| “ | Although the compositional style of Lou Harrison (1917-2003) evolved and matured during his long and productive life, he held fast to a number of basic aesthetic principles: a devotion to beautiful melody; the foregrounding of rhythm, melody, and counterpoint over harmony; a preference for just-intonation tuning systems; and the integration of influences from diverse world musics. On the present disc, which includes works from 1939 to 1987, all of these characteristics are in evidence. Read More: Liner Notes | ” |

My Lou Harrison anecdote is a very simple yet, I think, an eloquent one.
I ran ino him for the first time as I was walking into one of the elevators in the Juilliard School. The following dialogue ensued:
Me: "Lou Harrison?"
Him: "Yes"
Me: "I love your music"
Him: "Me too!"
many thanks peachfuzz!
