The turn of the 20th century was a time of great change in Britain.
The empire saw its global influence waning and its traditional
social structures challenged. There was a growing weariness of
industrialism and a desire to rediscover tradition and the roots of
English heritage. A new interest in English folk song and dance
inspired the art world, which many believed was seeing a
renaissance after a period of stagnation since the 18th century.
This book focuses on the lives of seven English composers-Ralph
Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst, George Butterworth, Ernest Moeran,
Philip Heseltine (Peter Warlock), Gerald Finzi and Percy
Grainger-whose work was influenced by folk songs and early music.
Each chapter provides historical background and tells the
fascinating story of a musical life.
