July 5 - George Rochberg (The Musical Birthday Series)

George Rochberg (5 July 1918 – 29 May 2005) was an influential, and sometimes controversial American composer.

 Karma Chameleon

George Rochberg kept critics confused

With the changing techniques that he used,

Twelve tone and collage

And pastiche and homage 

And tonality all interfused.
