Offers an overall assessment of Berlioz's musical achievement as we
approach the bicentary of his birth in 2003. This is a full-length
musical study of the composer taking into account the rediscovered
"Messe solennelle", and discusses all aspects of his work, with
emphasis on a few more popular pieces. The first section consists
of a comprehensive biography of his musical works, tracing shifting
patterns of productivity, approaches to genre, and the contrast
between works which are aesthetically progressive or retrospective.
The second section considers aspects of Berlioz's musical style,
building upon earlier studies by the author and other scholarship;
topics include Berlioz's practice of self-borrowing, his use of
programmes and texts, characteristic rhetorical devices, and an
emotional language. The third section takes four categories of
works - song-forms, sacred music, symphonic works, and dramatic
works - for more substantial analysis of selected passages and an
overall critical assessment. This book is intended for students and
the general readers interested in the life and music of Berlioz.
