GAYTHER MYERS, while self-taught, studied music composition with Walter Aschaffenberg, Joseph Wood at the Oberlin Conservatory, Caesar Bresgen at the Mozarteum, and Stanley Wolfe at Juilliard. Also, as a playwright, I studied with John Gassner at the Yale Drama School. Productions off-off-Broadway and regional productions include Memphis Aside at Quaigh Theatre, Hot Gilly Mo, with incidental music, at the American Theatre of Actors (for which at the time he received the most promising playwright award), the Musical plays The Benz at Wooden O Theatre, and Music Theatre of Minneapolis, and My Lord What a Morning, at the Apple Corps Theatre. Of his four operas, only selections have been produced. A Miracle Now and Then, by Opera Columbus and Terezin, are noteworthy. Gayther Myers is transcribing and editing the vast musical legacy of Samuel Gottschall Vaez, an outstanding 18th-century composer whose works are unpublished.
