Fully revised edition of Peter Dickinson's acclaimed study of one
of the great British composers of the twentieth century. Sir Lennox
Berkeley (1903-1989) was one of the leading British composers of
the mid-twentieth century and his music has unique qualities which
will ensure its survival far beyond transient fashions. Peter
Dickinson knew Berkeley for more than thirty years and this much
enlarged book places the composer in the context of his extended
study with Nadia Boulanger, his friendship with Britten, and the
achievement of an independent voice of remarkable distinction. The
new book now benefits from interviews with Lady Berkeley, Michael
Berkeley, Julian Bream, Colin Horsley, Sir John Manduell, Nicholas
Maw, Malcolm Williamson and the late Basil Douglas, Desmond
Shawe-Taylor and Norman del Mar. There are photographs, a full list
of works, bibliographies and over a hundred musical examples. PETER
DICKINSON is Head of Music at the Institute of United States
Studies at the University of London and an Emeritus Professor of
the Universities of Keele and London.
