Tippett is often cast as a composer with a strong visionary streak,
but what does that mean for a twentieth-century artist? In this
multi-faceted study, David Clarke explores Tippett's complex
creative imagination - its dialogue between a romantic's
aspirations to the ideal and absolute, and a modernist's sceptical
realism. He shows how the musical formations of works such as The
Midsummer Marriage, King Priam, and The Vision of Saint Augustine
resonate with the aesthetic and theoretical ideas of key figures in
modern Western culture - some known to have been influential to the
composer (such as Jung, Wagner and Yeats), others not usually
associated with him (such as Kant, Nietzsche and Adorno). Analyses
of late works such as the Triple Concerto and Byzantium also
speculate on Tippett's sexuality as a (literally) critical element
in his creative and political consciousness.
