Composer, born in Albany, Georgia, USA.

His works, which show the influence of Schoenberg's ‘12-note’ system and his German training, received little attention until the performance of his third symphony in 1948, after which he was increasingly recognized. He wrote extensively for orchestra and for chamber music combinations.
