Add to basketCollectible first edition, first printing of much noted and prolific composer George Frederick McKay's treatise on creative orchestration, a classic in American music. Scarce in this edition state. McKay "composed works in various styles, including 70 orchestral works and nearly 1,000 musical titles, including songs, chamber works, romantic violin and cello sonatas, "ultramodern" dance music, jazzy piano pieces, band rhapsodies, string quartets, light opera tunes, folk music suites for string orchestra, large choral works, organ pieces and American symphonies. He composed several volumes of music for children and was a serious advocate for music education in the United States. He continued actively composing during his retirement years at Lake Tahoe, Nev. and also wrote some pieces influenced by travel to Japan in the 1960s. Some of his early orchestral works attracted conductors such as Leopold Stokowski, Sir Thomas Beecham, Arthur Benjamin, Karl Krueger, Fabien Sevitsky and Howard Hanson for live performances in the 1930s and 1940s. His music has recently been recorded by performers such as William Bolcom and John McLaughlin Williams with the NRCU Symphony Orchestra and now is being heard worldwide via radio broadcasts and international performances. McKay also conducted the Seattle Symphony on several occasions." Illustrated with photos and scores. Includes appendices of examples, a bibliography and extensive indices. Bound in textured tan cloth with red lettering to front and spine panels. 241 pp.9 1/4" x 6 1/4". Tight, unmarked copy with minimal shelf wear and slight bumping to extremities. A most presentable copy of a standard textbook in orchestration. Photographs of or additional information about this item are available on request. All inquiries answered promptly.
