The American composer Christopher Rouse has died. Rouse was the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1993 for his Trombone Concerto. His final work, his Symphony No. 6, will be given its world premiere by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra on October 18-19. A life-long Baltimore resident, Rouse was 70 years-old.
