Gian Paolo Chiti (born 21 January 1939 in Rome) is an Italian composer and pianist.
After beginning his studies in piano, violin and composition at the age of four, he made a series of appearances as a child prodigy before entering the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome, Italy's most important music school, at the age of ten. His principal teachers include Carlo Zecchi, Arturo Bonucci (1894-1964) and Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (private and masterclass studies). Chiti was a prizewinner in the Treviso and Busoni competitions. [1]
Gian Paolo Chiti began a dual career as a concert pianist (often in the company of his wife, the mezzo-soprano Patricia Adkins Chiti, president and founder of the Adkins-Chiti Women in Music Foundation) and as a composer. His catalogue includes a large number of film and television scores. His compositions have been programmed both in Italy and abroad at such festivals as the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino in Florence, Venice Biennale, Edinburgh Festival, Lutoslawski Festival, Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte of Montepulciano, Nuova Consonanza, Incontri Musicali Romani, Chopin Festival in Poland, Sacred Music Festival in Chartres, France, Teatro Nacional di Caraccas in Venezuela and the Public Season at the Moscow Conservatory. [1]
Chiti has been director of the Composition department of the Conservatorio of Santa Cecilia in Rome since 1984. He is also a member of the Italian National committee for Dance, as well as on the faculty boards of several universities. [1]

In music, a duodecet—sometimes duodectet, or duodecimette—is a composition which requires twelve musicians for a performance, or a musical group that consists of twelve people. In jazz, such a group of twelve players is sometimes called a "twelvetet". The corresponding German word is Duodezett. The French equivalent form, douzetuor, is virtually unknown. Unlike some other musical ensembles such as the string quartet, there is no established or standard set of instruments in a duodecet.
