Composers BureauHerbert BielawaBiography Herbert Bielawa earned his degrees in piano and composition at the University of Illinois and the University of Southern California. He has been a member of the faculties of Bethany College and San Francisco State University where he founded the Pro Music Nova and created the electronic music studio and courses for the Computer Music Major. He has written music for instrumental ensembles, piano, harpsichord, pipe organ, choir, electronics, chamber opera, band and orchestra. His much-performed SPECTRUM for Band and Tape was composed during his CMP (Contemporary Music Project) residency in Houston from 1964 to 1966. Since 1991 he has been a free-lance composer and pianist. His interest in American music and the music of women in particular led to a series of concerts in 1986 and 1987 music by Amy Beach and himself. His most recent music commissions were from Meet the Composer, the Minneapolis Convention Center, the San Francisco School of the Arts, the American Guild of Organists and Earplay. Among the soloists who have performed his works are hornist Barry Tuckwell, sopranos Anna Carol Dudley, Marian Marsh and Judy Hubbell, pianists Margaret Mills and Joel Sachs, and organists Sandra Soderlund, Alex Post, Delbert Disselhorst and Pamela Decker. His Fluxbands for Eleven Instruments will be performed by North/South Consonance, Inc. in New York in January 1997. Compositions Recordings
