Simeon ten Holt (Composer)

Born: 24th January 1923, Bergen, Netherlands

Died: 25th November 2012, Alkmaar, Netherlands

Nationality: Dutch

Simeon ten Holt was a Dutch contemporary classical composer.

Ten Holt was born in Bergen, North Holland, and studied with Jakob van Domselaer, eventually developing a highly personal style of minimal composition. Van Domselaer's influence on ten Holt's musical philosophy was considerable, with the younger composer picking up van Domselaer's interests in the links between music and visual art, in music's relationship with mathematics, and in the use of the piano as a principal instrument in his compositions.

Ten Holt generally used consonant, tonal materials and his works are organized in numerous cells, made up of a few measures each, which are repeated ad libitum according to the player's preference. Many of his works are for piano or ensembles of multiple pianos.
