About the book

"Through her compelling and well-crafted body of work spanning nearly five decades, Joan Tower has become one of the worlds most admired and celebrated composers. This comprehensive bio-bibliography celebrates her achievements and compositions for orchestras, symphonic bands, chamber ensembles, and solo instruments. Ellen K. Grolman provides a full biography of the composer, supported by extensive personal interviews and family history dating back to 1637. She explores the experiences and influences that have shaped Tower's musical voice, from her upbringing in South America to her establishment of the Da Capo Chamber Players, and from her flight from serialism to her maturation into one of the most sought-after composers at work today."--Jacket.
