David Leo Diamond (July 9, 1915 – June 13, 2005) was an American composer of classical music.
Life and career
He was born in Rochester, New York, and under Bernard Rogers' guidance, he studied at the Cleveland Institute of Music and the Eastman School of Music, as well as Roger Sessions in New York City and Nadia Boulanger in Paris. He has received a number of prizes, including three Guggenheim Fellowships.
Rounds (1944) for string orchestra is Diamond's most well-known work. Eleven symphonies (the last in 1993), concertos including three for violin, eleven string quartets, music for wind ensemble, other chamber music, piano works, and vocal music are among his collection's repertoires.
He created the musical theme heard on CBS Radio Network's broadcast Hear It Now (1950–51) and its TV successor, See It Now (1951–58).
Diamond was named honorary composer-in-residence of the Seattle Symphony. Alan Belkin, Robert Black, Kenneth Fuchs, Albert Glinsky, Daron Hagen, Anton Hagen, Anthony Iannaccone, Lowell Liebermann, Nicholas Shout, Alasdair MacLean, David Strouse, Francis Thorne, and Eric Whitacre were all members of the Juilliard School faculty, including Alan Belkin, Alan Belkin, Robert Black, Kenneth Fuchs, Robert Black, Kenneth Fuchs, Daron Hagen, Robert Black, Robert Black, Kenneth Fuchs, Kenneth Fuchs, Daron Hagen, Daron Hagen, Anthony Fuchs, Adolphus Hagen, Anthony Haillustration, Anthony Hailson, Robert Black, Joseph Whitacre, Ala, Ala, Thomas Thurne, Robert Schwarzman. Diamond is also credited with advising Glenn Gould on his mid-career work, most notably his String Quartet, Op. 1.
He received the National Medal of Arts in 1995. In 1991, he was given the Edward MacDowell Medal.
Diamond was openly gay long before it was socially acceptable, and he said homophobia and antisemitism slowed his career. "He had a tremendous success in the 1940s and early 1950s with champions like Koussevitzky, Bernstein, Munch, Ormandy, Mitropoulos, and Mitropoulos," a Guardian article says. "But, in the 1960s and 1970s, the serial and modernist schools pulled him into the shadows." Diamond's early brilliance in the 1940s was largely eclipsed by atonal music, according to the New York Times. Howard Hanson, Roy Harris, William Schuman, Walter Piston, and Peter Mennin were among the "forgotten generation of great American symphonists," some historians referred to as "a forgotten generation of great American symphonists, including Howard Hanson, Roy Harris, William Schuman, Walter Piston, and Peter Mennin." Diamond's career woes may have also been triggered by his "difficult personality," he said in the 1990 interview, "I was a very emotional young man, very open in my conduct, and I'd say things in public that would lead to a confrontation between me and a conductor."
Diamond died at home in Brighton, Monroe County, New York, from heart disease in 2005.
