Pierre Max Dubois
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pierre Max Dubois (March 1, 1930 - August 29, 1995) is a French composer of classical music. He was a student of Darius Milhaud, and though not widely popular, was respected. He brought the ideas of Les Six, of which his instructor was a member, into the middle 1900's. This group called for a fresh artistic perspective on music. The music of Dubois is characteristically light hearted with interesting harmonic and melodic textures. [1]
He was awarded the Prix de Rome in 1955. Most of his works are for woodwinds, especially for saxophone. His Quartet for Saxophones in F premiered in 1962. Another of his works is the 'Pieces caracteristiques en forme de suite', written for Alto Saxophone with piano accompaniment.
