Louis Boyer was born in Sigoulès (Dordogne); he studied music with his uncle, chanoine Boyer, then with Camille Doney (piano), Joseph Bonnet (organ), Amédée Gastoué (plain-chant) and Vincent d'Indy (composition).
Little is known of the composer, Louis Boyer, except that he was Chef de Musique at the city of Anger, France, for many years until he was succeeded in that position by Louis Bailly in 1918. As music supervisor Boyer had jurisdiction over all music activities in Angers including the band.
Dedicated À mon ami Monsieur Louis Marie François Andlauer.
And tomorrow I'll post music dedicated to Louis Boyer in return by Louis Marie François Andlauer.
