Crawford Seeger, Ruth
orig. Ruth Porter Crawford

born July 3, 1901, East Liverpool, Ohio, U.S.
died Nov. 18, 1953, Chevy Chase, Md.

U.S. composer.

She studied piano as a child and was self-taught as a composer until she entered the American Conservatory. After early works influenced by Alexander Scriabin, she wrote several astonishing serial pieces, including her String Quartet (1931). She married the musicologist Charles Seeger (1886–1979) in 1931, becoming folk singer Pete Seeger's stepmother. She composed little after that but became an influential curator of American folk music.
