Sir Michael Tippett is widely considered to be one of the most individual composers
of the twentieth century, whose music continues to be performed to critical acclaim
throughout the world. Written by a team of international scholars, this Companion
provides a wide ranging and accessible study of Tippett and his works. It discusses
the contexts and concepts of modernism, tradition, politics, sexuality and creativity
that shaped Tippett's music and ideas, engaging with archive materials, relevant literature
and models of interpretation. Chapters explore the genres in which Tippett composed,
including opera, symphony, string quartet, concerto and piano sonata, to shed new
light on his major works and draw attention to those that have not yet received the
attention they deserve. Directing knowledge and expertise towards a wide readership,
this book will enrich the listening experience and broaden understanding of the music
of this endlessly fascinating and challenging composer [Publisher description]
