Maurice Journeau

Welcome !

You are welcome on Maurice Journeau's website. You will discover here a composer of 20^th century typically French music, whose work expands from 1921 to 1984. A music inherited from the spirit of Fauré, Debussy and Ravel, still keeping close to them from the melodic and harmonic standpoint, but bearing the hall-mark of a period nearer to us and characterized by a very personal style.
