This is the first book-length survey of 20th -century British music
for solo organ. Beginning with a discussion of British organ music
in the last decades of the Victorian era, the book focuses on the
pieces that the composers wrote, their musical style, possible
influences on the composition of specific works, and the details of
their composition. Arranged in chronological order according to
date of birth are detailed studies on important composers that made
especially significant contributions to organ music including
Parry, Stanford, Healey Willan, Herbert Howells, Percy Whitlock,
Francis Jackson, Peter Racine Fricker, Arthur Wills, and Kenneth
Leighton. Composers' biographies, the role of organs and organ
building developments, influential political and sociological
events, and aesthetic aspects of British musical life are also
discussed in detail. In the concluding chapter, the author
discusses the major phases and achievements of the century and
gauges what may lie ahead in the new millennium. A comprehensive
Catalog of Works provides titles of works, dates of composition,
details of publishers, and the dates of publication. More than 60
music examples, 12 black and white photos, and an up-to-date
bibliography are included.
