Description
The Music of Herbert Howells provides a comprehensive study of the life and work of this renowned British composer. Despite being one of the country's most prominent composers, there is relatively little serious study of his music, making this book an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding Howells' unique contribution to classical music. This large-scale study covers all aspects of the composer's prolific output, from his well-known church music to his less familiar contributions to solo song and instrumental works. The essays are organized into five sections, each exploring a different aspect of Howells' style and oeuvre. By examining both individual works and general characteristics, this book offers a nuanced understanding of Howells' place in the history of British classical music. Through its detailed analysis, The Music of Herbert Howells sheds new light on the composer's life and work, including the significant impact of his son's death on his creative output. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in learning more about this important figure in British classical music.
