ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my deep gratitude to the chairman of my doctoral committee, Dr. Daniel Sher, whose long hours on this project were a sacrificial feat in view of the many demands on him as performer, educator, and ad ministrator. I am especially indebted to Dr. Jack Guerry, who willingly stepped in as committee chairman when the need arose and (with his wonderful combination of knowledge and orderliness) gave me an enormous amount of his valuable attention. I appreciate the analytical insights of Mr. Paul Abel and his willingness to serve on my reading committee, and the general support of the two other members of my com mittee, Dr. Milton Hallman and Dr. Wallace McKenzie. I would also like to thank Miss Zelpha Russell for handling the correspondence so vital to this project. Appreciation is also expressed to David Diamond, Lukas Foss, and Paul Bowles for their cooperation in the selection of examples from their compositions, to Bennett Lerner for supplying a copy of nLa Cuelga" by Bowles, and to the following publishers for permission to reproduce copyright material: Warner Bros.
