Biography

Acclaimed composer Gary Lloyd Noland (who goes by the nom de plume Dolly Gray Landon as a writer of plays and fiction) was born in Seattle in 1957 and grew up in Berkeley. As an adolescent, Noland lived for a time in Salzburg (Mozart’s birthplace) and Garmisch-Partenkirchen (home of Richard Strauss), where he absorbed a host of musical influences. Having studied with a long roster of acclaimed composers and musicians, he earn his undergraduate degree in Music from UC Berkeley in 1979 and his graduate degrees in Music Composition from Harvard in 1989.
Noland’s catalogue consists of hundreds of works, which include piano, vocal, chamber, orchestral, experimental, and electronic pieces, full-length plays in verse, “chamber novels,” and graphically notated scores. His critically acclaimed, award-winning 77-hour long Gesamtkunstwerk, JAGDLIED: A CHAMBER NOVEL FOR NARRATOR, MUSICIANS, PANTOMIMIST, DANCERS & CULINARY ARTISTS (Op. 20), was listed as the Number One Book of 2018 by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews.
