Elias Tanenbaum, "Contradictions"
ELlAS TANENBAUM
CONTRADICTIONS (1974)
Tape realized at the electronic music studio of the Manhattan School of Music
-- LINER NOTES --
ELlAS TANENBAUM (b. 1924, Brooklyn) studied trumpet at an early age. His first musical experiences were in the field of jazz, and his music reflects the openness and spontaneity of the jazz experience. After serving in World War II, he entered the Juilliard School of Music; upon graduation as a trumpet major his interests turned to composition. He studied privately with Dante Fiorillo, Bohuslav Martinu, Otto Luening and Wallingford Riegger.
Tanenbaum, who has composed extensively in all mediums, is the recipient of many prizes and awards. He is the director of the electronic music studio, a member of the composition.faculty, and conductor ofthe Composers' Improvisation Ensemble at the Manhattan School of Music. He writes:
"The material used in CONTRADICTIONS is varied. There are both electronically generated and concrete sounds. The work opens with a man's voice saying, 'Sounds are.' That phrase expresses my feelings about this work; sounds are whatever they are and stand by themselves."
AMERICAN COMPOSERS ALLIANCE
Each year, the American Composers Alliance chooses several member composers to receive the ACA Recording Award. These awards are given either to stimulate the career of a talented young composer or to call attention to the recognized achievement of a mature musician. Occasionally, the birthday of an outstanding composer is celebrated with the Award. In all cases, the selection is made by a jury of the composer's peers, whose principal criterion is artistic excellence.
