'Sometimes I liken the creative act to that of being a good gardener. The musical material itself, the harmonies, rhythms, the timbres and tempi, are seeds you have planted. Composing, bringing forth the final formal arrangement of these elements, is often a business of watching them grow, knowing when to nourish and water them and when to prune and weed.' A book unlike anything ever written by a composer, part memoir and part description of the creative process, Hallelujah Junction is an absorbing journey through the musical landscape of John Adams, one of today's most admired and frequently performed composers. A musician of enormous range and technical command, Adams has built a huge audience worldwide through the immediacy and sincerity of his music, such as his Pulitzer prize-winning memorial for the September 11 attack On The Transmigration of Souls. Hallelujah Junction isn't so much an autobiography as a fascinating journey through the musical landscape of his life and times, centred around the three highly controversial operas based on social and political issues he has written in the past twenty-five years - Nixon in China, The Death of Klinghoffer and, most recently, Dr Atomic.

Biografía del autor:
John Adams was born in Massachusetts in 1947. He is the composer of numerous acclaimed works, includingHarmonielehre, Nixon in China, Naive and Sentimental Music, El Nino, The Death of Klinghoffer, The Gospel According to the Other Mary and a memorial for the victims of September 11, On The Transmigration of Souls, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 2003. He lives in Berkeley, California.
Biografía del autor:
Born and raised in New England, John Adams was exposed to both classical and jazz music from an early age. After graduating from Harvard during the tumultuous period of the late sixties he moved to San Francisco and has lived in northern California ever since. Adams' music, rooted in the driving pulses and emotional directness of American popular music, was instrumental in a historical shift of style away from the cool abstractions of dissonant Modernism that had come to dominate contemporary music during the latter half of the twentieth century. As a composer of richly scored and expressive symphonic works (Harmonium, Harmonielehre, Shaker Loops, Naive and Sentimental Music) and creator of some of the most controversial and successful operas in recent memory (Nixon in China, The Death of Klinghoffer, El Nino, Doctor Atomic), he has established a compelling new voice for contemporary music in our time. Adams is a musical polymath, active in all areas of his art. In addition to conducting the world's major symphony orchestras, conceiving and curating highly successful international festivals and composing large-scale soundscapes of electronic and instrumental music, he is also one of our most incisive commentators on the state of contemporary culture and the arts.
