Biographical History
William Albright-organist, composer, and University of Michigan faculty member-was born in Indiana in 1944 and died in 1998.
Albright earned three music composition degrees from the University of Michigan before becoming a member of the composition faculty at the U. of M. School of Music. Albright is probably best known for his piano and organ perfomance. He helped to bring about a revival of ragtime, and sought inclusion of ragtime and other types of popular music in many of his compositions.
He composed for many single instruments-especially the organ-and ensembles, and for orchestra. He also composed hymns, and was the music director for the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Ann Arbor, Michigan. He studied composition with Ross Lee Finney, George Rochberg, and Olivier Messiaen, among others, at Michigan and at summer workshops, and organ with Marilyn Mason.
