Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Arthur Honegger (1892--1955), Swiss by nationality, French by education and residence, was a major composer of the 20th century. Although he earned popular acclaim early in his career, in his later years his consistently tonal musical language was considered outmoded. His most significant works include five symphonies, a large body of chamber music, and several large-scale oratorios that combine choral and instrumental writing with declaimed narrative in a uniquely effective way.

Book News Annotation:

Honegger (1892-1955) was a Swiss-born composer and musician whose work earned him praise as an innovator in spite of being heavily influenced by the old masters such as Beethoven. This volume chronicles his life, provides a complete inventory of his works, and analyzes the themes in and influences on Honegger's life and work, as well as his legacy to today's music.
