born Dec. 28, 1896, Brooklyn, N.Y., U.S.
died March 16, 1985, Princeton, N.J.
U.S. composer.
He attended Harvard and Yale, lived in Italy and Germany (1925–33), and later taught principally at Princeton University (1935–45, 1953–65). His early interest in Neoclassicism was replaced с 1953 by his adoption of
serialism. His works include the operas
The Trial of Lucullus (1947) and
Montezuma (1963), incidental music to
The Black Maskers (1923), eight symphonies, a
Concerto for Orchestra (1982, Pulitzer Prize), and the
cantata When Lilacs Last in the Door-yard Bloom'd (1970), as well as several widely read books on music.
