Wilhelm Killmayer

Wilhelm Killmayer was a German composer born in Munich in 1927 who began his professional career in the 1950s and worked primarily in contemporary classical music as a composer and educator. His output encompassed orchestral and chamber works, song cycles and choral pieces, characterised by contemplative, often lyrical textures, attention to poetic texts and folkloric material, and a gradual shift from post-war modernist techniques to a more individual, economy-driven language.
