Ernest Bourmauck

French choir leader and conductor

Ernest Bourmauck (18.. – 1944) was a French choir leader and conductor. Very little is known about him except that he worked closely with Gabriel Fauré, particularly premiering the French composer's Requiem and Francis Poulenc's Mass in G major.

Poulenc composed "Tristis est anima mea" (fourth part of the Quatre motets pour un temps de pénitence) in Paris in November 1938 and dedicated it to Bourmauck.[1]

He directed "Les Chanteurs de Lyon" (another name for "Les Chœurs de Lyon",[2] according to BNF) between 1934 and 1942[3] on "Francis Poulenc"[4] when he was succeeded by André Cluytens.
