Description: New English Music : Composers and Folk Traditions in England's Musical Renaissance from the Late 19th to the Mid-20th Century, Paperback by Rayborn, Tim; Marshall-Luck, Em (FRW), ISBN 0786496347, ISBN-13 9780786496341, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The turn of the 20th century was a time of great change in Britain. The empire saw its global influence waning and its traditional social structures challenged. There was a growing weariness of industrialism and a desire to rediscover tradition and the roots of English heritage. A new interest in English folk song and dance inspired art music, which many believed was seeing a renaissance after a period of stagnation since the 18th century. This book focuses on the lives of seven composers—Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst, Ernest Moeran, George Butterworth, Philip Heseltine (Peter Warlock), Gerald Finzi and Percy Grainger—whose work was influenced by folk songs and early music. Each chapter provides an historical background and tells the fascinating story of a musical life.
