William Schuman, Vincent Persichetti, and Peter Mennin were three of the most significant American composers of the 20th century; yet their music has largely disappeared from view since their respective deaths. Their music is often viewed as 'interchangeable,' partly because they spent the majority of their careers working at the Juilliard School and Lincoln Center. The purpose of this book is to provide a thorough examination of their lives and work, and thereby clarify their considerable individuality, both as composers and as human beings.
