This title was first published in 2000: Catalan-born composer
Roberto Gerhard (1896-1970) left significant legacies - both
musical and documentary. Exiled in Cambridge with the onset of the
Spanish Civil War, he gradually achieved wide recognition by
performers and conductors, in both Britain and America, as a
composer whose music was essential to the modern repertoire. In
this work, Meirion Bowen collects many of the composer's articles,
reviews, lectures and broadcasts to demonstrate the full extent and
continuity of Gerhard's artistic and creative thinking. The
writings have been arranged thematically to emphasize the evolution
of Gerhard's musical interests. His attachment to Spanish and
Catalonian traditions broadened into a fascination with folk music
of all kinds. His studies with Schoenberg in the mid 1920s gave him
the key to his own creative individuality; thereafter, his
imaginative vitality led him eventually to experiment with
electronic and concrete music and he continued breaking new ground,
even in his final years.
