COMPOSERS
DENNIS RILEY
Mr. Riley was born in Los Angeles and grew up in Lakewood, Colo. He received a master's degree in composition from the University of Illinois and a doctorate, also in composition, from the University of Iowa. Among his teachers were George Crumb and Ben Johnston.
He began his career as a teacher, notably at California State University in Fresno and Columbia University in New York. But during the mid-1980's, Mr. Riley was among the first group of composers to master and advocate the use of personal computer programs for the notation of music, and from that time on he earned his living primarily by preparing computer engravings of scores for other composers.
Mr. Riley's earlier works were written in a rhythmically intricate and texturally lucid post-Webern style. In later years, his music, though not appreciably tonal, became more romantic in character. His composed two one-act operas: ''Rappaccini's Daughter,'' completed in 1984, a work drawn from Hawthorne that has yet to be produced; and ''Cats' Concert,'' composed in 1983, a work for children. His catalog of chamber works is strikingly varied.
HUGH AITKEN
Although he had been composing since early high school, Hugh Aitken studied chemistry for two years at New York University, not being sure that his career would be in music. He volunteered for the Army Air Corps in 1943. After the war he entered The Juilliard School of Music, studying composition with Bernard Wagenaar, Vincent Persichetti and Robert Ward, graduating in 1950.
Greenwood Press has published Aitken's The Piece As A Whole, a book exploring the relationships between music's technical procedures and it's expressive character.
He taught for twenty years at Juilliard, where he first met Gerard Schwarz, who at the time, was a trumpet major. Their first collaboration was a quintet for trumpet and string quartet which Schwarz played several times with the Concord String Quartet and other quartets. Besides the works on this disc, Schwarz has conducted Aitken's first Violin Concerto, also with Elmar Oliveira as soloist, and most recently, the premiere performances of his Symphony (1998). The composer lives in Oakland, New Jersey with his wife Laura Isabel Tapia, who wrote the libretto for his opera Felipe.
DAVID EVAN THOMAS
The music of David Evan Thomas has been praised for its eloquence, power and craft. Critics have noted Thomas's loving ties to tradition, made evident in clear forms, smart instrumental writing and skillful orchestration. Audiences have responded to the music's warmth, lyricism and sense of play.
Thomas's teachers have included composers Dominick Argento, Samuel Adler, Robert Morris and Alan Stout, and trumpeter Vincent Cichowicz. He received further training at the Aspen Festival and at the Atlantic Center for the Arts (as an Associate of David Diamond). A perpetual keyboard student, he has followed early instruction from Jared Bogardus and Emily Vanderpoole with adult studies with Irina Elkina and (currently) Stephanie Wendt.
Thomas is the recipient of a Citation from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a McKnight Foundation fellowship, the Möller-A.G.O. Award in Choral Composition, and High Honors from Waging Peace Through Singing. He has received commissions from the Minnesota Orchestra, the Jerome Foundation, The Schubert Club, the American Composers Forum, and the American Guild of Organists. Three times in recent years he has been a resident artist at Wyoming's Ucross Foundation.
David Evan Thomas's varied catalogue includes music for orchestra and wind ensemble, two dozen chamber works, keyboard pieces large and small, and an opera. Vocal music is particularly prominent, with eleven song cycles-on subjects ranging from medieval women troubadours to the baseball writings of Donald Hall-and over thirty choral works. His friendship with organists James and Marilyn Biery has resulted in concert music for organ solo and duet (available through MorningStar) and three volumes of service music (available through Augsburg Fortress). Thomas's music is also published by ECS, Falls House, Fatrock Ink, Jeanné and Yelton-Rhodes, and recorded on CRI and Ten Thousand Lakes. Thomas's music been performed by the Minnesota Orchestra, Westminster Cathedral Choir of London, the trio of Gil Shaham, Truls Mørk and Yefim Bronfman, The Rose Ensemble, the Minneapolis and Rosalyra String Quartets, and many beloved solo performers, including Awet Andemicael, Karen Clift, Carol Eikum, Margo Garrett, Maria Jette, Vern Sutton, Sonja Thompson, Shannon Wettstein and Burt Hara.
STANLEY WOLFE
Stanley Wolfe, who since 1963 has been the director of the extension division of the famed Juilliard School in Manhattan. Mr. Wolfe teaches courses on composition, music theory and contemporary music, and has himself been a composer for more than 30 years.
All six of Mr. Wolfe's symphonies have been performed, one of them as many as 15 times. Yet it has been a low-profile compositional career - the major American orchestras have not played the work of this highly respected teacher, whose students have included Philip Glass, Steve Reich and Marvin Hamlisch. ~~~~~~~~~~~
