Society of Composers, Incorporated SOCIETY OF COMPOSERS, INCORPORATED TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE MARCH 11-14, 1992 THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA SCHOOL OF MUSIC TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA ' I ___ _ _______,j In Memory Of The University of Alabama School of Music respectfully dedicates their sponsorship of The Twenty-sixth Annual Conference of The Society of Composers, Inc. to the memory of David Cohen (1927-1991). David Cohen was born in Pulaski, Tennessee on October 14, 1927. He showed an early interest in music and pursued that interest, first at George Peabody College, then with Vincent Persichetti at the Philadelphia Conservatory and the Juilliard School. He spent 1953 and 1954 at the Paris Conservatory on a Fulbright grant, where he studied with Milhaud and Mme. Ple-Caussade. He completed his formal edllcation at the University of Southern California where he studied DAVID COHEN with Ingolf Dahl and earned his llJ27-llJlJI D.M.A. degree. Dr. Cohen taught theory and composition at the University of Alabama from 1955-1967. In addition to teaching and composing, he contributed to the organization of orchestral and chamber music conferences for the Southeastern composer's League and, to the delight of faculty and students, helped organize and produce satirical Christmas convocations and Faculty Frolics. He hosted "Capstone concerts," an early multi-media public television show on the arts and started an electronic studio. In 1967, Cohen joined the faculty of Arizona State University, where he taught for twenty years. He developed an electronic studio there and did extensive work with computers in music. His compositions include music for orchestra, band, chamber groups, voice and chorus, and computer and synthesizer. He wrote several scores for theatre; a children's opera, "Beauty is Fled;" and "Aucassin and Nicolette," a "chant-fable." Other notable compositional efforts produced music for Ionescu's "Rhinoceros" and a theatre piece for "reciter, percussion, clarinet, and illuminated glass object [a dodecahedron]," commissioned for Phil Rehfeldt and Barney Childs. His flute quartet, which will be performed at this conference, won the Los Angeles Flute Club Publication Award in 1964. David Cohen was a founding member of The American Society of University Composers (now Society for Composers, Inc.) and attended every annual conference except the 1988 conference, when he was in Paris. He served as regional chairman and as a member of the national council. THE SOCIETY OF COMPOSERS, INC. P.O.

To have our conference in the marvelous atmosphere of the "deep south" is indeed special and should make our next several days together an extraordinary occasion.

So, I believe we have been able to join together to make a difference, and I think we can continue to look forward to a good, strong future as a society. So please have an enjoyable conference! I'll look forward to greeting as many of you personally as I can in the next several days to get a sense of how things are going for you and how you are feeling about the activities of the society.

  • Composing Freedom: Elliott Carter's 'Self-Reinvention' and the Early
    Composing Freedom: Elliott Carter’s ‘Self-Reinvention’ and the Early Cold War Daniel Guberman A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved By, Brigid Cohen, chair Allen Anderson Annegret Fauser Mark Katz Severine Neff © 2012 Daniel Guberman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT DANIEL GUBERMAN: Composing Freedom: Elliott Carter’s ‘Self-Reinvention’ and the Early Cold War (Under the direction of Brigid Cohen) In this dissertation I examine Elliott Carter’s development from the end of the Second World War through the 1960s arguing that he carefully constructed his postwar compositional identity for Cold War audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. The majority of studies of Carter’s music have focused on technical aspects of his methods, or roots of his thoughts in earlier philosophies. Making use of published writings, correspondence, recordings of lectures, compositional sketches, and a drafts of writings, this is one of the first studies to examine Carter’s music from the perspective of the contemporary cultural and political environment. In this Cold War environment Carter emerged as one of the most prominent composers in the United States and Europe. I argue that Carter’s success lay in part due to his extraordinary acumen for developing a public persona. And his presentation of his works resonated with the times, appealing simultaneously to concert audiences, government and private foundation agents, and music professionals including impresarios, performers and other composers.
