Fran\u00e7ois Servais (1807-1866) was a pioneering cellist, a European star and one of the founding fathers of the Belgian School of Cello Playing.

This brochure enables the public to discover this multifacetted and remarkable Belgian musician.<\/p>\n

Peter Fran\u00e7ois, Servais, fils de l\u2019harmonie! De familie Servais en de Halse Harmonie<\/strong><\/p>\n

Halle, Koninklijke Harmonie Sinte-Cecilia, 2015
\n178 p., 141 ill. – ISBN: 9789090058290<\/p>\n

On the occasion of the 225th anniversary of the Halle wind orchestra Peter Fran\u00e7ois describes the close link between the orchestra and the Servais family. The Halle cellist Fran\u00e7ois Servais is one of the most prominent virtuosi of the 19th century, who was appreciated for his artistic talents all over Europe. Yet, he always used to return to his native town. From his early youth till his death he had good contacts with the Halle wind orchestra, presumably first as a musician and conductor, afterwards as an honorary member and a president. Also his father and sons were acquainted with the orchestra. The author, himself a historian and musicologist, drew on twelve years of research in the records and so was able to lay bare some fascinating and unknown facts.<\/p>\n

Actually the case of the Halle wind orchestra is also indirectly useful for the study of the history of the Belgian amateur music associations in general. In this context the book reveals the close contacts there were between the wind orchestra and the church orchestra, which was also the case in numerous other towns and parishes. Another finding concerns the cooperation between the band and the town authorities in Halle and other places as well. The numerous samples of 19th century concert programmes prove the repertories and above all the concerts themselves to have been devised quite differently as compared with the present time. Particularly striking is the fact that a music association is an instance of collaboration of people \u2013 musicians, the conductor, the management and the audience, year after year.<\/p>\n
