John Adams
John Adams is one of the best known and most often performed of America's composers. As Andrew Porter wrote in The New Yorker , Adams is the creator of a "flexible new language capable of producing large-scale works that are both attractive and strongly fashioned. His is a music whose highly polished resonant sound is wonderful." Le Monde says that his music "...gives the impression of a rediscovered liberty, of an open door which lets in the fresh air in great gusts." Adams was born in Worcester, Massachusetts on 15 February 1947. During his youth, growing up in Vermont and New Hampshire, he was strongly influenced by the intellectual and cultural institutions of New England. He received both his BA and MA degrees from Harvard University, where he was active as a conductor, clarinetist, and composer. His principal teachers included Leon Kirchner , David Del Tredici, and Roger Sessions. In 1971 Adams began an active career in the San Francisco area, teaching at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music (1972-83) and serving as new music adviser and composer-in-residence for the San Francisco Symphony (1978-85). His creative output spans a wide range of media: works for orchestra, opera, video, film, and dance, as well as electronic and instrumental music. Such pieces as Harmonium Harmonielehre Shaker Loops , and The Chairman Dances are among the best known and most frequently performed of contemporary American music. In these works he has taken minimalism into a new and fresh terrain characterized by luminous sonorities and a powerful and dramatic approach to form.

John Adams
John Adams was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1947 and graduated from Harvard University in 1971. He moved to California where he taught and conducted at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music for ten years. His innovative concerts led to his appointment firstly as contemporary music advisor to the San Francisco Symphony, and then as the orchestra's composer-in-residence between 1979 and 1985, the period in which his reputation became established with the success of such works as "Harmonium" and "Harmonielehre". Recordings on the New Albion and ECM labels were followed by a contract with Nonesuch Records in 1986. Of John Adams' compositions, the best known and most widely discussed is his opera "Nixon in China", given its premiere by Houston Grand Opera in 1987 and winner of the 1989 Grammy for Best Contemporary Composition. With "Nixon in China", the composer, along with director Peter Sellars, librettist Alice Goodman and choreographer Mark Morris, brought contemporary history vividly into the opera house, pioneering an entire genre of post-modern music theater. The original staging of the work by Sellars has subsequently been seen in New York, Washington, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Los Angeles, Paris, Adelaide and Frankfurt. New productions of the opera have been presented in Helsinki (in Finnish) and Beilefeld (in German). Adams' second opera, "The Death of Klinghoffer", again a collaboration with Sellars, Goodman and Morris, had its premiere at the Brussels Opera in 1991. Described by Newsweek critic Katrine Ames as "a work that fires the heart," it has also been seen in Lyon, Vienna, New York and San Francisco.

John Couch Adams
Can you believe it? Couch is one of over 300 mathematicians that have a lunar crater named after them. John Couch Adams made many other contributions to our knowledge of astronomy. For example, he studied the Leonid meteor shower and correctly concluded that the shower was the result of a comet passing close to Earth once a year. Adams was a mathematics professor at Cambridge and eventually became director of the Cambridge Observatory. He refused a knighthood offered by Queen Victoria to honor him for his accomplishments. Adams did not want the extra attention nor did he feel he had the money to maintain the lifestyle of a knight. He died in 1892 in Cambridge. Adams and his wife are buried under a 70 foot high granite cross in Cambridge. Three years after his death, he was honored with a memorial tablet in Westminster Abbey. The tablet is near the tablet that honors Sir Isaac Newton, another brilliant English mathematician.

John Couch Adams showed great mathematical ability while at school, and he became known for his considerable abilities for accurate numerical calculations. During this period he first became interested in astronomy and, by the age of 16, he had worked out when an annular eclipse of the Sun would be visible in Lidcot. His brother lived at Lidcot, which is near Launceston about 10Km from where John was born. Adams was educated at St John's College, Cambridge. He began his undergraduate course in October 1839 and graduated Senior Wrangler four years later. He is said to have been awarded double the marks of the Second Wrangler which, if true, is an incredible achievement. Also in 1843 he became first Smith's Prizeman and he became a Fellow of Pembroke College. He was to hold this Fellowship, in addition to other posts, until his death. In 1841, while still an undergraduate, he decided to investigate

John Luther Adams
No, not that John Adams. This one is from Alaska and his music is appropriately icy, distant and spacious. -John Schafer, New Sounds The music of John Luther Adams has been called "art of beauty, power and intellectual integrity" (American Record Guide). Adams' works have been performed in concert and broadcast on radio and television throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Great Britain and Australia. He has received numerous commissions, awards and fellowships - from the National Endowment for the Arts, Meet the Composer, the Lila Wallace Trust, the Rockefeller Foundation, the American Music Center and the Alaska State Council on the Arts, among others. Born in 1953 and raised on the East Coast, Adams studied composition with James Tenney at the California Institute of the Arts (BFA '73), where his other teachers included Harold Budd , Leonard Stein, Morton Subotnick and Mel Powell. In the mid-70s, he migrated to Alaska, where he has lived ever since. An active environmentalist, Adams worked for several years as executive director of the Northern Alaska Environmental Center and has been a leader in the Green Party of Alaska. He has worked as a wilderness guide and traveled exensively throughout the far north, pursuing a strong love for wild places and indigenous Alaskan culture. For seven years, he served as timpanist and principal percussionist with the Fairbanks Symphony and the Arctic Chamber Orchestra. As National Endowment for the Arts composer-in-residence with these orchestras, he founded and directed three seasons of "American Originals", an annual festival of new music.

Famous quotations by John Quincy Adams:
  • Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.
    All men profess honesty as long as they can. To believe all men honest would be folly. To believe none so is something worse.
    Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.
    Posterity: you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it.

    John Adams Learned and thoughtful, John Adams was more remarkable as a political philosopher than as a politician. "People and nations are forged in the fires of adversity," he said, doubtless thinking of his own as well as the American experience. Adams was born in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1735. A Harvard-educated lawyer, he early became identified with the patriot cause; a delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses, he led in the movement for independence. During the Revolutionary War he served in France and Holland in diplomatic roles, and helped negotiate the treaty of peace. From 1785 to 1788 he was minister to the Court of St. James's, returning to be elected Vice President under George Washington.

    Adams' two terms as Vice President were frustrating experiences for a man of his vigor, intellect, and vanity. He complained to his wife Abigail, "My country has in its wisdom contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived."
