The Music of Harrison Birtwistle (Music in the Twentieth Century) Book

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view of his large and varied output, containing descriptions of every published work, and also of a number of withdrawn and unpublished pieces.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.Read More
