- Biography
- American composer and professor of music, Henry Leland Clarke, (1907-1992), experimented with the treatment of scales in his compositions, and taught at number of institutions over the course of a long academic career. Born in Dover, New Hampshire, Clarke grew up in Saco, Maine, where he began his musical training. He attended Harvard University as an undergraduate, and later completed two graduate degrees at the same school. Clarke also furthered his musical education in Paris, with Nadia Boulanger, in New York, with Hans Weisse, and in Bennington, Vermont, with Otto Luening. Clarke held several academic positions, including stints at Bennington College, Westminster Choir College, Vassar College, the University of California at Los Angeles, and the University of Washington. He retired from the latter as professor emeritus in 1977. As a composer, Clarke developed the concept of "word tones," in which a specific pitch is assigned to each word of the text and that particular pitch is used for each occurrence of the same word. This technique perhaps is utilized most fully in Lysistrata (1972), the second of Clarke's two full-length operas. Writing under the pseudonym J. Fairbanks, Clarke also was a participant in the Composers' Collective of New York. Following his retirement, he moved to Deerfield, Massachusetts, where he lived until the time of his death.
