Professor Douglas Boyce
Composer
He/Him
My music builds on Medieval, Renaissance, and modernist traditions, crafting intricate rhythmic structures that shift between order, fragmentation, elegance, and intensity. Many works connect to historical, literary or philosophical ideas; others focus on foundational aspects of performance like complex rhythms, meter, virtuosity, and collective chamber music. Much of my music positions itself in the affects and rhetoric of the 'Classical' in music, such as the multi-movement piano trio Fortuitous Variations, traditional in its form yet also properly modern in its use of extended techniques and aleatoric structures, and also academic in its titular reference to American Pragmatism. Other works mix worlds of concepts, images, poems or narratives, such as The Hunt by Night exploring a Derek Mahon poem and related 15th-century Uccello painting, framing them in the playful savagery of progressive rock.
