Harry Gilbert (Gil) Trythall (born October 28, 1930) is an American composer and pianist of contemporary classical music.

Early life and education

Trythall was born on October 28, 1930 in Knoxville, Tennessee,[1] the older brother of composer and pianist Richard Aaker Trythall.

He attended Central High School in Knoxville and, in 1948, he enrolled at the University of Tennessee where he studied under David Van Vactor graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1951. He was then admitted, that same year, to Northwestern University where he studied under Wallingford Riegger obtaining a Master of Music in 1952.[2]

Trythall served in the United States Air Force from 1953 to 1957. He then completed his music studies attending, from 1957 to 1960, advanced composition courses at Cornell University where he studied under Robert Moffat Palmer obtaining a Doctor of Musical Arts degree.[3]

Trythall was part of the group of David Van Vactor's notable students named the Van Vactor Five together with Richard Aaker Trythall,[4] David P. Sartor, Jesse Ayers, and Doug Davis.

Career

Trythall started his academic career as a graduate assistant during his studies at Cornell University after which he served as an assistant professor at Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois from 1960 to 1964. He was then appointed professor of music theory and composition at Peabody College in Nashville, Tennessee where he taught from 1964 to 1975. During his academic tenure he also served as chairman of the Department of Music from 1973 to 1975. He was then appointed dean of the Creative Arts Center at West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia from 1975 to 1981.[5]

Following his retirement in 1996, he was a visiting professor of music at the Federal University of Espírito Santo in Vitória, Brazil from 1999 to 2001, where he taught courses in music.[6]

As a musician, Trythall is best known for his experiments and compositions in electronic music.
