	TOCCATA - Composer index of John Alden Carpenter
		Carpenter first won national acclaim in the early 1910s for his songs, which revealed a sophisticated literary sensibility and a refined assimilation of contemporary European musical trends, but also a unique character, often alternating elegiac melancholy and whimsical humour, that many listeners found distinctively American.
		This depiction of a day in the life of a baby, inspired by Carpenter’s only child, Ginny, represented an unusual conceit sooner encountered in comic strips than in music, and the work, in fact, was selected by Walt Disney for an ultimately aborted sequel to Fantasia.
		Carpenter derived some of the themes from the earlier work, but he so overhauled the material that one best views the 1917 version as a rough sketch for this later work.

	John Alden Carpenter's Skyscrapers
		Carpenter then mounted the ballet at the Metropolitan Opera House in 1926.
		Although the ballet scenario was worked out after the music had been composed, Carpenter planned from the beginning to capture the dynamics of Americans at work and at play.

	Classics Today.com - Your Online Guide to Classical Music
		The absence of a really good disc devoted to the music of John Alden Carpenter has long been one of the most glaring lacunae in the American classical music catalog.
		Carpenter's music achieves originality through a synthesis of various elements: a solidly traditional educational background (he studied with, among others, John Knowles Paine and Edward Elgar); a touch of French impressionism (especially in the orchestration); and reference to American popular song and dance modes, including jazz.
		At times in the Second Symphony's finale, you become conscious of the fact that the orchestra isn't quite comfortable with the syncopated rhythms, but then Carpenter's writing is frequently very exposed, and the problem is minor at best.
