Composer, Educator
Christopher Buchenholz is a NY composer whose compositions are best known for their extraordinary blend of traditional musical sound worlds, relentless counterpoint, intricate rhythmic aggregations, and innovative harmonic motion. Dr. Buchenholz’s music reflects an intense and ongoing investigation of formal musical structures, created in a twelve-tone pitch-space, which itself is modeled after a more conventional, tonal pitch-space. This gives his music a familiar, yet strikingly new sound.
