She knew and she learned from Bartok and Schoenberg, yet in the end she went her own Canadian way--that's the line on Jean Coulthard, a professional composer who made UBC one of her many 'musical homes' throughout her seven-decade career. As a friend of Coulthard for 30 years, UBC-based William Bruneau has co-authored a biographical and musical appreciation, Jean Coulthard: A Life in Music (Ronsdale, $22.95) with composer, writer and post-secondary instructor David Gordon Duke, who studied with Coulthard.
