Biography: Jan Swafford's "Charles Ives: A Life With Music" is the finest I've ever read (three times!). He accomplishes a miracle in that his prose is evocative of Ives' music. Amazing.
"A Heart at the Fire's Center: The Life and Music of Bernard Herrmann." I traveled all the way to Los Angeles in '91 just to attend the first book signing for this bio of my favorite composer.
