Vaughan Williams fist encountered the old English folk song Dives
and Lazarus when he was 21, and here presents five variants that
are, in his own words, 'not exact replicas of traditional tunes but
rather reminiscences of various versions in my own collection and
those of others'. The work was premiered in Carnegie Hall as part
of the 1939 New York World's Fair, and is a wonderful example of
the sumptuous string textures and modal tonalities that have become
the composer's trademarks.
This is the first history of the guitar during the reign of the
Stuarts, a time of great political and social upheaval in England.
In this engaging and original volume, Christopher Page gathers a
rich array of portraits, literary works and other, previously
unpublished, archival materials in order to create a comprehensive
picture of the guitar from its early appearances in Jacobean
records, through its heyday at the Restoration court in Whitehall,
to its decline in the first decades of the eighteenth century. The
book explores the passion of Charles II himself for the guitar, and
that of Samuel Pepys, who commissioned the largest repertoire of
guitar-accompanied song to survive from baroque Europe. Written in
Page's characteristically approachable style, this volume will
appeal to general readers as well as to music historians and guitar
specialists.
