Philip Norman Batstone (Jan. 4, 1933 - July 23, 1992) was an American composer.
Life and education
[edit]Batstone was born in Boston, Massachusetts, to Benjamin Stanley Batstone, a travelling salesman born in India, and Lucy (née Stockbridge) Batstone, a bank clerk. He had an older brother, Benjamin Batstone Jr. His family lived in Albany, New York, in 1935, and in 1940, they rented a home at 33 Myrtle Street, Melrose, Massachusetts, which they shared with another lodger.[1]
He was a choral singer in the Church of the Advent and was a student at the Longy School of Music. A year after joining the 298th Army Band in Berlin in 1955, Batstone began studies with Boris Blacher and Silvia Kind at the Hochschule für Musik in Berlin. At Princeton University, he studied with Roger Sessions, Oliver Strunk, and Milton Babbitt, where he graduated with a Ph.D. in composition in 1965. [2]
He married Magdalena G. Philippi, and had two sons.[3][4]
Career
[edit]Batstone taught at the City College of New York between 1965 and 1971, and at the University of Illinois at Chicago from 1971 to 1973. He also taught at Harvard University. After retiring in 1976, he moved to Pembroke, Maine.
His soprano and chamber ensemble, A Mother Goose Primer, was composed in 1969 and performed by Bethany Beardslee. That same year, he published an article about musical phenomenology in Perspectives of New Music.[2]
