Book Synopsis The Odyssey of an American Composer by : Otto Luening
Download or read book The Odyssey of an American Composer written by Otto Luening and published by Macmillan Reference USA. This book was released on 1980 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Milwaukee in 1900, Otto Luening grew up in the rich musical culture of German immigrants. At the age of five he wrote his first piece of music - a "very modern" waltz. When his father, a conductor and conservatory teacher, heard it he said, "It must be discouraged, an artist's life is much too difficult in the United States." In 1912 the Luenings moved to Munich, where Otto studied flute at the Royal Academy. Soon after World War I began, Luening fled to Zurich, where he studied with the legendary Ferruccio Busoni and played in the Tonhalle Orchestra under such conductors as Richard Strauss. In Zurich he found a patron in Edith Rockefeller McCormick. He also acted in James Joyce's theater group and took part in some of the bizarre musical projects of the Dadaists. Back in America in the twenties, he worked as a pit musician in a Chicago movie theater, played vaudeville piano, and organized the American Grand Opera Company. His reputation as a composer, conductor, and performer soon earned him a position at the Eastman School of Music, and from there he went on to teach at the University of Arizona, Bennington College, and Columbia University. Luening has been a vital force in American music for many years. As the composer of Evangeline and as conductor of world premieres of Gian Carlo Menotti's The Medium and Virgil Thomson and Gertrude Stein's The Mother of Us All, he has fostered the growth of American opera. One of the first to compose electronic music, he has also been tireless in his work as a composer and educator to alert Americans to their musical heritage. Here is the delightful story of one man's adventures in the republic of music, and his excursions to Hollywood, Tunisia, the Cologne studio of Karlheinz Stockhausen, and the Acadian towns of Nova Scotia and Louisiana, where he wrote his opera. Here also is the story of his relationships with such different personalities as Martha Graham, Harry Partch, Edgar Varese, and Carl Sandburg. A pioneer, musical roustabout, and faithful servant of his art, Otto Luening affords us through his memoirs a vivid and full picture of twentieth-century musical life.

Book Synopsis Charles Koechlin (1867-1950) by : Robert Orledge
Download or read book Charles Koechlin (1867-1950) written by Robert Orledge and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1942 Wilfrid Mellers classed Koechlin "among the select number of contemporary composers who really matter," yet it is only in the 1980s that Koechlin has begun to achieve the recognition he deserves as a composer of breadth, vision and powerful originality: a pioneer of polytonality and a master orchestrator who was greatly admired by contemporaries such as Faure, Debussy, Satie and Milhaud. Lavishly illustrated with photographic and musical examples, this book provides the first comprehensive evaluation of Koechlin's life and works. As well as concentrating on major symphonic works like Koechlin's Jungle Book cycle, it also discusses his attraction to the early sound film and the music inspired by such stars as Lilian Harvey, Marlene Dietrich and Charlie Chaplin in the 1930s. Koechlin's career provides a fascinating study of the triumph of integrity and independence over almost overwhelming odds, and is rich and varied output offers a veritable treasure-trove for performers, scholars and enthusiasts alike.
Download or read book Samuel Barber written by Howard Pollack and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pivotal twentieth-century composer, Samuel Barber earned a long list of honors and accolades that included two Pulitzer Prizes for Music and the public support of conductors like Arturo Toscanini, Serge Koussevitzky, and Leonard Bernstein. Barber’s works have since become standard concert repertoire and continue to flourish across high art and popular culture. Acclaimed biographer Howard Pollack (Aaron Copland, George Gershwin) offers a multifaceted account of Barber’s life and music while placing the artist in his social and cultural milieu. Born into a musical family, Barber pursued his artistic ambitions from childhood. Pollack follows Barber’s path from his precocious youth through a career where, from the start, the composer consistently received prizes, fellowships, and other recognition. Stylistic analyses of works like the Adagio for Strings, the Violin Concerto, Knoxville: Summer of 1915 for voice and orchestra, the Piano Concerto, and the operas Vanessa and Antony and Cleopatra, stand alongside revealing accounts of the music’s commissioning, performance, reception, and legacy. Throughout, Pollack weaves in accounts of Barber’s encounters with colleagues like Aaron Copland and Francis Poulenc, performers from Eleanor Steber and Leontyne Price to Vladimir Horowitz and Van Cliburn, patrons, admirers, and a wide circle of eminent friends and acquaintances. He also provides an eloquent portrait of the composer’s decades-long relationship with the renowned opera composer Gian Carlo Menotti. Informed by new interviews and immense archival research, Samuel Barber is a long-awaited critical and personal biography of a monumental figure in twentieth-century American music.

The composers work in a variety of genres including classical, jazz, multimedia, or collaborative forms for the stage, film, and video games. Their interviews illuminate questions about the status of women composers in America, the role of women in musical performance and education, the creative process and inspiration, the experiences and qualities that contemporary composers bring to their craft, and balancing creative and personal lives.
