The first major study of Alan Bush, this book provides new
perspectives on twentieth-century music and communism. British
communist, composer of politicised works, and friend of Soviet
musicians, Bush proved to be 'a lightning rod' in the national
musical culture. His radical vision for British music prompted
serious reflections on aesthetics and the rights of artists to
private political opinions, as well as influencing the development
of state-sponsored music making in East Germany. Rejecting previous
characterisations of Bush as political and musical Other, Joanna
Bullivant traces his aesthetic project from its origins in the
1920s to its collapse in the 1970s, incorporating discussion of
modernism, political song, music theory, opera, and Bush's response
to the Soviet music crisis of 1948. Drawing on a wealth of archival
sources, including recently released documents from MI5, this book
constructs new perspectives on the 'cultural Cold War' through the
lens of the individual artist.
