Mary Ellen Childs (born April 13, 1957 in Lafayette, Indiana) is an American composer and multimedia artist and founder of the ensemble ''Crash''. She grew up as a dancer and writes music often influenced by dance rhythms. She currently administers the McKnight Artist Fellowships for Dance.〔For a video of a discussion of Childs with four winners of the fellowship, see http://ias.umn.edu/2012/09/13/solo-dancer-as-driver/〕 Her music is chiefly for small instrumental groups, especially for percussion, string groups or solo piano, and it usually has an essential theatrical or visual dimension. Her collaboration with accordionist Guy Klucevsek led to several works for that instrument. Her works have been widely performed by major ensembles, including a commission from the Kronos Quartet.〔Kronos Quartet commission of Mary Ellen Childs's "(Four of One of Another )."〕 Her 2007 recording of ''Dream House'' features the string quartet ETHEL. Reviews of her work have been published in newspapers nationwide, including The New York Times.〔Steve Smith, "(Worlds Colliding but Never Crashing )." Rev. of Bang on a Can Marathon. The New York Times, June 28, 2010.〕 She is based in the twin city Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota area. ==Discography== *''Kilter'' (Experimental Intermedia, 1996) *''Dream House'' (Innova Recordings, 2007) 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「Mary Ellen Childs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
