Life
Fisher Tull was born September 24, 1934 in Waco, Texas and died in Huntsville, Texas in August, 1994. Upon graduation from Waco High School in 1952 he enrolled at The University of North Texas where he subsequently earned the degrees Bachelor of Music in Music Education (1956), Master of Music in Music Theory and Trumpet Performance (1957), and Doctor of Philosophy in Music Composition (1965). His principal composition teacher was Samuel Adler. In 1993, he was named a Distinguished Alumnus by the UNT College of Music.
He joined the music faculty at Sam Houston State University in 1957, serving as Chair of the Department of Music from 1965 to 1982. As an administrator, he held several offices in the Texas Association of Music Schools and was a member of the Board of Directors and the Commission on Undergraduate Standards of the National Association of Schools of Music. He was cited for excellence in teaching by being named a Piper Professor in 1984. At his death, Dr. Tull held the rank of Distinguished Professor and served as Director of Graduate Studies in Music.
