A Blauvelt Descendant: Researching Family History
Ralph Blauvelt was born and raised in Rockland County, NY. He graduated from Spring Valley High School in 1960 and by 1967 he had received the B.M. and M.M. degrees from Manhattan School of Music in New York, NY. He continued his musical education with advanced studies at the Rheinische Musik Schule in Cologne, Germany, the Institute for Sonology at the University of Utrecht, Netherlands, and Ph. D. studies at the State University of New York at Buffalo. His composition teachers have included Vittorio Giannini, Nicholas Flagello, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Henri Pousseur, and Lejaren Hiller. Blauvelt's compositions range in style from traditional to experimental forms and the open forms of free improvisation. His works have been performed in the U.S., Canada, and Europe by the Lenox String Quartet, the Center of the Creative and Performing Arts, and the Dorian Woodwind Quintet, et al. His interest in improvisation and the dynamics of performance evolved through a series of musical score/art works between 1971 and 1981. Exhibitions and performances of his compositions in museums and galleries led to the formation of VORTEX in 1980. His partner/collaborators in the music and dance improvisation ensemble were multi-instrumentalist Brad Graves and dancer Janice Vilardo. Blauvelt performed with VORTEX in New York at Soundscape, Roulette, CBGB's, the 1983 Kool Jazz Festival, et al. VORTEX produced two LP recordings on the SOUNDSCAPE PRESENTS label, C ALBUM (1984), and Danube ALBUM (1987). Since 2004, Ralph has produced seventeen CDs of his music. His most recent, Dance Album, was released in November, 2015. Blauvelt published two books, From Notation To Music (2007), and Music Album (2014) that describe the evolution of his music and document his compositions, performances, and exhibits. From 1994 to 2004, Ralph was the genealogist for the Association of Blauvelt Descendants. He wrote numerous genealogy and family history articles that are presented in A Blauvelt Descendant, Researching Family History (2016). Ralph currently teaches piano and lives with his wife, singer Frances Riley Blauvelt, in Spring Valley, NY.
