Home Articles Factbook Events ... Composers Hovhaness, Alan (1911-2000 USA) Hovhaness, Alan (1911-2000 USA) Saturday, 17 September, 2005 Biography Alan Hovhaness ranks among the most intriguing of figures in 20th century classical music. He was one of the most recorded and lauded American composers in the 1950 and 60s, and since the 1990s continues to enjoy something of a revival on CD. However, there is a dearth of serious scholarly commentary on Hovhaness despite a wealth of radical individuality in some phases of his six decades of creativity. This is somewhat surprising given that during the 1940s and 50s he was firmly entrenched within that maverick group of composers (others included Henry Cowell, Jonn Cage and Lou Harrison) who spearheaded one of the great shifts in twentieth century American music, namely that of looking to non-Western cultures for creative renewal in art music. With little published reference material on Hovhaness, at a time when serious investigation is long overdue, this site seeks to reduce the informational ‘void’ on the man and his music. No claim is made here that the composer’s 500-odd works constitute a canon of masterpieces (any more than do the hundreds of works by Martinu or Henry Cowell) but as Leonard Bernstein remarked in 1960, “Some of Hovhaness's music is very, very good”. Half a century on, most of those works are still a well-kept secret from audiences and performers alike. Musicologists are not aware of the composer's quasi-aleatoric innovations in the 1940s. Hovhaness’s best works stand shoulder-to-shoulder with those of America’s most lauded composers, and many are more original. This is not surprising given that Hovhaness was an outsider by temperament and choice, his artistic credo impermeable to musical fashion and his aesthetic intent often more in sympathy with the Orient than Occident.

But the program ended with an (unfortunately regular) feature of showing photos of US soldiers who have died in service. Alan Hovhaness' Prayer of St. Gregory , from the opera Etchmiadzin , played in the background. Wikipedia on St. Gregory St. Gregory's pontificate saw the development of the notion of private penance as parallel to the institution of public penance. He explicitly taught a doctrine of Purgatory where a soul destined to undergo purification after death because of certain sins, could begin its purification in this earthly life, through good works, obedience and Christian conduct, making the travails to come lighter and shorter. pbs: bonesetter podcast lala: wynton marsalis version of prayer of st. gregory

Alan Hovhaness From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Alan Hovhaness with an Indonesian rebab Alan Hovhaness Armenian ) (March 8, 1911 – June 21, 2000) was an American composer of Armenian and Scottish ancestry. His music is accessible to the lay listener and often evokes a mood of mystery or contemplation. The Boston Globe music critic Richard Buell wrote: "Although he has been stereotyped as a self-consciously Armenian composer (rather as Ernest Bloch is seen as a Jewish composer), his output assimilates the music of many cultures. What may be most American about all of it is the way it turns its materials into a kind of exoticism. The atmosphere is hushed, reverential, mystical, nostalgic." cite this quote He was among the most prolific of 20th century composers, his official catalog comprising 67 numbered symphonies (surviving manuscripts indicate over 70) and 434 opus numbers. However, the true tally is well over 500 surviving works since many opus numbers comprise two or more distinct works.

News: July 2000 Composer Alan Hovhaness Dies at 89 Alan Hovhaness Photo courtesy of C.F. Peters lan Hovhaness, a prolific composer who melded Western and Asian musical genres, died in Seattle on June 21, 2000. He was 89 and had suffered from a severe stomach ailment for the last three years. Hovhaness was born in Somerville, MA, on March 8, 1911 to Haroutiun Hovhaness Chakmakjian, a chemistry professor, and Madeline Scott Chakmakjian. His Scottish mother thought her husband's Armenian last name sounded too foreign for a young child growing up in a suburb of Boston, so she changed his name to Alan Hovhaness when he was still quite young. Hovhaness began improvising even before he had piano lessons, and began writing music as soon as he learned to read it at the age of seven. By age 13, Hovhaness had already written two operas, Bluebeard and Daniel , as well as a number of smaller works. His early piano teachers were Adelaide Proctor and Heinrich Gebhard, and his first composition studies were with Frederick Converse at the New England Conservatory of Music (following a brief period at Tufts The pivotal moment in Hovhaness' development as a composer was in 1942, when he won a scholarship to study at

20. ALAN HOVHANESS On CRYSTAL: Classical CD Reviews-Jan 2000 Music On The Web(UK) Reviews of recordings by Rob Barnett from Classical CD Reviews-Feb 2000 Music on the Web(UK). http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2000/feb00/hovaness.htm

Classical Editor: Rob Barnett Music Webmaster Len Mullenger: Len@musicweb-international.com ALAN HOVHANESS on CRYSTAL The Authentic Voice ALAN HOVHANESS conducts his own music on CRYSTAL RECORDS (including many world premiere recordings) INTRODUCTION Hovhaness is among the most prolific of composers - in company with restless creators like Milhaud, Martinu and Villa-Lobos. His catalogue runs to hundreds of opus numbered works. Regretfully we must note that he destroyed stacks of early works during the 1940s. One can imagine the state of his catalogue if he had simply archived this 'juvenilia' in a University rather than burning it. Quantity is one thing - impressive as far as it goes - but what about the quality of the music? This has come in for some opprobrium from critics affronted at coming across music of the 1950s-1980s in such a frankly lyric vein. It is, they maintain, too unvaried, static and too easy to listen to. Certainly a Hovhaness symphony is easily enough recognisable but then so are the Nielsen and Martinu symphonies. This does not take away from their individual beauty, sturdy drama and slow-speaking eminence. Hovhaness has quarried Armenian, Middle Eastern, Japanese and Malaysian music yet not once does the music lapse into cheap post-card emotions or simplistic pictorialism. Hovhaness is no brother to Ketelbey but has more in common (if we must find parallels) with Percy Grainger, Vaughan Williams, Charles Griffes, John Foulds and the group who may well have found their origin in his music, the minimalists like Reich and Glass.
