Allen Sapp's multifaceted career as a gifted composer, influential
teacher, and innovative administrator is presented in this first
book-length study of his life and works. The biography chronicles
his studies with Aaron Copland, Walter Piston, and Nadia Boulanger;
his service as Chief Cryptanalyst for the U.S. Army in Europe at
the close of WWII; his early career on the faculty at Harvard; his
formation of a highly influential center for avant-garde music at
Buffalo in the 1960s; and his dramatic explosion of creativity in
the 1980s. Musical examples from the biography are supplemented by
corresponding sound files available via the World Wide Web
(http://muslib.lib.ohio-state.edu/sapp/index.htm). Following the
biography is a listing of Sapp's works and performances, featuring
excerpts from performance reviews. This is followed by a
Discography/Webography, which lists all commercially produced
recordings as well as all known noncommercial recordings available
in libraries, archives, or on the World Wide Web. The final two
sections of the book present an annotated bibliography of writings
by and about Allen Sapp. The book is supplemented by appendices
providing a listing of academic and nonacademic positions held by
Sapp, and chronological and alphabetical listings of his
compositions.
