10. George Crumb of his musical style with a list of his most important works....... http://www.wwnorton.com/classical/composers/crumb.htm

GEORGE CRUMB Born: October 24, 1929, Charleston, West Virginia In his own words... "In Ancient Voices of Children, as in earlier Lorca settings, I have sought musical images that enhance and reinforce the powerful yet strangely haunting imagery of Lorca's poetry. I feel that the essential meaning of this poetry is concerned with the most primary things; Life death, love, the smell of the earth, the sounds of the wind and the sea. These ur-concepts are embodied in a language which is primitive and stark, but which is capable of infinitely subtle nuance." 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.

15. 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

aco homepage concert schedule what 3 emerging composers have to say Those Were The Days. Or Were They? Three Living Legends of Contemporary Music Compare Yesterday and Today 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 Makrokosmos Vol. II Columbia. Robert Miller, piano. I love Miller's performance of these crazy piano works. He is extremely animated and theatrical amidst the formidable obstacle course that the performer faces in this work. He is called to strum the strings inside the piano, scream, whoop and holler, preparing the strings, etc. In the 4th cut on side 1, the performer is instructed: "serene, desireless, like a Nirvana-trance!" O.K. Miller makes it work. it's really fantastic. I have become quite attached to these performances to the exclusion of all others. (LP) home

He received his D.M.A. at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he studied composition with Ross Lee Finney. Crumb has received numerous awards, honors and commissions (Pulitzer Prize 1968; International Rostrum of Composers (UNESCO) Award 1971; Fromm, Guggenheim, Koussevitzky and Rockefeller Foundations) and is a member of the National Institute of Arts and Letters. Presently he is composer in residence at the University of Pennsylvania. Audience enthusiasm, critical acclaim and colleagues' praise have been extensive for Crumb's mature works (dating from approximately 1962). Among those qualities that are most frequently cited are the following: an extraordinarily sensitive ear resulting in highly refined timbral nuances; a very powerful evocative sense and a sureness and concision in realizing his musical intentions. All of these interact structurally to form a body of music which is moving and convincing.
