Download or read book Ode to Death H 144 written by Gustav Holst and published by Serenissima Music. This book was released on 2022-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered by many to be Holst's most beautiful choral work, Ode to Death was composed in 1919 as a tribute to friends who died in World War I. Using the poetry of Walt Whitman, who he considered a mystic new world prophet, Holst set the last section of "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" using open chords with the feeling of infinite space. This haunting classic is now available in a newly engraved and thoroughly researched vocal score by Richard W. Sargeant, Jr. The large score and orchestra parts are also available from Serenissima.
Download or read book Gustav Holst written by Mary Christison Huismann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-04-26 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2011, this text provides citations to the core Holst literature. The volume is intended for students and researchers, as well as those seeking an introduction to Holst.

Download or read book Letters of Ralph Vaughan Williams 1895 1958 written by Hugh Cobbe and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-09-09 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book comprises a selection of some 750 letters of the composer, Ralph Vaughan Williams, selected from an extant corpus of about 3,300. The letters are arranged chronologically and have been chosen to provide a cumulative pen-picture of the composer in his own words. In general the letters reflect VW's major preoccupations: musical, personal and political. It was not VW's way to discuss his inner creative processes but he does discuss his music, once it had been written: for example there is much to illustrate the process of 'washing the face' of his major pieces before, and after, they had reached the concert platform. There is correspondence with collaborators such as Gilbert Murray, Harold Child and Evelyn Sharpe who provided texts; with his publishers (mainly OUP) about printing scores and parts; with conductors such as Adrian Boult and John Barbirolli about performances. He was in regular correspondence with fellow composers such as Gustav Holst, George Butterworth, Gerald Finzi, Herbert Howells, John Ireland, Alan Bush and Rutland Boughton. There were his pupils: Elizabeth Maconchy and Cedric Thorpe Davie amongst others. A series of close personal friendships is well represented: his Cambridge contemporary and cousin Ralph Wedgwood, Edward Dent, and latterly Michael Kennedy. Above all there are insights on his lifelong devotion to his first wife, Adeline, and his growing friendship with Ursula Wood, who was to become his second wife.
