Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The music of Edmund Rubbra is the first comprehensive study of the work of this important but neglected twentieth century British composer. Written by an American musicologist, it features detailed discussions of the music in each genre: the eleven symphonies; other important orchestral music; concertos for piano, violin, and viola together with other concerto-related works; solo instrumental music; chamber music, including four string quartets, two piano trios, and music for various combinations such as recorders and harpsichord; a vast quanitity of choral music; songs; and, finally, miscellaneous works. Supporting these discussions are many detailed analysis, illustrated by 277 music examples. Together, these demonstrate the considerable contrapuntal and rhythmic complexities that are integral parts of Rubbra's musical thought, together with a distinctive and individual style. Rubbra wrote analytical articles on his music, and excerpts from these are often intertwined with the author's analyses. In addition, significant reviews of his music, gathered from leading musical journals, are included.

Download or read book Spiritual Dimensions in the Music of Edmund Rubbra written by Lucinda Cradduck and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-20 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edmund Rubbra’s music has given him a reputation as a ‘spiritual’ composer, who had an interest in Eastern thought, and a mid-life conversion to Roman Catholicism. This book takes a wide and detailed view of ‘spiritual’ dimensions or strands that were important in his life, positioning them both biographically and within the context of contemporaneous English culture. It proceeds to interpret through detailed analysis the ways these spiritual aspects are reflected in specific compositions. Thematical treatment of these spiritual issues, touching on Theosophy, dance, Eastern religions and thought, nature, the evolutionary theory of Teilhard de Chardin and the Christ figure, presents a multi-faceted view of Rubbra’s life and music. Its contribution to a scholarly re-evaluation of his place within twentieth-century British music and culture engages and meshes with several areas of current scholarly research in the arts and humanities, including academic interest in Theosophy, modernism and the arts, experimental dance and the Indian cultural renaissance and East–West musical interactions of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It also adds to a burgeoning body of writings on music and spirituality, fuelled by the popularity of later twentieth-century and contemporary composers who make more overt spiritual references in their music.
Download or read book Edmund Rubbra Symphonist written by Leo Black and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2014 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leo Black, a pupil of Rubbra in the 1950s, presents a full-scale study of his symphonies (the first for twenty years). A biographical sketch throws light on legends about the BBC and Rubbra; there are full programme notes on eachsymphony, with accounts of important non-symphonic works. The music of Edmund Rubbra (1901-1986) has been unjustly neglected - arguably because its wide-ranging nature makes it difficult to categorise. He is perhaps best known as a symphonist; his eleven symphonies covered a period of musical and political upheaval [1934 - 1980], the first four reflecting the uneasy later 1930s, with a second global conflict no longer avoidable. The immediately-post-war ones document new emotional depths and his conversion, whilethe final symphonies show a man still in search of peace and reconciliation, overlooked by the world but certain he was on the right path. Leo Black, a pupil of Rubbra at Oxford in the 1950s, here presents a sympatheticfull-scale study of these works (the first for some twenty years). A succinct biographical sketch throws light on legends about the BBC and Rubbra; there are full programme notes on each symphony, with shorter accounts of important non-symphonic works, in particular a 'triptych' of concertos from the 1950s and major liturgical pieces composed around the time of the Second Vatican Council, after Rubbra's conversion to Catholicism. He also deals with the vexed question of Rubbra's mysticism. LEO BLACK is a former BBC chief producer for music and author of the highly-acclaimed Franz Schubert: Music and Belief [2003].
