Christopher Fox (1955) has emerged as one of the most fascinating
composers of the post-war generation. His spirit of experimentalism
pervades an oeuvre in which he has blithely created his own version
of a range of contemporary musical practices. In his work many of
the major expressions of European cultural activity - Darmstadt,
Fluxus, spectralism, postminimalism and more - are assimilated to
produce a voice which is uniquely resonant and multifaceted. In
this, the first major study of his work, musicologists, composers,
thinkers and practitioners scrutinize aspects of Christopher Fox's
music, each exploring elements that relate to their own distinct
areas of practice, tracing Fox's compositional trajectory and
situating it within post-war contemporary European music practice.
Above all this book addresses the question: How can one person dip
his fingers into so many paint pots and yet retain a coherent
compositional vision? The range of Fox's musical concerns make his
work of interest to anyone who wants to study the development of
so-called new music spanning the latter twentieth century into the
twenty first century.
