An anthology of the writings of the English composer William Alwyn
[1905-85]. The English composer William Alwyn was not only one of
the most versatile creative figures of his age, writing music for
the concert hall, recital room, operatic stage and film screen; he
was also a virtuoso instrumentalist and conductor, the teacher of
some of the most important composers of the succeeding generation,
and the founder of a number of influential music committees such as
the Composers' Guild of Great Britain. Alwyn was a gifted writer,
too,alive to literature and art - especially pre-Raphaelite
painting, on which he was an authority - as well as to music, and
Composing in Words presents his most important writings: the
autobiographical essay Winged Chariot; the diary, Ariel to Miranda,
in which he chronicled the composition of his Third Symphony; an
extract from Early Closing, Alwyn's reminiscences of his
Northampton childhood; and essays on film music, and on other
composers, among them Elgar, Bax and Puccini.
