Hallelujah Junction : Composing an American Life Paperback Book
“Refund was approved and back in my account the same day.” - Deliver+ customer
Sometimes I liken the creative act to that of being a good gardener. The musical material itself, the harmonies, rhythms, the timbres and tempi, are seeds you have planted. Composing, bringing forth the final formal arrangement of these elements, is often a business of watching them grow, knowing when to nourish and water them and when to prune and weed.A book unlike anything ever written by a composer, part memoir and part description of the creative process, Hallelujah Junction is an absorbing journey through the musical landscape of John Adams, one of todays most admired and frequently performed composers. A musician of enormous range and technical command, Adams has built a huge audience worldwide through the immediacy and sincerity of his music, such as his Pulitzer prizewinning memorial for the September 11 attack On The Transmigration of Souls. Hallelujah Junction isnt so much an autobiography as a fascinating journey through the musical landscape of his life and times, centred around the three highly controversial operas based on social and political issues he has written in the past twentyfive years Nixon in China, The Death of Klinghoffer and, most recently, Dr Atomic.
Binding: Paperback;352 pages; Publisher: Faber and Faber Ltd; Classification: AVGC6; Weight: 414 g; Dimensions: 191 x 130 x 23
