Responding to radical avant-garde developments in post-war Europe, the Manchester Group composers - Alexander Goehr, Peter Maxwell Davies, and Harrison Birtwistle - and their contemporaries assimilated the serial-structuralist preoccupations of mid-century internationalism to an art grounded in resurgent local traditions. In close readings of some thirty-five scores, Philip Rupprecht traces a modernism suffused with the formal elegance of the 1950s, the exuberant theatricality of the 1960s, and - in the works of David Bedford and Tim Souster - the pop, minimalist, and live-electronic directions of the early 1970s. Setting music-analytic insights against a broader social-historical backdrop, Rupprecht traces a British musical modernism that was at once a collective artistic endeavor, and a sounding myth of national identity. 610 20 $a New Music Manchester. 650 0 $a Music $z Manchester $z Manchester $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Composers $z Manchester $z Manchester $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Music $z Great Britain $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a MUSIC / General. $2 bisacsh 830 0 $a Music since 1900. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217024929.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826035403.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0EBB4BCE81F911E58D57CB8FDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
