This volume explores the contexts for his multi-faceted career and his engagement with his contemporaries in music, art, literature, and film, British musical institutions, royal and governmental entities, and the church, as well as his ground-breaking projects, philosophical and ideological tenets. The book is thematically structured in five parts: Britten's relationships with Peter Pears, his close friends, mentors, and colleagues; musical life in Britain; his interactions with previous and contemporary generations of composers; his professional work with choreographers, librettists, stage designers, and directors; and his socio-cultural, religious, and political environment. The chapters shed light on the many opportunities and challenges of post-war British musical life that shaped Britten's creative output."--Dust jacket. 600 10 $a Britten, Benjamin, $d 1913-1976 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Britten, Benjamin, $d 1913-1976. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00042564 650 0 $a Music $z Great Britain $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030269 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Stroeher, Vicki P., $e editor. 700 1 $a Vickers, Justin, $e editor. 776 08 $i Ebook version : $z 9781108751971 830 0 $a Composers in context. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117033237.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=913DF2C6664511EDB99D19AA23ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
