Richard Einhorn (born 1952) is a modern classical composer.
Graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Columbia University in New York City in 1975, studied composition and electronic music with Jack Beeson, Vladimir Ussachevsky, and Mario Davidovsky.
His most notable work, Voices of Light, premiered in 1994, is an oratorio, scored for soloists, chorus, orchestra and a bell. It was inspired by Carl Theodor Dreyer's silent film The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928). In the 1980s, he composed many horror and thriller film scores, including The Prowler and Sister, Sister. He also contributed to the soundtrack of Liberty! The American Revolution.
On the internet, Einhorn is known as the liberal blogger Tristero. [1]
