Philipp Jarnach (26 July 1892 – 17 December 1982 in Börnsen) was a German composer of modern music ("Neue Musik"), pianist, teacher, and conductor.

Jarnach was born in Noisy-le-Sec, France, the son of a Spanish sculptor and a Flemish mother. Besides composer such as Hindemith, Jarnach is considered one of the leading and formative composer of the late German Romantic and early modern ("Neue Musik") eras.[1] Until 1914 he lived in Paris, where he studied piano under Édouard Risler and harmony under Albert Lavignac at the Conservatoire de Paris. During the First World War he was a student of Ferruccio Busoni in Zürich. He later completed the opera Doktor Faust which Busoni had left unfinished on his death in 1924.

In the 1920s Jarnach worked in Berlin as a pianist, conductor and composer. In 1927 he became a teacher in composition at the Hochschule für Musik Köln.[2] In 1949 he founded the Hamburger Musikhochschule (Hamburg Music Academy)[3] which he directed until 1959 and at which he taught until 1970. His students included Ivan Rebroff[4] (Hans Rolf Rippert as he was then, during his attendance at the Hochschule between 1950 and 1958), Kurt Weill, Otto Luening, Wilhelm Maler, Bernd Alois Zimmermann, Jürg Baur, Walter Steffens, Colin Brumby, Eberhard Werdin and Nikos Skalkottas. In 1982, he died in Börnsen.

Jarnach composed a Sinfonia brevis, a prelude for large orchestra, a quartet and a quintet for strings, further chamber music, especially for violin and piano, and vocal works.

Philipp Raphael Jarnach, auch Phillippe Jarnach (* 26. Juli 1892 in Noisy-le-Sec; † 17. Dezember 1982 in Börnsen) war ein deutscher Komponist und Musiklehrer. In den 1920er Jahren galt er neben Hindemith als führender Vertreter der damals modernen deutschen Musik.[1] Als „Erbteil seiner romanischen Herkunft“ bewies er „sichere Formkraft in einer selbstständigen Fortsetzung“ der von seinem Lehrer und Freund Busoni erstrebten „Klassizität“.[2] Da er bald selbst unterrichtete und diese Aufgabe sehr ernst nahm, blieb sein Werk, vorwiegend Instrumentalmusik, eher schmal. Teile der Kritik beklagten schon um 1950, der Komponist Jarnach drohe zu unrecht „vergessen“ zu werden.[3] Zu Jarnachs Schülern zählten Kurt Weill und Wilhelm Maler, die in gegensätzlichen weltanschaulichen Lagern standen.
