Henry Barraud
Born: 23rd April 1900, Bordeaux, France
Died: 28th December 1997, Saint Maurice, France
Nationality: French
Henry Barraud (sometimes Henri) was a French composer.
He was born in Bordeaux. He was a student of Louis Aubert at the Conservatoire de Paris, but in 1927 failed to graduate, apparently because of his refusal to follow orthodox methods. Along with Pierre-Octave Ferroud and Jean Rivier, he helped to form the society Triton for the wider distribution of contemporary music.
After the Liberation of Paris in 1944, he was named the Director of Paris Radio, and later, in 1948, of what later became ORTF, a position he held until his retirement in 1965.
