Gable
Christopher
Gable was raised a southern Californian, but was secretly born in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. He has been a dishwasher, sandwich maker, paperboy, library
cataloger and freelance trombonist, but what he really aspires to be
is a freelance composer and music theory instructor in Minneapolis.
He also brews beer and does the laundry. His music has been performed
all across the country, and frequently includes references to and variations
of all kinds of popular music. He has been commissioned by all sorts
of nice people, including the First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis,
Lake Harriet United Methodist Church, St. John’s Lutheran Church
(Madison, WI), the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra (Twin Cities), and
North Carolina soprano Nancy King. He has taught at Macalester College
and St. Olaf College, and has studied at UC Santa Barbara and the University
of Minnesota; his principal teachers were Dominick Argento, Judith Lang
Zaimont, and Emma Lou Diemer. His principal teachers that he never met
are Benjamin Britten, Witold Lutoslawski, and Johannes Brahms.
