Libby Larsen has composed award-winning music performed around the
world. Her works range from chamber pieces and song cycles to
operas to large-scale works for orchestra and chorus. At the same
time, she has advocated for living composers and new music since
cofounding the American Composers Forum in 1973. Denise Von Glahn's
in-depth examination of Larsen merges traditional biography with a
daring scholarly foray: an ethnography of one active artist.
Drawing on musical analysis, the composer's personal archive, and
seven years of interviews with Larsen and those in her orbit, Von
Glahn illuminates the polyphony of achievements that make up
Larsen's public and private lives. In considering Larsen's musical
impact, Von Glahn delves into how elements of the personal-a 1950s
childhood, spiritual seeking, love of nature, and status as an
"important woman artist"-inform her work. The result is a portrait
of a musical pathfinder who continues to defy expectations and
reject labels.
