		I was pleasantly surprised by Charles Wuorinen’s two-piano transcription of Arnold Schoenberg’s Opus 31 Variations for Orchestra, a version much more romantic in sound than the thickish Brahms-sounding original, and at the same time far clearer and more involving in its unfolding.
		Wuorinen’s work, played by the Rascher Quartet, was a richly layered and gorgeously dovetailed exploration of transforming material.
		Wuorinen is a composer of acuity, vision and striking resourcefulness.

		Wuorinen garnered widespread acclaim for his first large-scale professional works, among them a series of Chamber Concertos, one each for cello, violin, flute and oboe.
		Wuorinen reasoned that if this linkage could influence musical time in a local way, it might be able to do so in a more global fashion: small intervals could imply short musical sections within a work’s formal plan; large ones could imply longer musical stretches.
		Wuorinen’s large corpus of significant work, and his willingness to explore in a profound way every important genre of Western music, makes his achievement a powerful compendium of late twentieth century musical thought.

		One of America's leading composers, Charles Wuorinen (born 1938) has produced a vast body of work in all genres.
		Wuorinen describes himself as a 'maximalist' -- in the sense that any musical tool is 'fair game' for use in his rich composition palate.
		Drawing on a personal harmonic language forged from post-serial structures, Wuorinen brings a tremendous musicality to his work -- never forgetting that no matter how complicated music can become, it is always meant to be heard and not just studied on the page.

		For many, many years I have avoided the music of Charles Wuorinen, not from any real aversion to the music, but from the prejudice that he was nothing more than a brilliant student of Milton Babbitt who did rather similar music, witty, but dry and academic.
		Wuorinen's serial music is rigorous, but points out the fallacy of considering 12 tone music "atonal".

		Wuorinen, however, doesn´t borrow any elements from Creole folklore, but simply stresses the festive character of the dances.

		An indication of Wuorinen's importance is the fact that in 1975 Stravinsky's widow gave Wuorinen the composer's last sketches for use in A Reliquary for Igor Stravinsky.

	On Ages
		Wuorinen got the kids (not kids; whatever they are; whatever age this is) arguing, even if it was just the post-presentation expression of their affront at his chosen phrasings and his frank self-admiration, some of which may have been voiced primarily to amuse the man himself.
		And Wuorinen was dead right in all his observations—"Our [school] system can't even teach us to read words; it's ridiculous to think it could do it with music." "It's not fair to blame the blue-haired symphony ladies or the opera queens...because by definition, a public or audience is something that's waiting to be led.
		Where I part ways with Wuorinen's thinking is that he doesn't seem to share my sense of what an individual is: just one instanciation of a species, neither primarily unique nor primarily similar.

	American Composers Orchestra -October 8, 2003 - Carnegie Hall
		Charles Wuorinen’s Grand Bamboula is a string orchestra piece dating from 1970.
		One of four works by Wuorinen carrying the title “Bamboula,” these pieces owe their titles to composer/pianist Louis Moreau Gottschalk, who appropriated the moniker from a Creole dance.
		In keeping with its inspiration, Wuorinen’s Grand Bamboula is energetic, extroverted, and celebratory, with a harmonic and technical rigor that have justifiably earned Wuorinen the reputation as one of America’s most influential thinkers and uncompromising musical practitioners.

		Unfortunately the beauty of the site is not matched by the beauty of its acoustics since microphones and speakers were required to allow the string quartet to be heard.
		The 25 minute Wuorinen quartet (I did not time it; the program notes by the composer described it as lasting 26 minutes) was remarkable in its ability to demand your attention with no perceptible melody.
		The opening was a vigorous, knotty prelude to the remaining 90 percent of the work which is one long thread of interlocking phrases creating chords which never hint at a cadence.
