Benjamin Britten, pianist, conductor, educator, composer of a wide
range of music from large-scale operas and choral works to string
quartets and songs, is acknowledged as a pivotal figure in
mid-twentieth-century Britain. This volume explores the contexts
for his multi-faceted career and his engagement with his
contemporaries in music, art, literature, and film, British musical
institutions, royal and governmental entities, and the church, as
well as his ground-breaking projects, philosophical and ideological
tenets. The book is thematically structured in five parts:
Britten's relationships with Peter Pears, his close friends,
mentors, and colleagues; musical life in Britain; his interactions
with previous and contemporary generations of composers; his
professional work with choreographers, librettists, stage
designers, and directors; and his socio-cultural, religious, and
political environment. The chapters shed light on the many
opportunities and challenges of post-war British musical life that
shaped Britten's creative output.
