學術

謝弗出生於加拿大安大略省薩尼亞市。他曾於英國皇家音樂學院多倫多皇家音樂學院多倫多大學學習。在多倫多大學期間,他曾是理察·約翰斯頓的弟子。

他的音樂教育理論在全世界都受到推廣。在1960年代他在西門菲莎大學開始了音景理論的研究。

為了解釋音景的概念,謝弗在1969年提出了「聲音分裂」(英語:schizophonia)這一詞,意味「聲音從它的來源和環境分離」,他解釋道:「我們總是將聲音從它的製造者身上分離出來。原本存在於自然宿主中的聲音被扯離,被賦予響度的放大然後變成獨立的存在。舉例來說,人唱歌或說話的聲音已經不全是直接從嘴裡發出的了,它可能來自世界上的任何一個角落。」[4]

謝弗也是圖像記譜法的實踐者之一。[5]

 
在回憶錄《My Life on Earth and Elsewhere》中,謝弗描述了他1955年在油輪上做見習水手的生活。

榮譽

1987年,謝弗被授予了第一屆格連-古爾德獎(Glenn Gould Prize)作為對他的貢獻的肯定。謝弗還兩次榮獲朱諾獎的年度最佳古典樂作曲,在2004年和2011年,獲獎作品分別是《String Quartet No.8》和《Duo for Violin and Piano》。[6][7]

2005年,加拿大藝術協會授予謝弗沃爾特-卡森獎,這是加拿大藝術家最高榮譽之一。[8] 2009年,謝弗還榮獲加拿大表演藝術界最高榮譽之加拿大總督表演藝術獎[9] 2013年,基於他在「當代音樂領域的國際聲譽和在聲音生態學領域的開創性貢獻」,他被授予雙重榮譽的加拿大勳章[10]
