Earle Brown (1926–2002)
Editor’s note: Earle Brown applied tempi, dynamics and articulations to a selection of pieces in SUMMER SUITE 95. It was the composer’s intention to let the performer invent those parameters for all other pieces of the suite in a similar fashion. The suite may be performed in the order presented here, or organized by date, or in any other order.

Earle Brown
Earle Brown was born in 1926 in Lunenburg, Massachusetts, and in spirit remained a New Englander throughout his life. A major force in contemporary music and a leading composer of the American avantgarde since the 1950s, he was associated with the experimental composers John Cage, Morton Feldman and Christian Wolff, who – together with Brown – came to be known as members of the New York School. Brown died in 2002 at his home in Rye, New York.
