Let's make this birthday one to remember.

91 years old (Born on March 02, 1934)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Bernard Rands—Pulitzer prize-winning composer, breaker-of-boundaries, and creator of contemporary classical sounds that keep audiences pleasantly puzzled yet profoundly moved! Your compositions have echoed through concert halls gracefully ticking off everything from stunning symphonies to captivating operas.

From your memorable Pulitzer Prize for "Canti del Sole" in 1984 right up until today's inspiring new works—you truly are timeless. May this birthday be a grand crescendo filled with brilliant harmonies…and perhaps fewer experimental dissonances than usual!

Cheers on another spin around the sun; may it continue bringing sweet notes (and applause!) aplenty. Happy Birthday Maestro Rands!
