Jonathan Harvey (b 1939) is one of Britain's leading composers: his music is frequently performed throughout Europe, the United States (where he has lived and worked) and Japan. He is particularly renowned for his electro-acoustic music. This book studies music from Harvey's considerable body of work for conventional forces.
