Rebecca Saunders Biography

Rebecca Saunders is one of the most popular and richest Composer who was born on December 19, 1967 in London, England, United Kingdom. Rebecca Saunders, a London-born composer, lives in Berlin and works as a freelancer. The number of votes for Saunders’ compositions in the 2017 Classic Voice poll about the best works of art music was 30. This was only surpassed by the works by Georg Friedrich Haas (49) and Simon Steen–Andersen (35).

In 2010 and 2012, she taught at the Darmstadt International Summer Courses and was composer-in-residence at the Konzerthaus Dortmund from 2005-2006, Staatskapelle Dresden from 2009-2010, and Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival in 2010.

For me, what’s really important is enabling the listener to feel the magical physicality of sound, the timbre, the colour, the mass, the weight, of sound. That’s what I feel I’m working with, almost like a sculptor works with different materials.

Much of Saunders’s music is based upon a single pitch, or sometimes a small collection of pitches which govern large sections of music. Therefore, development and elaboration are determined more by sonority and texture rather than traditional voice leading. However, she does sometimes include “quasi- diatonic” pitch collections, which suggest a more traditional context than that of her music based on single notes.

Fabio Luisi, Staatskapelle Dresden and the Staatskapelle Dresden presented the UK premiere of Saunders’ revision of traces at 2009 Proms.
