Selected works
His paternal grandfather was politician and judge Edvard Hagerup Bull, who was a cousin of the composer Edvard Hagerup Grieg. During September 1955 he married Anna Kvarme. Bull studied at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo and at the Conservatoire de Paris where he won the 1952 Prix de Composition Musicale. He was awarded the prize for musical composition from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris. Other teachers include Jean Rivier and Olivier Messiaen. His teacher Darius Milhaud described him as "a musician with a solid technique and a truly very enthralling, vigorous and highly imaginative personality". Bull became a notable composer. He wrote two operas and thirty orchestral works and chamber music.
