Ensembleérède studied piano, evaluation, and composition on the Paris Conservatoire. After earning the Prix de Rome in 1953, he came back towards the Conservatoire being a instructor of solfège and afterwards served being a teacher of etudes and evaluation. His ballet But (1959) was created on the Paris Opéra and his oratorio Le livre du Work (1958) was performed on the Concerts Pasdeloup. His compositions are identical in style compared to that of Honegger, diatonic with 1920s rhythms.
