Description

Creative Harmony is an advanced theory textbook by the famous American composer George Frederick McKay (1899-1970) whose music has been presented by conductors Leopold Stokowski, Sir Thomas Beecham, Leonard Slatkin, Arthur Fiedler, Howard Hanson, Karl Krueger, Frederick Fennell, Arthur Benjamin and John McLaughlin Williams. His students have won the Grammy Award, an Academy Award, The Pulitzer and the National Medal for the Arts, in addition to several Guggenheim Grants. Professor McKay also had several hundred of his works published and is currently recorded on several NAXOS CD recordings which receive extensive playings on radio channels and the internet. McKay developed encouraging and experiential teaching techniques over 4 decades of work at the University of Washington, Seattle, and was honored to be commissioned to compose the Seattle Centennial Symphony in 1951, which was performed and broadcast by the Seattle Symphony for the occasion.
