Born: December 11, 1908, New York, New York [Died] November 5, 2012. New York, New York. American composer. Full name Elliot Cook Carter, Jr.. He revolutionized music with his innovative polyrhythmic principle called metric modulation. He became interested in music after meeting composer Charles E. Ives. He studied at Harvard University from 1926 to 1932, went to Paris to study under Nadia Boulanger, and began composing in earnest in 1933. His early representative works include Symphony No. 1 (1942). He used complex counterpoint in the Piano Sonata (1945-46), which marked a turning point in his musical composition, and established metric modulation in the Cello Sonata (1948). This intricately interwoven counterpoint was perfected in String Quartet No. 1 (1951), and became Carter's signature style. His Variations for Orchestra (1954-55) led him to explore pitch and dynamics. Other works he produced include the Oboe Concerto (1987) and the Cello Concerto (2001). He continued to compose music even after he turned 100. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1960 and 1973, and in 1985 he became the first composer to receive the National Medal of Arts. Carter |
[生]1908.12.11. ニューヨーク,ニューヨーク [没]2012.11.5. ニューヨーク,ニューヨーク アメリカ合衆国の作曲家。フルネーム Elliot Cook Carter, Jr.。メトリック・モジュレーションと呼ばれる斬新なポリリズム(複リズム)の原理で音楽に変革をもたらした。作曲家チャールズ・E.アイブズとの出会いを契機に音楽に興味をもつ。1926~32年ハーバード大学で学び,パリに渡ってナディア・ブーランジェに師事,1933年から本格的に作曲を始めた。初期の代表曲は『交響曲第1番』(1942)など。音楽作法の転換点となった『ピアノ・ソナタ』(1945~46)で複雑な対位法を用い,『チェロ・ソナタ』(1948)でメトリック・モジュレーションを確立した。この緻密に織り合わされた対位法は『弦楽四重奏第1番』(1951)で完成し,カーターを代表するスタイルとなった。『オーケストラのための変奏曲』(1954~55)は音程と強弱法への取り組みにつながっていった。ほかに,『オーボエ協奏曲』(1987),『チェロ協奏曲』(2001)など。100歳を過ぎても創作活動を続けた。1960年と 1973年にピュリッツァー賞を受賞,1985年に作曲家として初めてナショナル・メダル・オブ・アーツを授与された。 カーター
