George Perle (6 May 1915 – 23 January 2009) was an American composer and music theorist.
Perles of Wisdom
This serialist style, and atonality in general, was the subject of much of his theoretical writings. -- Wikipedia
The musical world grew weary
Of books about serial theory,
But Perle stayed the course.
And was seldom a source
On subjects more upbeat and cheery.
