Andrew Imbrie, the composer of many arresting and impeccably crafted musical works and a generous teacher to several generations of younger composers, died Wednesday, 5 DEC 2007, at his Berkeley, California home after a long illness. He was 86. Mr. Imbrie's music, which included operas, symphonies, concertos and a wealth of chamber scores, was a predominating presence in the musical life of the Bay Area for many decades. His opera "Angle of Repose," based on Wallace Stegner's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, was commissioned and premiered by the San Francisco Opera in 1976.
