Nationality: Spanish

Joaquim Homs i Oller was a Spanish composer.

Homs was born in Barcelona, and studied cello until 1922. Afterwards, he self-educated himself in composition before studying on-and-off from 1931 to 1938. From 1930 to 1936 he studied composition with Roberto Gerhard (Menéndez Aleyxandre and Pizà 2001). He is regarded by one author as not just a Catalan, but also a Spanish composer (Menéndez Aleyxandre 1980), while another source names him only as Catalan (Menéndez Aleyxandre and Pizà 2001).
