MODERN MUSICAL HERO

Elliot Carter made it to 90 and way beyond.

Elliott Carter, Composer Who Decisively Snapped Tradition, Dies at 103

Never lacked for work, Carter won many  prizes including the Pulitzer which is an achievement in itself for a modernist. Carter's work is the kind that you hear a lot and don't really know it is his. I have listened to him for decades of my own life and will continue to do so. Now to honor him as well as the work.
