Editorial Reviews
Review
' ... a very thorough attempt to elucidate an acknowledged masterwork.' The Musical Times
'Like other volumes in the CUP series it is commendably brief, but not lacking in substance.' The Singer
' ... a useful showcase of current Tippett scholarship ... a significant gesture to the future.' Tempo
Book Description
Michael Tippett's oratorio A Child of Our Time was written at the beginning of the second world war as an expression of "man's inhumanity to man." This Handbook discusses the significant musical and literary features of this remarkable work within its specific historical, social and stylistic context. Attention is given to the shaping of Tippett's own text as well as its musical representation. Also of importance is the initial critical reception of the work, a reception that defined certain responses that still surround the work today.
