	Carl Ruggles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Famous for his prickly personality, Ruggles was nonetheless friends with Henry Cowell, Edgard Varese, Charles Ives, Ruth Crawford Seeger, and Charles Seeger.
		His method of atonal counterpoint was based on a non-serial technique of avoiding repeating a pitch class until a generally fixed number such as eight pitch classes intervened.
		Ruggles was also a prolific painter, sellings hundreds of paintings during his lifetime.

	Carl Ruggles, Pioneer - As Seen by a Fellow Modernist \| Rudhyar Archival Project \| Musical Works and Writings
		Carl Ruggles, born 1876, was among the first composers to explore dissonant counterpoint and figures as one of the Ultra-Modern composers of the 1920s.
		Ruggles is one of those rebels who did not join the march into the past, who refused to revive the corpse of tonality, who are moulding the musical substance of tomorrow.
		Ruggles, in other words, writes in the twelve-tone mode, and as he wishes to hear all twelve units, or centers of "sonal" energy, with equal intensity, so that a real democracy of tones may be produced, he avoids repeating one note until as many as possible of the others have had their chance to sound.

	Press quotes
		Carlís valedictory piece explores potential elements of a work before arranging them in place as a melody endlessly unfolding over a primal harmony; the melody is at once a fulfillment and an embalming---one assumes at the end the cycle of life will resume.
		Carl's music often plays with ghostlike anticipations and reminiscences: for example, one of his most characteristic essays, Time/Memory/Shadow (1988), is written for two trios, one of which comments ethereally on materials played by the other, all leading to a nostalgic quotation of a neoclassical march Carl wrote in his youth.
		Carl transposed the dream's strange weight to music by structuring the music as a trio (violin, cello, piano) and "ghost" trio (violin, viola, harp) engaging in what develops into turbulent, sturm und drang tensions, along with the injection of an eighteenth-century motive, perhaps the composes, earlier hinted at.

	Untitled Document
		The American composer Carl Ruggles (1876-1971) has tended to be viewed very much as an isolated figure—a stubborn, reclusive, profane, “ruggedly individualist” New Englander, painstakingly creating his uncompromisingly dissonant music in the wilds of Vermont.
		Ruggles uses other procedures besides pitch-class nonrepetition, but with these too he is apt to break free and do something different and unexpected.
		Ruggles was strongly influenced by Charles Seeger’s concept of dissonant counterpoint, in which the traditional relation of consonance as the norm and dissonance as the exception is reversed.

		Carl Ruggles was a multitalented man, determined to write modern music.
		Ruggles was dependent through much of his life on patrons, friends, and his wife, Charlotte, and devoted to telling raucous, off-color stories.
		In this biography of the late American composer-artist, Marilyn Ziffrin draws on interviews with those who knew him, on letters and other papers from Ruggles's collection, and on her extensive interviews and developing friendship with him in his final years.

		Carl Ruggles (1876-1971) and Charles Ives (1874-1954) were both New Englanders born in the nineteenth century into an era of stable aesthetic judgments; both lived to see stability give way to more fluid perspectives and identities.
		Both Ruggles and the composer of the next work on the concert, Lukas Foss (born in 1922), rely on poetic inspiration; yet while Ruggles seeks to express the singular imagery of Robert Browning, Foss draws on four distinct voices: W.H. Auden, A.E. Housman, Franz Kafka, and Friedrich Nietzsche.
		The modernist cultural milieu in which Ruggles and Crawford met, and in which Crawford attempted to forge a personal and artistic identity, was one of extraordinary misogyny.

	The Spectrum Singers: May01 Notes
		Both Carl Ruggles and his good friend "Charlie" Ives were independent-thinking New Englanders, admirers of each other's uncompromising iconoclastic compositions, and unfailing in their oft- expressed impatience with the tunnel-vision focus of the musical establishment which appeared to "have their ears on wrong," as Ives so colorfully put it.
		On November 1, 1920, Carl [Ruggles] wrote Henry Cowell from Grantwood, New Jersey: "I have just finished a rhapsody for 6 horns and orchestra...horns all in unison." This was the third movement of his visionary short symphony Men and Angels...
		That's the way music should be!" Carl also mentioned that when he and Seeger were working at it together, they thought they had got just as far as possible from a then-accepted kind of music.

		Shortly after Ruggles began as a student at Harvard, he decided music was more important than education and in January, 1907, moved to Winona, Minnesota.
		Charlotte became a very important influence in Ruggles's life and it was she who suggested the poetic titles to many of his works.

		“Before further discussing the music, it seems pertinent here to recall that Ruggles was also a visual artist, a painter of individual power and creativity, recognized as such by the wide and enduring tributes to his work.
		For example, in January 1951, the Detroit Institute of Arts (which owned five paintings by Ruggles) opened a show of his works with a piano recital that included arrangements of two orchestral compositions, Angels (1920-21) and Marching Mountains (1941), and two Evocations, originally written for piano (1935-43).
		“Ruggles was also drawn to rhapsodic and mystical poets, as in Vox Clamans in Deserto, for soprano and small orchestra (1923), with settings from Robert Browning and Walt Whitman.

		During the 1920s, had Edgard Varese or Charles Ives been asked to name America's greatest living composer, the response would have been "Carl Ruggles." Forty years later, such eminent experts on American music as Nicolas Slonimsky, Virgil Thomson, and Aaron Copland would each describe Ruggles as our most technically refined composer.
		Ruggles, with Varese and Ives, was the standard-bearer of the atonal movement in this century's third decade.
