Born in 1954, Peter Bacchus got addicted to music after the impression caused on him at a jazz concert by the American flutist Herbie Mann. Thus, he started his musical studies under the influence of jazz. He earned his diploma at Suny University Purchase (USA), composition at Aspen Festival and at Conservatoire Americain of Fontainebeu (France) and was a chamber music scholar at the Yale Summer School of Music and Art. He has studied with Julius Baker, John Corigliano,Nards Bonet,Thomas Nyfenger, and Keith Underwood.
He is a founder of Flute Force, an American flute quartet of a markedly innovative character that has received many awards. He has various recordings both as performer and of his own music. Currently he is on the faculty of the international festival College-Conservatory of Music of Cincinnati and in the Lucca Opera Theater in Italy.
The flutist and conductor Ransom Wilson has said about his music,"it has a consistency of style and a harmonious language, rarely found in composers of any age."
His works include chamber music pieces, orchestral works, and numerous choral works.

The lyric first movement starts the piece with three flutes and alto flute. The second movement, a perpetual motion scherzo, begins with four C-flutes. There is no break between the third and fourth movements, and takes places over an ostinato. The piece comes to a bravura and virtuosic finale.
