Janet Maguire (born 1927 in Chicago) is an American composer residing in Venice, Italy. She is known particularly for her arrangement of the finale of Giacomo Puccini's ''Turandot'', in which she used exclusively the sketches Puccini left for it at his death. Maguire is also known for her dramatic contemporary opera in three acts, ''Hérésie,'' and has worked in a wide variety of musical expressions throughout some fifty orchestral, chamber, solo, vocal, choral and stage works. == Biography == Born in Chicago and raised in New Rochelle, New York, Janet Maguire began musical studies at the age of six: on piano, French horn, and cornet. She completed a BA degree in Piano at Colorado College, then went to Paris to study composition with René Leibowitz for five years. They co-authored the book ''Thinking for Orchestra'' (published by G. Schirmer), and a book about the orchestration of Jacques Offenbach selections, ''Nuits Parisiennes'' (RCA, Bote & Bock) as well as Carl Maria von Weber’s opera ''Die Drei Pintos''. Several summers spent at the Darmstadt Ferienkurse influenced Maguire's style, as did the music of György Ligeti, Luigi Nono, and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Maguire continues to develop independent paths in musical thought with the help of several musicians specializing in experimental music. Maguire was the recipient of the 2008 Guggenheim Fellowship as well as a residence at Copland House (2006). Maguire was music critic for the ''Paris Herald Tribune'' while she lived in Paris. After moving to Venice, she founded and was elected president of the association Musica in Divenire, organizing new music concerts. Her compositions have been heard throughout Italy and Germany, and in France, Spain, Ireland, the UK, the US, Austria, Canada, Argentina, Australia, Latvia and Bulgaria. New World Records issued a CD with seven of her works, and Albany Records released a CD with ten of her works in 2009. 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「Janet Maguire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
