Abstract Details

2004, Doctor of Musical Arts, Ohio State University, Music.
Richard “Rick” Sowash (b. 1950) is a late 20th century American composer who has composed over 250 pieces in many musical genres. According to Sowash, he has modeled his life as a composer after Charles Ives, although his music is far from the style of Ives. Sowash is a multi-talented composer, having written music for a wide range of ensembles. His works have been performed in a number of different venues, from church congregations to a public concert at the Cannes Film Festival. Sowash has composed nearly one hundred original vocal works. None of these pieces has been published to date. This document will bring these unknown works to the attention of vocal students, performers and teachers for future examination and performance. Included in this document is a comprehensive biography of Rick Sowash; a biography of one of Sowash’s most set poets, Sara Teasdale, including comment on Sowash’s compositional settings of Teasdale’s poetry in Bright April and Teasdale Songs; and, an annotated bibliography of his original works for solo voice and accompaniment.
