Joseph Schwantner
Joseph Clyde Schwantner (born March 22, 1943 in Chicago, Illinois) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer, educator and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters since 2002. He was awarded the 1970 Charles Ives Prize.
Schwantner is prolific, with many works to his credit. His style is coloristic and eclectic, drawing on such diverse elements as French impressionism, African drumming, and minimalism. His orchestral work ''Aftertones of Infinity'' received the 1979 Pulitzer Prize for Music.〔
==Biographical information==
Schwantner began his musical study at an early age in classical guitar; this study also incorporated the genres of jazz and folk. He also played the tuba in his high school orchestra. His first compositional aspirations were noticed by his guitar teach who consistently experienced Schwantner elaborating on pieces he would be studying. From this, Schwantner’s teacher suggested he collect these ideas and create his one musical composition. One of his earliest compositions was in the jazz idiom. The piece ''Offbeats'' won the National Band Camp Award in 1959.〔(James. "Schwantner, Joseph." Grove Music Online. Oxford Music Online. Oxford University Press )〕 Remaining in Chicago, he continued his musical study in composition to the city’s American Conservatory, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 1964. Here, Schwantner studied with Bernard Dieter. He was exposed to and closely explored the music of Debussy, Bartók, and Messiaen. His graduate study also occurred in Chicago, obtaining master of music and doctorate of music degrees in composition from Northwestern University in 1966 and 1968 respectively. At Northwestern, he was guided under the tutelage of Alan Stout and Anthony Donato. Building on his experiences at the American Conservatory, Schwantner was engaged by the music of Berio and Rochberg.〔(Scott. "Joseph Schwantner." In ''A Composer's Insight: Thoughts, Analysis, and Commentary on Contemporary Masterpieces for Wind Band'', edited by Timothy Salzman, 131-146. )〕 These influences, along with those from his undergraduate study, will prove to be distinct and effective influences on his compositional output. As a student of composition, Schwantner continued to aspire with three works being recognized with BMI Student Composer Awards.
After completing his education, Schwantner obtained an assistant professor position at Pacific Lutheran University in 1968. He moved to a similar position at Ball State in 1969 and continued to the Eastman School of Music as a faculty member in 1970. Briefly leaving college academia, Schwantner was composer in residence with the St. Louis Symphony from 1982-84. In 1985, Schwantner's life and music were the subject of a documentary in WGBH Boston's ''Soundings'' series. The documentary focused mainly on the composition of his piece ''New Morning for the World'', for narrator and orchestra.〔Atwood, David, dir. ("Joseph Schwantner and His Music." ) ''Soundings''. WGBH, Boston, MA, 1985. Television.〕 His faculty work continued at the Juilliard School in 1986, and he has currently maintained a position at Yale since 1999. Schwantner retired from his position at Eastman in 1999. His most notable commissions include the song cycle ''Magabunda'' for orchestra in 1983, ''A Sudden Rainbow'' in 1986, the guitar concerto ''From Afar...'' in 1987, and a piano concerto in 1988.
