Born in Chicago in 1922, Irwin Bazelon graduated from DePaul University and later studied composition with Darius Milhaud at Mills College. Following his studies in 1948, he settled in New York City. David Harold Cox made these observations in his 1982 essay on the composer:
“Life in the grand metropolis... has inspired many forms of artistic production, particularly during the first half of the twentieth century. In music there were the efforts of the Futurists to reproduce the sounds of the city (1914), in the visual arts Walter Ruttmann's film Berlin (1927) and in painting Max Weber’s New York at Night (1915) and Georgia O'Keefe’s The American Radiator Building (1929). Bazelon has taken up this theme, imbued it with new life and carried it into the latter part of the century. In his music he captures his personal vision of the essence of city life in the years in which the great American dream reached fulfillment and began to decay.”
