This comprehensive study of 30 widely and lesser-known contributors to
the "second British musical renaissance" encompasses a vast array of
genres and lines of development in the 20th-century British music scene.
An excellent guide to the works of major composers like Elgar, Vaughan
Williams, Musgrave, Holst, Britten, Tippett, and Davies, it also covers
important major minors like Gurney, Warlack, and Moeran. Notes on each
chapter (with sources dating back to 1912), a glossary of 23 relevant
musical terms, and a list of 128 composers referred to in the text round
out the text, which is followed by an epilog. A useful resource that
will be much heralded by student and scholar alike; recommended for
academic and large public libraries.
