| Abstract | Not a biography in the traditional sense, this book is an examination of De Leeuw's thought and composition, written primarily by the composer himself, in travel diaries and in reflections on the social and cultural relationship between East and West, which reveal the comprehensive world view underlying De Leeuw's musical ideas. The composer's work is also viewed by various authors against the background of their own widely divergent disciplines: contemporary music, non-Western music, music therapy, intercultural developments. |
