-Alfred Reed was an American neoclassical composer, with more than two hundred published works for concert band, orchestra, chorus and chamber ensemble to his name. He also traveled extensively as a guest conductor, performing in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia. Alfred Reed was the executive editor of Hansen Publications, a music publisher. He was the professor of music at the University of Miami where he worked with composer Clifton Williams from 1966 until the latter's death in 1976. Williams' office was across the hall from Reed's office in the UM School of Music, and Reed was chairman of the department of Music Media and Industry and director of the Music Industry Program at the time of his retirement. He established the very first college-level music business curriculum at the University of Miami in 1966, which led other colleges and universities to follow suit. At the time of his death, he had composition commissions that would have taken him to the age of 115.[citation needed] Many of Reed's wind band compositions have been released as CD recordings by the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra.
