Home Composers Thea Musgrave see also ChesterNovello.com updated 3 July 2003 Thea Musgrave Rich and powerful musical language and a strong sense of drama have made Scottish-American composer Thea Musgrave one of the most respected and exciting contemporary composers in the Western world. Her compositions were first performed under the auspices of the British Broadcasting Corporation and at the Edinburgh International Festival. As a result her works have been widely performed in Britain, Europe and the USA, and at the major music festivals, such as Edinburgh, Warsaw Autumn, Florence Maggio Musicale, Venice Biennale, Aldeburgh, Cheltenham and Zagreb; on most of the European and American broadcasting stations; and on many regular symphony concert series. From time to time she conducts her own works: the premiere performance of Mary, Queen of Scots in August 1977 at the Edinburgh International Festival and again in 1979 with the San Francisco Spring Opera; her ballet Beauty and the Beast ; the premiere performances of The Voice of Ariadne in Britain and again in New York and Los Angeles for the New York City Opera; orchestral works with the BBC Symphony, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, English Chamber Orchestra, and the London Sinfonietta; also a recording of the

It is a measure of her talent and determination that Thea Musgrave achieved great respect for her work both as a composer and conductor at a time when it was still a rather uncommon profession for a woman. The joint commission of Harriet, the Woman called Moses (1985) by the Royal Opera House and Virginia Opera Association and, most recently, Sim³n Bol­var by the Los Angeles Music Center Opera and Scottish Opera can be seen as confirmation of a widespread recognition. Born in Scotland on 27 May 1928, she studied first at the University of Edinburgh and later at the Conservatoire in Paris, where she spent four years as a pupil of Nadia Boulanger. In 1970 she became Guest Professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, a position which confirmed her increasing involvement with the musical life of the United States, where she has resided since 1972. In 1974 she received the Koussevitzky Award, resulting in the composition of Space Play, and she has also been awarded two Guggenheim Fellowships, in 1974-5, and again in 1982-3. In June 1995 Musgrave received a conferment of Honorary Degree of Doctor of Music from Glasgow University. Musgrave has always been eager to extend the apparent conventional boundaries of music and has consistently explored new means of projecting and maintaining essentially dramatic situations in music. As she once put it, she wanted to 'explore dramatic-abstract musical forms: that is, dramatic in the sense of presentation, but at the same time abstract because there is no programmatic content… a kind of extension of the concerto principle'. She has always been keenly aware of spatial acoustic possibilities: in the Clarinet Concerto the soloist moves around the different sections of the orchestra and in the Horn Concerto the orchestral horns are stationed around the concert hall. Thus the players are not merely an apparatus for the projection of the music, but are also its dramatis personae.

Classical Music on the Web Music Webmaster Len Mullenger Thea Musgrave by Francis Routh This article first appeared as Chapter 8 of Contemporary British Music published by Macdonald in 1972 Francis Routh1972/1998 It is an accepted datum, avant-garde experiment. That remarkable teacher, whose pupils include most of the best-known American and European composers and musicians, did not indulge in such things; she was concerned with traditions, with technique, with attention to detail; also, perhaps justifiably, with the most distinguished horse from her stable, Stravinsky, who had not yet defected to the serial ranks. It was a period for Musgrave of artistic awakening. In her search for a style that would fully suit her idiom, Thea Musgrave tended to 'let it happen'. The means adopted are, after all, of less importance than the end towards which they are directed; the finished art-work is what matters. Nevertheless, one is not possible without the other, and her style resulted from various and continuing influences. Her early works were tonal, and mainly vocal; songs such as the Five Songs for baritone, which occupied six months of her student years; the

"The Story of Harriet Tubman by Thea Musgrave," a concert review by Jeanne Shaffer as published in the IAWM Journal , February 1993, pp. 9. Mobile Opera presented "The Story of Harriet Tubman" by Scottish composer, Thea Musgrave, a narrated music-drama based on the opera, "Harriet, the Woman Called Moses," at Alabama State University in Montgomery on Saturday night, January 16 at 8:00 P.M. For this tour, the full length opera was shortened to a ninety minute production without intermission; the orchestration was reduced to violin, viola, cello, flute, clarinet, horn, percussion, piano and synthesizer. The set was designed to make touring to Selma, Birmingham, Pensacola, Monroeville and Montgomery as simple as possible. A raked stage, having set pieces attached by hinges, allowed smooth scene changes. The chorus of nine sat on wooden benches just off- stage right and left, and handed props to singers as needed. The tour closed with three performances in Mobile. The cast of nine singers played twelve parts admirably. Musgrave, as one would expect, used thematic material from several negro spirituals. The chorus entered down the aisles singing "Go Down, Moses" to good effect. But the melodic simplicity soon evolved into a rich and powerful dramatic work.

In the second act, the dream of Bolívar begins to disintegrate, as his idealistic union of states fails to hold together; Bolívar is seen as an exile, dying in poverty, seemingly forgotten. A coda telescopes the action into the twentieth century, where a revolution scene is taking place. The voice of Bolívar is heard, singing Bolívar's own words, invoking the ideal of freedom and the heavy demands it places on those who seek it.
