PECNOTE

In the spring of 1990, Greensboro composer Russell Peck visited the American
Music Seminar.  Conversations covered Peck's development as a composer, his
education at the Eastman School and the University of Michigan, as well as
various teachers including Ross Lee Finney.  He also discussed the New-Music
activities in Ann Arbor, Michigan during the '60's and early '70's.

The members of the seminar had listened to several of Peck's compositions,
including Signs of Life for string orchestra.  Discussions surrounded this 
and other pieces, Peck's concepts of style and his feelings about the 
orchestra.

PECBIO - contains a brief biographical essay

PECCMP - a worklist and various program notes and "histories"

Since that meeting, a CD of Peck's orchestral music has been released
by Albany Records.
