Lou Harrison: A World of Music paints an intimate portrait of an extraordinary American composer who followed his own dreams with unbridled style. Trading a fast-paced New York career for a remote cabin in the woods to recover from a breakdown, Lou Harrison (1917-2003) confronted his demons by writing beautiful music. Bucking the dissonant sound of the times he embraced \"delight over duty,\" freely combining Western, Eastern and custom-made instruments built by his partner, William Colvig. Harrison\'s artistic curiosity and courage produced one of the great trans-cultural visions and musical legacies of the 20th century. This documentary is the culmination of two decades of documentation and research resulting in 300+ hours of performances, rehearsals, and interviews that were made with Lou Harrison, his life partner William Colvig, and Harrison\'s contemporaries and associates. Harrison\'s hauntingly beautiful music is interwoven throughout the film, illustrating his life with the stylistic changes in his work. Over sixty years of archival imagery helps to paint a comprehensive, yet lyrical portrait of the man, his times and his legacy.
