"Michael Harrison, the classical composer who helped re-define the role of Just Intonation in the American canon, died in New York City on April 17, 2026 at the age of 67. The cause of death was complication from pancreatic cancer.

One of Harrison's most famous works, Revelation (2005), was described by the music critic Tim Page as, "the most brilliant and original extended composition for solo piano since the early works of Frederic Rzewski." It placed him directly in the lineage of his teachers, La Monte Young, Terry Riley and Pandit Pran Nath, the Indian classical vocalist known for his profound influence on American minimalist composers. His work with Pran Nath became the foundation for Harrison combining Eastern and Western musical traditions."
