Description
Arguably the most important British post-minimalist composer, Gavin Bryars has worked in classical music, jazz, free improvisation, minimalism, historicism, avant-garde, and experimental music. His style has evolved since his first piece, The Sinking of the Titanic (1969) and he remains a provocative yet accessible composer capable of working in a variety of different musical genres.
With a Foreword by Steve Reich, this book celebrates his 80th birthday by bringing together musicians, colleagues and collaborators who have worked with Bryars, each discussing one particular aspect of his work.
