Dear All,
Just to confirm that The Symphonic Poem in Britain, 1850-1950, edited by Michael Allis and Paul Watt, has now been published with The Boydell Press.
This volume, which includes contributions from scholars in America, Australia and the UK, is the first to really focus upon the British symphonic poem and the way in which the genre was perceived more widely in Britain from the mid-19th century to c.1950. In Part I, contextual chapters by Jeremy Dibble, Paul Watt, David Larkin, Barbara Kelly, and Anne-Marie Forbes and Heather Monkhouse provide a history of the British symphonic poem, chart critics' responses to the genre, explore the British reception of orchestral music by Richard Strauss, Debussy and Ravel, and explain programming strategies in Glasgow concerts. The second part (with contributions by Michael Allis, Christopher Scheer, Benedict Taylor, Fiona Richards and Jonathan Clinch) offers new readings of selected compositions: William Wallace's Villon, Holst's Beni Mora, Hubert Parry's From Death to Life, John Ireland's Mai-Dun, and Frank Bridge's series of orchestral 'poems'.
