 | | Diamond wrote music marked by a deep sense of structure - he was a master of fugues and sets of variations - and at times by tart harmonies and wiry melodies. | | | Diamond and his fellow traditionalists began to fade from favor as atonal and serial music asserted itself on the forefront of new music. | | | Diamond was born on July 9, 1915, in Rochester and attended the Eastman School of Music there. |

| | Diamond's songs for voice and piano are among his finest achievements, sung by the likes of Jennie Tourel, Eileen Farrell, and Eleanor Steber. | | | He was introduced to Igor Stravinsky, who listened to a four-hand piano version of Diamond's just-written Psalm for orchestra. | | | The renewed interest in Diamond's music starting in the 1980s coincided with his being awarded some of the most significant honors available to a composer. |

| | Diamond's homecoming in 1965 marked the occasion of his 50th birthday, and his old friend Bernstein mounted a memorable concert on April 28 1966, when the New York Philharmonic (of which Bernstein was now music director) premiered his Symphony No 5 (1951-64) and Piano Concerto (1949-50, which Diamond conducted). | | | Diamond did manage to secure vital commissions, however: his friend Charles Munch, now conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, premiered his Symphony No 6 in 1957, and he found a new supporter in Eugene Ormandy, who conducted the Philadelphia Orchestra in his Symphony No 7 in 1962. | | | Fascinated by the violin from a very early age, he devised his own method of composing for the instrument before he could read music. |

| | American Composers Orchestra - November 1, 1998 Concert |
| | Diamond is loath to bring in extramusical associations with his music, but at the very least his Symphony No. 2, with its contrasts between brooding meditation and fierce outbursts of energy, was appropriate music for those times. | | | Diamond "a new Bruckner." Listeners in 1998 may also be reminded of the broad symphonic meditations of Henryk Górecki and Arvo Pärt. | | | Stock composed his Violin Concerto at the request of the Pittsburgh Symphony and its music director, Lorin Maazel, in honor of the orchestra's 100th anniversary. |

| | In fact, Diamond adheres to the view that "atonal" is a misnomer as it is generally applied, since unavoidable tonal poles render truly atonal music impossible. | | | Among Diamond's best-known vocal works are To Music (1967), a choral symphony on texts by John Masefield and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; and The Sacred Ground, commemorating Lincoln's Gettysburg Address on its centenary. | | | During the mid- and late 1940s, Diamond often supported himself at least partly by playing violin in live radio-station and theater-pit orchestras. |

| | David Diamond, a prolific composer known for his lyrical sensibilities and feisty temperament, died of congestive heart failure on June 13 in his native Rochester, N.Y. He was 89. | | | One of them, Seattle Symphony music director Gerard Schwarz, a Juilliard alumnus who studied with Diamond, said of his teacher's music: "At times it was as elegant and expressive as music can be, and at times extremely driven." (A review of Diamond's works on CD is here.) | | | But shifting trends in American music in the 1950s and '60s caused Diamond to be branded old-fashioned, and his compositions began to lose favor. |
