Music



Statement by the composer: As a student at Yale I wrote in the atonal and 12-tone idioms, Later I often mixed atonal and tonal styles; seriously as in Memorial 3 and, satirically, in "Schratkonzert" from the Schratlieder and in No. 5 of the Variations for Wind Quartet, to take two examples. In general, my style has become more tonal since my earlier days.

Because of my association with Mason Martens (Memorial 3 is in his memory.), an editor and church musician, I developed a "church" style influenced by French music: Fauré and Poulenc in particular. Carillon is in this style, though written a long time after this period.

Life

Among his piano teachers were Elise Braun-Barnett at the Henry Street Settlement Music School, ElIsworth Grumman at Yale and Nadia Reisenberg at the Mannes College of Music. His composition studies at Yale were with Mel Powell and H. Leroy Baumgartner.

In 1963 he played a piano recital tour of Mexico under the U.S. Information Service and in 1994, played a recital of music by Louis Moreau Gottschalk on the Queen Elizabeth 2.

Among Mr. Gold’s recordings for Musical Heritage Society are "Gottschalk Piano Music" released in 1973 (MHS 1629), piano music of J.L. Dussek (1974- MHS1966), "Romantic Cello Encores" with Albert Catell (1971- MHS 1219) and "Music by Israeli Composers (1973- MHS 1653/1654) with various artists and to which he also contributed an arrangement of the song "Y’rushalayim".

In recent years, Mr. Gold has composed entirely on the computer and has sequenced his own music as well as the music of others, including Elgar, Schumann, Liszt, and Brahms. These are on file at Classical Archives,
