Description
Dudley Buck: A Life in Music N. Lee Orr's biography explores the life and career of Dudley Buck, an influential American composer, conductor, and music teacher who helped establish the organ in American musical life. Buck's compositions, including his Grand Sonata in E Flat and Variations and Fugue on the "Star-Spangled Banner", remain popular today. His music was challenging yet accessible to amateur musicians and choirs, reflecting the Victorian era's emphasis on drawing citizens into higher circles of art and beauty. This book provides a detailed account of Buck's life, including his stint as teacher to Charles Ives, organ recital tours around the Midwest, and work composing music for church organs.
