| Naxos | Roy (originally LeRoy) Ellsworth Harris was born near Chandler, in Oklahoma county, on 12th February 1898, the rich but remote farming territory in which he grew up having a lifelong influence on his music. He was taught the piano by his mother, and later took up the clarinet. Graduating from high school in 1916, he studied at the University of California at Berkeley during the early 1920s, and a meeting with Aaron Copland in 1926 led to his studying in Paris with Nadia Boulanger from 1926 to 1929. His Concerto for Piano, Clarinet and String Quartet established him as a composer of promise, his reputation consolidated at home with Koussevitzky’s championing of his (First) Symphony ‘1933’. |
