American Pioneers: 20th Century Composers Series $14.95

About this Book

Ives, Varese, Cowell and Cage, four composers influential on the American music scene in the 21st century are the principal players in American Pioneers. Ives and Cage get top billing as Alan Rich aims to show how a genuine "American" classical idiom rose during the closing years of the 19th and 20th centuries. For a reader trying to understand the intellectual undercurrents of later 20th century music (and, indeed, the whole world of art) the detailed discussion of Cage's thoughts and methods is invaluable. Contains a selective discography.
