Vladimir Ussachevsky (1911-1990), a pioneer in electronic music,
was also a composer, teacher and administrator of the
Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center. His more than 44 works
involving electroacoustics reflect the importance of his
contribution to electronic music. Ussachevsky studied with Howard
Hanson, Bernard Rogers and Otto Luening and his style varied from
neoromantic and Russian Orthodox influences in choral music and
other compositions before 1952 to electronic and computer music
from 1952 to his death in 1990. This volume in the Greenwood series
Bio-Bibliographies in Music includes a brief biography and detailed
list of works and performances, discography, mediagraphy, and
bibliography of writings about and by Ussachevsky.
