Pierre Max Dubois
French composer (1930–1995)
Pierre Max Dubois, sometimes given as Pierre-Max Dubois (1 March 1930 – 29 August 1995) was a French composer of classical music, conductor, and music educator.
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 mid-1900s. 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]
