Description

George Butterworth Memorial Volume by Wayne Smith This anniversary edition marks the centenary of George Butterworth's death in 1916. A close friend and composer, Butterworth was killed during the Battle of the Somme, his body buried where he lay without being rediscovered. A tribute to those whose place of rest remains unknown, this volume features a collection of tributes and letters of appreciation from friends and admirers, including a moving contribution from Vaughan Williams. The main part of the book consists of Butterworth's own 'War Diary and Letters', a document of historic importance now made publicly available for the first time. For fans of English music and history, this volume offers a unique insight into the life and work of George Butterworth, one of the most acclaimed composers of his time.
