" —Fanfare " . . . exhilarating . . . Any of the interviews in American Composers will stimulate your curiosity and appetite." —Hungry Mind Review " . . . not only engaging, but also a useful representation of the major compositional styles of the 1980s and their corresponding practitioners." —Notes Philip Glass, Keith Jarrett, Meredith Monk, and eight other active American composers reveal a broad spectrum of musical personalities in these candid, in-depth conversations.

In the preface to his work, Rupert Hughes explains his motivation and method for writing this historical account of American composers. Being a musician himself, he was interested to know who of merit was a native composer. He found it difficult to obtain such information, so he resolved to research contemporary composers, listen to and read their scores and make his own judgements. This wide-ranging book is the result.

The first collection of serious critical essays on modern American music, this volume of opinions expressed by composers themselves brought volleys of dissension and a little praise when it first appeared. American music was without honor in its own country. Names such as Aaron Copland, Charles Seeger, Roy Harris, Howard Handson, Edgard Varese, Carlos Chavez, Charles Ives--and Henry Cowell--were known to only a musical few, and accepted by even fewer. Their thoughtfully written expositions of personal theories about music and other composers were on the whole considered upstart and absurd. But the crucible of time has made this once highly controversial volume as fascinating as it is instructive. Its subjects, authors, and views have now earned their historical place. As the editor states in his introduction, he placed his bets well. The essays make a contribution ot the literature that is very good reading for both musicians and now a wide musical public.
