The 1990s work of six British composers forms the focus of this
collection of essays, arising from a conference that took place at
University of Surrey Roehampton in February 1999. The composers
whose music is discussed are James Dillon, Thomas Ades, Harrison
Birtwistle, Jonathan Harvey, Edwin Roxburgh and Sebastian Forbes.
Reflecting the aims of the conference, this volume brings together
composers and musicologists to discuss significant works from the
last decade of the twentieth century, and also some of the wider
issues surrounding British music. Arnold Whittall and Julian
Johnson provide perspectives on the plurality of contemporary
British music. Edwin Roxburgh offers a personal account of 'The
Artists' Dilemma', whilst the essays that follow explore aspects of
musical form and structure in a variety of works. The second half
of the book comprises interviews with most of the composers whose
music is discussed in Part I, adding a further dimension to our
understanding of the preoccupations of British composition at the
end of the twentieth century.
