Extractions: In his own words... American composer and teacher. Crumb has developed a style that uses new techniques in a dramatic, narrative manner. George Crumb's career is rather typical for American composers in the second half of the twentieth century. His training was largely in American universities (he received his Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Michigan). In turn, he has spent the majority of his career teaching composition at various universities. He is now Professor Emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania, where he began teaching in 1965. He has received a number of awards (including a Pulitzer Prize in 1968 for his Echoes of Time and the River ), as well as numerous honorary degrees.

http://www.emory.edu/MUSIC/ARNOLD/crumb_content.html

Extractions: American composer who studied with Ross Lee Finney and Boris Blacher; won Pulitzer Prize in 1968. Since 1965 has served on the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania. Slonimsky writes: "In his music he preserves the external formalities of traditional music, suggesting Baroque procedures, but he makes revolutionary changes in his technical resources, demanding from the performers an exceptional precision and subtlety of interpretation, exploiting the extreme instrumental registers and making use of outlandish effects in the vocal part, including tongue clicks, explosive shrieks, hissing and whispering, as well as singing fractional intervals. . . . His musical notation often emulated the symbolic designs affected by some composers of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance; particularly intriguing is his use of circular or spiral staves for recurring motives, as exemplified in Makrokosmos and Star-Child." Often uses quotes from earlier composers (Schubert, Bach, Chopin). String Quartet (1954) Variazioni for orchestra (1959) Night Music I for soprano, piano, and percussion (1963)

http://www.badmusic.org/i/george-crumb.html

Extractions: It wasn't until I was finishing this site that I discovered the effect that my relationship with George Crumb's music had on me. It had been years since I had spent much time listening to his music, so it was quite a shock to see some of the methods I learned from him nearly 20 years ago suddenly start reappearing in things I was working on. The whirlpool image appears a few times in these pages. It never dawned on me that the picture of a Crumb score I found somewhere on the web was itself a whirlpool until I had been using it for weeks. George Crumb was the first composer who had a strong influence me during my teenage years, when music was just about the only thing I thought about. I discovered him when I was about 14 years old, while reading a Newsweek article about the debut of one of his works by the New York Philharmonic . The article had a picture a portion of the score. The score ordered the string section to sit at the back of the stage, and play the same 30 or 40 bars of music continuously throughout the piece. To demonstrate the continuum effect he wanted, Mr. Crumb actually drew the music score in a large circle. When a player began playing the piece, the music just went on and on. I thought this was so amazing, that I grabbed a protractor and drew my own circular music paper so I could try it myself. Mr. Crumb's music also helped me learn non-linear ways of thinking that are a great boon to doing work on the Web. During a performance, different players might be simultaneously playing music from scores in all kinds of different shapes, with many different tempi and meters. He orchestrates using instruments from all over the world, and he asks performers play these instruments in some very strange ways. Sometimes they don't play their instruments at all, but moan and chant while a piano pedal stays open to catch the overtones. There might be strange lighting for the stage. The players might have to wear black clothes and put on ancient masks. When it all comes together, it's some of the most beautiful music I know.

Interivew With Georg Perle, George Crumb & David Diamond
Three living legends of contemporary music compare the evolution of musical styles during their lifetime.
http://www.americancomposers.org/millen1.htm

Extractions: aco homepage concert schedule what 3 emerging composers have to say By Mic Holwin "Writing seems to be more difficult as you move through the years," says composer George Crumb when asked about how the composition process has changed for him over his 68-year lifetime. "It never gets easier. When I was younger, I used to think 'Oh gee, in 20 years, it will all be so easy.' But it's not that way if you're not willing to repeat yourself." Not repeating yourself in half a century is a formidable task for anyone, let alone one of 20th-century music's preeminent composers, whose output can be scrutinized by millions of people. Only a handful of composers living today can claim to have grappled with this problem throughout a good part of the past century. George Crumb and with him David Diamond and George Perle have observed the comings and goings (and returns) of serialism, neo-romanticism, minimalism and structuralism. Poised on the edge of the 21st century, these respected 20th-century composers have been first-hand witnesses to the process of composing, from the writing of a piece to its final performance, over years of history that span from Prohibition to the Gulf War. 83-year-old George Perle, author of the standard work on the music of Schoenberg, Berg and Webern, Serial Composition and Atonality (now in its sixth edition), was one of the first American composers to be profoundly influenced by Schoenberg's radical new 12-tone technique in the early years of this century. Perle says the act of composing hasn't changed a bit for him since then. It still only involves "a blank sheet of paper and trying to write something you believe in."

GEORGE CRUMB - 1929 U.S.A. - ECHOS FROM THE UNIVERSE
An essay on george crumb's life and music, titled Echos (sic) from the Universe , from a music festival program.
http://www.gaudeamus.nl/oud/biobak/c/crumbg.htm

Extractions: In the 1940s Crumb began his studies (aiming at an academic degree). Piano playing and composition were his primary objects of interest. After having finished Charleston High School, he studied three years in the Mason College reaching the degree of Bachelor of Music in 1950. He continued his studies in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois and after having reached the degree of Master of Music he continued his studies in Ann Harbor, Michigan. In Ann Harbor his teacher was Ross Lee Finney, whose contribution to the development of Crumbs techniques of composition and his unique notation was of great importance. During that time Crumb also fell for the poetry of Federico Carcia Lorca once and for all. Around the mid-50s Crumb attended courses arranged by Boris Blecher in Tanglevood and after having won the Fullbright-scholarship he followed Blecher to Europe. This was Crumbs first access to the European musical life and to the environment of the greatest models on his youth. Crumb divides his work retrospectively into three categories. The first category includes some 50 works of composition representing the days of his youth. For the period of his studies (1949-1959) Crumb lists some ten compositions. This period can be considered ended by Crumbs composition Variazioni for orchestra, which, however, is a borderline case, as in addition to the influence of Sch"nberg, Berg and especially Bartok, some features of his individual style can already be seen in this work of composition. The turn of the 50s was of crucial importance in the musical development of Crumb. -Crumb was finding his individual tone language and as he had just reached the degree of Doctor of Music (1959), he was about to begin his career as music teacher.
