Edmund Rubbra's music has given him a reputation as a 'spiritual'
composer, who had an interest in Eastern thought, and a mid-life
conversion to Roman Catholicism. This book takes a wide and
detailed view of 'spiritual' dimensions or strands that were
important in his life, positioning them both biographically and
within the context of contemporaneous English culture. It proceeds
to interpret through detailed analysis the ways these spiritual
aspects are reflected in specific compositions. Thematical
treatment of these spiritual issues, touching on Theosophy, dance,
Eastern religions and thought, nature, the evolutionary theory of
Teilhard de Chardin and the Christ figure, presents a multi-faceted
view of Rubbra's life and music. Its contribution to a scholarly
re-evaluation of his place within twentieth-century British music
and culture engages and meshes with several areas of current
scholarly research in the arts and humanities, including academic
interest in Theosophy, modernism and the arts, experimental dance
and the Indian cultural renaissance and East-West musical
interactions of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
It also adds to a burgeoning body of writings on music and
spirituality, fuelled by the popularity of later twentieth-century
and contemporary composers who make more overt spiritual references
in their music.
