Frank Ticheli (1958- )
Frank
Ticheli's music has been described as being "optimistic and
thoughtful" (Los Angeles Times), "lean and muscular" (New York Times),
"brilliantly effective" (Miami Herald) and "powerful, deeply felt
crafted with impressive flair and an ear for striking instrumental
colors" (South Florida Sun-Sentinel). Ticheli joined the faculty
of the University of Southern California's Thornton School of Music in
1991, where he is Professor of Composition. From 1991 to 1998, Ticheli
was Composer in Residence of the Pacific Symphony, and he still enjoys
a close working relationship with that orchestra and their music
director, Carl St. Clair. Ticheli is well known for his works for
concert band, many of which have become standards in the repertoire. In
addition to composing, he has appeared as guest conductor of his music
at Carnegie Hall, at many American universities and music festivals,
and in cities throughout the world. Ticheli is the winner of the
2006 NBA/William D. Revelli Memorial Band Composition Contest for his Symphony No. 2.
Other awards for his music include the Charles Ives and the Goddard
Lieberson Awards, both from the American Academy of Arts and Letters,
the Walter Beeler Memorial Prize, and First Prize awards in the Texas
Sesquicentennial Orchestral Composition Competition, Britten-on-the-Bay
Choral Composition Contest, and Virginia CBDNA Symposium for New Band
Music. His works are published by Manhattan Beach, Southern, Hinshaw,
and
Encore Music, and are recorded on the labels of Albany, Chandos,
Clarion, Klavier, Koch International, and Mark Records.- The Wind Repertory Project
