Rudi Tas
Rudi Tas [ˈrydi ˈtɑs] (born 1957 in Aalst, Belgium) is a Flemish composer of choral music, a conductor and an organist.
He studied at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and Ghent.[1][2][3][4]
Style
Tas combines modern compositional techniques with more traditional techniques or stylistic idioms such as tonality, neo-romanticism or neo-impressionism. A cantabile quality is always given pride of place. Within this polystylistic compositional approach, the eclectic element also continues to play a crucial role.[1][3]
