A study of the life and works of Erik Chisholm, one of the most
influential figures in twentieth-century Scottish music. Erik
Chisholm was the pre-eminent composer and musician in Scottish
classical music in the first half of the twentieth century. As Sir
Charles Mackerras put it, 'Chisholm was a musician of rare
capabilities. He was a pianist and organist, a conductor, a
composer, a lecturer on music, an entrepreneur and administrator,
and to all these he brought a unique blend of originality, flair
and energy.' As well as his life in Glasgow, Chisholm travelled to
the Far East, notably Singapore, for the Entertainments and
National Service Association during the Second World War, and
subsequently became Professor of Music at the University of Cape
Town, where he greatly developed the study and performance of
music. He conducted numerous first British performances, including
Berlioz's The Trojans in 1935 and Bartok's Bluebeard's Castle in
1957. Accounts of the visits to Glasgow by such composers as
Bartok,Casella, Hindemith et al are being presented here. Erik
Chisholm. Scottish Modernist will be of general interest to

those interested in the development of music, opera and ballet in
Scotland, Scottish literature and cultural history will find this
book of much value. It will also be of interest to those studying
the music of Bartok, Sorabji, Hindemith, Walton, Bax, Casella, and
