High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ralph Shapey (March 12, 1921 – June 13, 2002) was an American composer and conductor. He is well-known for his work as a composition professor at the University of Chicago, where he founded and directed the Contemporary Chamber Players. Shapey was a MacArthur Fellow in 1982. Although Shapey's style is characterized by angularity, irony, and technical rigor, it eschews the pointillism, anti-emotionalism, and detached austerity of much twelve-tone music. His work's insistence instead on sweeping gesture, frenetic passion, rhythmic vitality, lyrical melody, and dramatic arc recall Romanticism. Shapey was dubbed by critics Leonard Meyer and Bernard Jacobson as a "radical traditionalist," which pleased him immensely -- he held a deep respect for the masters of the past, whom he regarded as his finest teachers.
