John Alden Carpenter February 28 1876 - April 26 1951 was an American composer. Carpenter was born in Park Ridge Illinois on February 28 1876 and raised in a musical household. He was educated at Harvard University where he studied under John Knowles Paine and was president of the Glee Club also writing music for the Hasty-Pudding Club. Showing great promise as a composer he journeyed to London to study under Edward Elgar and finally succeeded in studying with him in Rome in 1906 later returning to the United States to study under Bernhard Ziehn in Chicago through 1912. It was there he earned a comfortable living as vice-president of the family business a shipping supply company from 1909 to his retirement in 1936. After his retirement he spent much of his time composing. Carpenter's compositional style was considered to be mainly "mildly modernistic and impressionistic"; also many of his works strive to encompass the spirit of America including the patriotic The Home Road and several of his works are jazz-inspired. He composed three ballets: Krazy Kat: A Jazz Pantomime based on the Krazy Kat comics was premiered at the New York Town Hall on 20 January 1922 and was the first work by a concert composer to use the word 'jazz' in its title; possibly his best-known is Skyscrapers 1926 set in New York it premiered at the Metropolitan Opera but equally inspired by his native Chicago. In 1932 Carpenter completed Song of Faith for the George Washington bicentennial. His first symphony Symphony No. 1 in C was premiered in Norfolk Connecticut in 1917 and revised for the 50th anniversary of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra who performed it on October 24 1940. Bruno Walter premiered his second symphony with the New York Philharmonic in 1942. He also wrote many piano pieces and songs including the song cycle Gitanjali with poems by Rabindranath Tagore. Carpenter made two published commercial sound recordings. In December 1927 he joined the mezzo-soprano Mina Hager to record the voice and piano version of his set of Water-Colors settings of four ancient Chinese poems in English translations for a small subscription label the Chicago Gramophone Society. In April 1932 Carpenter recorded the spoken narration in his Song of Faith with the Chicago A Cappella Choir the Philadelphia Orchestra and conductor Noble Cain for Victor. Carpenter made at least one private non-commercial recording; it is possible that one or more private or off-air recordings of his performances also survive for instance among the Mina Hager papers in Chicago.
