The Last Word Is
Edgard Varèse was one of the singular musical innovators of the 20th century. Central to his thinking was an informed yet uniquely imaginative position regarding metaphoric “space.” Through contacts with science, he developed an idiosyncratic vocabulary involving “rotating planes,” “beams,” “projection” and “penetration.” His outlook was both conceptually and musically (especially in Intégrales) manifested. The first part of a two-part article, “…
Considering the Roots of Justice
‘Considering the Roots of JUSTICE’ traces the derivation and use of a composer-assembled text that draws from two tragedies by Euripides and one by Aeschylus. Attention is paid to how JUSTICE presents text in relation to the assigned emotional character of its sections. The preparatory stages in the realization of vocal lines are described. The protagonist of JUSTUCE, a 50-minute theatrical composition, is Clytemnestra. She is represented collabo…
Thoughts on Enabling Creative Capacity
Three ways in which composition students can be nourished with the goal of individualized growth are considered: master classes, sustained mentoring, and context building. Strategies are discussed for insuring that master-class encounters are significant, though momentary.

A perspective on form and experience
“A Perspective on Form and Experience” is an introspective effort by a practicing composer regarding both what it means to be a composer and how the formal design of contemporary musical works can reflect more meaningfully the daily lives of contemporary individuals. Beginning with two perspectives, the composer as performer and the contrasting behaviors of the “maker” and the “searcher” (terms defined in the article), the paper goes on to explor…
Conlon Nancarrow
The unique efforts of Conlon Nancarrow over the past forty years have resulted in a series of compositions for player pianos that have astonished and intrigued those who encountered them. Modestly entitled Studies, these works now number in the forties and continue to enter new musical terrain. Largely because of their striking rhythmic vitality-several very clearly defined musical lines moving with inexorable independence-they make an entirely n…
