==Biography==
Bernat was born in Johnstown, PA on July 3, 1931 to Pearl Willie and Andrew Bernat. His mother died when he was four. That same year, his maternal grandfather taught him to play the country fiddle. By the time he was a teenager, he was playing the clarinet and saxophone professionally in jazz bands. At 15, he composed his first sonata for violin and piano. He obtained his undergraduate degree from Carnegie Mellon University (then, Carnegie Tech) in Pittsburgh, PA and his Master of Fine Arts in Composition from Brandeis University.
In 1960, Bernat received a Crofts fellowship to attend the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s Tanglewood Music Center in the Berkshires where he studied with composer Aaron Copland. He held academic posts at Bethany College, Brandeis University, Ohio State University and the University of Pittsburgh before finding a permanent teaching home in the music department at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. In 1966, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra commissioned him to compose ''In Memoriam: John F. Kennedy'', a tribute to the late president. The piece was premiered on November 25, 1966. In the program notes, Bernat stated, “I tried to build the kind of piece that would be accessible to as many listeners as possible without compromising my own musical ideals.” This musical philosophy was a common thread throughout Bernat’s career. The Louisville Orchestra later recorded I''n Memoriam'' as part of their first edition series. From 1971-1972, Bernat was a Woodrow Wilson Fellow at California Institute for the Arts in Los Angeles, California where he studied electronic music. When he returned to Pennsylvania, he served as executive director of the Pennsylvania Council for the Arts from 1972 through 1975.
