classe de composition d'Andre Jolivet, avant d'etre boursier de la Casa Velasquez de 1970 a 1972puis de la Villa Medicis de 1978 a 1980. Depuis 1973, il est producteur d'emissions radiophoniques a France Musiques.
A la tete d'un catalogue riche d'environ soixante pieces (sans compter ses partitions pour le cinema ou la scene theatrale),Philippe Hersant est largement reconnu par le monde musical actuel.
Se refusant a ruser avec l'histoire, Philippe Hersant s'est forge un langage qui prolonge le cours de toute la musiqueoccidentale. Et sans jamais chercher a faire ecole, ilfut l'un des premiers de sa generation a se situer, de nouveau, dans l'espace tonal et modal. Il n'en bannit pas moins toute inclination neo-classique. Au contraire, il revendique le manierisme et la profonde subjectivite de sa memoire comme sourceset guides de creation.
