Composer of the Week

Hans Werner Henze (b 1926)

Ideals of Beauty, Visible from a Great Distance

Henze has refused to reject the music of the past - instead he has drawn on it, whether reworking a Monteverdi opera for a modern audience, or revisiting traditional models in his operas and symphonies. Donald Macleod looks at three works in which Henze confronts his musical heritage.

Composer of the Week

Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 - 1958)

Vaughan Williams in the 1920s

As the 1920s drew to a close, Vaughan Williams was well on his way to his 60th birthday, and continued producing remarkable works. The lessons learnt from his earlier operatic compositions bore fruit in Sir John in Love, and he made significant progress with what was to be his only Piano Concerto.

The crowning glory of these years, though, was his epic Job, a Masque for Dancing. In the last instalment of this series, Donald Macleod concludes the story of this influential chapter in Vaughan Williams' life.
