Carl Ruggles (born Charles Sprague Ruggles; March 11, 1876 – October 24, 1971) was an American composer, painter and teacher. His pieces employed "dissonant counterpoint", a term coined by fellow composer and musicologist Charles Seeger to describe Ruggles' music. His method of atonal counterpoint was based on a non-serial technique of avoiding repeating a pitch class until a generally fixed number of eight pitch classes intervened. He is considered a founder of the ultramodernist movement of American composers that included Henry Cowell and Ruth Crawford Seeger, among others. He had no formal musical education, yet was an extreme perfectionist — writing music at a painstakingly slow rate and leaving behind a very small output.

dbo:abstract
  • Carl Ruggles (eigentlich Charles Sprague Ruggles, * 11. März 1876 in , Massachusetts; † 24. Oktober 1971 in Bennington, Vermont) war ein US-amerikanischer Komponist und Maler. Ruggles war Schüler von Albert Spalding und John Knowles Paine. Von 1908 bis 1912 leitete er das Symphonie Orchestra in Minneapolis. Er lebte dann in Arlington und wurde 1937 Kompositionslehrer an der Universität von Miami. Ruggles komponierte nur wenige Stücke in einem sehr persönlichen, mit ihrem Dissonanzenreichtum an den Expressionismus erinnernden und stark kontrapunktisch durchgeformten Stil, die er mehrfach umarbeitete und neu instrumentierte. Sein gesamtes Werk dauert zusammengerechnet nur etwa 80 Minuten. Allerdings sind die Werke, bedingt durch ihre lange und sorgfältige Ausarbeitung, durchweg als bedeutend anzusehen. Ruggles war der Zwölftonmusik gegenüber eher skeptisch eingestellt. So äußerte er einmal: „The row is a dog chasing its tail“ („Die [Zwölfton-] Reihe ist ein Hund, der seinen Schwanz jagt“). Er zählte zu den American Five, einer losen Gruppe avantgardistischer Komponisten, der außer ihm Charles Ives, Wallingford Riegger, Henry Cowell und John J. Becker zugerechnet werden. Im Alter betätigte sich Ruggles überwiegend als Maler. Seine Bilder stehen dem abstrakten Expressionismus nahe. 1954 wurde er in die American Academy of Arts and Letters gewählt. (de)

He had no formal musical education, yet was an extreme perfectionist — writing music at a painstakingly slow rate and leaving behind a very small output. Famous for his prickly personality, Ruggles was nonetheless close friends with Cowell, Seeger, Edgard Varèse, Charles Ives, and the painter Thomas Hart Benton. His students include the experimental composers James Tenney and Merton Brown. Conductor Michael Tilson Thomas has championed Ruggles' music, recording the complete works with the Buffalo Philharmonic and occasionally performing Sun-Treader with the San Francisco Symphony. Especially later in life, Ruggles was also a prolific painter, selling hundreds of paintings during his lifetime. (en)
