The first English work dealing in detail with the life and musical
influences of the Italian composer Luigi Dallapiccola (1904-1975).
Luigi Dallapiccola (1904-1975) was one of the most important
Italian composers of the twentieth century. As well as writing
several operas, he composed a large number of works in which the
human voice, whether in solo or in chorus, plays an important role.
Dallapiccola also set texts by writers as diverse as James Joyce,
Salvatore Quasimodo, Antonio Machado, Goethe, and Heine. This book
is the first in English to deal with Dallapiccola as a whole, from
thefirst, hesitant vocal compositions of his student years up to
the works of his last decade, in which Italian lyricism is combined
with great formal rigor. The author suggests that Dallapiccola
should be understood not only as aninfluential figure in the
post-war developments of Italian music, but also as one who renewed
and revitalized the older traditions of Italian music. Raymond
Fearn is Professor of Music, Keele University.
