Voices in the Wilderness

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the often-overlooked Neo-Romantic composers of the twentieth century, Walter Simmons argues for their significance in the broader landscape of music history. He contends that these artists, who embraced Romantic aesthetics and techniques despite the Modernist movement, merit serious scholarly attention rather than being dismissed as mere exceptions. In "Voices in the Wilderness," Simmons provides an in-depth analysis of six such composers, aiming to elevate their contributions and foster a deeper understanding of their works within the context of traditional composition.
