[ANPPOM-Lista] Elliot Carter 1908-2012

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

Acho interessante ressaltar que Carter nasceu no exato mesmo dia que Noel
Rosa, porém dois anos *antes*.

Carter faria 104 anos em pouco mais de um mês (e Noel Rosa 102, claramente).

> Yesterday, Elliott Carter’s publisher, Boosey and Hawkes, announced the
> news that one of America’s greatest composers had passed away at 103.
> Carter’s centurion career was so enduring, his output so age-defying, that
> new terms – ‘late maturity’, ‘post-maturity’ – had to be invented to
> capture the work of his ninth, tenth and eleventh decades. Some of us even
> began to wonder whether we would ever hear this news, sad though it is.
> When I received the email from Boosey’s this morning the headline seemed so
> improbable I passed over it at first.

> The great range and diversity of his music has, and will continue to have,

> Urban and “machine-age” sounds and gestures did not interest him; they
> were too much of the moment. He wanted a modernism beyond fashion, rooted
> in a new kind of syntax, and to achieve that some European sophistication
> would be necessary. All the things he had absorbed would eventually find a
> place his modernist idiom: the idea of dramatic personages found in Mozart
> operas, the independent layers of English madrigals, the syntactic rigour
> of Arnold Schoenberg – and the combination of strict and free rhythm in
> jazz pianists he admired, such as Art Tatum.

> One felt more sure of things in his presence, as if his own amazing
> single-mindedness created its own aura. He was able to be so genially
> tolerant of music we all knew he must despise, like minimalism, because he
> was so sure of his own path.

> The third of “the three Cs” of American music, Carter, like his

> did much to define the American sound in the 20th century. Restless,
> inquiring and perpetually up to date, his music tended to be
> ever-changeable, and his most important contribution was rhythmic
> invention. He resisted a constricting regular pulse, seeking instead a more
> organic way of thinking about time. [...]

> Carter’s sense of rhythm and meter had its mathematical component as well.
> He experimented with the effects of playing different melodies at different
> speeds at the same time. But this technique, rather than making everything
> sound at cross purposes, rewarded anyone willing to concentrate hard enough
> with the experience of relativity without the bother of space flight.
