Beschreibung
John Alexander was born in West Sussex in 1942 and began to compose at the
age of 20. At the time he discovered a fascination for art, literature,
dance, architecture and sculpture and these topics, along with mathematics,
have continued to have a bearing on his work. He studied composition with
Edmund Rubbra at the Guildhall School of Music in London, and later with
Jonathan Harvey and Peter Wiegold at the University of Sussex. John
Alexander has never been a prolific composer, but an impressive and growing
body of work reflects a rare eye for detail and structure - each work
beautifully crafted and reworked until every inflection, detail and nuance is
perfect. Probably best described as a miniaturist, he writes in a fluent,
independent and strongly personal style with an intense desire to create
music which communicates to both performer and audience alike. In 1999 John
Alexander won the 1st BIBF Composition Contest and was invited to be a judge
for several BIBF competitions. He was a featured composer at Bass-Fest 2001,
was an spnm short-listed composer for three years, and was
Composer-in-residence at the 2004 Rotterdam Conservatoire Double Bass
Weekend, Bass-Fest 2006 and 2007 Wells Double Bass Weekend. His works have
been performed and broadcast throughout the world and he was written an
impressive and unique body of work for double bass.
