Born by the Thames : Stephen Dodgson - A Centenary Celebration

This volume marks the centenary of British composer Stephen Dodgson (), whose long, distinguished and multi-faceted career produced many highly distinctive works in a voice that could be both playful and deeply evocative. An approachable, thoughtful book for the musician and curious layperson alike, it brings together interviews and specially commissioned articles on Dodgson's musical output as well as a selection of the composer's own warmly erudite writings and broadcasts. These sit alongside personal reflections and anecdotes from his friends and family, providing a rounded picture of Stephen Dodgson, the musician and the man. With a wide variety of his work, from opera to chamber music, now available on recordings, this book is a consolidation of Stephen Dodgson's importance as a fixture in British music, both in the post-war period and today.Author: Hyde, Thomas,editor,Chandler, Oliver,editor Contributors: Hyde, Thomas,editor,Chandler, Oliver,editor Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 328 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language Published/Release Date: 17 Mar 2024 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: de la Porte Publishing Author/Director/Artist: Thomas Hyde Dimension (cm): 129x197x26 mm Package Dimension (cm): 29x196x129 mm Item Weight (g): 310 Package Weight (g): 310
