Life and music
Life and music
Born in Paris, Arnoux was the descendant of a family originally from Switzerland. He studied harmony, counterpoint and composition with Vincent d'Indy at the Schola Cantorum de Paris. He was very interested in Brittany and its traditional music (he owned a house in Brignogan) and learned the Breton language. In the 1920s, he was involved with the Breton cultural movements (cercle celtique in Paris, K.A.V., Bleun Brug) and joined the Breton artistic movement Seiz Breur in 1939. From 1934 he argued for a conservatory of Breton music that never came to fruition. He died in Vevey, Switzerland.
