Jacob Druckman

Jacob Druckman (1928-1996) was an American composer, born in Philadelphia, who died in New Haven, Connecticut. He wrote for orchestra, chamber groups, voices and electronic sound, moving from serial methods toward music that draws on older composers, and he won the 1972 Pulitzer Prize for the orchestral piece Windows. He taught composition at Yale from 1976 and was composer-in-residence of the New York Philharmonic from 1982.
