SCHOEMAKER, Maurice
Maurice SCHOEMAKER (Brussels, 27th December 1890 - Brussels, 24th August 1964)
Originally Maurice SCHOEMAKER was self-taught. Later he studied harmony with Théo Ysaye, counterpoint with Michel Brusselmans, fugue with Martin Lunssens, composition and instrumentation with Paul Gilson. He held several administrative posts, and amongst others was chairman of Sabam.
On his instigation the former pupils of Paul Gilson founded the composer group “Les Synthétistes” on the occasion of the 60th birthday of their master. These pupils were considered the best young progressive composers of the twenties.
As a composer, he wrote chiefly tonal music with a preference for purely classical forms with romantic lyricism. The choice of his titles often reveals his Flemish character. In all his works he achieved a great unity of style.
