High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Alexander Goehr is an English composer and academic. He was born in Berlin in 1932, son of the conductor and Schoenberg pupil Walter Goehr. Still in his early twenties, he emerged as a key figure in the Manchester School of post-war British composers. In 1955–56 he joined Oliver Messiaen's masterclass in Paris. Although in the early sixties Goehr was considered a leader of the avant-garde, his oblique attitude to modernism—to any 'a priori movement' or school whatsoever—soon became evident. In a sequence of works including the Piano Trio, the opera Arden Must Die (1966), the music-theatre Triptych (1968–70), the orchestral Metamorphosis/Dance, and the String Quartet No 3, Goehr's personal voice was revealed, arising from a highly individual use of the serial method and a fusion of elements from his double heritage of Schoenberg and Messiaen. Since the luminous 'white-note' Psalm IV setting of 1976, Goehr has urged a return to more humane and traditional ways of composing, using familiar materials as objects of musical speculation, in contrast to the technological and materialistic priorities of much present-day musical research.
