Abstract This book features a collection of texts by and about French composer Joël-François Durand. In his wide-ranging self-interview, Durand speaks candidly and engagingly about how and why he became a composer, and about the ways in which this choice has shaped his musical and intellectual development. Musical composition, for Durand, draws upon many of the other artistic and humanistic disciplines, and affects his thinking about them in parallel with music. The second part of this volume comprises four essays on Durand's music, contributed by three of his former composition students--Christian Asplund, Eric Flesher, and Ryan Hare--and by his colleague, music theorist Jonathan W. Bernard, who has also edited and introduced this absorbing portrait of the composer.
General noteIncludes essays on Durand's music by his students Christian Asplund, Eric Flesher, and Ryan Hare, and by colleague Jonathan W. Bernard.
Bibliography noteIncludes bibliographical references, list of Durand's works (pages 251-257), and index.
