David Felder is one of the most popular and richest Composer who was born on November 27, 1953 in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. Felder was born in Cleveland, Ohio on November 27, 1953. He as a child, he became a member of Cleveland Orchestra Chorus. Cleveland Orchestra Chorus in which was a tenor under the direction of Music Director Pierre Boulez. He was awarded an undergraduate degree in 1975 and a Master of Music in 1975 and an M.A. of Music in 1977, both from Miami University. Felder was able to spend the following two years living in Cleveland instructing Electronic Music and Recording at The Cleveland Institute of Music and was studying composition in private in the company of Donald Erb, until Spring of 1979. He then pursued an Ph.D. on Music Composition from The University of California, San Diego where he worked with Roger Reynolds, Bernard Rands, Robert Erickson, and Joji Yuasa. The Ph.D. finished in 1983.

It is possible to draw a philosophical conclusion from the unbroken thread running throughout the five chamber music-like pieces presented as an illustration that shows the stunning tension between graceful and dangerous activity as well as static, distant peace; the complexity and precision in the performance of the ensemble and the instrument as well as the diverse harmony “colorfulness”. The immediate access to this music that is not compromising or remain subordinate to the “saleable” idiom is undeniable and its distinct strength and power makes for a sound-aesthetic bursting with sexual erupts. This is particularly true of the two pieces written for the chamber orchestra, three Lines taken from “Twenty Poems” (1987) and Journal (1990). In these two pieces, David Felder proves himself not just as a composer who knows how to focus and utilize the subtle nuances of instruments however, he also proves himself as a composer who can utilize at the same time an acute sense of the perfect balance between various tension-fields. Sky (1992), composed for November Sky (1992) composed for flute, features the use of an NeXT Computer to create in the real world a multi-layered, improved and varying sound; (it will be) the result of an “in and out swelling” The song is more than 16 minutes in duration with a dynamic exchange of melancholy and joy. The quartet movement, Third Face (1988-98) It is an instant hit due to its unassuming intensity and dramatic nature The small number of quiet sections help to intensify the finale, not the relaxing. Through Canzone XXXI (1993), Felder devotes his attention to the refreshingly direct way that is characteristic of Brass Music of the 16th-century Venetian tradition. These small examples demonstrate the directness of the music, unaffected by pressure, personalistic, and solely dictated by the mystical power of the music.

Felder’s music has often been noted for its virtuosic instrumental writing, integration and juxtaposition of contrasting stylistic influences, unpredictable and often explosive energy, and remarkable directness. In Neue Musikzeitung’s review of the 1995 Bridge Records release, “The Music of David Felder”, they offer an overview of the contrasts and stylistic forces at play in Felder’s musical works,

Different currents, and strong ones, are driving beneath the turbulent surfaces of David Felder’s music, where a still-robust modernism, with inheritances in particular from Stravinsky and Varèse, sports with aspects of popular music from big-band to electronica. At the same time, though, we are being taken back to the most basic elements of music: a single note (the start of Requiescat), a single interval (the start of Incendio), pulse (everywhere). Across the range of more than a quarter-century, from Rocket Summer (1983) to Requiescat (2010), Felder’s imperatives have remained remarkably stable, and yet the variety of his means and aims makes it useful to have, almost like a museum guide taking us through the collection…
