In Search of Real Music gives a new perspective on the history of classical music from 1600 to 2000 AD. Written for anyone who enjoys classical music and wants to know more about how it developed, it presents a profile of the music produced in each 50-year period, with additional sections describing the progress of musical instruments, the orchestra, publishing and recording, and the buildings designed for operas and concerts. This book sets out the recollections and research of one amateur listener. As a schoolboy, Clive Bate played the violin in the National Youth Orchestra under Walter Susskind and Hugo Rignold. Later he played in Bryan Fairfax's Polyphonia for the celebrated first performance of Havergal Brian's Gothic Symphony. Although he became immersed in a career in I.T. and management consultancy, music remained his principal interest. With retirement he turned his attention to writing this concise history. It is neither an encyclopedia nor a set of biographies, but explores the crucial events, traditions and changes that shaped the course of the art form that is one of Europe's greatest contributions to civilization. In Search of Real Music will allow you to make connections between strands of history that are rarely brought together, and thus enrich your understanding of the music you love.
