Beschreibung

An icon of British national identity and one of the most widely performed twentieth-century composers, Ralph Vaughan Williams has been as much misunderstood as revered; his international impact and enduring influence on areas as diverse as church music, film scores and popular music has been insufficiently appreciated.

This volume brings together a team of leading scholars, examining all areas of the composer's output from new perspectives, and re-evaluating the cultural politics of his lifelong advocacy for the music-making of ordinary people. Surveys of major genres are complemented by chapters exploring such topics as the composer's relationship with the BBC and his studies with Ravel; uniquely, the book also includes specially commissioned interviews with major living composers Peter Maxwell Davies, Piers Hellawell, Nicola Lefanu and Anthony Payne. The Companion is a vital resource for all those interested in this pivotal figure of modern music.

  • The first comprehensive re-examination of Vaughan Williams's music, its context and its reception to appear since the 1980s, this Companion contains a diversity of approaches and perspectives from leading scholars in the field
  • Includes discussions of works by the composer that have only recently been rediscovered and performed – the first time that these works have been examined
  • Features insightful interviews with the composers Peter Maxwell Davies, Piers Hellawell, Nicola LeFanu and Anthony Payne, providing acknowledgement of Vaughan Williams's often overlooked modernity by British composers who have followed him
