 He also is known for the song cycles "Six Elizabethan Songs" and "From the Diary of Virginia Woolf"; the latter earned him the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1975.
 In a predominantly tonal context, his music freely combines tonality, atonality and a lyrical use of twelve-tone writing, though none of Argento's music approaches the experimental "avant garde" fashions of the post-World War II era.
