In A Perfect Cadence, he discusses his life and career: his musical education in the 1930s and 1940s; his years studying with Nadia Boulanger in Paris; his friendship and professional relationship with Leonard Bernstein in New York; his time on Broadway and in Hollywood, working with actors and directors, from Sophia Loren and Richard Burton to George Lucas; his celebrated scores, from The Miracle Worker and Becket to Clash of the Titans and The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles; reflections on the craft of film music, and how it has changed in the last half-century; and personal impressions on aging and facing death at the age of 97.

Witness a life dedicated to music and movies.
