Short bio Elodie Lauten
Full biography Elodie Lauten
Elodie Lauten was a French-born American composer who was known for her unique blend of classical, avant-garde, and electronic music. Her compositions were characterized by their intricate harmonies, unconventional tonalities, and use of electronic instruments and synthesizers.
Lauten was born in 1950 in Paris, France, and began her musical career as a self-taught guitarist and pianist. She later studied composition and music theory at New York University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree. After completing her studies, she began composing music in earnest, drawing inspiration from a wide range of musical genres, including classical, jazz, and world music.
One of Lauten's most notable works is her opera "Waking in New York," which premiered in 1989 to critical acclaim. The opera explores the themes of urban life, love, and loss, and features a complex orchestral score that incorporates elements of jazz and avant-garde music. Another notable work of Lauten's is her chamber opera "The Death of Don Juan," which explores the story of the legendary seducer through a series of dreamlike tableaus.
Throughout her career, Lauten collaborated with a variety of musicians, writers, and artists in the creation of multimedia projects that blended music, visuals, and spoken word. She was also a vocal advocate for gender equality in the classical music world, and often spoke out against the marginalization of female composers.
Elodie Lauten passed away in 2014, leaving behind a legacy of innovative and compelling music. Her compositions continue to be performed and studied by musicians and scholars around the world, and she is remembered as a trailblazing figure in the world of contemporary classical music.
