''[[the music of Vic Legley|Introduction]]''
+
==Foreword==
 +
In 2011 Walter Legley donated an extensive part of his archive to the library of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels (Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel). This donation included a hundred manuscripts, numerous books, scores and concert programmes, all of which had once belonged to his father, Victor Legley (1915-1994).
  
−
''[[All works]]''
+
This exceptional acquisition for the conservatory library was the impulse for a new catalogue of Legley's oeuvre, to which Koenraad Sterckx devoted himself in the years 2013-2021.
  
−
''[[Genres (en)|Genres]]''
+
For the compilation of this catalogue, two older important catalogues were built on:
 +
*Carine Tessely: [[Tessely/en|Victor Legley (°1915) - Inleiding tot zijn oeuvre]] [Introduction to his oeuvre], a Master's thesis from 1977, and
 +
*Ronald de Roeck: [[De Roeck/en|La producció de Victor Legley]] [The works of Victor Legley], a doctoral thesis from 2009.
  
−
''[[Early works]]''
+
New source research allowed to complete these catalogues and to gain a (hopefully) complete overview of Legley's oeuvre.

==Victor Legley==
 +
For the composer's biography, we refer to the following websites:
 +
*Matrix - Centre for New Music: [https://matrix-new-music.be/en/publications/flemish-composers-database/legley-victor/ Legley Victor (1915-1994)]
 +
*Musicians from Ostend: [https://archief.oostende.be/product.aspx?id=6288 Legley Victor (1915-1994)] (dutch)
 +
*Muziekcentrum Vlaanderen: [http://www.muziekcentrum.be/identity.php?ID=134641 Victor Legley] (dutch)
 +
*Study Centre for Flemish Music: [https://www.svm.be/content/legley-vic Legley, Vic] (dutch)

== Notes on the catalogue==
−
|-
+
Some principles that apply to all pages describing Legley's compositions:
−
! Opus
+
*when no explicit reference is made to a source, that source is the autograph (sometimes a photocopy of it);
−
! Name
+
*when Legley didn't specify the duration of a composition in his autograph, we take over the duration given by the former [https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/CeBeDeM CeBeDeM], without explicitly referring to it; in a few cases other sources had to be consulted, these are explicitly referred to;
−
! Year of composition
+
*when referring to [[Tessely/en|Tessely]], we adopt the pagination used by [[De Roeck]] when referring to [[Tessely/en|Tessely]];
−
|-
+
*tempo indications are tacitly corrected: e.g. ''grazioso'' instead of Legley's usual incorrect ''gracioso''.

Foreword

In 2011 Walter Legley donated an extensive part of his archive to the library of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels (Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel). This donation included a hundred manuscripts, numerous books, scores and concert programmes, all of which had once belonged to his father, Victor Legley (1915-1994).

This exceptional acquisition for the conservatory library was the impulse for a new catalogue of Legley's oeuvre, to which Koenraad Sterckx devoted himself in the years 2013-2021.

For the compilation of this catalogue, two older important catalogues were built on:

New source research allowed to complete these catalogues and to gain a (hopefully) complete overview of Legley's oeuvre.

Victor Legley

For the composer's biography, we refer to the following websites:

Notes on the catalogue

Some principles that apply to all pages describing Legley's compositions:

  • when no explicit reference is made to a source, that source is the autograph (sometimes a photocopy of it);
  • when Legley didn't specify the duration of a composition in his autograph, we take over the duration given by the former CeBeDeM, without explicitly referring to it; in a few cases other sources had to be consulted, these are explicitly referred to;
  • when referring to Tessely, we adopt the pagination used by De Roeck when referring to Tessely;
  • tempo indications are tacitly corrected: e.g. grazioso instead of Legley's usual incorrect gracioso.

Thanks

I would like to thank the following persons who helped me to realize this catalogue:

  • first of all my colleagues in the library of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, especially Joachim, Johan, Olivia and Richard for their assistance
  • Emmanuel Sproelants and Pieterjan Hermans of the music library of the Flemish Radio Choir (Vlaams Radiokoor) and Brussels Philharmonic
  • Hugo Sledsens of the VRT archives
  • Ronald de Roeck
  • Carine Tessely
