Beschreibung
Arthur Foote (5 March 1853?8 April 1937) was an American classical composer,
and a member of the 'Boston Six' - the other five were George Whitefield
Chadwick, Amy Beach, Edward MacDowell, John Knowles Paine, and Horatio
Parker. Foote's music is generally regarded as romantic and European in it's
leanings and is in a direct line of composers such as Aaron Copland, Roy
Harris and William Schuman who all helped to develop a recognizably American
'sound'. Foote was an early advocate of Brahms and Wagner and promoted
performances of their music and was an active music teacher and wrote a
number of pedagogical works, including Modern Harmony in Its Theory and
Practice (1905). Arthur Foote was a fairly prolific composer, writing in
most genres, and his music is gradually becoming better known as the rich
heritage of works by 20th-century American composers is rediscovered,
performed and recorded.
