Trained as a musician and an engineer at the University of Michigan, composer Roger Reynolds has been one of the major voices in contemporary music during the past half-century. In 1998, the Library of Congress established the Roger Reynolds Collection, and this site offers a tour through his works and life. Visitors to the site can look over a list of his works, which include theatrical productions, digital signal processing, video installations, and real-time computer spatialization. Moving down the site's homepage, visitors can browse the collection by format, search by keyword, and also take a look at two special presentations: "The Genealogy of Transfigured Wind" and "An Interview with Roger Reynolds". "The Genealogy of Transfigured Wind" affords visitors a series of illustrated histories and diagrams that provide substantial insight into how Reynolds created the series of compositions "Transfigured Wind".
