Composer of the Week

Alan Hovhaness (1911 - 2000)

2/5. Not many composers have destroyed a thousand-odd works by their 30th birthday, but that's how it was with Alan Hovhaness. His output was staggeringly prolific, but it wasn't until the 1940s that he felt confident of the work he was producing.

Donald Macleod examines how the composer's work blossomed during this period.
