Trevor Denis ApIvor (April 14, 1916May 27, 2004) was a British composer, part of the generation of modernists that included Humphrey Searle and Elisabeth Lutyens. Born in County Westmeath, Ireland, to Welsh parents, he went to Hereford Cathedral School then studied medicine in London, but had also pursued the study of music from an early age. He studied composition with Alan Rawsthorne and Patrick Hadley. His most successful early works included a setting of T. S. Eliot's ''The Hollow Men'' (1939), several ballets, including ''A Mirror for Witches'', with choreography by Andrée Howard (1952) and ''Blood Wedding'' (1953), and an opera ''Yerma'' (1954). Around 1960, he began composing in a serialist style. He was influenced in this by Edward Clark, a conductor, former BBC music producer, student of Arnold Schoenberg and husband of Elisabeth Lutyens. This continued until the late 1980s, when he returned to diatonic composition. ApIvor is particularly well known to guitarists, as he made a major contribution to the repertoire of their instrument. Solo works include ''Variations'' (1959), ''Discanti'' (1970), ''Saeta'' (1972), and ten serial pieces included with his book ''Serial Composition for Guitarists'' (1982). He also wrote a Concertino for guitar (1954), ''Liaison'' for guitar and keyboard (1976), and ''Cinquefoil'' for flute, guitar, and viola (1984). ==External links== * (Obituary ) from ''The Guardian'' * (Denis ApIvor (British composer) ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Denis ApIvor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
