Alfred Howell Bartles (November 10, 1930 – December 28, 2006)[1] was an American composer and musician. He played the cello and piano[2] and he is best known for "Music for Symphony Orchestra and Jazz Ensemble",[3] a work that has been described as pioneering of the crossover between jazz and classical music.[4]
Bartles grew up in Nashville, Tennessee,[1] and studied piano under Lennie Tristano. He enrolled at Vanderbilt University in 1949 with the intention of studying music,[1] but left at the start of the Korean War, to act as an arranger and pianist for the US Army.[4] He obtained a master's degree in composition from Ohio University, under the direction of Karl Ahrendt, and began studying the cello. He joined the St Louis Symphony Orchestra, and played in the pit orchestra on Broadway musicals.[4] His compositions began to be published in the 1960s, including "Music for Symphony Orchestra and Jazz Ensemble".[4] In 1973, he accepted a position at Tennessee Technological University[1] before moving to the Eurythmeum in Stuttgart, Germany in 1977.[1][5] He moved back to Nashville in 1997, where he spent the remainder of his career.[4]
