'''Jacques Wildberger''' (3 January 1922 – 23 August 2006) was a Swiss composer.

== Leben ==
Born in [[Basel]], Wildberger became a member of the [[Swiss Party of Labour]] (PdA) in 1944 and composed battle songs for the Basel workers' cabaret ''Scheinwerfer'' and the Neue Volksbühne Basel; in 1947 he left the PdA as a reaction to [[Stalin]]'s politics.

After first studies at the [[Hochschule für Musik (Basel)|Basel Conservatory]] he studied from 1948 to 1952 with [[Wladimir Rudolfowitsch Vogel]] in [[Ascona]], in particular the [[twelve-tone technique]] (dodecaphony).

Initially hostile to his dodecaphonic works in Switzerland, he later caused a sensation abroad as successor to [[Arnold Schönberg]] with his twelve-tone compositions. From 1959 to 1966 he taught [[musical composition]], [[music analysis]] and instrumentation at the [[Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe]]. After a stay in Berlin as a scholarship holder of the [[German Academic Exchange Service]] in 1967, he was professor for [[music theory]] and composition at the conservatory of the [[City of Basel Music Academy]] from 1967 to 1987.

He died in [[Riehen]] at age 84.
