Gerald Finzi (1901-1956) was a British composer, editor, author,
and outdoorsman/agrarian. Many of his works (a body of fewer than
50) are choral or solo vocal in nature. At the heart of his musical
contributions is a unique blend of the metaphysical and mystical
with a true love for everything English. Typical of many of the
volumes in the Greenwood Press series, this work serves as an
awareness tool, introducing an important 20th-century composer
labeled variously as a miniaturist, a pastoral composer, and a
minor Edwardian musician--but with a singular style that differed
from his contemporaries' yet reflected in part the English
tradition of Elgar, Parry, and Vaughan Williams in particular.
Growing up with the music of these composers as models, Finzi
quickly succeeded in the art of writing songs. His work is just now
beginning to receive wider publicity through recordings and public
performance. A set of 15 anecdotes contributed by major artists is
assembled in this work, containing the artists' reactions to Finzi
and his compositions.
