With over 100 compositions in his catalog, Ross Lee Finney is a
highly regarded composer whose career spans more than 50 years.
This work offers contemporary music scholars, students, and
enthusiasts an in-depth survey of the life, works, and writings of
this important composer, theorist, and teacher. Finney is one of
the first significant composers to come out of the American
Midwest. He is known for blazing new trails by writing tonal music
in the serialist style, developing a unique method of composition
by applying physics' theory of complementarity to music, and using
symmetrical hexachords to achieve an overall tonal effect. An
important addition to any music library. Of special interest are
excerpts from the author's interview with Finney in 1992, which
provide the reader with a unique insight into the life and work of
this individual and innovative composer. The book is divided into
four major sections: a biography, a list of works including
detailed information regarding premieres and other significant
performances, a complete discography of all commercial recordings,
and a comprehensive bibliography of writings by and about Finney.
Two appendices provide alphabetical and chronological lists of
compositions, and a comprehensive index includes all important
names, institutions, places, and events mentioned throughout the
text.
