In 1972-73, Barney Childs embarked on an ambitious attempt to
survey the landscape of new American concert music. He recorded
freewheeling conversations with fellow composers, most of them
under forty, all of them important but most not yet famous. Though
unable to publish the interviews in his lifetime, Childs had
gathered invaluable dialogues with the likes of Robert Ashley, Olly
Wilson, Harold Budd, Christian Wolff, and others. Virginia Anderson
edits the first published collection of these conversations. She
pairs each interview with a contextual essay by a contemporary
expert that shows how the composer's discussion with Childs fits
into his life and work. Together, the interviewees cover a broad
range of ideas and concerns around topics like education, notation,
developments in electronic music, changing demands on performers,
and tonal music. Innovative and revealing, Interviews with American
Composers is an artistic and historical snapshot of American music
at an important crossroads.
