Reviews Of Joan Tower Concertos
joan tower, composer. REVIEWS joan tower Concertos American Record Guide. One indicationis the recent release of a CD devoted to four concertos by joan tower.
http://www.dnote.com/jtreview.htm

Extractions: On the basis of her well-exposed orchestral works such as Sequoia and Silver Ladders (both products of the early 80s, she had seemed to be primarily a concocter of a species of lushly scored, hedonistically picturesque, but somewhat emotionally shallow soundscapes couched in a generically post-stravinskian, quasi-minimalist style. But these four highly concentrated one-movement concertos-written over a six-year span from 1985 and 1991-show Tower to have moved naturally into a much more structurally rigorous and texturally lean dimension-"lean and mean" might be a more apt description , as these are far from complacent works: they are tensile, pithy, full of vim and vinegar.

Extractions: This interview was done in Chicago in April of 1987. For the current Schirmer biography (and a picture) click HERE ( http://www.schirmer.com/composers/tower_bio.html ) Bruce Duffie: So, where's music going today? Joan Tower: Which music? There's pop music. There's classical music. There's folk music. There's all kinds of music. BD: Are we blurring the lines between those kinds of musics? JT: Not enough. I'm beginning to think that we have to blur the lines more. BD: Why? JT: Because I think that classical music is suffering under the weight of being too much in the past as compared to pop music which is very much in the present and is a quite healthy art, at least in that sense. That new stuff is being presented all the time and tossed around and competed with and bought and sold. But classical music is still too much living in the past. BD: You think classical is not a healthy art then? JT: I don't think it's healthy for the dead composers, actually. I think Beethoven needs someone next to him that reminds you the music is vulnerable rather than it's just a masterpiece and so therefore why should we even bother to think about it. The wonderful thing about new music is the reaction it provokes. "Do I like this or don't I like it?" The audience is reacting to the music itself. With Beethoven, they don't do that. BD: They just come to another performance of a great' symphony.

Extractions: interview with the composer on the occasion of the 1990 Grawemeyer Award interview with the composer re: "Silver Ladders" (1987) SHE CALLS herself a ''left-sided'' composer. That does not mean her music comes from the left side - the supposedly calculative, analytical side - of her brain. Nor does it mean she writes pieces that in any way espouse a left-leaning political philosophy. What it means, Joan Tower says, is that she devotes a great deal of energy to thinking about whatever hand-written music happens to be just to the left of the spot at which her pencil has ground to a halt. ''Some composers know in advance just where they're going,'' she says. ''I don't. In the beginning I have to spend a lot of time on where I am and where I've just been. Yeah, I'm pretty slow. I can write about 2 1/2 minutes of music per month. That's one piece a year - two if I'm lucky.'' Tower, 48, is in her second year as the St. Louis Symphony's composer-in-residence. Her music was introduced to the St. Louis audience when St. Louis Symphony music director Leonard Slatkin included here ''Sequoia'' on the opening program of the orchestra's 1984-85 subscription season. The 1981 ''Sequoia'' was Tower's first work for full orchestra. She's recently completed a second. Titled ''Silver Ladders,'' it will be premiered by Slatkin and the orchestra on next weekend's Powell Hall concerts.

Joan Tower And Ursula Oppens
Home Reviews Features Profiles Links Up Previous Index Next DownJoan tower and Ursula Oppens Asked about her new piano concerto
http://www.madisonmusicreview.org/doc/f_199602_tower.html

Extractions: Asked about her new piano concerto, Rapids , which will have its world premiere performance Saturday evening at the Union Theater with renowned soloist Ursula Oppens and the University Symphony Orchestra under the baton of David Becker, composer Joan Tower says, "Well, I'm currently in denial, I guess. I'm very nervous before a performance, as though standing before a large building that went up very slowly and with a lot of labor, and now there it is and I'm worrying about it: will it work?" The new piece evokes a thoroughly intrigued response from the people who will be performing it. Oppens had asked Tower specifically for a work that was brilliant pianistically (the title reflects the idea of high-speed flow). "I love the piano part," Oppens told me, "but though I can tell that the orchestration is wonderful, I haven't actually heard it yet." Becker concedes the new work is extremely challenging for the students of the orchestra. "It's very quick, a highly rhythmic piece, and its textures are soloistic and exposed, an interesting conversation between the pianist and the orchestral players." Tower's relationship with Madison goes back to the early 80s, when as the pianist of the award-winning chamber ensemble Da Capo Players she performed a work of UW faculty composer Les Thimmig. She was prominently featured in the 1993 Women in Music Festival sponsored by the School of Music. Her Clarinet Concerto was performed here last season by the UW's Linda Bartley and the Madison Symphony Orchestra.

The composition will be performed by Elizabeth Simkin on cello and Karl Paulnack on piano, both of Ithaca College. Turning Points (1995) is a one-movement chamber work for a clarinet and string quintet. The piece will be performed by Simkin on cello, Richard Faria on clarinet, Debra Moree on viola and Ellen Jewett and Margaret Cooper on violin. All are Ithaca College music faculty. Other works on the program are by Igor Stravinsky, Elliott Carter, Samuel Barber and Laurence Bitensky, an Ithaca College and Cornell graduate and recipient of an American Society of Composers and Publishers Foundation Grant to Young Composers.

Extractions: Night Fields , my first string quartet, is dedicated with affection and admiration to the Muir String Quartet. The title came after the work was completed and provides an image or setting for some of the moods of the piece: a cold windy night in a wheat field lit up by a bright full moon where waves of fast-moving colors ripple over the field, occasionally settling on a patch of gold. Composer Joan Tower (1938- ) Joan Tower is a modern-day composer. She was born in New Rochelle, New York, but grew up in South America where her father worked as a mining engineer. Joan learned to play the piano as a child and, thanks to her family's musicales, discovered that she like to perform. When Joan was 18, she returned to the United States for college. After graduating from Bennington, she went on to Columbia University where she earned a Ph.D. in musical composition. Once she finished college, Joan founded a group called the Da Capo Chamber Players. She was the group's pianist for 15 years and composed many of the pieces they performed. But her big break came in 1985 when famed conductor Leonard Slatkin made her the composer-in-residence for the St. Louis Symphony. Joan's first compositions were written for only a small number of instruments, reflecting her long career in chamber music performance, but she gradually expanded her range. Her first piece for full orchestra, Sequoia , tries to portray through music the contrast between the sequoia tree's immense height and its tiny needles.

Extractions: Joan of the Tower (1320s) Dear folks, I am working on an analysis of Edward III's wars in Scotland. One thing I am trying to figure out is how the 2,000 librates of land granted to him by Edward Balliol became the entire counties of Berwick, Edinburgh, Dumfries, Roxburgh, Peebles, Selkirk, etc., which seems far in excess of 2,000 librates. I noticed that the Treaty of Northampton promised to establish 2,000 librates of dower lands for Queen Joan, (the wife of David II) and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find out what lands she was assigned specifically that way I could get a feel for what a more realistic assessment of 2,000 librates would be. (I suspect not much more than Berwick alone?) Thanks, Cliff Rogers Ohio State [Submitted by: Clifford J Rogers Thu, 9 Jun 1994 15:03:58 -0400]
