Jonathan Harvey (1939-2012)
Novello & Co. and the Music Sales Groups of Companies are sad to announce the death of Jonathan Harvey, who passed away on December 4, 2012 at his home in Lewes, after a long battle with a terminal illness of the central nervous system.

Harvey studied at Cambridge and Princeton, and later taught at Southampton and Sussex universities. His early music shows influences of Britten, Messiaen, Stockhausen and Davies, and since the early 1970s, he developed a more integrated style and emerged as an outstanding composer of electronic music.

A number of early works by Jonathan Harvey are published by Novello.
