    The Proms Listening Service Radio 3’S Tom Service Proposes Onward Sonic Explorations Inspired by the Music of Tonight’S Prom

    The Proms Listening Service Radio 3’s Tom Service proposes onward sonic explorations inspired by the music of tonight’s Prom BACH a kaleidoscope of new forms, groups and layers. In his Indian Brandenburg Concertos summer – composing throughout his eighties and nineties until his death at the age of 103 – Carter continued to revisit and reshape Bach’s Brandenburgs are a set of wildly innovative and dizzyingly the concerto principle, from Dialogues I and II for piano and diverse answers to the question of how musical individuals relate orchestra and his Clarinet Concerto to works that take the to larger groups. Bach doesn’t come up with anything so Brandenburg principle of a group of instruments as an ensemble of straightforward as the concerto form as it became ossified in potential soloists into the present day. That’s the effervescent energy the 19th century, in which a single soloist is set against the that drives Carter’s Boston Concerto, written for the Boston massed ranks of the orchestra. Instead, each Brandenburg Symphony Orchestra in 2002, and the Asko Concerto, composed in Concerto proposes a much more fluid solution to the question 1999–2000 for the eponymous Dutch new music group. It’s not of how a solo part or multiple solo parts weave in and out of only the example of Bach that tonight’s composers are up against: the texture of the instrumental ensemble as a whole. It’s all there are the achievements of Musgrave and Carter to contend with done with such seamless invention that it’s like looking at an too! ever-active shoal of fish in the ocean, where your attention is sometimes drawn to the dazzle and glint of individuals but then flows out to the group as a whole, in and out again, in a dance of different relationships between the players and a dance of listening on which Bach leads us in each of these concertos.

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.

MULTI-LAYERED CONSTRUCTION OF ELLIOTT CARTER’S VIOLIN CONCERTO, FIRST MOVEMENT, AND IMMERSED IN AN ETHEREAL BLUE LIGHT FOR CHAMBER ENSEMBLE Jonghee Kang, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2015 ! ! Most analytical studies of Elliott Carter’s music focus on how Carter utilizes his system of harmony, pitch material, or polyrhythmic stratification. This study, however, explores the structure of Carter’s Violin Concerto from a different analytic angle. Violin Concerto constitutes a new structural model for the traditional concerto genre based on its multi-layered construction. The background structure of Violin Concerto is derived from pre-compositional planning, utilizing tempo modulation and three-way stratification based on a long-range polyrhythm. The phrase structure of the concerto divides the first movement into seven sections, while the movement’s rhythmic activity largely shows a four-part structure.

    Form and Dialectical Opposition in Elliott Carter's Compositional

    Form and Dialectical Opposition in Elliott Carter’s Compositional Aesthetic Marguerite Boland A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University. 2017 © Copyright by Marguerite Maree Boland 2017 ii Declaration of Authorship I, Marguerite Maree Boland, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ________________________ Date: ________________________ iii For my daughter Alice Louisa Claire v Acknowledgements The writing of this dissertation has been a ten-year journey: a journey of research scholarship and a journey of ever-expanding appreciation of the music of Elliott Carter, for certain. But the writing of this dissertation has also accompanied me during numerous very significant personal journeys: a journey into motherhood, a journey of relationship transformations, a journey into deeper awareness of the social disconnect between the life of work and the work of raising our next generation, and the gender inequality that is often a part of that disconnect. On some level these personal travels have been woven into the fabric of my writing along side my academic reading, listening and discussions with colleagues. The reverse is also true: the research I have undertaken during the last decade has given me tools to understand not only my academic adventures but also my personal ones. This project is incomplete but it cannot be otherwise; there is so much to explore in Carter’s music and there is so much that life demands of an individual that to attempt to neatly close off or constrain one for the sake of the other becomes an unsustainable conceit.
