Draft:Andrew Violette

Andrew Violette (December 6, 1953 - April 16, 2021) was an American composer, pianist, organist, and synthesizer player.

Biography edit

Andrew Violette was born in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated in 1971 from the High School of Music & Art, and in 1975 he graduated from The Juilliard School with B.M and M.M. degrees[1], studying composition with Roger Sessions and Elliott Carter, counterpoint with Otto Luening, and ear training with Reneé Longy. He participated in masterclasses, including one with Pierre Boulez.[2] During his time at Juilliard he also performed as a pianist, premiering SUN, by Tod Machover.[3] Violette was the recipient of the Lado Prize in Composition in 1972.[4] He was awarded a Juilliard teaching fellowship in the 1974-1975 school year.

In 1975-1976, Violette began concurrent assignments as Organist and Music Director at the Lutheran Church of Our Savior's Atonement and Music Director of the Cornerstone Center concert series, both in upper Manhattan. These responsibilities continued until 1988. During this same period (1975-1988), he was active as a solo recitalist, accompanist, and recording artist in his own compositions and in the music of others, including appearances on eight vinyl LP records released on the Opus One label[5], and concerts at Weill Recital Hall, Fordham University and Sarah Lawrence College, among other venues.

Several of Mr. Violette's compositions were choreographed and performed by a number of dance troupes, including Battery Dance Company[6], the Paul Sanasardo Dance Company[7], and at the Merce Cunningham Studio.[8] Violette was Music Director of Battery Dance Company, Jonathan Hollander, choreographer; Music Director of Paul Sanasardo Dance Company; and, Music Director of Peggy Florin Dancers. He accompanied dance classes for Merce Cunningham, Janet Panetta, Robert Blankshine and Nenette Charisse.

Violette also served as the accompanist for the Metropolitan Greek Chorale.[9]

Mr. Violette was the recipient of seven Meet The Composer grants between 1977 and 1987, and was a MacDowell Fellow in 1983 and 1984[10].

Between 1978 and 1992, Mr. Violette was several times the featured composer and pianist on Concert Grande, a radio program that aired on WFUV.[11]

In 1988, Andrew Violette entered St. Mary's Monastery, Petersham, MA, to become ordained as a Benedictine monk. He became known as Brother Augustine Violette and was clothed as a novice in 1990. In 1994, Violette left St. Mary's Monastery to study to become a priest at the Seminary of the Immaculate Conception in Huntington, NY.

In 1996, Violette left the seminary and, in the summer, hiked the Appalachian Trail.[12] He then resumed his professional career as a composer and performing musician. He took the post of Organist and Music Director at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church, Brooklyn, NY, a position he held through 2019. At St. Augustine, he founded the St. Augustine Schola Cantorum, a mixed chorus wherein parishioners sing Gregorian chant a capella, traditional hymns and polyphony in four part harmony. In addition to his church duties, Violette focused on performing and recording his own music for his YouTube channel, and on the CRI, Innova Recordings, New Focus Recordings, and Composers Concordance Records labels.[13][14][15] He appeared in concert at Merkin Hall, Boston Conservatory, and Bard College, among other venues.

A number of Violette's recordings and concerts included detailed program notes.[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]

In 2004, Andrew Violette was a guest on the Kalvos & Damian radio show, discussing his life and music.[24][25][26]

Violette is thanked on the dedication page of Janice Weber's 2012 novel, Swing Set.

During the last ten years of his life, in addition to continuing to compose and record, Violette revised and edited a majority of his compositions. Among his final works are four symphonies, St. Mark Passion, and Pentecost (a setting of the gospel of John 20: 1-29).

Most of Violette's compositions, along with his performances of music by other composers, can be heard on his YouTube channel, SpecialEditions999[27]. A large selection of Violette's scores can be found on imslp.org.[28]

The Music edit

Andrew Violette composed a wide variety of sacred and secular compositions, over ninety in number, some lasting under a minute, others taking over 3 hours to perform. His earliest surviving compositions date from 1969 and 1970. These compositions use extended tonality (e.g., Fugue in B minor, Fantasy), modal writing (Pistis Sophias), and twelve-tone compositional techniques (e.g., Fugamericana, 3 Little Pieces). In the 1970s, Violette composed works in twelve-tone idioms[29], culminating in the piano sonata cycle comprising sonatas 1, 2 and 3 (1978-1979), one a sonata in classical form, the second, a contemporary sonata in minimalist style, and the third, a sonata in the romantic vein. Piano Sonata 3 in particular is notable for being the first instance of Violette's forays into large scale form. The sonata has 14 sections and is played as one movement lasting about 70 minutes. Material from Chopin's Polonaise-Fantasy runs through the whole piece.

Violette's compositions written in the 1980s are based on a tritonal modal system of the composer's own devising, and on the whole tend to be longer than his earlier compositions.[29] Organbook, composed in 1981, employs the modes in a series of progressively more complex contrapuntal forms. Harmonizations, composed in 1982 and subtitled by the composer as "Another Look at 101 Beloved Lutheran Chorales", codifies by example how these modes can be used to produce four-part settings of hymn melodies.

Violette's compositions from the mid-1990s onward continued his exploration of new formal structures. Compositional techniques became more eclectic and interwoven.[30][31] Triadic sounds became more prominent.[32] There was a growing preoccupation with continuous melody; that is, a sustained melodic line that can be traced (or sung) throughout a composition’s duration. Violette’s most extended compositions date from this period. These include: Mass, String Quartet 7, Piano Sonata 7, Organ Sonata, St. Mark Passion, Sonata for unaccompanied Violin, and Symphony #4.

Rave (composed 2001-2005) consists of 22 sections played without interruption.[33] Piano Sonata 7, composed in 2001, lasts about three hours and has 26 parts, also played without pause.[34] These works contain the first instances of "colorfield", a musical form pioneered by Mr. Violette and influenced by the New York City Color Field painters.[35] The “color” in this context is composed of sets of pitches that change gradually over an extended period of time. Each demarcation (i.e., section) within a colorfield is sometimes referred to as a “panel”. Rave also contains an example of Violette’s “performance” form, which is taken up again in his Six Performances, composed in 2002, wherein six distinct compositions are performed simultaneously, though not necessarily precisely together.[36]

Piano Sonata 7 was chosen by Richard Dyer, former music critic of the Boston Globe, as one of the best CDs of 2003[37].

Violette said of his longer works: “Why is the music so long? ...It's long because music exists not only in sound but in time and only through time can character change. In my non-vocal writing it's the themes which change. In my vocal writing the character of both the piano and the vocal part change -- and the change is never achieved without a struggle.”[32]

I want the listener to be engulfed by unfolding time. I want the listener to experience the work not from the outside but to step into the work like a big painting. To me, this makes the long piece "intimate and human" as Mark Rothko would say.

From the performer's perspective, Violette's music makes unusual demands in terms of endurance, agility, athleticism, and pattern recognition. Of his playing, John Rockwell of The New York Times wrote that Violette “played this overtly virtuosic music with fierce authority.”[38]
