Ton That Tiet

about

Tôn-Thât Tiêt (Vietnamese: Tôn Thất Tiết, born 1933 in Huế) is a Vietnamese-born French music composer. His double-character family name is Tôn Thất, his given name Tiết (尊室節). Tiet came to Paris in 1958 to study composition at the Conservatoire de Paris. At the Paris Conservatoire he attended Jean Rivier's and André Jolivet's classes for composition. He was at first drawn to the serial technique but from 1966 on he turned to another mode of inspiration. His music has a special language in which both oriental and occidental trends are fused, although the inspiration and thoughts are drawn basically from oriental sources. In 1993, he founded the France-Vietnam Music Association to promote the development of traditional music in Vietnam.
