This is the first full-length introduction to the life and works of
significant American composer Marga Richter (born 1926), who has
written more than one hundred works for orchestra, chamber
ensemble, dance, opera, voice, chorus, piano, organ, and
harpsichord. Still actively composing in her eighties, Richter is
particularly known for her large-scale works performed by ensembles
such as the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Civic Orchestra
of Chicago and for other pieces performed by prominent artists
including pianist Menahem Pressler, conductor Izler Solomon, and
violinist Daniel Heifetz. Interspersing consideration of Richter's
musical works with discussion of her life, her musical style, and
the origins and performances of her works, Sharon Mirchandani
documents a successful composer's professional and private life
throughout the twentieth century. Covering Richter's formative
years, her influences, and the phases of her career from the 1950s
to the present, Mirchandani closely examines Richter's many
interesting, attractive musical works that draw inspiration from
distinctly American, Irish/English, and Asian sources. Drawing
extensively on interviews with the composer, Mirchandani also
provides detailed descriptions of Richter's scores and uses reviews
and other secondary sources to provide contexts for her work,
including their relationship to modern dance, to other musical
styles, and to 1970s feminism.
