Carman Moore is an American composer, conductor, and teacher, born on October 8, 1936. He first obtained an undergraduate degree from Ohio State University and, after moving to New York, graduated from Juilliard with honors. His teachers there were Luciano Berio and Vincent Persichetti, among others. He is probably the best composer you have never heard of. That is a complete mystery to me. Critics across the board have consistently praised his music. His music has been performed by many great orchestras around the world, including the New York Philharmonic, the Cleveland Orchestra, and the San Francisco Symphony. He writes and arranges music for ballet, film, and theatre, and has written concertos, chamber music, and operas, in addition to many songs. He is the founder and conductor of the Skymusic Ensemble. Moore has also taught at Yale University School of Music and Carnegie-Mellon University. He also has a page on MySpace that includes a wonderful song for peace - sung by a child. I urge you to see it. http://www.myspace.com/carmanmoore
