Constant Pierre in 1890, photographed by Pierre Petit

Constant Pierre (24 August 1855 – 12 February 1918) was a French musicologist.[1]

Early life and career as a bassoonist[edit]

Born Constant-Victor-Désiré Pierre in Passy, near Paris, he entered the Conservatoire de Paris in 1878 and studied bassoon, winning certificates of merit in 1880 (second) and 1881 (first). From 1878 to 1879 he played with the orchestras of the Folies Bergère, the Skating-Théâtre, and the Théâtre-Lyrique (at the Ventadour and the Gaîté). From 1881 to 1882 he played with the orchestras of the Folies-Dramatiques and the Théâtre de la Renaissance. Subsequently, he played with the orchestras of the Opéra Comique, the Théâtre de l'Odéon, and the Comédie-Française, among others.[2]

Administrator and journalist[edit]

Pierre was a clerk in the Ministry of War from 1876 to 1880, and at the Paris Conservatory, beginning in 1881. He was an assistant secretary at the Conservatory from 1900 to 1910.[1][3]

He also wrote for a number of music journals, including Le monde musical, where he was also an editor, and received an award from the Société des Compositeurs in 1889 and the Bordin prize of the Institut de France in 1900 and 1905.[1]

Musicologist[edit]

As a musicologist he published studies on the music of the French Revolution and the history of the Paris Conservatory up to 1900, which are still important sources of information concerning these subjects due to their thoroughness and accuracy.[1]

He died in Paris.
