Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Karel Husa is a Czechoslovakian-American composer and educator who has made important contributions to modern musical literature. Especially well known for his compositions for wind band, Husa is also in constant demand as a guest conductor and lecturer throughout the musical world. This volume provides a complete guide to his compositions and to recordings of his work, together with a full bibliography. Following a brief biography is a list of Husa's compositions, arranged by genre. Each entry includes the date of composition, duration of the work, and the performance medium, as well as details relating to the commission, premiere, and publication. The discography of commercially produced recordings of Husa's music is arranged alphabetically and supplies information on label and label number, date of issue, contents, and performers. The bibliography is comprehensive, listing writings by and about Husa and annotating each work cited. Systematic cross-referencing is used throughout the book. A convenient resource for musicians and musicologists, this bio-bibliography is an appropriate choice for music and academic libraries.

Life

Romeo Maximilian Eugene Ludwig Gutsche (Americanized to Gene Gutchë), of affluent Polish and French parentage, studied as a child with Feruccio Busoni. In his late teens (1925), in conflict with his father over the notion of a career in music, he came to the United States, settled in Minnesota, and eventually completed a MA in Composition with Donald Ferguson at the University of Minnesota (1950) and a PhD in Composition with Philip Greely Clapp at the University of Iowa (1953).

His vigorous and colorful music, in a personal style which incorporated elements of Hindemith, Bartok and Stravinsky, won numerous international awards and several pieces were recorded (recently reissued by Composers Recordings Incorporated/CRI).

Always a loner and an individualist, Gutchë had no students, followed no particular ‘school’, and lived to compose, aided in many ways by Marion, his wife of 64 years.
