2 unusual facts about David Del Tredici


David Del Tredici

Much of his early work consisted of elaborate vocal settings of James Joyce (e.g. I Hear an Army, Night Conjure-Verse, and Syzygy) and a decade long obsession with the work of Lewis Carroll (e.g. Pop-Pourri, An Alice Symphony, Vintage Alice, Adventures Underground, and Final Alice).

Del Tredici was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1980 for In Memory of a Summer Day, the first part of Child Alice, recorded by Phyllis Bryn-Julson and the Saint Louis Symphony conducted by Leonard Slatkin for the Nonesuch label.
