Angèle Ravizé (1887 - 1980)[1] was a French ethnomusicologist, composer and educator who preserved French folk music and specialized in music education for young children.[2]

A native of southwest France, Ravizé attended the Paris Conservatory, where she studied with Andre Gedalge and won two prizes: a first prize for fugue and the Lepaulle prize for young teachers. Ravizé encouraged public schools to include instruction on recorders. In the late 1940s, she began producing children’s musical programs on the radio, often using preschool choruses accompanied by children’s orchestras.[2][3] She collaborated with Marie-Rose Clouzot on several pedagogical publications.[4]

Ravizé arranged French folk music for choral groups using regional dialects from Anjou, Brittany, Landes, Sarlat, and also from Canada.[3] She set texts by the following writers to music: Auguste Angellier,[5] Alexandre Arnoux, Claude Barangeon, Charles Boulen, Robert Browning, Charles Cros, Georges Gaudion, Philadelphe de Gerde (pseudonym for Madame Claude Duclos Requier), Alphonse-Marius Gossez, Carlos de Lazerme, Lucie Delarue-Mardrus, Clement Marot, Achille Millien, Jean Moréas (pseudonym for Ioannes Papadiamantopoulos), Jules Mousseron, Marie Vancalys (pseudonym for Marcelle Bertin), and Francis Yard (also known as Athanase François Yard).[1][4]

Ravizé’s works were published by A. Colin Bourrelier, Durand et Cie, Editions Henry Labatiaz, Éditions H. Lemoine, Rouart, and Lerolle & Cie.[4][6] Her publications include:
