Carl Ruggles (1876-1971) lived to the age of 95, but published only 8 works in his lifetime — less than an hour of music. In this video, I present an overview of this enigmatic composer, as well as an analysis of Lilacs, the central movement of Men and Mountains, for orchestra (1924).
The recording excerpted in this video is by Michael Tilson Thomas, conducting the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra.
