Bio / Background

Stirling Newberry is a liberal classicist.

It’s fashionable to say about the music of a new composer that the music is “unclassifiable”, and that “you have never heard anything like before”. I can’t think of any music that’s had that label applied to it that hasn’t been a crushing disappointment, largely because of the expectations created by that label.

Newberry’s music embraces labeling. You could even say it is about labels. By inviting labeling the music makes its listeners acutely aware of the lines, the boundaries between labels. When the music pushes against the boundaries, the fun begins.

The piece (String Quartet in C, No. 11, Op. 41) begins like many others—a repeating figure creates a rhythmic and harmonic space for the music. Then a melody, a rising, expressive melody with a clear, memorable shape appears and is immediately repeated.

His music embodies the goals of classicism—form, proportion, simplicity, and restraint.
