  Henry Brant Dies
  By Frank J. Oteri
  NewMusicBox
  April 29, 2008

  Henry Brant, pre-eminent composer of acoustic spatial music,
  died on Saturday in his home in Santa Barbara, CA. He was 94.

  Brant received the Pulitzer Prize in 2002 for his orchestral
  work "Ice Field."

  "A composer of hundreds of works," reports NewMusicBox,
  "many featuring enormous and unique ensembles such as 80
  trombones, Brant was one of the last surviving members of
  the original generation of early 20th-century American
  maverick composers."
