For much of his career, the internationally known, and still active
Dutch composer Louis Andriessen has been understood as an
iconoclast who challenged and resisted the musical establishment.
This book explores his compositions as a case study for exploring
the social and aesthetic implications of new music. Everett
chronicles the evolution of Andriessen's music over the course of
five decades: the formative years in which he experimented with
serialism and collage techniques; his political activism in the
late 1960s; 'concept' works from the 1970s that provide musical
commentary on philosophical writings by Plato, St Augustine and
others; theatrical and operatic collaborations with Robert Wilson
and Peter Greenaway in the 1980s and 1990s; and recent works that
explore contemplative themes on death and madness. Everett's
analysis of Andriessen's music draws on theories of parody,
narrativity, and intertextuality that have gained currency in
musicological discourse in recent years.
