DIAMOND, DAVID

1915–, American composer, b. Rochester, N.Y. Diamond was trained at the Cleveland Institute of Music and the Eastman School; he also studied with Roger Sessions and Nadia Boulanger. He has composed in a variety of styles, beginning with neoclassical works in the 1930s and developing a romantic phase prior to his use of twelve-tone technique in the late 1950s. Diamond has written much chamber and vocal music; nine symphonies; music for Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, The Tempest, and Timon of Athens; and Rounds (1944), for strings, his best-known work.
