Albert Glinsky Biography

Albert Glinsky is one of the most popular and richest Composer who was born on December 9, 1952 in United States, United States.

Another compositional area Glinsky has explored is electronic music, prompted by the work he did at the New York University studios in the mid-1980s with a variety of digital and analog synthesizers including the alphaSyntauri, Voyetra-8, Serge, Buchla, Moog, McLeyvier, Aries, Yamaha DX7, and the Fairlight CMI. His interest in ‘art rock’ artists, some of whom were using these instruments on their albums, sparked a series of short compositions created entirely in the studio. The composer’s 1995 piece on the subject of homelessness, Day Walker, Night Wanderer, is a 45-minute dramatic work for chamber ensemble, solo vocalist, and an electronic score. It was commissioned for the Philadelphia-based new music ensemble, Relâche, which created the premiere. In his program notes for the first performance, Glinsky wrote, “Stylistically, the work draws upon many resources: the integration of rock and jazz elements which characterize my work as a whole; an interest in electronic sound collage from my days at the electronic music studios of New York University; and a long standing fascination with the music of such ‘concept rockers’ as Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel. In short, I have attempted to join together ‘art song’ and ‘art rock’ in an amalgam which draws the deeper levels of psychological exploration from the one, and weds it to the spontaneity and directness of the other.”

American Record Guide remarked on Glinsky’s success in combining disparate styles in Sunbow (1983), which “reflects the world of unmeasured preludes beloved by his wife, Linda Kobler (the harpsichordist for whom the work was written) and his own zest for rock music (he cites Stevie Wonder as the inspiration . . .) Believe it or not, the combination works and the results are a lot more sophisticated than you’d think.” Glinsky’s blending of pop and classical influences has also been noted in Toccata-Scherzo (1988), defined by American critic Alex Ross as “an encore-like showpiece driven by a pop pulse.” Similarly, Glinsky’s Piano Concerto (1993) was characterized as “a modern classical work heavily influenced by contemporary pop and rock music. The synthesis of styles—a Glinsky trademark—provides not only an overall, idiomatic effect but specific musical nuggets—points of inspiration drawn from contemporary performers such as folk rocker Suzanne Vega… or British concept rocker Kate Bush.”

Since his earliest student days at Juilliard, Glinsky forged a style based on the melding of contemporary popular musics with classical traditions—one of the first composers to cross-pollinate such radically different musical styles. The American writer and music critic, Tim Page observed that, “Glinsky’s work is generated by American popular music, and is cast in a traditional framework of gesture and form.” The first piece to fully incorporate this idea was the Rhapsody for Solo Violin, Flute, Strings, and Timpani (1971-1974), described variously by critics as evoking, “the hoedown sound of Kentucky bluegrass,” and employing, “pentatonic, a dash of Blues, Country, pop and quartal harmonies…skillfully and organically mixed.” The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that the Rhapsody, “effectively translates…‘folk- rock music and other popular musics’ into an orchestral format.”
