HUSA, KAREL BIOGRAPHY

(b 1921 )

A native of Prague, Karel Husa studied also in Paris, notably with Honegger and Nadia Boulanger, later settling in the United States. His work as a composer was for some time limited by his distinguished career as a conductor. His musical language successfully combines contemporary harmonic idiom with a neo-classical attention to form and balance. His Music for Prague reflects his reaction to the suppression of newly developing freedom in Prague in 1968.
