  • Book Description

    Harrison Birtwistle is one of the most eminent and acclaimed of contemporary British composers. This is the first book to provide a comprehensive view of his large and varied output, containing descriptions of every published work, and also of a number of withdrawn and unpublished pieces. The book is structured around a number of broad themes--theatre, song, time and texture--themes of significance to Birtwistle, but also to much other music. This approach avoids in-depth technical analysis, and Dr Adlington focuses instead upon the music's wider cultural significance.
