Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e The turn of the 20th century was a time of great change in Britain. The empire saw its global influence waning and its traditional social structures challenged. There was a growing weariness of industrialism and a desire to rediscover tradition and the roots of English heritage. A new interest in English folk song and dance inspired art music, which many believed was seeing a renaissance after a period of stagnation since the 18th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book focuses on the lives of seven composers--Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst, Ernest Moeran, George Butterworth, Philip Heseltine (Peter Warlock), Gerald Finzi and Percy Grainger--whose work was influenced by folk songs and early music. Each chapter provides an historical background and tells the fascinating story of a musical life.\u003c\/p\u003e  ","brand":"Tim Rayborn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46071291216106,"sku":"9780786496341","price":33.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/5301\/6298\/files\/71qfOhFYkqL._SY522.jpg?v=1781293322","url":"https:\/\/textbookme.store\/products\/a-new-english-music-composers-and-folk-traditions-in-englands-musical-renaissance-from-the-late-19th-to-the-mid-20th-century","provider":"TextbookMe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
