Craig Dr. Craig, who is 29, was most recently Assistant Professor at the University of Virginia, where he taught Music Theory and Music in Wo r ld Cultures. A t Chung Chi he is teaching Orchestration, Composition, and Counterpoint. As a pianist, he performs principally 20th- century music by Bartok, Copland, and others. His own compositions for various instrumental combinations have had numerous performances in the United States. They include the String Quartet No. 1, 'Visions' (for piano solo), Chamber Piece No. 3, several songs with piano accompaniment, and a theatrical piece, By à n Hwa ( "Change " ), which features speakers, dancers, and chamber orchestra. Dr. Craig is presently engaged in exploring a number of non-European "cultivated" musics which, although themselves valid and complex, are virtually unknown outside their own cultures and often ignored even within the culture due to the impact of Occidental music. By fusing Oriental textures, styles, and instruments with their Western counterparts, he finds that a new music is created which is at once modern, deeply humanitarian, and international in scope. — 1 5 —
