Stephen Joel Albert (6 February 1941 – 27 December 1992)[1] was an American composer. {{TOC right}}BiographyBorn in New York City, Albert began his musical training on the piano, French horn, and trumpet as a youngster. He first studied composition at the age of 15 with Elie Siegmeister,[2] and enrolled two years later at the Eastman School of Music, where he studied with Darius Milhaud and Bernard Rogers (1958–1960) Following composition lessons in Stockholm with Karl-Birger Blomdahl, Albert studied with Joseph Castaldo at the Philadelphia Musical Academy (BM 1962); in 1963 he worked with George Rochberg at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1965 he won a Rome Fellowship to study in Rome at the American Academy.[3] From 1985 to 1988 he worked as the Seattle Symphony's composer-in-residence.[1][4] His notable students included Daniel Asia. Albert was killed in an automobile accident in Truro, Massachusetts on Cape Cod on December 27, 1992.[5][6][7] Awards and honorsStephen Albert won the 1985 Pulitzer Prize for Music for his Symphony No. 1, RiverRun.[5][6] He posthumously won a Grammy Award in 1995 in the Best Classical Contemporary Composition category for his Cello Concerto as performed by Yo-Yo Ma[8] in a 1990 recording with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, conducted by David Zinman.[9] Aaron Jay Kernis dedicated his 1993 composition for piano quartet Still Movement with Hymn in memory of Albert.[10] The slow movement of Christopher Rouse's 1994 Symphony No. 2 is also dedicated to the memory of Albert, who was a colleague and close friend of Rouse.[11]WorksA number of his works were based on James Joyce texts, including "Tapioca Pudding," "Winter Canticle" and "Ecce puer" from Joyce's poem of the same name.[12] His famous Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra started out as a request by the Baltimore Symphony in 1987 for a 15-minute orchestral piece. In 1988 the commission was changed to a concerto for Yo-Yo Ma. The composer credited Ma with his help completing the work. Albert started with material drawn two earlier works from 1988, "Anthem and Processionals" and "The Stone Harp." He started the composition in 1989 and finished in 1990. The premiere was on March 31, 1990 and featured Yo-Yo Ma along with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra conducted by David Zinman. A revised version was featured on a 1993 album, "The New York Album."[12] According to Yo-Yo Ma, the composition was a "kind of catharsis." It incorporated struggles in his life, including his writer's blocks and the death of his father. The work is dedicated to the memory of his father.[12] Orchestral
