	Otto Luening: Obituary Independent, The (London) - Find Articles

		Otto Luening's career spanned most of his near-century of life: born in 1900, he died in 1996, still composing regularly even in his last days.
		While Otto is well known for his flute pieces, short orchestral works, and pioneering work in electronic music (with Vladimir Ussachevsky, he founded the famous Columbia- Princeton Electronic Music lab in the 1950s), his music for solo voice is a significant, essentially unrecorded repertoire -- one that was especially important to Otto throughout his career.
		Otto Luening was also a tireless advocate of contemporary American music and of the importance of the arts in late-20th-century life.

	Review/Music; For Otto Luening at 90, an Evening's Choral Tribute - New York Times
		Luening's, the New England composers were, stylistically, creatures of the 19th century, whereas the Wisconsin native has done much to shape style in the 20th, not least with his pioneering of electronic composition.
		Luening is an innovator, not an iconoclast -by his own description, a composer ''not content to be either a traditionalist who moves slowly forward or an avant-gardist who never looks back.'' The juxtaposition of styles might have worked had the choices of the older composers' works not been quite so insipid.
		Luening writes, ''represents a vision of life that we are in: with the shadows of defeats and death, but also with the joyous moments.'' It presents a kaleidoscopic array of almost 30 aphoristic movements, using various combinations of choristers and soloists, either a cappella or accompanied -sometimes lushly, more often pointillistically - by the instrumentalists.

	Otto Luening
		When Otto Luening passed away in 1996 at age 96, both the century and an important era of twentieth century American music were drawing to a close.

		Luening, a composer whose background included directing operas and musicals and even a short stint as actor and stage manager, was reluctant to accept the post, since it came with a salary of $5,000, a reduction of $500 from his current position at Bennington College in Vermont.
		Luening accepted the offer with relief, for he was becoming overwhelmed with the difficulties of recruiting players and arranging rehearsals during wartime.

		In 1952 he was joined by Otto Luening and the two of them were soon doing short pieces improvising on traditional instruments and using tape manipulation to alter them.

		The first part, by Luening, ends with a cadenza for tape sounds, and the second part, by Ussachevsky, uses much antiphonal interplay between the orchestra and the tape.
