Literary Britten
If the citations in this book are any guide, Britten scholarship is moving decisively away from the concerns of the pioneering generation born in the late 1920s and 1930s, with their quest for insights resulting from close attention to what is apprehended by the ear and detectable in the score: the index shows that Peter Evans’s The Music of Benjamin Britten (London, 1979) is accorded just two references, both very much en passant, and Arnold Whi…
Bridge and Britten, Britten and Bridge
Britten and Bridge have been bracketed together since Britten’s tribute to his teacher in his fiftieth-birthday reminiscence. It was largely through Britten’s endeavours that Bridge’s name was kept alive during the forties and fifties, through the Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge, while Britten’s programming of Bridge’s music in Aldeburgh Festival concerts and the publication of select late scores by his own publisher, Faber Music, led the r…

The Cambridge Companion to Elgar
Edward Elgar occupies a pivotal place in the British cultural imagination. His music has been heard as emblematic of Empire and the English landscape. The recent success of Anthony Payne's elaboration of the sketches for Elgar's Third Symphony has prompted a critical revaluation of his music. This Companion provides an accessible and vivid account of Elgar's work in its historical and cultural context. Established authorities on British music and…
Smalley, (John) Roger
Early Benjamin Britten
Britten and the Circle of Fifths
Britten‘s music is usually thought of as tonal, even if the term is sometimes qualified.’ Much of the drama of his operas (at least, up to and including A Midsummer Night's Dream , op. 64 (1960)) has been discussed in terms of ‘tonal action’, as have the structures of individual songs, song cycles and purely instrumental works. Yet his earliest published works are not tonal in the same way as later, more widely known ones. Not until the works of …
Soft Coal, Hard Choices
This is a study of the economic lives of American bituminous coal miners in the early part of this century. Most studies of labour in coal mining focus on the struggle to organize unions. This study offers a broader, more quantitative picture of the labour market, making use of economic theory and statistics, and emphasizing competition among employers for labour, the legal environment, the development of institutions in response to transactions …
Language, Form and Structure in the Music of Michael Tippett
Rescue from Neglect
Contextually Transformed Tonality in Britten
It has been shown many times that tonal functions play a key role in articulating form in Britten's music.* However, much of his harmony is 'non-functional', or contextual, and this aspect has so far elicited little in the way of detailed analysis.' That such harmony is an essential ingredient of Britten's style, and therefore demands serious attention, is demonstrated succinctly by the opening passage (bs 1-24) of the First String Quartet, Op. 2…
