Michel Brunet Perrault (20 July 1925 – 6 February 2010) was a Canadian composer,[1] conductor,[2] music educator, and percussionist.
As a composer, his work largely pulls on Canadian folk melodies and his compositions include classical of harmony and counterpoint.
Perrault has been commissioned to write works for such notable organizations as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, and the Victoria Symphony Orchestra.
He then entered the Conservatoire de musique du Québec à Montréal where he was a pupil of Réal Gagnier from 1943 to 1944.
From 1958 to 1962 Perrault held the post of music director of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens; in 1965 the company performed his composition Suite Canadienne.
