Pierre-Max Dubois

Pierre -Max Dubois ( born March 1, 1930 in Graulhet; † August 29, 1995 in Rocquencourt ) was a French composer.

Dubois began his studies at the Conservatory of Tours, where he received a 1945 piano price. He was then at the Paris Conservatoire student of Darius Milhaud and won with the cantata Le Rire de Gargantua the Grand Prix de Rome. In 1964 he received the Grand Prize of the city of Paris for the Symphonic Serenade. He was professor of analysis at the Conservatoire de Paris and the Conservatory of Quebec and also a sought-after conductor.

Dubois composed more than one hundred and fifty works, including piano pieces, works for wind instruments (in particular for the saxophone ), orchestral and vocal works that have been published mainly in Alphonse Leduc. He stood in the tradition of tonal and melodic music and stayed away from the dodecaphonic and serial experiments contemporary composers.
