Timeline
Barney Sanford Childs (February 13, 1926 – January 11, 2000) was an American composer and teacher.
Born in Spokane, Washington, he taught and composed avant-garde music and literature at universities in the United States and United Kingdom.
Trained originally as a literary scholar, Childs studied at Deep Springs College (1943–45), the University of Nevada, Reno (earning a BA in 1949), and Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar, earning a second BA in 1951 and an MA in 1955.
He was associated later with double bass player Bertram Turetzky and clarinet player Phillip Rehfeldt.
He wrote several pieces for these and other players, often using extended techniques.
Childs won the Koussevitzky Award at Tanglewood in 1954.
He taught English literature at the University of Arizona from 1956 to 1965, where he was mentor to the young Joseph Byrd, then served as Dean at Deep Springs College from 1965 to 1969.
He then returned to the United States where he earned a Ph.D. in English from Stanford University (1961) and remained active as an editor and writer of poetry.
Much of his music employs improvisation and indeterminacy (see his "Roachville Project," 1967).
However, his influences are diverse and include jazz artists, John Cage, Charles Ives, and Paul Hindemith.
In 1970 he was composer in residence at Wisconsin College Conservatory, and also taught at Goldsmiths, University of London.
From 1971 until his death, he was a Fellow of Johnston College, University of Redlands in Redlands, California, where he taught composition and music literature.
He also taught literature and creative writing at the Johnston Center for Integrative Studies, located on the University of Redlands campus.
Childs died in Redlands in 2000, of Parkinson's disease.
Childs wrote a poetry instruction manual, The Poetry 1 Book, which was published posthumously in 2014.
