Yet her equally wide influence on the world of music was largely unrecognized until 1992, when the late Carlton Lowenberg published his groundbreaking study Musicians Wrestle Everywhere: Emily Dickinson and Music (Fallen Leaf Press), an examination of Dickinson's involvement in the music of her time, and a "detailed inventory" of 1,615 musical settings of her poems. The result is a survey of an important segment of twentieth-century music. In the years since Lowenberg's inventory appeared, the number of Dickinson settings is estimated to have more than doubled, and a large number of them have been performed and recorded. One critic has described Dickinson as "the darling of modern composers."1 The intriguing question of why this should be so has been answered in many ways by composers and others.

  • For the Love of Sopranos: the Lives and Songs Of
    FOR THE LOVE OF SOPRANOS: THE LIVES AND SONGS OF ERNST BACON, OTTO LUENING AND JACK BEESON April 24, 2003 Copyright © 2003 All rights reserved ABSTRACT Ernst Bacon (1989–1990), Otto Luening (1900–1996) and Jack Beeson (b. 1921) form a musical lineage, although one more of friendship and mutual support than stylistic similarities. Bacon and Luening, born at the very end of the 19th century, maintained a close, supportive relationship throughout their adult lives, though often separated by the span of the continental United States. Beeson, who came along more than 20 years later and was part of the next generation of composers, was Luening’s friend and professional associate for more than 50 years. All have made major contributions, both musically and professionally, in defining, creating, and promoting a truly American musical idiom. All three composers believe in the primacy of song as musical expression, and made song- writing a major focus of their creative efforts. The three composers’ musical styles are quite disparate, although all demonstrate an exquisite talent for wedding poetry and music in a way that draws out the full expressive content of both. The early stylistic influences on Bacon and Luening’s vocal writing were largely the romantic German Lieder, while Beeson’s earliest musical influence came via the Metropolitan Opera Saturday afternoon radio broadcasts. Bacon and Luening’s vocal music is largely songs, with only limited excursions into opera, while the majority of Beeson’s vocal output is operatic. The mature songs of Bacon and Luening are exclusively settings of English 1 2 words.

When confronted with a steep hill on a typical drive through San Francisco, Cowell’s Model T sometimes could not make the grade. So he’d simply turn the car around, put it in its trusty reverse gear, and slowly back up the hill instead. Far be it from Henry Cowell to be inhibited by convention. It’s a distinct pleasure to welcome you to our mini-celebration of the life and music of Henry Cowell, surveying a selection of his lesser-known music. You will be hearing the first-ever presentation of his complete works for organ performed by Sandra Soderlund, rare performances of his “United” Quartet (No. 4) and String Quartet No. 5, played by the Colorado Quartet, a group of his songs performed by Cowell specialists Wendy Hillhouse and Jodi Gandolfi, the violin sonata he composed for Joseph Szigeti, played by David Abel and Julie Steinberg, and Set of Five for violin, piano and percussion, written for Anahid and Maro Ajemian and played here by the Abel-Steinberg-Winant Trio.
