Claude Ballif (22 May 1924 – 24 July 2004) was a French composer, writer, and pedagogue.[1] He worked at a number of institutions throughout more than 40 years of teaching, one of which he had attended as a student.[2] Among his pupils were Raynald Arseneault, Nicolas Bacri, Gérard Buquet, Joseph-François Kremer, Philippe Manoury, Serge Provost, Mehmet Okonsar,[citation needed] Simon Bertrand,[3] Alexandre Desplat,[4] and Claude Abromont.[5] He was described as a French modernist and as "the product of the exciting and turbulent post World War II years of the Western avant-garde" alongside composers Pierre Boulez and Karlheinz Stockhausen.[6][7]
