- Abstract
- Born and raised in Los Angeles, Elinor Remick Warren (1900-1991) trained as a pianist and became a highly coveted recital partner, but she saw herself first and foremost as a composer. Over the course of her career, Warren published some 200 art songs, which were regularly performed by such artists as Kirsten Flagstad and Bidu Sayao. In the 1930s she expanded her range into larger choral and orchestral works. Her first international success came in 1940, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic premiered The Legend of King Arthur, a choral symphony based on Tennyson's Idylls of the King. Celebrations surrounding the centenary of her birth in 2000 led to new recognition and in recent years her work has found new audiences.
