José Berghmans est un compositeur et musicologue français né à Moulins (Allier) le 15 juillet 1921 et mort à Éclaibes (Nord) le 8 mai 1992. Né en France de père belge et de mère française dans une famille dont la branche maternelle comptait de nombreux musiciens, José Berghmans se destine tout d'abord à l'étude de direction d'orchestre. Il entreprend l'étude de l'harmonie, du contrepoint, de la fugue et de l'instrumentation avec Francis de Bourguignon au Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles. Il y rencontre Safford Cape, musicien américain naturalisé belge et fondateur, plus tard, du groupe Pro Musica Antiqua, avec lequel il développe un goût pour une musique «autre». Il poursuit ses études au Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris dans la classe d'analyse et d'esthétique d'Olivier Messiaen et dans celle de composition de Tony Aubin. Il y remporte le 1er prix d'analyse en 1951 et le 1er prix 1er nommé en composition l'année suivante. En 1956, il est appelé, sous l'impulsion d'Elsa Barraine, à exercer la charge d'Inspecteur général de la musique et, à ce titre, il produit une étude comparative des systèmes d'enseignement de l'écriture musicale en France et aux États-Unis. Son activité de compositeur l'amène à travailler autant en Belgique qu'en France, pour le cinéma et le théâtre (dont le Théâtre royal des Galeries de Bruxelles). Résidant pendant la majeure partie de sa vie professionnelle à Béthemont-la-Forêt (Val-d'Oise), il occupe le poste de chef d'orchestre et de directeur musical à l'Odéon-Théâtre de France, sous la direction de Jean-Louis Barrault de 1959 à 1968. Il travaille par la suite avec des metteurs en scène français et étrangers de théâtre, de cinéma et de télévision comme Benno Besson, Matthias Langhoff, Jean-Marie Piquint, Manfred Karge, José Valverde et Jean Prat. Créateur de ballets pour Lazzini et surtout Serge Keuten, il compose également de nombreuses œuvres pour diverses formations instrumentales: sonates, musique de chambre, concertos et œuvres symphoniques. De 1979 à 1982, il effectue des recherches sur les musiques des Andes (Équateur, Pérou, Bolivie, Colombie) en tant que conseiller de l'UNESCO, créant un système «universel» de notation musicale convenant pour transcrire toutes les formes de musique connues, aussi bien les musiques dites ethnologiques du tiers-monde que les musiques occidentales, anciennes et modernes. Il s'agit d'une écriture unifiée convenant aussi bien à la métrique et à la tonalité de la musique européenne qu'aux échelles musicales et aux tonalités des musiques non européennes. Ce système a été officiellement présenté à Bruxelles, au Centre de conférence Albert Borschette de la Commission européenne sous les auspices de l'UNESCO. Pendant près de vingt-cinq ans, il réside et travaille dans sa résidence de Béthemont-la-Forêt, au nord de Paris, où il possède son propre studio de musique électronique.
