Synopsis
An in-depth biography and exploration of the work of composer, Lou Harrison, based on detailed research and extensive interviews. Individual chapters are devoted to music and dance; intonation and tuning; instruments; Asian influences; gamelan; music and politics; music criticism; and compositional processes. In a separate chapter, the author explores lifestyle issues, including the historical background of the San Francisco gay community and possible "gay markers" in Harrison's music. An extensive annotated catalogue details more than 300 works and an audio CD included with the book illustrates the text in sound.
