A US composer dies in Germany
RIPThe much-recorded Gloria Coates died yesterday in a Munich hospice, her daughter reports. She was 89.
Her date of birth was adjusted five years backwards by the family. She had moved to Munich in 1969.
Coates was an avid abstract painter who applied art techniques to her music and engaged frequently with microtones. She completed 16 symphonies. Much of her music appeared on the Naxos label.
