Apr 16, 2004 -- Stern College Professor David Glaser's "Seven American Composers" features visits from two prominent American composers this spring: April 15 - Steve Reich. The New York Times recently described Mr. Reich as "...among the great composers of the past century." Mr. Reich has embraced not only aspects of Western classical music but also the structures, harmonies, and rhythms of non-Western and American vernacular music, particularly jazz. April 27 - Mario Davidovsky. A Pulitzer-Prize winning member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Mr. Davidovsky is also director of the Koussevitzky Foundation at the Library of Congress and director of the Fromm Foundation at Harvard University. He has received fellowships from the Guggenheim and Rockefeller Foundations.
