William Henry Presser (19 April 1916, Saginaw, Michigan – 20 August 2004, Lafayette, Louisiana)[1][2] was a prominent American composer, violinist, and a publisher of American chamber music particularly for brass and woodwinds. Both as a composer and a publisher, he pioneered repertoire for unfamiliar instruments and combinations, such as duets for oboe with trombone, and concert recital works for instruments such as baritone saxophone and alto clarinet. He earned degrees in violin and theory from Alma College,[1] University of Michigan,[2] and the Eastman School of Music.[3] His teachers included Roy Harris, Gardner Read, Bernard Rogers, Burrill Phillips, and Pierre Monteux. Presser performed both as violinist and violist in the San Francisco Symphony and Rochester Philharmonic, and he taught at six colleges. In addition to a long association with the Interlochen summer camp, he taught composition at University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg from 1953 through 1981. Over 130 works by William Presser are in the catalogs of twenty publishers. His chamber works for winds and brass are staples of the repertoire, appearing on many contest lists and college recitals. William Presser founded Tritone Press & Tenuto Publications in 1961 and over 41 years built a catalog of over 350 works by over 50 American composers.[4] References1. ^1 {{Cite web |url=http://www.alma.edu/alumni/accents/archives/2005_winter/obituaries |title=Alma College: In Memory |publisher=Alma College |accessdate=25 January 2012}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Presser, William}}{{US-composer-20thC-stub}}2. ^1 {{Cite web |url=http://www.music.umich.edu/alumni_donors/documents/InMemoriam.pdf |title=In Memoriam (University of Michigan Alumni/Donors) |publisher=University of Michigan |page=2 |accessdate=25 January 2012}} 3. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www.esm.rochester.edu/theory/alumni/ |title=Theory Department Alumni – Music Theory - Eastman School of Music |accessdate=25 January 2012}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tritone-tenuto.com/presser-full%20bio.htm |title=William Presser - full bio - Tritone Press & Tenuto Publications |publisher=Tritone-tenuto.com |date= |accessdate=2011-12-26}} 10 : 1916 births|2004 deaths|American classical violinists|American male violinists|American classical violists|American male composers|University of Michigan alumni|20th-century classical violinists|20th-century American composers|20th-century male musicians |
