Boston School (music)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Boston School (also called the Stravinsky School) was a group of composers, most of them Jewish, from Boston, Massachusetts who were influenced by the neoclassicism of Igor Stravinsky:[1]
- Arthur Berger[1][2][3][4]
- Irving Fine[1][2][3][4]
- Lukas Foss[1][2][3][4]
- Alexei Haieff[2][4]
- Harold Shapero[1][2][3][4]
- Claudio Spies[2]
- Leonard Bernstein[3]
- Ingolf Dahl[2]
- John Lessard[2][4]
- Louise Talma[5]
Many of them studied with Nadia Boulanger.[2] Irving Fine described the music of Stravinsky and his followers as "diatonic and tonal or quasi-modal", pandiatonic, and concerned with chord spacing and rhythm.[2]
