The first comprehensive study of the late music of one of the most influential composers of the last half century, this book places Elliott Carter' s music from 1995 to 2012 in the broader context of post-war contemporary concert music, including his own earlier work. It addresses Carter' s reception history, his aesthetics, and his harmonic and rhythmic practice, and includes detailed essays on all of Carter' s major works after 1995. Special emphasis is placed on Carter' s settings of contemporary modernist poetry from John Ashbery to Louis Zukofsky. In readable and engaging prose, Elliott Carter' s Late Music illuminates a body of late work that stands at the forefront of the composer' s achievements.
