This first book in English on the French composer Andre Jolivet
(1905-1974) investigates his music, life and influence. A pupil of
Varese and colleague of Messiaen in La Jeune France, Jolivet is a
major figure in French music of the twentieth century. His music
combines innovative language with spirituality, summarised in his
self-declared axiom to 'restore music's ancient original meaning
when it was the magic and incantatory expression of the sacred in
human communities'. The book's contextual introduction is followed
by contributions, edited by Caroline Rae, from leading
international scholars including the composer's daughter Christine
Jolivet-Erlih. These assess Jolivet's output and activities from
the 1920s through to his last works, exploring creative process,
aesthetic, his relationship with the exotic and influences from
literature. They also examine, for the first time, the significance
of Jolivet's involvement with the visual arts and his activities as
conductor, teacher and critic. A chronology of Jolivet's life and
works with details of first performances provides valuable overview
and reference. This fascinating and comprehensive volume is an
indispensable source for research into French music and culture of
the twentieth century.
