Sargon, Simon
Simon Sargon (1938- ) was born in Bombay, India, of Sephardic-Indian and Ashkenazic-Russian descent and was brought to the United States as an infant. He took private piano lessons with Mieczyslaw Horszowski and studied music theory at Brandeis University, from which he graduated magna cum laude. He went on to study composition at Juilliard under Vincent Persichetti and at the Aspen School of Music under Darius Milhaud. Mr. Sargon taught at Sarah Lawrence College from 1965-1968 and served as the head of the Voice Department of the Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem from 1971-1974. In 1974, he was appointed the director of music at Temple Emanu-El in Dallas, Texas, and in 1984 he joined the music faculty of Southern Methodist University, where he currently serves as a professor of composition. Mr. Sargon's works are published by Transcontinental Music Publications, Boosey and Hawkes, Southern Music, and Lawson-Gould. He is listed in Baker's Biography and the International Who's Who in Music (eleventh edition). His work as both composer and pianist can be heard on the New World, Crystal, Ongaku, and Gasparo labels. Two CDs devoted entirely to his compositions have been issued by Gasparo: Shema (Transcontinental 950033, GSCD 318), featuring works published by Transcontinental Music, and A Clear Midnight (GSCD 333).
