JADOT (Angleur 1931 - Liège 2000) André
Jadot was born in Angleur on August 10, 1931.
After his secondary school studies in the classical
languages section and his musical studies completed
at the Royal Academy of Music i, Liège
(violin, harmony, counterpoint and fugue), he was
appointed teacher of musical education for
secondary education for secondary schools. As from
1969, he was made a teacher of written harmony at
the Royal Academy of Music in Liège and from
1976, he became a teacher of counterpoint and
fugue. At the same time, he was entrusted in 1972
with the inspection of musical education courses in
secondary schools and in teachers' training
colleges. Compositions by André Jadot
feature an artistry that reaches the listener
directly and the interest of which owes nothing to
scholarly philosophico-technico-literary comments
used, unfortunately, all too frequently for the
purpose of masking a certain lack of know-how.
andré Jadot retired in 1987 and has
concentrated, since then, on chamber music,
essentially in a string quartet, as well as on
composing works destined for this ensemble.
