The composer's music can be typified as "modern" in craft, but American in character. Shere (a composer and critic) examines Erickson's work within both of these contexts and in a way that is accessible to non-musicians. The biography traces the composer's childhood influences; his studies with Austrian modernist Ernst Krenk; his depression and war years; the early teaching career, and his role as a pioneer of experimental music at the San Francisco Conservatory and the University of California, San Diego. A CD of three of Erickson's works is included with the text, and a list of works by title. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
