Harrison Birtwistle has become the most eminent and acclaimed of
contemporary British composers. This book provides a comprehensive
view of his large and varied output. It contains descriptions of
every published work, and also of a number of withdrawn and
unpublished pieces. Revealing light is often cast on the more
familiar pieces by considering these lesser-known areas of
Birtwistle's oeuvre. The book is structured around a number of
broad themes - themes of significance to Birtwistle, but also to
much other music. These include theatre, song, time and texture.
This approach emphasizes the music's multifarious ways of meaning;
now that even the academic world no longer takes the merits of
'difficult' contemporary music for granted, it is all the more
important to assess what it represents beyond mere technical
innovation. Adlington thus avoids in-depth technical analysis,
focusing instead upon the music's wider cultural significance.
