Gabriel Pareyon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gabriel Pareyon (born October 23, 1974, Zapopan, Jalisco) is a Mexican composer and musicologist.

He studied at the Composers’ Workshop of the National Conservatoire of Music, Mexico City (1995-1998), with Mario Lavista, and he received bachelor and master degrees in composition at the Royal Conservatoire, The Hague (2000-2004), where he studied with Clarence Barlow. He is currently developing a doctoral research on cognition, language and music at the Faculty of Arts, University of Helsinki, under the supervision of Eero Tarasti.

He won a World Saxophone Competition for Composers first prize (Bangkok, 2006), and was laureated at the Tchaikovsky Conservatoire International Composers Competition (Moscow, 2003). He also received the Andrzej Panufnik International Prize (Kraków, 2001). His output as composer includes works for soloist and ensembles, choir, symphony orchestra, opera and music theatre. Although he experiments with Mexican traditional instruments, metres and phonetics from Nahuatl and Hñähñu, his music also combines wider aspects of linguistics and mathematical models (series, patterns, algorithms, etc.).
