Biographical History
Harold Bruce Forsythe was an African-American composer, author, and poet of the 1920s and 1930s. Born in 1908, he grew up in Los Angeles, attended Manual Arts High School, and later studied classical piano and composition at Julliard Graduate School from 1927-1928. He collaborated with composer William Grant Still in composing the operas "The Sorcerer" and "Blue Steel". By 1940, Forsythe's advancing deafness ended his career as a musician and composer. He died in 1976.
