Stylish and accessible, Wilder's musical oeuvre ranged from sonatas, suites, concertos, operas, ballets, and art songs to woodwind quintets, brass quintets, jazz suites, and hundreds of popular songs. In this biography and critical investigation of Wilder's music, Philip Lambert chronicles Wilder's early work as a part-time student at the Eastman School of Music, his ascent through the ranks of the commercial recording industry in New York City in the 1930's and 1940's, his turn toward concert music from the 1950's onward, and his devotion late in his life to the study of American popular songs of the first half of the twentieth century.American composers.ComposersUnited StatesBiographyElectronic books.Composers780.92BLambert Philip1958-1056554MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465510903321Alec Wilder2491015UNINA
