Hoiby, Lee. (1926–2011). Autograph musical quotation signed.
AMQS by the American composer from his opera Summer and Smoke. One staff. Inscribed, "for Steve Juscik / Summer and Smoke / Lee Hoiby /5-21-92. Upper half of sheet cut from a 12-staff pad. 5.5 x 8.5 inches (14 x 21.5 cm). In fine condition.
"As a composer Hoiby was a modern Romantic from the lineage of Barber and Menotti. Though much of his music is characterized by a disarming diatonic simplicity, his ambitious works tend towards greater harmonic and textural complexity. Interest in his music has centred chiefly around his operatic, choral and vocal works, which seem to stimulate his most deeply felt efforts." Richard Jackson and Walter G. Simmons in Grove Music Online
