about
Harold Melvin Triggs (December 25, 1900 - July, 1984)[1][2] was an American composer and pianist. A native of Denver, where his father directed a company which sold musical instruments,[1] Triggs studied at the Bush Conservatory under Julie Rivé-King,[3] and also had lessons with Josef Lhévinne.[4] He had a long career as a teacher, beginning at his alma mater[3] and continuing at the Juilliard School and Columbia University. Concurrently he appeared as a concert pianist, both alone and as a duo with Vera Brodsky. Most of his music is for piano; other works include the orchestral The Bright Land, which was taken up by Leopold Stokowski and Howard Hanson among others, and recorded by the latter.[5] As a pianist Triggs made a number of piano rolls during his career.[1] Triggs died in Thomasville, Georgia.[1] His papers are held by Columbia University.[2] User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
