I'm learning a piece of music by the composer Georges Hüe. How is this last name pronounced? From the description I saw on https://www.lawlessfrench.com/pronunciation/dieresis/ I am guessing that the "H" is silent, the "ü" is pronounced as a standard "u," and the "e" is voiced instead of silent. Is that correct? (If someone knows IPA, then perhaps that would be a good way to answer?)

Hi Jim,
I must admit that I had never heard of this French composer although he was born in my hometown of Versailles.
As for his name, I am assuming that it will be pronounced like U in the same way as we pronounce 'aigüe/ ambigüe' with no diphthong.
Hope this helps!
