After graduating from the Massachusetts Normal Art School (now the Massachusetts College of Art and Design), Piston studied music at Harvard University and in Paris with Nadia Boulanger and Paul Dukas (1924–26).

His program music includes the orchestral suite Three New England Sketches (1959); his only composition for the theatre is the ballet The Incredible Flutist (1938). He composed eight symphonies, the third (1947) and seventh (1960) of which were awarded Pulitzer Prizes.
