Composer of the Week

Alan Hovhaness (1911 - 2000)

Part Four

4/5. Alan Hovhaness's experience of the court music of Korea led him to remark 'I thought this was the most mysterious music I had ever heard', and for him the 1960s became a time when he immersed himself in the music and culture of the far East, developing a very personal amalgamation of occidental and oriental traditions. Donald Macleod surveys the work of this period.
