Ty Alan Emerson is an award-winning composer based in Cleveland whose works span chamber music, dance, and interdisciplinary collaboration. His music has been praised for its emotional power, clarity, and responsiveness to contemporary issues.

In 2024, the Cleveland Chamber Collective premiered Emerson’s hour-long work Oath Breaker, for chamber ensemble and electronics, exploring the events of January 6 and their aftermath. Other recent premieres include Shelter-in-Place and Pan Songs (2023), as well as Caliban Ascendant (2021), a full-length ballet created in partnership with Inlet Dance Theatre and featured in the Ohio Channel documentary Creating, Community.

Emerson’s works have been performed by ensembles such as The Cleveland Jazz Orchestra, No Exit, Zeitgeist, ASSEM3LY, VERB Ballets, and Quorum New Music Ensemble, and have appeared at festivals including Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival (UK), New Music on the Bayou, and NEO Sonic. His music has also been featured on WCLV’s Fresh Innovations.

His honors include the ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Award, the Searle McCullum Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a MacDowell Colony Fellowship, and multiple Ohio Arts Council grants.

Australian composer, born 1960, married to Clare Maclean (New Zealand/Australian composer). The first series of paintings used on my Soundcloud sight were by my father, Barry Carroll. I have used other painters since then. There is a wide variety of music here: recent compositions, pieces written in my thirties, student works, and pieces written in my teenage years. Its mostly based on Finale versions of my scores. There is a full list of my Soundcloud pieces at https://john-carroll-poems.com/soundcloud-recordings/

Soon after I started learning piano I began composing. At university I studied with Peter Sculthorpe (1978-81) [and earlier, with Martin Wesley-Smith, Moya Henderson and Eric Gross]. My style was modernist (In Terra Pax, Sonata for Two Pianos and Horn, Qui Tollis). After my studies I felt drawn to tonality. Many of my pieces were written during my thirties. My style is often tonal, sometimes using the structures of classical music, sometimes incorporating traditional melodies, aiming to express a sense of the timeless goodness in existence. I became a pastor. There was a twenty year exile from composition, during which time I started writing poetry. 

In 2018 I began composing again. Over 1870 new works have been written, each one canonic - using Plainsong, Jewish cantillation, Scottish pibrochs, Icelandic music, early transcriptions of Aboriginal music, Breton and Northumbrian melodies, Gaelic psalms, Irish and English tunes, Welsh folk songs, and my own melodies (and an extended series of works that accompany paintings) "joining our voice to a great communal voice that calls out across the centuries" (Ben Myers). Bruckner greatly influenced me when I was young. May I also create melodies that "arc from heaven" (Colin Davies).
