Vincent Persichetti (1915-1987) was one of the most prolific composers of the 20th century,
writing music for a wide variety of media including orchestra, chorus, band, keyboard and individual instruments. The Vincent
Persichetti Society's purpose is to broaden awareness of this composer's music and promote the performance, research and recording
of his works. EXCITING NEWS! A fantastic new book has just been published which will be of great interest
to all those interested in the music of Vincent Persichetti. Voices of Steel; The Music of William Schuman, Vincent Persichetti
and Peter Mennin by Walter Simmons, published 2011 by Scarecrow Press. This is certainly one of the most significant
contributions to the body of scholarship on this composer in recent year. It is highly recommended and extremely well written,
containing information, insight and perspective on the music of these three composers. This web site is
a work in progress, so comments or suggestions are always welcome.
