Extractions: Thea Musgrave It is a measure of her talent and determination that Thea Musgrave achieved great respect for her work both as a composer and conductor at a time when it was still a rather uncommon profession for a woman. The joint commission of Harriet, the Woman called Moses (1985) by the Royal Opera House and Virginia Opera Association and, most recently, by the Los Angeles Music Center Opera and Scottish Opera can be seen as confirmation of a widespread recognition. Born in Scotland on 27 May 1928, she studied first at the University of Edinburgh and later at the Conservatoire in Paris, where she spent four years as a pupil of Nadia Boulanger. In 1970 she became Guest Professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, a position which confirmed her increasing involvement with the musical life of the United States, where she has resided since 1972. In 1974 she received the Koussevitzky Award, resulting in the composition of Space Play , and she has also been awarded two Guggenheim Fellowships, in 1974-75, and again in 1982-83. In June 1995 Musgrave received a conferment of Honorary Degree of Doctor of Music from Glasgow University and earlier in 1979 one from Smith College in the United States.

Extractions: HOME COMPOSERS Thea Musgrave b. It is a measure of her talent and determination that Thea Musgrave achieved great respect for her work both as a composer and conductor at a time when it was still a rather uncommon profession for a woman. The joint commission of Harriet, the Woman called Moses (1985) by the Royal Opera House and Virginia Opera Association and, most recently, Simón Bolívar by the Los Angeles Music Center Opera and Scottish Opera can be seen as confirmation of a widespread recognition. Born in Scotland on 27 May 1928, she studied first at the University of Edinburgh and later at the Conservatoire in Paris, where she spent four years as a pupil of Nadia Boulanger. In 1970 she became Guest Professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, a position which confirmed her increasing involvement with the musical life of the United States, where she has resided since 1972. In 1974 she received the Koussevitzky Award, resulting in the composition of Space Play, and she has also been awarded two Guggenheim Fellowships, in 1974-5, and again in 1982-3. In June 1995 Musgrave received a conferment of Honorary Degree of Doctor of Music from Glasgow University. Musgrave has always been eager to extend the apparent conventional boundaries of music and has consistently explored new means of projecting and maintaining essentially dramatic situations in music. As she once put it, she wanted to 'explore dramatic-abstract musical forms: that is, dramatic in the sense of presentation, but at the same time abstract because there is no programmatic content a kind of extension of the concerto principle'. She has always been keenly aware of spatial acoustic possibilities: in the Clarinet Concerto the soloist moves around the different sections of the orchestra and in the Horn Concerto the orchestral horns are stationed around the concert hall. Thus the players are not merely an apparatus for the projection of the music, but are also its dramatis personae.

OPERA America's Encore Magazine Includes Information About Northb American Works. Composer thea musgrave. Libretto thea musgrave, Spanish version by Lillian GarrettGroag
http://www.operaam.org/encore/bolivar.htm

Extractions: Composer: Thea Musgrave Libretto: Thea Musgrave, Spanish version by Lillian Garrett-Groag Description: Two acts, 14 scenes; set in the early part of the 19th century in South America Premiere: Virginia Opera, January 20, 1995; commissioned jointly by L.A. Opera and Scottish Opera Publisher: G. Schirmer, Inc.; phone: 845-469-2711; fax: 845-469-7544; web page: www.schirmer.com Length: Full evening Musical Forces: Two flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 French horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, 2 percussion, harp, pianoforte, synthesizer, strings; soprano, mezzo-soprano, 2 tenors, 3 baritones, 2 basses, treble; chorus Musical Style: Use of Spanish song and dances and traditional South American melodies Synopsis: The first act moves through a series of short, connected scenes which culminate in the liberation of South America from Spanish rule. In the second act, the dream of Bolívar begins to disintegrate, as his idealistic union of states fails to hold together; Bolívar is seen as an exile, dying in poverty, seemingly forgotten. A coda telescopes the action into the twentieth century, where a revolution scene is taking place. The voice of Bolívar is heard, singing Bolívar's own words, invoking the ideal of freedom and the heavy demands it places on those who seek it.

The Story Of Harriet Tubman By Thea Musgrave
Review by Jeanne Shaffer of 1993 performance by the Mobile (Alabama) Opera written for the International Alliance for Women in Music.
http://music.acu.edu/www/iawm/articles/feb93/shaffer.html

Extractions: The set was designed to make touring to Selma, Birmingham, Pensacola, Monroeville and Montgomery as simple as possible. A raked stage, having set pieces attached by hinges, allowed smooth scene changes. The chorus of nine sat on wooden benches just off- stage right and left, and handed props to singers as needed. The tour closed with three performances in Mobile.
Thea Musgrave (1928 - ) By Francis Routh

Extractions: Francis Routh1972/1998 It is an accepted datum, avant-garde experiment. That remarkable teacher, whose pupils include most of the best-known American and European composers and musicians, did not indulge in such things; she was concerned with traditions, with technique, with attention to detail; also, perhaps justifiably, with the most distinguished horse from her stable, Stravinsky, who had not yet defected to the serial ranks. It was a period for Musgrave of artistic awakening. In her search for a style that would fully suit her idiom, Thea Musgrave tended to 'let it happen'. The means adopted are, after all, of less importance than the end towards which they are directed; the finished art-work is what matters. Nevertheless, one is not possible without the other, and her style resulted from various and continuing influences. Her early works were tonal, and mainly vocal; songs such as the Five Songs for baritone, which occupied six months of her student years; the

Extractions: Scottish-American Composer Thea Musgrave (1928- ) Contemporary composer Thea Musgrave is a hybrid of sorts. Her work not only reflects the influences of her European birth and training, but also some distinctly American elements arising from her long sojourn in the United States. Born in Scotland, Thea entered the University of Edinburgh to study medicine, but changed her plans and graduated with a degree in music in 1950. At Edinburgh, she won the school's Donald Francisco Tovey Prize, an annual award given to the student showing the greatest promise in composition or in instrumental performance. On scholarship, she traveled to Paris to study with the famed Nadia Boulanger who taught many of the 20th century's renowned composers. Under Nadia, Thea distinguished herself as well. She won the Lili Boulanger Memorial Prize, an award that recognizes "composers of exceptional talent and integrity." A guest professorship at the University of California, Santa Barbara, brought Thea to the United States in 1970, and in 1972, she settled permanently in the country. Critics describe Thea's compositions as both musical and dramatic, saying that the instruments' roles are often as important as their notes.
