ELIZABETH RUDOLPH
A CONTEMPORARY COMPOSER IN CHICAGO, IL
HOME: Welcome
Music as Communication
"Rudolph’s music is decidedly post-minimalistic, characterized by complex rhythms and repeated figures...the vocal writing was singable and allowed for clarity of text even when the two voices sang different words simultaneously."
Katherine Buzard, Chicago Classical Review
"Rudolph’s score is attractively minimalist and, when sung, never unclear"
Patrick O'Brien, Chicagoland Musical Theatre

Artist blog
"This is a place where I express my philosophy of art and talk about the creative process. Follow along to learn why create art and dive into my thoughts about the music business and what it's like to compose and sing classical music in the 21st century."
"Once I have a seed, I can use "tricks" I learned in music theory to grow the idea."
When I have an idea for a project, I sit down and think about the emotion or words that inspired me. I let my mind go a little fuzzy and wait for a musical idea. That is the magical moment, the part I can't describe. Once I have a seed, I can use "tricks" I learned in music theory to grow the idea. I turn that seed inside out and upside down. I can chop it up and sew it back together until I have something that starts to look like music. And then I edit it. And edit. And edit some more.
