John Ireland (1879-1962) had a long and close friendship with Alan
Bush (1900-1995) which lasted forty years, from 1922, when John
Ireland was already fifty years old, until Ireland's death in 1962.
It was the relationship of master and pupil and this was clearly
reflected in their letters. The two men came to know each other
well once Bush had left the Royal Academy of Music in 1922 and
became a student of composition with Ireland until 1927. 160
letters are published here for the first time and they provide not
only a compelling and engaging narrative, but also a unique insight
into the musical and day-to-day lives of the two men. The letters
were written during a most interesting and turbulent period in
British history: the inter-war period of the 1920s and 30s, the
situation during the Second World War and the post-war era. The
volume will therefore appeal to those interested in wider aspects
of British musical life and social and political history, as well
as followers of Ireland and Bush.
