Machine Translation for French Wikipedia Page:

Born in 1932, nothing predisposed particularly Yvon Bourrel, this son of a teacher and a housewife (former teacher), to become a composer. And yet, his fate will change after hearing Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony on the radio during the war. It's a huge upheaval which will arouse in him a craving for music. Some ten years later, he studied composition with Darius Milhaud , who encouraged him strongly, and more briefly with Jean Rivier . However, in 1954, he became a music teacher in the National Education because it is inherently difficult to live in the composition, it also creates pieces that are not in the spirit of contemporary music then vogue from the mid fifties.

Indeed, his music, Y. Bourrel situates itself in the continuation of Emmanuel Chabrier , Gabriel Faure and Jean Francaix but is closer in taste Martinu , Shostakovich and Benjamin Britten , never giving the tone or modality. It has a very sober, served by a love for work well done.

Musical Aesthetics
Its origins and southern northerner partly explain the originality of its kind, combining a passionate sensibility, brought to dream and a spirit of contemplation and highly organized, easily dominating the major forms of musical language. He studied with Henri Challan (harmony), Simone Ple-Caussade (counterpoint and fugue), Darius Milhaud and Jean Rivier (composition).

His rich oeuvre (126 opus numbers) covers all genres of vocal and instrumental music, except opera. It is very varied and was inspired by the popular philosopher and musicologist Vladimir Jankelevitch , great defender of French music of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
