" . . . Strickland's own deep involvement with the works of these composers is] revealed by the questions and comments he poses in an appreciative, Paterian way. His profound pleasure in these works also leads him to scrutinize and challenge them intimately." --Publishers Weekly

"This is an indispensable book about American music . . . " --Fanfare

" . . . exhilarating . . . Any of the interviews in American Composers will stimulate your curiosity and appetite." --Hungry Mind Review

" . . . not only engaging, but also a useful representation of the major compositional styles of the 1980s and their corresponding practitioners." --Notes

Philip Glass, Keith Jarrett, Meredith Monk, and eight other active American composers reveal a broad spectrum of musical personalities in these candid, in-depth conversations. Witty and articulate, their remarks convey the great vitality, diversity, and distinctiveness of today's American music.
