Biography
Biography
Vieu was born as Jeanne Fabre at Béziers. Vieu was the daughter of pianist Marie-Élodie Fabre, who taught music. She started composing at the age of 11. Vieu studied composition with Jules Massenet, singing with Marie Caroline Miolan-Carvalho, and counterpoint and fugue with André Gedalge. She gained recognition thanks to her operetta Madame Tallien (1902), and because of her fairy tale La belle au bois dormant (1902), the first performance of which took place at the Théâtre des Mathurins. Other successful titles of her hand are Au bal de Flore, Les Petites entravées (1911), and Aladin, ombres chinoises (1904). Vieu published about 100 works, some under her pseudonym Pierre Valette, including orchestral, chamber, piano, and operas. Her music has been classified as 19th-century due to its formal and harmonic character. She operated a publishing company with her presumed husband Maurice Vieu between 1907 and 1925. They opened a publishing house in Paris called Maurice Vieu and Jane Vieu. She died in Paris in 1955.
