Peter Schat

Peter Schat

Peter Schat (June 5, 1935, in Utrecht - February 10 2003, in Amsterdam) was a Dutch composer.

In the 1950s, while studying with Kees van Baaren at the conservatories of Utrecht and The Hague, Schat created his opus 1, "Passacaglia and Fugue for organ" (1954), and "Septet" (1957). In 1957 he also won the Gaudeamus International Composers Award.

From 1960 he studied with Pierre Boulez in Basel. In 1967 he co-founded the Studio for Electro-Instrumental Music (STEIM) in Amsterdam. Among his most widely noted works are "Thema" (from 1970) and "To You" (from 1972). To You was performed at the Holland Festival.

The 1970s also brought Schat's most distinctive contribution to 20th century music theory, the "tone clock". It lends its name to a translation of his collected essays, "The Tone Clock (Contemporary Music Studies)" (1993, ISBN 3-7186-5369-9).

Schat died in 2003 from cancer.
