With extracts from the composer's letters, writings, interviews,
and broadcasts, and supported by evidence from his sketchbooks and
manuscripts, Meaning and Identity in the Orchestral Music of
Michael Tippett explores Tippett's intentions and argues that the
experiences that triggered his creative impulses are integral to
understanding his music. In his discussion of Tippett's creative
process, Thomas Schuttenhelm attempts to recapture the
circumstances under which Tippett's orchestral works were created,
to document how his visionary aspirations were developed and
sustained throughout the creative cycle, and to chart how
conception was transmuted from idea through to performance.
Analysing Tippett's orchestral works throughout his long career,
from the Symphonic Movement of 1931 to his final masterpiece The
Rose Lake in 1991-3, Schuttenhelm explores each work in detail to
offer a comprehensive commentary on one of the most influential
British composers of the twentieth century.
