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 - show the row as a "set" of values and relationships, absolutely and strictly defined not only in terms of structure but also of operational process, he applies the serial technique in a strict dodecaphonic procedure: maintaining the fixed order of the twelve tones in the vertical (harmony) and the linear (melodic) succession. He characteristically bases his pitch organisation on bringing together fractions of serial forms to produce 'aggregates' of all 12 pitches: Du a song cycle establishing a genuine serial polyphony, Composition for Viola and Piano Composition for Tenor and Six Instruments He was one of the foremost contributors to the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Centre - the principal centre for tape and electronic music in the United States.

Home Composers Milton Babbitt updated 3 March 1998 Milton Babbitt 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.

Milton Babbitt (b. 1916) Life Theorist, mathematician, and composer. He studied with Roger Sessions at Princeton. Highly influenced by Schoenberg and Webern, he attempted to control every aspect of his compositions in a total serialization of pitch, rhythm, duration, and timbre: 12 tones, 12 note values, 12 dynamic levels, 12 instrumental timbres, and 12 time intervals between instruments. Continues to work with total serialization at present. In the fifties he began working with an RCA synthesizer and has written a large body of electronic music. In the seventies he used tape along with live performances. He compares the twentieth-century serialization of music as a revolution comparable to the twentieth-century revolution in physics. He wrote the "notorious" article, "Who Cares If You Listen" dealing with the idea of composer as specialist writing music that the general public has no interest in and can not or does not understand or want to understand. Works: Three Compositions for Piano (1947) Composition for 4 Instruments (1948) String Quartet No. 1 and No. 2 (1954)

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.

14. Greg Sandow -- The Fine Madness Of Milton Babbitt Milton Babbitt describes his work in abstract terms, that have nothing to dowith its musical flow, its emotional impact. or its meaning. http://www.gregsandow.com/babbitt.htm

Modern Music, 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. Sing Along With Milton 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

Milton Babbitt Born 10 May 1916, Philadelphia. Babbitt, one of the principal composer/theorists of the post-Schoenberg era, was raised in Mississippi (and often refers to himself as "a Southern boy"). He was educated at New York University and studied privately with the American composer Roger Sessions, whom he followed to Princeton. A gifted mathematician, he developed the notion of combinatoriality, where partitions of 12-tone rows interact with those of other rows that contain the same pitch classes. He also invented much of the terminology we use to describe modern 12-tone technique: pitch class, time point, and, especially, the five parameters of a sound event (pitch, duration, intensity, timbre, envelope). Babbitt was also a pioneer of electronic and computer composition, composing Philomel and other major works with the RCA Synthesizer, given by RCA to Princeton and Columbia. (This machine was one of the first of its kind, an enormous battery of components that used vacuum tubes and filled a room; the Sound Blaster card in your computer nowadays does most of the same things.) He is one of the distinguished composition teachers of our time, with students ranging from disciples of serialism to Stephen Sondheim.

Milton Babbitt Milton Babbitt was born in 1916. he has long been considered the composer most able to fully realize Schoenberg's ideas of serial composition. Often labeled an ultra rationalist, Babbitt was dedicated to the belief that every sound should represent a distinct purpose. He believed that music was non-emotion based. With this in mind, he felt that his music was best consumed on a cerebral level to order to obtain the maximum level of understanding. Babbitt was one of the first to investigate the possibilities of electronic music. His interest in electronic music stemmed not from the endless timbre possibilities but from the possibility of total control and execution. Ensembles for Synthesizer (1962-64)
