Arthur Sullivan (1842-1900) was Victorian Britain's most celebrated
and popular composer, whose music to this day reaches a wider
audience than that of any of his contemporaries. Yet the comic
operas on which Sullivan's reputation is chiefly based have been
consistently belittled or ignored by the British musicological
establishment, while his serious works have until recently remained
virtually unknown. The time is thus long overdue for scholarly
re-engagement with Sullivan. The present book offers a new
appraisal of the music of this most notable nineteenth-century
British composer, combining close analytical attention to his music
with critical consideration of the wider aesthetic and social
context to his work. Focusing on key pieces in all the major genres
in which Sullivan composed, it includes accounts of his most
important serious works - the music to The Tempest, the 'Irish'
Symphony, The Golden Legend, Ivanhoe - alongside detailed
examination of the celebrated comic operas created with W.S.
Gilbert to present a balanced portrayal of Sullivan's musical
achievement.
