Bill Holst, son of author Hinako Fujihara-Hovhaness, stopped by to discuss the new book "Alan Hovhaness: Unveiling One of the Great Composers of the 20th Century".
Published after her death, Bill took on this book as a mission to complete his mother's work. What resulted was a rare and unvarnished glimpse into the life of a musical genius through her writing. The music of Alan Hovhaness still resonates today, and this book offers the reader a great opportunity to learn more about this great composer and his influences.
