Abstract

Music and Sexuality in Britten: Selected Essays consists of shards collected and transformed into a satisfying whole. Sadly, the collection’s author Philip Brett died of cancer in 2002, making him unable to complete a book on Britten’s life and work. Brett’s writings on Britten’s life and work remain unsurpassed for their insight, compassion and elegance. Happily, Music and Sexuality in Britten enables the reader to trace the progressive refinement of Brett’s though in a way that would necessarily have been submerged in a larger, more integrated work. In his preface, Britten’s life partner and editor George E. Haggerty aprtly observes that the “great virtue of this collection is that it shows Philip coming at similar material over nearly thirty years and producing increasingly subtle and nuanced readings that suggest as much about critical practice as they do about their subject.”, Current Musicology, No 84 (2007): Current Musicology

Abstract

Although the history of English music contains examples of composers who wrote well for single voice and instrument--Dowland or Purcell come first to mind-a tradition of art song with piano accompaniment developed in England much later than the German Lied and French metodie. The retarded development of the art song in England, its subsequent flowering and present continuation are chronicled extensively in Stephen Banfield's book Sensibility and the English Song. Banfield has undertaken the heroic task of surveying in one volume the course of English art song from the Victorians to the present; the result is a significant achievement, though one unfortunately marred by lapses in organization, perspective, and discrimination. Sensibility and the English Song is a remarkably inclusive book. While Banfield mercifully excludes such peripheral figures as Liza Lehmann and Maude Valerie White, he examines a catholic assortment of music, ranging from the songs of such major composers as Vaughan Williams and Britten to those of Benjamin Burrows, who is described as "an obscure freelance music theory tutor who led an unadventurous life in Leicester".
