Paperback. Condition: New. Samuel Jones: The Uncompromising Life and Music of an American Composer traces the extraordinary life and career of classical composer Samuel Jones, who, at age ninety, continues to write music that resonates with audiences around the world. Honored with the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017, Jones joins the ranks of Eudora Welty, Leontyne Price, and Morgan Freeman-Mississippi luminaries who made a lasting cultural impact.Drawing on more than two hundred hours of recorded conversations, authors Susan E. Pickett and Douglas Scarborough present a vivid, chronological account of Jones's life-from his Mississippi childhood and early training to his studies with composer Howard Hanson, and on to his influential roles as conductor, educator, and founding dean of Rice University's Shepherd School of Music.The book follows Jones's career through some of the most turbulent decades in classical music, showing how his refusal to abandon audience connection-amid an era of avant-garde dominance-ultimately ensured the enduring relevance of his work. As resident composer of the Seattle Symphony, Jones reached new creative heights, and this book devotes particular attention to this fruitful period, including the creation of his monumental second oratorio. Combining historical context, personal reflection, and musical insight, Samuel Jones reveals a composer whose dedication, resilience, and belief in the power of accessible, emotionally rich music helped shape American classical music.…
