Groundbreaking Composer Elliott Carter Dies

Classical Composer and Two-Time Pulitzer Winner Elliott Carter has died.

The late composer was known for using complex rhythms to challenge the audiences' take on music.

"It's not music that makes an over theatrical effect," Carter said. "but it assumes the listener is listening to sounds and making sense out of them."

Carter won 2 Pulitzer prizes, a Grammy nomination, and a National Medal of Arts Award during his lifetime.

He was 103.
