Yet in time, Sowerby's Pulitzer Prize-winning The Canticle of the Sun and the rest of his corpus lost favor with the A-list symphonies and prominent musicians who had once made him a fixture in their repertoires. Joseph Sargent's biography offers the first focused study of Sowerby's life and work against the backdrop of the composer's place in American music.
