An arresting and emotional tour of the life and work of the 2004 Grammy-winning composer
The celebrated American composer Dominick Argento is known for the care with which he selects the subjects for his works, be they intended for opera house, concert auditorium, recital hall, or church, and for the personal involvement and interest that consistently shine through his music from the premiere in 1951 of Songs about Spring to Orpheus in 2000.
Each chapter of this luminous and revealing memoir is based on a particular composition, surrounded by Argento's reflections on the period in his life when the piece was written ... Read moreIn a lifetime of compositions that have engaged Western culture from Chekhov to Miss Manners, from Don Juan to the Bremen Town musicians, Dominick Argento has encouraged audiences to focus on the hopes and fears that have defined human existence and their own lives. Now he invites us to share his own, illuminating the nature of musical composition and its hold on the human imagination. Show LessProduct Details
