Editorial Review Product Description This paperback edition is an updated version of the highly acclaimed Lou Harrison: Composing a World. The product of extensive research, as well as seventy-five interviews with the composer and those associated with him over half a century, this new edition features an updated works catalog reflecting compositions completed after 1997, adds a brief description of the circumstances of Harrison's death, and corrects a few minor errors. It also includes an annotated works-list detailing more than 300 compositions and a CD featuring over 74 minutes of illustrative Harrison compositions, including several unique and previously unrecorded works. Extending beyond simple biography, Composing a World includes chapters on music and dance, intonation and tuning, instrument building, music criticism, political activism, homosexuality, and Harrison's Asian influences, among other topics. This indispensable study of Harrison's life and works--currently out of print--will be welcomed back by performing artists, students, and scholars of American music. Customer Reviews (1)

Editorial Review Product Description The present book, supported by extensive archival research and nearly 70 interviews, examines the ideas that have shaped Harrison's creative output, as seen through the eyes of the composer and his associates. A detailed biographical section is followed by individual chapters focusing on Music and Dance, Intonation and Tuning, Instruments, Asian influences, Gamelan, Music and Politics, Music Criticism, and Compositional Processes. In a separate chapter, the authors describe the historical background of the San Francisco gay community, Harrison's literary and musical statements on gay rights, and possible "gay markers" on his musical style. An annotated works-list details over 300 compositions, and a full-length CD illustrates the text in sound, including several unique and previously unrecorded works. This engaging study of Harrison's life and works will be indispensible to students and scholars of American music and to performing artists and programmers. Harrison's love affair with the various musics of Asia began at thistime and coincided with his affinity for dance rhythms in hismusic. With his longtime companion Bill Colvig, Harrison invented manysounding instruments (influenced by those in the Indonesian gamelan),which he employed in his symphonies and othercompositions. Harrison's development of a tuning method (which hecalls "just tone" in contradistinction to "mean tone" or "equaltemperament") has become central to his compositional practice andreceives in-depth discussion. Miller and Lieberman (a musicologist/performer and anethnomusicologist/composer, respectively) began this book as an oralhistory, but it evolved into a thoroughgoing study of the music aswell as of the man. After a brief biography, there are a variety ofdiscrete chapters (e.g., on dance, tuning, homosexuality, politics)with a plethora of music examples. Harrison's lifelong interest intypefaces is also addressed, with examples given. The book includes acatalog of his works and a CD of excerpts from his compositions. In the last 10 years or so, Harrison has enjoyed many moreperformances of his music, and his position as one of the leadingAmerican composers of his generation has been solidified. Thisaffectionate volume--if more for the specialist than for the casuallistener--is an appropriate tribute. --Patrick J. Smith Customer Reviews (11)
