Paul Bowles
Paul Bowles (1910-1999) was an American composer and writer who settled in Tangier in 1947 and lived there for the rest of his life. A student of Aaron Copland and Virgil Thomson, he wrote theatre music for plays by Tennessee Williams before becoming known as the author of The Sheltering Sky (1949). In 1959 he recorded traditional Moroccan music for the Library of Congress. Bowles's stage scores include music for The Glass Menagerie and Sweet Bird of Youth, and he was married to the writer Jane Bowles (born Jane Auer) from 1938.
