Book excerpt: Handwritten note partial envelope England Sir Arthur Edward Drummond Bliss, CH, KCVO (2 August 1891 - 27 March 1975) was an English composer and conductor. Bliss's musical training was cut short by the First World War, in which he served with distinction in the army. In the post-war years he quickly became known as an unconventional and modernist composer, but within the decade he began to display a more traditional and romantic side in his music. In the 1920s and 1930s he composed extensively not only for the concert hall, but also for films and ballet. In the Second World War, Bliss returned to England from the US to work for the BBC and became its director of music. After the war he resumed his work as a composer, and was appointed Master of the Queen's Music. In Bliss's later years, his work was respected but was thought old-fashioned, and it was eclipsed by the music of younger colleagues such as William Walton and Benjamin Britten. Since his death, his compositions have been well represented on record, and many of his better-known works remain in the repertoire of British orchestras.

Book Synopsis Bliss on Music by : Arthur Bliss
Download or read book Bliss on Music written by Arthur Bliss. This book was released on 1991. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Arthur Bliss (1891-1975) was a leading figure in British music for five decades, and one of the foremost British composers to emerge after the First World War. His early works such as the symphony Morning Heroes, the ballet Checkmate, and the opera The Olympians show the influence of Stravinsky and the French group "Les Six." He gained prominence in the British musical establishment and was made Master of the Queen's Musick in 1953. Bliss was also a prolific writer of articles, reviews, lectures, and broadcasts, which provide a vivid commentary on twentieth-century music, the English Musical Renaissance in particular, and display the characteristic vigor and vitality in keeping with his enfant terrible image of the 1920s. Arranged chronologically with biographical lists, the material ranges from self-analysis to a consideration of the place of music in modern society, and this collection forms a valuable source for the study of his own music and the music of his contemporaries.
