April 28 - Michael Daugherty (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Michael Daugherty (b. 28 April 1954) is an American composer, pianist, and teacher. 

[For last year's intricate verse on John Jacob Niles click here.] 




High and Low


The music of Daugherty, eclectic and brash,

Is sometimes mistaken for pandering trash.

The question becomes: Is is layered and rich,

Or is it a jumble of middlebrow kitsch?
