Randall Thompson Randall Thompson is one of the most recognized and important composers in American choral music history. Countless choral musicians have performed his works and many of his compositions are seen as essential repertoire. In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in exploring this literature and the life of the composer. Randall Thompson began a long publishing relationship with E. C. Schirmer beginning in 1928.

RANDALL THOMPSON (1899–1984), eminent American composer, was educated at Harvard University (B.A. 1920; M.A. 1922). His teachers there included Walter R. Spalding, Edward B. Hill, and Archibald T. Davison. He also studied with Ernest Bloch. From 1922 to 1925, Thompson held a fellowship at the American Academy in Rome, and he twice won a Guggenheim Fellowship (1929, 1930). From 1927–1929 and again in 1936–1937, he was assistant professor of music at Wellesley College.

Other academic positions included professorships at the University of California, Berkeley (1937–1939) and Princeton University (1946-1948).

From 1939 to 1941, Thompson was director of the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and then became head of the music division of the School of Fine Arts of the University of Virginia (1941-1946). In 1945 he was appointed Walter Bigelow Rosen Professor of Music at Harvard University and became Professor Emeritus at the close

Carl B. Schmidt and Elizabeth K. Schmidt Dr. Carl B. Schmidt is Professor Emeritus of Music History and Literature at Towson University. He obtained his Ph.D. in Music from Harvard University.

He is a former student of Randall Thompson as well as preeminent scholar of his works.

Together with his wife, Elizabeth, he has catalogued, compiled, and chronicled Thompson’s works.

The Music of Randall Thompson (1899–1984) A Documented Catalogue This extensive work is the culmination of more than a dozen years of research concerning Thompson’s manuscripts, printed editions, lost compositions, and works that he was asked to write, but did not. In compiling the catalogue, its authors personally examined all the evidence found in Thompson’s own extensive Nachlass at Harvard University’s Houghton Library, the bulk of which remains uncatalogued.

of the 1964-65 year. Thompson received numerous awards and honorary doctoral degrees from American colleges and universities including Yale, Harvard, and the New England Conservatory of Music.

In 1959, the Italian Government named Randall Thompson Cavaliere ufficiale al merito della Reppubllca Italtana. He was a member of The National Institute of Arts and Letters and of The American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Commissioned in 1958 for the two-hundredth anniversary of the incorporation of the Town of Amherst, Massachusetts, Frostiana was composed between June 15 and July 7, 1959 in Gstaad, Switzerland. The work was first performed as part of the Bicentennial Commemoration at an inter-faith convocation in the Amherst Regional High School Auditorium on October

18, 1959. It was sung by the Bicentennial Chorus, comprised of singers of all denominations in the township.

Professor J. Heywood Alexander accompanied, the composer conducted, and the poet was present.

In Their Own Words Slave Life and the Power of Spirituals Eileen Guenther This groundbreaking study of slavery and spirituals is the first to place the unique voices of an enslaved people squarely within the context of their daily lives. Dr. Guenther’s deeply researched account weaves a succinct history of “America’s original sin” into an examination of the role of singing and religion in slave life and directly correlates slave testimonies—in their own words—to the themes of Spirituals. In addition to surveying the musical styles, performance practices, and melodic and rhythmic characteristics of spirituals, In Their Own Words includes a biblical concordance to 100 of the spirituals most frequently sung.
