He received a Fulbright grant to study at the Berlin Hochschule für Musik, where he worked with Boris Blacher. He also attended the Bayreuth masterclasses of Friedelind Wagner.[2][6] In 1964 he received a Ford Foundation grant to be a composer-in-residence in the Newton, Massachusetts public school system.[7] He was an assistant and close friend of the composer Virgil Thomson.[8] He served as the president of the Thomson Foundation for many years.[6]
