But there are reasons far more compelling than mere longevity to regard Elliott Carter as the most eminent of living American composers, and as one of the foremost composers in the world at large. His name has come to be synonymous with music that is at once structurally formidable, expressively extraordinary, and virtuosically dazzling: music that asks much of listener and performer INTRODUCTION alike but gives far more in return. Carter was born in New York and, except during the later years of his education, has always lived there. After college and some postgraduate study at Harvard, like many an aspiring American composer of his generation who did not find the training he sought at home, Carter went off to Paris to study with Nadia Boulanger, an experience which, while enabling a necessary development of technique, also lent his work a conservative, neoclassical style for a time. -

David Patmore, B.A., M.B.A. Thesis submitted to the University of Sheffield in part fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Sheffield University Management School University of Sheffield August 2001 Acknowledgements This study would not exist without the initial suggestion of my undertaking doctoral research by Professor Geoff Stone and Professor Anne Tomes, made at the time of the completion of my MBA at the Sheffield University Management School in 1994. I am most grateful for this early support. Further valuable encouragement and advice in the formulation of the research and in the idea of undertaking research into the influence of recording was given by Professor Tomes, working closely with Professors Peter Armstrong and Peter Hill. As a musician Professor Hill gave much advice of central importance at this critical early stage, as well as ongoing support and encouragement that has been greatly appreciated. I am most grateful to the Economic and Social Research Council for generously granting a studentship to allow myself to undertake the study, and to the Sheffield University Management School and Department of Music for being at all times congenial and supportive co-hosts. In the first year of study Professors Armstrong, Hill and Tomes proved to be admirable supervisors. At the beginning of the second year personal and professional changes resulted in the supervisory team being reformed with Dr. Cathy Cassell taking the leadership reigns, and with Professor Peter Hill and Dr. -

Rersurrecton – Chamber Opera
Taverner RERSURRECTON (1987) CHAMBER OPERA IN ONE ACT WITH PROLOGUE It was in Liverpool in November 1975 that Peter Maxwell Davies (hereinafter referred to as Max) first told me of the opera, which was to be entitled Resurrection that was in his mind to write. We were in the first stages of my first Arts Council Contemporary Network Tour, as manager both of the ensemble The Fires of London (hereinafter referred to as The Fires) and as Max’s manager. I was grappling with the seemingly overwhelming amount of difficulties that were facing me. I had been thrown in the deep with a gruelling tour for which I had absolutely no experience, or, indeed, qualifications. Max told me that he had been thinking about writing this particular opera since the days when he was on a Harkness Scholarship at Princeton in the United States between 1962 and 1964. But he felt that, at that time, he didn’t have the compositional technique to undertake this project. However, his experience of writing the opera Taverner and the music-theatre works Eight Songs for a Mad King and Miss Donnithorne’s Maggot had given him more confidence. He said that Sir John Tooley, who was the General Director at Covent Garden, had been asking him to write an opera ever since 1972 and the success of Taverner, which had been staged at Covent Garden. But Max felt that he didn’t want to write an opera for that house until it revived that production of Taverner and this did not appear to be forthcoming. -
