born in New York, NY, composed during the Modern period
The long term influence of American composer William Schuman (1910-1992) derives from his work as an academic; as head of the Juilliard School of Music, Schuman was one of the most effective musical administrators in American history and was instrumental in founding Lincoln Center in New York City. Schuman won the first Pulitzer Prize for music for A Free Song (1943), but withdrew most of the music he wrote before that. In posterity he is best known for his arrangements for orchestra and concert band of Charles Ives' Variations on America (1961), his New England Tryptich (1956) and George Washington Bridge (1950). ~ Uncle Dave Lewis , Rovi
