Softcover. Condition: As New. Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Milton Babbitt is regarded as a leading figure in post-World War II American music, known not only for his powerful compositions but also for his engaging teaching and lecturing style. In 1983, he delivered a series of lectures at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,…summarizing key musical insights that have shaped his teaching over four decades. This collection presents a comprehensive overview of his thoughts, particularly focusing on the twelve-tone tradition with which he is closely associated. Babbitt explores various aspects of this tradition, addressing specific compositional challenges and evaluating his own role within it. He tackles controversial topics in twentieth-century music, including serialism, atonality, and the listener's responsibility, as well as the role of music in academia. His presentations were tailored for diverse audiences, making his ideas accessible and engaging. This volume captures the brilliance and spontaneity of his spoken language. At the time of publication, Babbitt was Professor Emeritus at Princeton University, having received numerous accolades throughout his career, including the Pulitzer Prize in 1982 and a MacArthur Fellowship in 1986. He was also a member of the National Institute of Arts and Letters and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Paperback. Condition: New. Like his compositions, Milton Babbitt's writings about music have exerted an extraordinary influence on postwar music and thinking about music. In essays and public addresses spanning fifty years, Babbitt has grappled profoundly with central questions in the composition and apprehension of music. These… writings range from personal memoirs and critical reviews to closely reasoned metatheoretical speculations and technical exegesis. In the history of music theory, there has been only a small handful of figures who have produced work of comparable stature. Taken as a whole, Babbitt's writings are not only an invaluable testimony to his thinking--a priceless primary source for the intellectual and cultural history of the second half of the twentieth century--but also a remarkable achievement in their own right. Prior to this collection, Babbitt's writings were scattered through a wide variety of journals, books, and magazines--many hard to find and some unavailable--and often contained typographical errors and editorial corruptions of various kinds. This volume of almost fifty pieces gathers, corrects, and annotates virtually everything of significance that Babbitt has written.The result is complete, authoritative, and fully accessible--the definitive source of Babbitt's influential ideas.
