Yolande Uyttenhove
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yolande Uyttenhove (b. July 25, 1925–2000) is a Belgian composer and pianist.
A native of Leuze, Uyttenhove studied music at the Brussels Conservatory, and gained in addition a licentiate diploma from the Royal Academy of Music in London. She received numerous international awards for piano and composition, and placed in competitions in Barcelona, Viotti, and Lutèce. Her music owes much to that of the Romantics, especially Gabriel Fauré, and borrows from medieval traditions as well; it is enhanced through modern harmonic structures. Her own name for this style of composition is "intemporel".
