The latest entry in Harper & Row's series on the professions explores composition as a career. Best known for her musical theater work (e.g., Doonesbury ), Swados has also written operas, oratorios, and TV and film scores. With this broard perspective, she addresses many musical styles (rock, jazz, classical), work settings (concert hall, theater, recording studio), and the composer's job from creative impulse to the craft of composition to the practical task of getting the music performed. Some of Swados's observations are too personal to be considered typical of all composers, but she offers practical advice sure to be an eye-opener for many young musicians. This book glories in composition as art without overlooking the realities of the occupation. Mark H. Sullivan, Univ. of North Carolina at Charlotte Lib.
