I wanted to share Norman Ryan’s very moving tribute to Lee Hoiby which we just posted to NewMusicBox: http://www.newmusicbox.org/article.nmbx?id=6851

I knew Lee Hoiby as a personal friend and I am saddened to hear of his death. He was most of all a generous person, who worked and gave tiredlessly always. He shall be missed.

As a footnote to correct one point, it would be hard to imagine anyone less “Dadaist” than Harry Partch (in whose ensemble at Madison Lee Hoiby did indeed play the Kithara).
