HADLEY, HENRY KIMBALL

American composer and conductor, born in Somerville, Mass. He conducted much American music and was founder of the National Association for American Composer and Conductors. He was a prolific composer whose most conspicuous characteristic was an expert orchestral sense. His vigorous musical style was deeply indebted to late 19^th-century German romanticism but lacked individuality. His works include five symphonies, tone poems, and choral and chamber music.
