Pierre Gabaye (20 February 1930 – 1 November 2019) was a French composer.
His musical education began at age seven on piano, which led him to pursue a career as a pianist and composer in both the classical and jazz spheres.
He studied piano with Simone Plé-Caussade at the Conservatoire de Paris.
He won the 1956 Prix de Rome,[1] and was later appointed Director of Light Music at Radio France.
[2] Gabaye's compositional style can be described as a late example of French neo-classical tradition, in the mold of Poulenc and Saint-Saëns.
