Tom Johnson (born November 18, 1939 in Greeley, Colorado), is an American minimalist composer, a former student of Morton Feldman.〔(Allmusic biography )〕 ==Career== His pieces are most often based simply on mathematical and logical processes, such as tiling, which he attempts to make as clear as possible. His works include: ''The Four Note Opera'', ''An Hour for Piano'', ''Rational Melodies'', the ''Bonhoeffer Oratorio'', ''Organ and Silence'', ''Riemannoper'', and ''Galileo''. He has also composed a considerable amount of music for the guitar including ''Alexandrins pour guitare'' (1989), ''Canon for Six Guitars'' (1998), ''Arpeggios for Guitar'' (2002), and ''Tinkelenberg Rhythms'' (2014).〔Thomas Schuttenhelm recorded a disc dedicated to the Guitar Music of Tom Johnson. See http://www.thomasschuttenhelm.com/testrecordings.html〕 Johnson received the French "Victoires de la Musique" prize for contemporary composition (the French equivalent of the "Grammies") in 2001 for "Kientzy Loops". He lived 15 years in New York, but in 1983 settled in Paris, where he lives with his wife, the artist Esther Ferrer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tom Johnson (composer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
