Langinger, Herman
Biographical Note
Herman Langinger (1908-1979) was born in Spas, Austria. He immigrated to the United States as a teenager and eventually settled in New York City, where he cultivated the craft of music engraving. After working on the score of Charles Ives' Symphony no. 4, Langinger became known for handling difficult contemporary works. In 1928, he moved to San Francisco and started his own publishing house, Golden West Music Press. He subsequently began publishing Henry Cowell's quarterly serial New Music and became an influential figure in West Coast avant-garde circles. Langinger engraved such high profile pieces as Edgar Varese's Ionisation and works by Carl Ruggles, Roy Harris, and Arnold Schoenberg.
