Timeline
Warren Benson (January 26, 1924 – October 6, 2005) was an American composer.
His compositions consist mostly of music for wind instruments and percussion.
Benson was born in Detroit in 1924, and was a graduate of Cass Technical High School.
He was a professional performer by the age of 14, when he played timpani in the Detroit Symphony Orchestra under Ormandy, Reiner, Goossens, Bernstein, and others while an undergraduate at the University of Michigan.
From 1950 to 1952, Benson was awarded two successive Fulbright grants to teach at Anatolia College in Salonika, Greece.
There he established a five-year bilingual music curriculum and organized the Anatolia College Chorale, the first scholastic co-educational choral group in that country.
After 14 years at Ithaca College (where, in 1953, he organized the first touring percussion ensemble in the eastern United States – and the second worldwide), Benson became professor of composition at the Eastman School of Music.
His most notable piece is titled The Leaves Are Falling (1964).
During his tenure there (1967–1993), he was honored with an Alumni Citation for Excellence, the Kilbourn professorship for distinguished teaching, and was named University Mentor.
Benson received numerous awards for his music, including a 1981 Guggenheim Composer Fellowship, the Lillian Fairchild Award, a Citation of Excellence from the National Band Association, many ASCAP Serious Music Awards, and three National Endowment for the Arts composer commissions.
He was a founding member of the Percussive Arts Society, and was elected to its Hall of Fame, as well as to the National Band Association Academy of Excellence.
In addition to his published music, Benson wrote "Creative Projects in Musicianship", poetry and humorous fiction.
He also served as distinguished visiting professor at Southern Methodist University from 1986 to 1988.
Benson composed over 100 musical works.
He is known for his moving song cycles and dynamic works for percussion and winds.
The Leaves are Falling, composed following the assassination of John F Kennedy, became a staple of the band repertoire.
His music has been performed in more than 40 countries, and frequently recorded.
In 1994 he was appointed professor emeritus.
In 1999, he celebrated his 75th birthday with the publication of "…And My Daddy Will Play the Drums: Limericks for Friends of Drummers".
Benson's notable students include Kevin Puts, Carter Pann, Michael Glenn Williams, Eric Ewazen, Claude Baker, Robert Paterson, Gordon Stout, John Joseph Davye, Paul Phillips, Roger Briggs, Martin Amlin, Paul Mack Somers, and Michael Udow.
He is the subject of a bio-bibliography by Alan Wagner, published by Edwin Mellen Press.
A Warren Benson Archive is in the process of being established at the Sibley Music Library, and the Benson family will endow the creation of the Warren and Pat Benson Forum on Creativity.
