Reviews
“…the same contributors edified me not only about their own work as composers and theorists but about my own discipline as well. The two dozen contributors offer a wealth of illuminating perspectives on the condition of music and culture at the present time. “-Prof. Ira Braus, The Hartt School
“This volume situates composers within broad historical and cultural flows without diminishing their active role in shaping these flows, and at no times descends into the sycophantism of so many contemporary biographical portraits of composers.”-Prof. Christopher Adler, University of San Diego
