|
| Item Type: Sound Recording |
Duration: 107 min |
| Event Type: Interview |
Program Origin: KPFA |
Charles Amirkhanian interviews composer John Duffy, whose television series soundtrack “Heritage: Civilization & The Jews,” has been reworked into a suite for orchestra with narrator. Duffy, the founder of the Meet the Composer organization, which assists groups in bringing composers to meet their audiences, has had a revolutionary impact on the American music scene of the late 20th century. Now Charles Amirkhanian plays turnabout and brings you John Duffy himself, interviewed shortly after his 60th birthday in his Manhattan studio on October 9, 1988. In this wide ranging interview Duffy discusses the role of religion in his life, his early studies with Henry Cowell and Luigi Dallapiccola, and the philosophy behind the Meet the Composer series.
