Description
|
|
|
|
For more than half a century contemporary British composer Sir Harrison Birtwistle has been challenging audiences with his mixture of medieval and modern music. This book uncovers the sources of Birtwistle’s art and presents a critical account of his musical, dramatic, and aesthetic preoccupations through an exploration of such topics as theater, myth, and ritual. It places Birtwistle in a broad cultural context, examining the composers and painters who have influenced his work.
