Description

Alexander Goehr, Composing a Life A leading British composer and teacher, Alexander ('Sandy') Goehr recounts his life's work in this memoir. Born into a musical family in Berlin, he went on to form the influential 'Manchester School' of composers and performers. Goehr's compositional career spans over six decades, with more than one hundred major works to his name. He has been a radical exponent of serial music, while also composing operas, orchestral pieces, and music for film, television, dance, and theatre. As Emeritus Professor of Music at Cambridge University, he remains one of Europe's most important music educators. This book offers a unique insight into Goehr's life, from his early days as a student to his current status as a renowned composer and teacher.
