Emma Lou Diemeraus modern

Emma Lou Diemer (* 24 November 1927 in Kansas City, Missouri) is an American composer and music educator.

Life

She conducted her studies in composition and piano at several universities and conservatories and with many professors. She studied at the Kansas City Conservatory with Wiktor Łabuński and Gardner Read, at the same time studying organ at the University of Central Missouri with Edna Scotten Billings. From 1945 she studied composition at the Eastman School of Music with Edward Royce (composer), and from 1947 to 1950 at Yale University with Paul Hindemith and Richard Donovan (composer), achieving a Bachelor’s degree here in 1949 and a Master of Music in 1950. From 1952 to 1953 she studied composition with Jean Absil in Brussels as part of the Fulbright programme. She then returned to the USA, studying composition at Tanglewood with Ernst Toch (1954), Roger Sessions (1955) and again at the Eastman School of Music with Bernard Rogers and Howard Hanson – where she received her doctorate in 1960 with her Symphony on American Indian Themes.

From 1959 to 1961 she worked for the Ford Foundation Young Composers Project. From 1964 to 1965 she was a consultant composer with the Contemporary Music Project of Music Educators. The University of Maryland appointed her assistant professor of music theory and composition from 1965 to 1970. From 1971 she taught at the University of California at Santa Barbara as Professor of Music Theory and Composition until 1991, when she became Professor Emeritus at the same institution. Since 1940 she has also been active as an organist, among others at the First Church of Christ Scientist (1973-1984) and at the First Presbyterian Church in Santa Barbara (1984-2001).

Her oeuvre comprises some 500 compositions. Among her best-known works are Three Madrigals to texts by Shakespeare. Her stylistic spectrum ranges from tonal to atonal, from neoclassical to experimental, from sacred to secular, from orchestral works to electronic music.
