The Music of Ingram Marshall

“I never really thought of them as walls. I thought of them more
as boundaries. Walls are a much more serious matter. You're not
supposed to be able to get through, while boundaries at least you
can crossover and I think the whole crossover thing is basically
what the history of music in the second part of this century is
about. It's about crossing over these boundaries.”


If there’s one quote that could sum up the music of the composer
Ingram Marshall, it might be this one.


Last week I talked about Sibelius and our inability to place him
in the typical classical music eras of Romantic or Modernist
music. Well, Ingram Marshall’s music follows very much on that
discussion, and it’s no surprise that Sibelius is one of
Marshall’s favorite composers. I imagine most of you listening to
the show today are not familiar with Ingram Marshalls’ music, so
today on this Patreon Sponsored episode, I’m going to briefly
give you a background on this remarkable modern composer, and
then we’ll finish the show with both an interview and an analysis
of Marhsall’s work Flow with the great composer Timo Andres, who
studied with Marshall and had some great insights on his music.
You won’t regret diving into the remarkable work of Ingram
Marshall, so come and join us!
