Jury chairman William Bolcom, also a well-known composer, said, "There are a slew of awards for young composers. There aren't nearly enough for composers who have gained a solid reputation, who are in mid-career and sorely in need of more time to compose ... For someone like George Tsontakis, the Charles Ives Living affords precious and well-deserved time to create." Composers that won the Ives living previously are Stephen Hartke (2004), Chen Yi (2001) and Martin Bresnick (1998).

B BOLCOM, WILLIAM BIOGRAPHY (b 1938 ) The composer/pianist William Bolcom was born in Seattle, Washington, in 1938. He began private composition studies at age 11 with John Verrall and piano lessons with Berthe Poncy Jacobson at the University of Washington. During this time he performed extensively in the Northwest and Seattle areas. After he earned his B.A. from Washington University in 1958, he studied with Darius Milhaud at Mills College in California, and with Milhaud and Messiaen at the Paris Conservatoire de Musique in France. He returned to America to hold various university teaching positions and to develop his own interpretation of ragtime. He joined the teaching staff of the University of Michigan in 1973. After earlier use of serialism, he developed his own particular musical idiom, influenced in good part by his interest in and performance of popular music-hall and parlour songs. His work is summarised in his monumental setting of William Blake's Songs of Innocence and of Experience , written between 1956 and 1981.

James Wierzbicki / writings William Bolcom interview with the composer re: "Symphony No. 4 (The Rose)" interview with the composer re: "Songs of Innocence and Experience" review of "Songs of Innocence and Experience" review of "McTeague" interview with the composer re: "Symphony No. 4 (The Rose)" MOST COMPOSERS who write pieces involving poetry hope that audiences will familiarize themselves with the text before hearing the music. In the case of William Bolcom, whose Symphony No. 4 will be premiered in Powell Hall next weekend by conductor Leonard Slatkin and the St. Louis Symphony, the hope is especially intense. Not that it's necessary to know the poem ahead of time in order to understand it. On the contrary, it's a long but verbally simple poem, and Bolcom has deliberately set it in a way that promises to make its content intelligible to any listener on first hearing. And just in case his mostly syllabic treatments of the words and their generally transparent accompaniments aren't enough to make things perfectly clear, he suggests that the mezzo-soprano soloist be amplified so that she can pay particular attention to matters of diction and nuance. Homework is not required. Nevertheless, Bolcom says, an advance reading of the text - even if it takes place moments before the performance - would give audience members an enormous advantage in appreciating what the entire symphony is about.
