Alexander Goehr
Alexander Goehr (born 1932) is a British composer whose bold, intellectual music has left a lasting mark on 20th-century classical music. The son of conductor Walter Goehr, he emerged as part of Manchester's postwar avant-garde "New Music Manchester" scene alongside Harrison Birtwistle and Peter Maxwell Davies. Known for blending serial techniques with rich historical influences (from medieval music to Mahler), his catalog ranges from operas like *Behold the Sun* to chamber works and orchestral pieces. Recent releases like *Marching to Carcassonne* and the haunting *Colossos or Panic* showcase his knack for dramatic storytelling through complex harmonies. A longtime Cambridge professor, Goehr’s music remains both cerebral and vividly expressive – think of it as a crossword puzzle that suddenly bursts into color.
