内容説明

These articles are taken from the Second Biennial Conference for Music in Nineteenth-Century Britain, held at the University of Durham. The topics covered include: a study of music in late-19th-century English monasteries; works on psalmody and on Cathedral music at Durham, Westminster and Christ Church, Dublin; opera and oratorio; issues of reception and performance; nationalist and political sentiment in music; art and poetry and their relation to music; and the variation tradition in British instrumental musical at the end of the 19th century. One of the main objectives of this series is to place music in the context of 19th-century Britain - in other words, to show how music formed an influence not only within its own sphere, but also within other artistic and cultural activities of the period.

内容説明

Selected from papers given at the third biennial conference on Music in Nineteenth-Century Britain, this volume, in common with its two predecessors, reflects the interdisciplinary character of the topic. The introductory essay by Julian Rushton foregrounds some of the questions that are key to this area of study: what is the nineteenth century? what is British music? and did London influence the continent? The essays which follow are divided into broad thematic groups covering aspects of gender, church music, national identity, and local and national institutions. This collection illustrates that while nineteenth-century British music studies is still in its infancy as a field of research, it is one that is burgeoning and contributing to our understanding of British social and cultural life of the period.

内容説明

Although often labelled over-sentimental, 19th century British music offers much. Rather than dealing directly with the artistic value of the music, these essays discuss factual and technical information, musical life in 19th century Britain and music's place in this period of sweeping change.
