Calvin Hampton, 1938-1984
My doctoral project at Indiana University was a study of the life and
music of Calvin Hampton titled The Stained-Glass Zimbelstern: An Inquiry
Into the Life and Music of Calvin Hampton (copyright 2001, Jonathan B.
Hall).
This two-part dissertation includes the first complete biography of the
remarkable composer, organist, and transplanted Manhattanite, as well
as a provocative study of his organ works as representations of the
human body.
In a highly unusual move, I was required to have a co-advisor from the
Department of Music Theory. Joining Marilyn Keiser was Robert Hatten,
noted writer and semiotic theoretician. I felt enormously privileged to
have this additional input.
Click here for a wonderful tribute to this book from Professor Hatten.
More recently, I created an extensive revision of the biographical
section, which is titled Calvin Hampton, a Musician Without Borders. This
book is now published and available to the public...not only professional
organists and students of twentieth-century classical music, but those
who love the creative scene of New York City and treasure the
indomitability of the human spirit.
