Michael Page Carnes (1950) is an American composer of contemporary classical music. ==Life and career== Carnes was born in North Carolina. The son of a piano teacher, he received his first formal musical training on trumpet in the public schools. He formed and played in several rock bands beginning in the late 1960s. While originally a performer of popular music and jazz, Carnes became interested in classical music and resumed his education. He studied composition under John Bavicchi at Berklee College of Music where he received his BA in 1977, John Thow and Theodore Antoniou at Boston University where he received his Masters in Music in 1980 and later with Rudi Martinus van Dijk and Gunther Schuller. His early works were largely tonal and reflective of jazz. These include a number of guitar etudes. In the years that followed, his music became more strongly chromatic, without an obvious tonal center. Principal works from this period include ''Fantasy Music 1'' (for flute and taped electronic sounds),'' Fantasy Music 2'' (for harpsichord and taped electronic sounds), and ''Marimba Concerto''. An intermediate period included ''Brass Quintet #2'', ''War Songs'' (for voice and taped electronic sounds), and ''Variations'' (computer). More recently, his style has moved into a more flexible variant of the 12-tone technique. Recent works include'' Brass Quintet #3'', ''Symphony: Challenger'' and ''Proper Motion'' (trio for flute, clarinet, piano) which had its world premiere at the Park City and Salt Lake City International Music Festival in 2005.〔Reichel (21 August 2005)〕 During his years in Boston, Carnes was a member of the "Composers in Red Sneakers" collective.〔Cleary (June 2000) p. 13〕 In 1985, the group inaugurated the 8th season of contemporary music at New York's Symphony Space.〔Page (6 October 1985)〕 Amongst the pieces on the program were two songs for mezzo-soprano and marimba by Carnes set to texts by e.e. cummings with Nancy Zeltsman on the marimba.〔Holland (13 October 1985)〕 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「Michael Carnes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
