Product Description An excellent resource for reports. SLJ. Peppered with anecdotes, the text explores the composers lives, important works, and contributions to classical, folk, electronic, and popular music. BL. C. 1990. From School Library Journal Ten (mostly lesserknown) American composers lives, beginning with Louis Moreau Gottschalk (18291869) and proceeding in time to Philip Glass (1937 ) are studied in depth. More than a mere collection of facts, the book explores the relationships between composers works and their times, delineating patterns, trends , and techniques in composition. Concepts such as total serialism, twelvetone music , and minimalism are clearly explained. In addition, there is an emphasis on the composers use of indigenous music, incorporating and transmuting Creole, native American, black, and other folk elements into their compositions. Each chapter includes one or two blackandwhite photographs. A recommended reading/listening list and a glossary complete the volume. An excellent resource for reports.
