Hans Gál (1890-1987) was an Austrian-British composer and musicologist. He studied at the Vienna Music Academy under some of the most distinguished figures in Austrian music, including Richard Robert and Guido Adler. He became a highly respected teacher and composer in Austria, but fled to Britain during the Nazi occupation of Austria in 1938.
In Britain, Gál initially struggled to find work as a composer but eventually secured a position at the University of Edinburgh as a lecturer in music. He spent much of his later life living and working in Scotland, where he continued to compose and teach at the university until his retirement in 1960.
Gál's compositions are characterized by their contrapuntal mastery, post-Romantic lyricism, and rhythmic vitality. His output includes operas, symphonies, chamber music, choral works, and songs. In addition to his composing, Gál was also a prolific musicologist, publishing several books on music history and criticism.
Despite a period of relative obscurity after his death, there has been renewed interest in Gál's work in recent years, with recordings of his music being released and some of his operas staged again.
