An icon of British national identity and one of the most widely
performed twentieth-century composers, Ralph Vaughan Williams has
been as much misunderstood as revered; his international impact and
enduring influence on areas as diverse as church music, film scores
and popular music has been insufficiently appreciated. This volume
brings together a team of leading scholars, examining all areas of
the composer's output from new perspectives, and re-evaluating the
cultural politics of his lifelong advocacy for the music-making of
ordinary people. Surveys of major genres are complemented by
chapters exploring such topics as the composer's relationship with
the BBC and his studies with Ravel; uniquely, the book also
includes specially commissioned interviews with major living
composers Peter Maxwell Davies, Piers Hellawell, Nicola Lefanu and
Anthony Payne. The Companion is a vital resource for all those
interested in this pivotal figure of modern music.
