George Winston, a pianist and composer whose unadorned melodies sought to evoke seasonal rhythms of nature and became a signature style of New Age music in the 1980s, died in Williamsport, Pa. He was 74.
Mr. Winston as a specialist in “sleepy tempos and for fashioning arrangements that iron out nearly all harmonic wrinkles.”
Mr. Winston acknowledged that his uncomplicated approach left him open to criticism. “One person’s punk rock is another person’s singing ‘Om’ or playing harp,” he told the Santa Cruz Sentinel in 1982. “It’s all valid — everybody’s got their own path. I wouldn’t want to sit around and listen to me all day.”He scoffed, too, at notions that his work was embedded with a spiritual dimension.
