Daria Semegen (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Daria Semegen (born June 27, 1946) is an important contemporary American composer of classical music. While she has composed pieces for traditional instruments - her Jeux des quatres (1970), for example, is scored for clarinet, trombone, cello, and piano - she is best known as a "respected electronic composer." She is a figure on the academic side of the electronic music genre, connected with the conservatory and the university (like her older contemporary Karlheinz Stockhausen), rather than the more popular expression of the genre that followed upon the widespread availability of synthesizers and personal computers in the 1970s and after.
