Life
Life
Born in Brussels, Leborne was the son of an actor and spent his youth in Versailles where he learned the violin. Leborne then studied at the Conservatoire de Paris where he was a pupil of Victor Dourlen for harmony and Luigi Cherubini for composition. In 1818, he obtained the second Prix de Rome for the cantata Jeanne d'Arc and in 1820, the First Grand Prix de Rome for the scene Sophonisbe. That same year, he was appointed professor of solfège. In 1836, he succeeded Antoine Reicha as teacher of the counterpoint and fugue class. In 1840, he became professor of composition. Leborne wrote a Traité d'harmonie which was not published. He reissued Charles-Simon Catel's Traité complet d'harmonie. Among his pupils were Louis-Aimé Maillart, César Franck, Adolphe Deslandres and Victorin de Joncières. In 1829, he was appointed librarian at the Paris Opera, then in 1834 King's Music Librarian, and in 1853 Imperial Chapel Librarian.
