Elgar, Newman and the "Dream of Gerontius" by Percy M Young
By reason of Newman's text and the religious antecendents of the composer, Elgar, "The Dream of Gerontius" has assumed a unique place in English music. This book examines its relationship to the English Catholic tradition. The significance of music within the centuries of struggle towards emancipation and the importance of music and musicians attached to the Catholic Embassy chapels in London during the 18th and 19th centuries are considered in relation to the creative careers both of Newman and Elgar.| SKU | Unavailable |
