Biography
Anthony Glise - Nuits de Hautecombe 2008
Glise's musical training began at a very young age under the tutelage of his mother (a piano teacher) and father (an amateur baritone vocalist). Glise's musical studies continued from that time, and he ultimately matriculated from New England Conservatory of Music (Boston, US, 1983), achieving a Master of Music in Classical Guitar Performance.[citation needed]
While in Boston, he pursued studies in classical guitar, composition, musicology, early music performance practice, and historical dance under Robert Paul Sullivan, Benjamin Zander, and Daniel Pinkham. During this time (1980–83), Glise was also a lutenist and dancer for the Boston historical dance troupe "Terpsichore".[citation needed]
While finishing his degree at New England Conservatory, he simultaneously studied business management and administration at Harvard University (Cambridge, US), and shortly thereafter studied medicine for a brief time, earning a license as an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician).[citation needed]
Glise's other diplomas and awards during this period include matriculation from Lille Catholic University (Lille, France, in French Language and Civilization), ARCUM (Rome, Italy, in 19th-Century Musical Performance Practice) and additional awards from the IX Nemzetkozi Gitarfesztival (Esztergom, Hungary, for musical composition), Ville Sable-sur-Sarthe (France, for musical composition), et al.[citation needed]
After his studies in Vienna, Glise took a teaching post in Nenzing, (in the western Austrian state of Vorarlberg while living in Bludenz), followed by posts and professional activities in Northern France (Lille), in Italy at the "Academy for the Study of 19th-Century Music" (Vigevano) and in Southern Germany (Schwäbisch Gmünd).[citation needed]
In 1991 Glise became the only American-born guitarist to win First Prize at the International Toscanini Competition (Italy),[3] with an unprecedented unanimous vote from the competition jury. That competition was held in the town of Stresa on Lake Maggiore, and the ceremonial award concert was performed on the island, Isole dei Pescatori.[citation needed]
More recently, Glise founded and currently directs various music festivals, including the "St. Joseph International Guitar Festival and Competition" (US), "Six Strings and the Spirit" (Chartres, France), sponsored by the Catholic order, Communauté du Chemin Neuf, et al.[citation needed]
He has recorded for a number of international labels including Young Recording Artists, Dorian Recordings (US), CEH (Hungary), and most notably for the French label, Eclipse (a subdivision of The Aevia Group, Ltd.) which Glise took over as acting CEO in the early 1990s.[citation needed]
In addition to over a dozen CDs, DVDs, and over 30 original published compositions, Glise has published many historical and Urtext musical editions for Willis Music Company (Cincinnati, US), under the series, "The Anthony Glise Critical Editions," and a number of books and editions for Mel Bay Publications (Pacific, US), under the series titled "The Anthony Glise Urtext Editions".[citation needed]
Glise lectures at Missouri Western State University in his home town of St. Joseph, Missouri (US) where he teaches guitar, Renaissance lute, guitar pedagogy, guitar history, guitar ensemble, career development, and is a fencing coach (foil) for the university fencing team. Since 1995 he has lived predominantly in the small French Flanders village of Sainghin-en-Melantois on the outskirts of the city of Lille.[citation needed]

Andrés Segovia Torres, 1st Marquis of Salobreña was a Spanish virtuoso classical guitarist. Many professional classical guitarists were either students of Segovia or students of Segovia's students. Segovia's contribution to the modern-romantic repertoire included not only commissions but also his own transcriptions of classical or baroque works. He is remembered for his expressive performances: his wide palette of tone, and his distinctive musical personality, phrasing and style.
Samuel Osmond Barber II was an American composer, pianist, conductor, baritone, and music educator, and one of the most celebrated composers of the mid-20th century. Principally influenced by nine years' composition studies with Rosario Scalero at the Curtis Institute and more than 25 years' study with his uncle, the composer Sidney Homer, Barber's music usually eschewed the experimental trends of musical modernism in favor of traditional 19th-century harmonic language and formal structure embracing lyricism and emotional expression. However, he adopted elements of modernism after 1940 in some of his compositions, such as an increased use of dissonance and chromaticism in the Cello Concerto (1945) and Medea's Dance of Vengeance (1955); and the use of tonal ambiguity and a narrow use of serialism in his Piano Sonata (1949), Prayers of Kierkegaard (1954), and Nocturne (1959).
