Description: Chou Wen-chung : The Life And Work of a Contemporary Chinese-born American Composer, Hardcover by Chang, Peter M., ISBN 0810852969, ISBN-13 9780810852969, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US He was supposed to be a civil engineer, but sometimes music does not allow that sort of thing. Chou Wen-Chung had no intention of pursuing his career as an engineer when he came to America in 1946. He already knew his real mission, and in the following years he was able to combine both his heritage of birth and heritage of choice in unique images and ideas from both the East and the West. Chang (music, Northwestern Illinois U.) provides an able biography as well as comprehensive musical and cultural analyses of Chou's compositions. He includes descriptions of Chou's studies of ancient Chinese musical forms and philosophy, facsimiles of Chou's working papers, and a range of photographs of Chou at work with a wide circle of friends and colleagues. Chang includes lists of Chou's compositions, recordings, and performances. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
