(en) Jan Johnson Swafford (Chattanooga, Tennessee; 10 de septiembre de 1946) es un compositor estadounidense y autor que enseña composición, teoría y musicología en el y Escritura en la Universidad Tufts. Es autor de respetadas biografía musicales de Charles Ives y Johannes Brahms, y el introductorio . A menudo se le oye como comentador musical en NPR. La música propia de Swafford, que es muy lírica y se mueve libremente entre la tonalidad y la atonalidad, se considera de estilo Neo-Romanticismo. Hay tanto contribuciones si bien poco evidentes del world music, en especial Hindúes y Balinesas, y del jazz y el blues. Los títulos de sus obras revelan una constante inspiración en la naturaleza y el paisaje. El compositor considera su obra como un tipo de clasicismo: que concierne a la claridad, inmediatez y expresión, o como él lo dice: «música que suena familiar considerando que es nueva, obras que suenan tal como si ellas se escribiesen». Notables son sus obras orquestales Landscape with Traveler (1979-80), After Spring Rain (1981-82) y From the Shadow of the Mountain (2001), el quinteto para piano de 1985 Midsummer Variations, el cuarteto para piano de 1989 They Who Hunger, y el trío para piano de 2002 They That Mourn, el último en memoria del 9 de noviembre. Su música ha ganado varios premios entre ellos un NEA Composer Grant, dos del Massachusetts Artists Foundation Fellowships, y una beca de Tanglewood. En 2017 publicó Beethoven. Tormento y Triunfo, biografía sobre el compositor alemán.

Han undervisar vid Tufts University och är författare till de respekterade biografierna över tonsättarna Charles Ives och Johannes Brahms. Hans kompositioner, som är mycket lyriska och rör sig fritt mellan tonalitet och atonalitet, kan klassificeras som nyromantiska. Stilen är påverkad av musik från Indien och Bali, men också från jazz och blues. Namnen på många av hans verk visar på inspiration från naturen. Swafford själv ser sin stil som en sorts klassicism. Han är angelägen om klarhet, omedelbarhet och uttryck. Han beskriver den som "musik som låter bekant fast den är ny, verk som låter som om de skrev sig själva." Särskilt nämnvärda är hans pianokvintett Midsummer Variations, hans pianokvartett They Who Hunger (1989), hans pianotrio They That Mourn (in memoriam 9/11 2002) och hans orkesterverk Landscape with Traveler (1979-80), After Spring Rain (1981-82), Late August (1992) och From the Shadow of the Mountain (2001). Swafford arbetar för närvarande[när?] med ett musikstycke för cello solo, samt en biografi över Ludwig van Beethoven. (sv) |
