Joan Tower back to main page I have known Joan Tower for over five years. We first met when I performed her Piano Concerto with the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra at a music festival in Indy in March of 1995. Since that time, I've recorded the Piano Concerto and have also performed her two solo pieces for piano, Holding a Daisy and Or like a...an engine , both based on a poem by John Ashberry entitled "No longer very clear." I have performed the solo works throughout the US and Russia and most recently at the 2000 MTNA national convention in Minneapolis.

Home Composers Joan Tower updated 12 December 2002 Joan Tower Steve Sherman Joan Tower is one of this generation's most dynamic and colorful composers. Her bold and energetic music, with its striking imagery and novel structural forms, has won large, enthusiastic audiences. Her first orchestral work, Sequoia , quickly entered the repertory, with performances by orchestras including Saint Louis, New York, San Francisco, Minnesota, Tokyo NHK, Toronto, and the National Symphony and London Philharmonia; a choreographed version by The Royal Winnipeg Ballet has toured throughout Canada, Europe, and Russia. Silver Ladders , written in 1987 for the Saint Louis Symphony as part of her three-year residency (1985-1988) with that orchestra, won the prestigious 1990 Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition and has been performed by the Saint Louis, Chicago, Louisville, Dallas, and Berlin (Radio) orchestras. Silver Ladders was recently made into a ballet by the choreographer Helgi Tomasson for the San Francisco Ballet, which toured the work in Europe and the US. A recording by Nonesuch Records, featuring the Saint Louis Symphony (led by Leonard Slatkin), highlights

Map 12 Rouen Joan was brought to Rouen under English escort on December 23, 1430. Rouen sits along the Seine in the middle of the Province of Normandy and was important to England for its flourishing luxury trades. The castle in Rouen consists of seven towers surrounding a large lower court in the fortress of Bouvreuil. Joan was held in one of these towers, which was a secular prison. One of these towers is called the Joan of Arc Tower, however modern scholars feel she was not imprisoned in that particular tower. She was held in this tower throughout the public hearings, private interrogations, inquiry, and the trial itself until she was turned over to secular authority on May 30, 1421. Joan's cell was a dark room in the castle at Rouen. She was kept in leg irons which were chained to a large piece of wood. She was under the careful guard of five English soldiers, three of whom slept within her cell. Though the imprisonment was clearly secular, the keys to her cell were held by three clergymen) Cardinal Henry Beaufort, Cauchon, and Inquisitor Jean Graverent) to maintain the legal illusion of it being an ecclesiastical custody. The tower Joan was held in allowed for others to easily hear what happened in her cell without being seen.

Sequoia from Kings Canyon National Park . "Sequoia trees are virtually impervious to disease, insect attacks, and even forest fire, to which their thick bark provides protection. In fact, they usually die only when they fall during a storm, slide, or other catastrophic event." Before the last Ice Age, these giant trees covered what is now Asia, Europe and North America. Only three redwood species remain: coast redwood and giant sequoia in California; dawn redwood, a deciduous tree which shed its leaves each year, in China. Photo by Steve Sherman Joan Tower homepage: http://www.emory.edu/MUSIC/ARNOLD/JTOWER.HTM Born in New Rochelle, New York, Joan Tower grew up in South America and attended Bennington College and Columbia University. As a pianist she founded the Da Capo Chamber Players in 1969, composing solo and chamber works for members of the ensemble. In the notes to her SEQUOIA / ISLAND PRELUDE (Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, Leonard Slatkin, conductor) CD recording, Susan Feder writes: "The turning point in Tower's career came with her first orchestral commission, SEQUOIA, (1981). Although she still recalls the trepidation with which she agreed to write a piece for the American Composers Orchestra, Tower took the opportunity to explore on a large scale issues that fascinated her in the music of Beethoven matters of balance and contrast. She chose a potent image for extra-musical inspiration: the immense sequoia tree. 'The achievement of such great heights by the giant, majestic sequoia seems to me an incredible feat of balance, she observes. 'Yet, in spite of its power and grandeur, its leaves are tiny, no larger than a thumbnail. In fact, the overall shape and contours of the tree are really very simple.' By translating these concepts into musical terms, Tower created a vigorous work of immense appeal. Orchestras around the world immediately took up SEQUOIA, propelling Tower into the mainstream of American orchestral life."
