As long as he didn’t write “Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog” he’s alright in my book.
Awful news. Prayers to his family and friends during this tragic time.
I wish him well in the next world. R.I.P.
Just don’t ask me to listen to any of his music.
RIP.
When you are over 100, it’s not safe to plan on still being around 27 years from now.
His Symphony 1 is a great work. Didn’t like his other stuff much.
RIP
He had a Copland-esque populist phase early in his career.
I’m with you here : )
