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.
