David Laganella
[FROM A RECENT CONCERT PROGRAM]
With strong regard for the western music tradition and sensitivity for
the
avant-garde, David Paul Laganella is composing music that blends a
variety
of contemporary genres cohesively into his own personnel style. His
music,
with overwhelming intensity, combines lush chromatic harmonies, sweeping
lyrical motives, and great dynamic contrast.
Laganella was born January 10, 1974 in Stratford, New Jersey.He grew up
in
a musical environment where he studied cello, piano, and guitar. His
formal music studies began at the Berklee School of Music where he
enrolled to study jazz and improvisation. It was there he was introduced
to twentieth century concert music and given his first lectures in
composition.
Laganella went on to pursue his composition studies at New York
University. While in Manhattan, he spent one year as the apprentice
conductor of the New York Youth Symphony where he studied conducting,
orchestration, and lead rehearsals at Carnegie Hall. He graduated from
NYU
cum laude with a bachelors degree in composition and theory.
Presently, Laganella is a Ph.D. candidate and Teaching Fellow at the
University of Pennsylvania. Recently, he received a scholarship prize to
study with Betsy Jolas at the American Conservatory in Fontainebleau,
France. He has also received awards from The Society of Composers
Incorporated and from The Orchestral Society of Philadelphia.
Laganella has studied composition with Marc-Antonio Consoli, James
Primosch, Jay Reise, and Steve Mackey. His music is available for rental
at The Edwin Fleishier Collection of Music at the Free Library of
Philadelphia.
