Charles Wuorinen
Charles Peter Wuorinen (; June 9, 1938 – March 11, 2020) was an American composer of
contemporary classical music based in New York City. He also performed as a pianist and conductor. Wuorinen composed more than 270 works: orchestral music,
chamber music, solo instrumental and vocal works, and operas, such as ''
Brokeback Mountain''. His work was termed
serialist but he came to disparage that idea as meaningless. ''
Time's Encomium'', his only purely
electronic piece, received the
Pulitzer Prize. Wuorinen taught at several institutions, including
Columbia University,
Rutgers University and the
Manhattan School of Music.
