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.

Download or read book Vaughan Williams and His World written by Byron Adams and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2023-08-05 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of Ralph Vaughan Williams, published in collaboration with the Bard Music Festival. Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) was one of the most innovative and creative figures in twentieth-century music, whose symphonies stand alongside those of Sibelius, Nielsen, Shostakovich, and Roussel. After his death, shifting priorities in the music world led to a period of critical neglect. What could not have been foreseen is that by the second decade of the twenty-first century, a handful of Vaughan Williams's scores would attain immense popularity worldwide. Yet the present renown of these pieces has led to misapprehension about the nature of Vaughan Williams's cultural nationalism and a distorted view of his international cultural and musical significance. Vaughan Williams and His World traces the composer's stylistic and aesthetic development in a broadly chronological fashion, reappraising Vaughan Williams's music composed during and after the Second World War and affirming his status as an artist whose leftist political convictions pervaded his life and music. This volume reclaims Vaughan Williams's deeply held progressive ethical and democratic convictions while celebrating his achievements as a composer.

Download or read book Music and Friends written by Adrian Boult and published by Hamish Hamilton. This book was released on 1979 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A conductor is the most public of musicians, for he depends entirely on the response of others. The career of Sir Adrian Boult is a virtual history of music in the twentieth century. This anthology of letters looks at the history through the eyes of those who helped make it. Letters from Elgar show the recognition of a chosen interpreter. Vaughan Williams and Holst share working details of a composer's life. The long correspondence with Bruno Walter ripens before the darkening sky of world events. In the 1960s and 1970s the affectionate friendship of the Menuhins speaks for music and friends throughout the world. The background is a rich tapestry. There are letters from Parry, Stanford, Delius, Bantock, Ireland, Bax, Bliss, Walton, Tippett and Malcolm Williamson at home, from Sibelius, De Falla, Franz Lehar, Hindemith and Alan Berg abroad. Among Boult's colleagues on the performing platform whose correspondence is included are Toscanini, Henry Wood, Bernard Haitink, Gervase Elwes, Casals, Schnabel, Solomon, Emil Gilels, and Paul Tortelier. And there are letters from the great musical scholars of his time - Sir Donald Tovey, E.J. Dent, E.H. Fellowes, Nadia Boulanger. These letters of friends are set off with extracts from Adrian Boult's writings and interviews showing vivid pictures of his work as musician and teacher at Oxford early in the century, at the Royal College of Music, as Director of Music for the B.B.C. through twenty crucial years, and finally as the elder statesman of British music."--Dust jacket.
