Roger Sessions on Music Author: Roger Sessions

ISBN: 9780691635828 Format: Hardcover Number Of Pages: 402 Published: 19 March 2016 Country of Publication: US Dimensions (cm): 23.5 x 15.5 x 2.2 Description:

Over the past fifty years Roger Sessions has developed, in articles, lectures, and addresses, various themes that reflect the stages of his own musical and intellectual growth. These themes form the basis of the present collection of essays. Many of the essays deal with specific problems that musicians, especially composers, have faced during the past five decades: problems related to new musical styles and techniques, to the position of composers in society, to their responsibilities as teachers, to their role during the period of the world wars, to the mutual reactions of composer and audience, and to the basic questions of musical form and expression. The collection also includes a set of critical essays on such seminal figures as Bloch, Schoenberg, and Stravinsky.

Roger Sessions is the composer of a recently recorded cantata on Whitman's "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" as well as numerous other works. He is the author ofThe Musical Experience of Composer, Performer, and Listener (Princeton).

Originally published in 1979.
