   Extractions: Milton Byron Babbitt (b. 1916) Everything in Babbitt's music serves a constructive function. The first works in which linear succession, harmonic simultaneity, duration (including rhythm and tempo), dynamics, articulation, register, and timbre are all strictly derived from a single, all-inclusive premise were written by Babbitt in 1948. Three Compositions for piano, Compositions for Four Instruments Composition for Twelve Instruments Du a song cycle establishing a genuine serial polyphony, Composition for Viola and Piano Composition for Tenor and Six Instruments Vision and Prayer and Philomel shows his use of the human voice as an essential part of the electronic conception and are examples of combined live performance with tape. In Sounds and Words and Phonemena Composition for Synthesizer Ensembles for Synthesizer show his concern with new ways of organising time and form perception. All Set for jazz ensemble and Partitions Sounds and Words for soprano and piano, combine his clarity and care with a new richness and lively virtuosity appropriate to the conditions of live performance; Two Sonnets for baritone, clarinet, viola and cello exhibit a neat parallel between the rhyme scheme and serial forms employed, the

   http://www.schirmer.com/composers/babbitt_bio.html
   
   Extractions: The compositional and intellectual wisdom of Milton Babbitt has influenced a wide range of contemporary musicians. A broad array of distinguished musical achievements in the dodecaphonic system and important writings on the subject have generated increased understanding and integration of serialist language into the eclectic musical styles of the late 20th century. Babbitt is also renowned for his great talent and instinct for jazz and his astonishing command of American popular music. His All Set , for jazz ensemble, reveals an extraordinary compositional flexibility, uniquely American and vintage Babbitt. Babbitt was born on 10 May 1916 in Philadelphia and studied composition privately with Roger Sessions. He earned degrees from New York and Princeton Universities and has been awarded honorary degrees from Middlebury College, Swarthmore College, New York University, the New England Conservatory, University of Glasgow, and Northwestern University. He taught at Princeton and The Juilliard School. An extensive catalogue of works for multiple combinations of instruments and voice along with his pioneering achievements in synthesized sound have made Babbitt one of the most celebrated of 20th-century composers. He is a founder and member of the Committee of Direction for the Electronic Music Center of Columbia-Princeton Universities and a member of the Editorial Board of Perspectives of New Music. The recipient of numerous honors, commissions, and awards, including a MacArthur Fellowship and a Pulitzer Prize Citation for his "life's work as a distinguished and seminal American composer," Babbitt is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

   Extractions: MILTON BABBITT BASIC TWELVE-TONE INFORMATION PRE-ATONAL MUSIC TOPICS ATONAL MUSIC TOPICS 12-TONE MUSIC TOPICS American composer and music theorist who has made many significant contributions to the theory and practice of the twelve-tone method. As Joseph N. Straus points out on page 134 of his Introduction to Post-Tonal Theory "Virtually all modern work in twelve-tone theory stems from the writing and teaching of Milton Babbitt." As a composer he develop the Time-Point System through which rhythm and various formal units can be derived from the basic set of a composition. This system is one of two that became the basic methods by which total serialization can be achieved. The other was developed slightly later than Babbitt's by Pierre Boulez. Babbitt's writings include initial articles on just about every basic analytical and compositional approach to atonal and twelve-music. It is not making a boastful statement to say that next to Arnold Schoenberg, Milton Babbitt has had the most significant and inclusive influence of the development of the twelve-tone method. Recommended Web sites These web sites will provide many important facts about Babbitt's biography, compositional output and significance to the development of the cultivated European musical tradition. As such each should be visited during the semester. It is recommended that you visit the first site before any other. And be sure to follow the links found on that site.

9. Greg Sandow -- The Fine Madness Of Milton Babbitt
   Milton Babbitt describes his work in abstract terms, that have nothing to do with its musical flow, its emotional impact. or its meaning.  
   http://www.gregsandow.com/babbitt.htm
   
   Extractions: This isn't entirely his fault, though, because Babbitt talks about music the same way. After some useful thoughts about why Schoenberg's Violin Concerto is hard to perform, he goes on (in liner notes for the CBS recording) for perhaps one-third the length of this article about its 12-tone set structure, as if nothing else mattered, adding a few words about a recurring basic form of the set as a sop to "those listeners who depend on surface similitudes to provide coherence and continuity in the first stages of their acquaintance with a work." Part of his problem is that as a self-described "logical empiricist" he's willing to make only "verifiable" statements about music, which leaves out any necessarily unverifiable reference to the passions that make people want to compose it or hear it. He's like a cryptographer who'll talk about the structure of the Japanese codes but won't tell you whether their planes are in flight toward Pearl Harbor. Babbitt is both too sensitive and too sensible to pretend that the "unverifiable" things aren't there or that 12-tone structure in itself could make anything worth hearing, but his unwillingness to talk about what music might mean makes his non-theoretical criticism oddly trivial. (Compare, for example, his bland description of Schoenberg's

For almost six decades Milton Babbitt has been pushing the boundaries of contemporary composition creating a unique world of sound, form and color. Here, as one would expect, Babbitt is at his most radical. Two striking string quartets, including the first recording of his challenging sixth quartet performed by a special group organized by new music legend Fred Sherry, are balanced with rare electronic masterpiece 'Occasional Variations' and a virtuosic guitar composition evoking legendary jazzman Eddie Lang. An exciting program of compositional fireworks by one of today's most acclaimed, yet misunderstood composers."

    Extractions: Milton Babbitt Milton Babbitt was born in Philadelphia in 1916. His father was a mathematician, which influenced Babbitt later in life. He grew up in Jackson, Mississippi, learning the violin which he began at age four, and the clarinet and saxophone. When he was just fifteen years old, he graduated high school, and had developed ability as a jazz musician and pop music composer. In 1931, Babbitt enrolled in the University of Pennsylvania with the intention of studying mathematics as his father did. He soon found that he was more interested in composing music than studying math, and he transferred to New York University. Four years later, he received his bachelor's degree, studying and Stravinsky. Babbitt found the music that most interested him, though, when he discovered twelve tone music. After graduation, he began to take composition lessons with Roger Sessions and write music related articles. He identified the possibility of using electronic instruments in classical music. Babbitt began work on his graduate degree, becoming a member of the faculty in 1938 and receiving his degree in 1942. He was awarded the Joseph Bearns Prize for one of his compositions. During World War II, he worked both as a math professor at Princeton and a mathematician for the government. Babbitt worked on his compositional skills for the next few years, and in 1948, returned to the Princeton faculty. A year later, he won his first New York Critics Circle Citation for a composition entitled Composition for Four Instruments. A composer of twelve-tone music, Babbitt invented a technique known as combinatoriality, where segments of twelve-tone rows interact with segments of other rows with identical pitch classes. He also coined the terminology used in the discussion of twelve-tone music: pitch class, time point, and the five parameters of sound (pitch, duration
