	AllRefer.com - Edgard VarEse (Music: History, Composers, And Performers, Biography) - Encyclopedia
		A bold innovator whose early works aroused angry protests, VarEse explored entirely new rhythms and sounds in such compositions as Hyperprism (1923); IntEgrales (1925), both for wind instruments and percussion; Ionisation (1931), a sonata for percussion instruments and sirens; and PoEme Electronique (1958), which was performed at the Brussels Exposition.
		VarEse achieved highly dissonant effects by using the extreme registers of orchestral instruments in combination with electronically produced sounds.
		In his later years he completely rejected traditional rhythms, sonorities, and instruments and became a leading proponent of modern electronic music.

	Edgard Varese
		Varese was turned down for a Gughenheim grant, and no one would give him lab space to research electronic sounds.

		At the insistence of Le Corbusier, Varese was the chosen composer.

	Edgard Varese - Father of Electronic Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Varese prepared for a career as an engineer by studying mathematics and science.
		It was during this time that Varese longed for new sounds, "..in music we composers are forced to use instruments that have not changed for two centuries." (6) His profound frustration in the sounds available to him eventually led to the death of his composition muse.
		Cordu contacted Varese and told him that the piece would be called Poem Electronique, and that Varese was totally free to compose anything that he wanted.

	Edgard Varese
		Varese's concept was that of the "process of atomic charge as electrons are liberated and molecules are ionized" (Slonimsky, Music Since1900).
		Given Slonimsky's well-documented close relationship with Varese during the 1930's, his account of the piece might actually be from Varese, and in any case, when considering the transcripts from Varese's lectures, Slonimsky's account seems to be derived from Varese's ideas.
		Structurally, Varese uses sound-mass and silence as well as rhythmic cells, which are alternated, overlapped and varied throughout the piece, providing a fluid continuity and unity while various resultant events provide contrast.

	Edgard Varese and the New Music of America \| Rudhyar Archival Project \| Musical Works and Writings
		Edgard Varese was born in 1883 and came to American during 1916, a year earlier than Rudhyar.
		Varese and Rudhyar were keenly interested in discovering new musical instruments, so sounding forth new sounds, and they foresaw and welcomed the advent of electronic instruments.
		During the mid-20th Century, however, Varese was able to achieve a small degree of success with his electronic compositions, and his legacy had a significant influence on younger composers, especially Frank Zappa.

		Edgard Varese was one of the most important and influential composers of the 20th century, but somehow no English-language biography of this titan was ever published, until now.

	Edgard Varese (1883-1965)
		Varese became more known after he emigrated to the United States (a lot of Varese's works left in Europe were lost) where he faced less scepticism.
		Obviously, Varese is mainly influenced by the sciences and from what these are involving and not by the older romantic perceptions for the music.
		Varese wrote several experimental works : "Ameriques" and "Arcana" for large orchestra, a symphony with chorus, "Study for Espace" for chorus and orchestra, "Deserts" for orchestra and concrete music, "Octandre" and "Hyperprism", for winds and percussion, "Ionisation", for two percussion ensembles.

		The first recorded Varese I heard was on the VoxBox (called "Ionisation"), and five of the pieces found here are also on that disk, conducted by Cerha.
		Varese was a very talented composer and this album proves it.
		I suppose Varese may have been a 20th century pioneer (use of timbre, etc) but his music is not all that appealing to me. There are much better 20th century composers, I think.

		Just 15 compositions from his entire life (he destroyed the compositions from his early years, and was a merciless editor of his own material in general) made it out to the listening world.
		It doesn't sound like Varese, more like Debussy, and though the song is quite impressionistic, I think we presume too much to orchestrate it and pass it off as "complete" Varese.
		As far as a "Varese collection" is concerned, don't pass this one by.

	Composer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Preferring the concept of organized sound to that of music, the French-born composer Edgard Varèse exercised a strong influence on the contemporary avant-garde, particularly in the United States, where he spent some time from 1915 until 1928, when he returned to Paris.
		He returned to America in 1933, eventually finding the necessary backing for his electro-acoustic research.
		Later organized sound included Ionisation for thirteen percussion-players, completed in 1931, and Déserts, with its combination of instrumental performance and recorded tape.

		This suggests something of both the appeal of Varese's music, and the continuing potential of his influence.
		He was an original who re-thought music from the ground up, and a perfectionist who signed his name to only a handful of monumental, uncompromising works.
