The Music of Hugh Wood provides the first ever in-depth study of
this well-known, yet only briefly documented composer. Over the
years, Wood (b. 1932) has produced a sizeable oeuvre that explores
the established genres of symphony, concerto, and quartet on the
one hand, and songs and choruses on the other. Underpinned by an
awareness of recent philosophical, theoretical and analytical
concepts, Dr Edward Venn highlights both the technical basis of
Wood's music and the expressive force of his work. In doing so, a
picture emerges of Wood as an artist of considerable merit and
power. The eclectic blend of national and international influences
in the music of Hugh Wood combine to create an individual and
distinctive musical language all his own. The book provides an
overview of Wood's style, focussing on his engagement with
modernism and the melodic, rhythmic, harmonic and formal
characteristics of his musical language. From here a more detailed
consideration of Wood's development as a composer is advanced, in
which his technical development is illustrated alongside an
exploration of various aspects of musical meaning embodied in his
works. In the process, numerous analytical strategies ranging from
formalist to narrative structures are utilized, demonstrating the
fecundity and expressivity of Wood's music.
