Product Description
President of The Juilliard School and then Lincoln Center from 1945 to 1968, Schuman (1910-1992) was an artistic catalyst who was instrumental in shaping how America perceived and supported music, dance and drama in the second half of the twentieth centry. His influence as an administrator, educator and composer made him known during this period as the most powerful person in the arts in the United States. Complex, driven, and filled with a confident optimism that characterized America of the time, he thought of himself as part of many different worlds. Those worlds included his life as a composer of more than one hundred works in chamber, orchestral, operatic, and choral settings. His music has been characterized as full of American directness in its vibrant rhythms and brilliant orchestrations. This first-ever complete biography of Schuman will bring the many threads of his life together within the context of the personalities and events that shaped how we experience the arts in America in the twenty-first century. ...

Product Description
The musical landscape of New York City and the United States of America would look quite different had it not been for William Schuman. Orpheus in Manhattan, a fully objective and comprehensive biography of Schuman, portrays a man who had a profound influence upon the artistic and political institutions of his day and beyond. Steve Swayne draws heavily upon Schuman's letters, writings, and manuscripts as well as unprecedented access to archival recordings and previously unknown correspondence. The winner of the first Pulitzer Prize in Music, Schuman composed music that is rhythmically febrile, harmonically pungent, melodically long-breathed, and timbrally brilliant, and Swayne offers an astute analysis of his work, including many unpublished music scores. Swayne also describes Schuman's role as president of the Juilliard School of Music and of Lincoln Center, tracing how he both expanded the boundaries of music education and championed the performing arts. Filled with new discoveries and revisions of the received historical narrative, Orpheus in Manhattan confirms Schuman as a major figure in America's musical life. ... Read more

Product Description
William Howard Schuman, a celebrated figure in 20th-century music, was a composer and a copious writer on music and music education. Early on, as a composer, he received the attention of several musicians and writers such as Nathan Broder, Elliott Carter and Leonard Bernstein. He was the recipient of numerous prestigious awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the New York Music Critics Circle Award. After teaching at Sarah Lawrence College from 1935 to 1945 and serving as president of the Juilliard School from 1945 to 1962, Schuman assumed the presidency of Lincoln Center, where he successfully implemented that institution's artisic programs. Schuman, who composed in several genres, is perhaps best known for his orchestral compositions and choral music. This reference work provides a biography and a thorough catalog and guide to Schuman's writings and compositions and to the current research available on this gifted and multi-talented musician. ...

Product Description
William Schuman, Vincent Persichetti, and Peter Mennin were three of the most significant American composers of the 20th century; yet their music has largely disappeared from view since their respective deaths. Their music is often viewed as interchangeable, partly because they spent the majority of their careers working at the Juilliard School and Lincoln Center. The purpose of this book is to provide a thorough examination of their lives and work, and thereby clarify their considerable individuality, both as composers and as human beings. ... Read more

Mai 2003 in Rom) war ein italienischer Komponist, bekannt für seine experimentellen Arbeiten und einer der Pioniere der elektronischen Musik. Berio wurde in einer musikalischen Familie in der ligurischen Küstenstadt Oneglia geboren. Sowohl sein Vater als auch sein Großvater waren beide Organisten und lehrten ihn das Klavierspiel. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde er zur Armee eingezogen, verletzte sich aber bereits am ersten Tag mit einem Gewehr die Hand. Er verbrachte einige Zeit in einem Militärkrankenhaus und floh schließlich, um sich einer Widerstandsgruppe anzuschließen. Nach dem Krieg studierte Berio am Mailänder Konservatorium bei Giulio Cesare Paribeni und Giorgio Federico Ghedini. Durch die verletzte Hand am Klavierspiel gehindert, konzentrierte er sich auf die Komposition. 1947 fand die erste öffentliche Aufführung eines seiner Werke statt, einer Suite für Klavier. Zu dieser Zeit verdiente Berio seinen Lebensunterhalt mit der Begleitung von Gesangsklassen; dabei lernte er die amerikanische Sopranistin Cathy Berberian kennen. Sie heirateten kurz nach seinem Universitätsabschluss 1950 (die Ehe wurde 1964 geschieden). 1951 ging Berio in die Vereinigten Staaten, um in Tanglewood bei Luigi Dallapiccola z...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=36572 ...

Chapters: Aaron Copland, Richard Rodgers, George Balanchine, William Schuman, Alice Tully, Claire Raphael Reis, Handel Medallion Recipients. Excerpt:Aaron Copland Aaron Copland (November 14, 1900 December 2, 1990) was an American nationalist composer of concert and film music, as well as an accomplished pianist . Instrumental in forging a distinctly American style of composition, he was widely known as "the dean of American composers". Copland's music achieved a balance between modern music and American folk styles. The open, slowly changing harmonies of many of his works are said to evoke the vast American landscape. He also incorporated percussive orchestration , changing meter , polyrhythms , polychords , and tone rows in a broad range of works for concert hall, theater, ballet, and films. Aside from composing, Copland was a teacher, lecturer, critic, writer, and conductor (generally, but not always, of his own works). Biography Early life Aaron Copland School of Music, Queens College (part of the City University of New York) Aaron Copland was born in Brooklyn of Lithuanian Jewish descent, the last of five children. Before emigrating from Scotland to the United States, Copland's father, Harris Morris Copland, Anglicized his surname " Kaplan " to " Copland ". Throughout his childhood, Copland and his family lived above his parents' Brooklyn shop (a neighborhood "Macy's"), on the corner of Dean Street and Washington Avenue and all the children helped out in the store. His father was a staunch Democrat. The family members were active in Congregation Baith Israel Anshei Emes , where Aaron celebrated his Bar Mitzvah . Not especially athletic, the sensitive young man became an avid reader and often read Horatio Alger stories on his front steps. Copland's father had no musical interest at a... ... Read more
