Maestro Étienne RAMBOATIANA (1930-2007) : "CONCERTO FOR 40 GUITARS".

The Maestro Étienne RAMBOATIANA came from the village of Ankadivoribe Atsimo, in the Kingdom of Imerina, Central Highlands of Madagascar. He was a Professor of Music, Church Organist, Poet, Arts Painter, Musician Concertist, and a National Composer who composed on different styles of Music, such as Classical music, Traditional music, Sacred Music, Jazz Music, and Modern Music. 

He worked as Musician and Composer who visited many countries in the five continents (America, Africa, Europe, Asia, ...) In 1958-1965.

He composed more than 100 masterpieces of Music for Guitar, Valiha, Flute, Violon, Cello, Vocal, Basson, Saxophone, Xylophone, Doublebass, Percussions, Piano, Organ,  and many others,

 with different numbers of Music instruments, such as Solo, Duo, Trio, Quatuor, Chamber Music, Choir and Orchestra, Orchestra, and Grand Orchestra.

He also composed two  "Concertos for Guitar and Orchestra". Moreover, he composed a "Concerto for 40 Guitars" which was a "première mondiale" because it was the first time in the History of Music, especially in the History of the Guitar that there were 40 Guitar players who performed together with a Music for 40 Guitars in the World (Antananarivo, 1979). 

 We are among his 40 disciples who performed the first "Orchestra for 40 Guitars" in the world (1978). And I was the first Classical Guitarist who was seated to his left on the picture. We did six months of musical rehearsals, one rehearsal of three hours per week, before the first performance of this first "Concerto for 40 Guitars" in the world and this musical concert was at the global top level.

Among his 40 disciples who performed this first "Orchestra for 40 Guitars" in the world, except Johns Rajohnson, Doné Andriambaliha and Harilala Razafindranaivo, were César R., Mamisoa R., Dr. Bruno Rasoamanana, Toby Ramaholimihaso, Pascal Rakotobe, Gérard Randrianarivony, Coco Randriananja, Tianome Razakamanantsoa, Dr. Saholy Ranaivoarivelo, Michelle Radilofe, Nicole Radilofe, Sylvie Holisoa Rakotovao, Rachel Ramboatiana, Annie Ravelo Hoerson, Hery Rabarijohn, Hervé Rakotoarivony, Dr. Ndriana Rabarioelina, Nirina Tremarisoa Rakotomalala, Haga Ravelojaona, Dany Rajonhson, Lalasoa Hericole, Lala Perlin Andrianirina, Urbain Randria, Gabin Randria, Dimbitsiferana Hery Ravoniandro, and other friends.

And he participated to many Festivals, such as an "International Festival of Classical Guitar" with Maria Luisa Anido (Argentina), Gérard François (Mauritius), and Patrick Sida (La Réunion).

A Musical Concert entitled "Etienne Ramboatiana : A Great Maestro of the Music" to pay tribute to him was organised by the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Madagascar (NGO-CNSMM) under the direction of Ndriana Rabarioelina, at the Madagascar Hilton, Antananarivo, 1997.

At the end, Maestro Etienne RAMBOATIANA was among the Great Composers of the 20th Century in the world, like Isaac Albéniz, Enrique Granados, and Heitor Villa-Lobos.
