7/4 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) I'm not a huge fan, but check it out - he's 101 today. He may be Americas oldest composer. Still cranking new music out too, still very prolific. When I was into running around NYC and checking out New Music concerts around town, I used to see him and his wife sitting with Milton Babbitt and his wife at concerts. * Edited November 13, 2012 by 7/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
