Product Description
Gerald Finzi is one of the best-known modern English composers. While he is especially famous as a song-writer, for his sensitive settings of poets such as Hardy and Wordsworth, he also wrote in other genres; notable works include the exquisite cantata Dies Natalis, and his cello concerto. He also exerted a major influence in the musical world as a whole, championing the neglected Ivor Gurney and reviving eighteenth-century composers with the amateur orchestra he founded.In this lively and sensitive study of his life and works, Diana McVeagh, the renowned Elgar and Finzi scholar, has made use of interviews with the main figures in his life, correspondence with contemporaries such as Vaughan Williams, Edmund Blunden, Arthur Bliss, Edmund Rubbra, Howard Ferguson and Herbert Howells, and her access to previously unpublished material in the form of his widow, Joy's, unpublished journal. The Finzi that emerges is a multi-faceted and complex character. The author shows how he developed from a solitary, introverted youth into a man with strong views and a myriad of interests: everything from education, pacifism, vegetarianism, to the Arts and Crafts movement, the English pastoral tradition, English apple varieties, and the significance of ancestry, friendship and marriage in an artist's life. She also discusses every work within the narrative of Finzi's life, and shows what makes his output so outstanding.Diana McVeagh is the author of the highly acclaimed Elgar the Music Maker (2007); of the entries on Elgar and Finzi for The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (1980, 2001); and of the Finzi entry in The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (2004). ...

Graceful work captures composer's heart and mind
This is a detailed, chronological account of Finzi. Important episodes in his life are punctuated by discrete sections that provide analysis of concurrent musical works. Finzi is shown as a man who loved poetry and music (he had significant collections of each) and whose entire life was devoted to what he felt was his role as an artist in modern society. He comes off as a bit cold and critical, dismissive of those who didn't evince creativity, but endlessly giving of time and attention to his fellow musicians, especially composers. As a reader who knew very little about the world of music in mid-20th-century England, I rather enjoyed being plunged into the company of those who lived for discussion, ideas, and performance. Yet Finzi's world, his rural cottage life, and his devotion to works of long-dead artists seem utterly disconnected from the world of popular culture around him. After all, this wasthe ago of Big Bands and Jazz. But it appears that nothing in the popular taste had an impact on Finzi and his coterie. In fact, very little in the "outside" world seems to matter, except of course World War II, which found Finzi clerking in London and not terribly productive musically. The author pauses now and again to offer a discourse into Finzi's way of approaching work, and his attitudes toward art. The portraits of his companions, and especially his wife, Joy, suggest what was likable about Finzi and never intrude greatly on the narrative. Musicologists will appreciate the extended musical analyses. Much of this was over my head, so I read and skipped along in these parts and didn't worry so much about whether I fully underestood them. I was after a portrait of the man and his times, and while I can't say Finzi led a dramatic life, his life is certainly one of intense dedication and integrity with regard to his work, and in that sense has much to recommend it. The long labors of the author are obvious in this at times fascinating account. ... Read more

Product Description
The letters that passed, on an almost daily basis, between the composers Howard Ferguson and Gerald Finzi provide not only a fascinating commentary on the British musical scene of the period 1926-1956, but also what amounts to a unique dual-biography of two remarkable, though very different, personalities. Their lives, their loves, their enthusiasms and their prejudices are laid bare with a rare degree of candour, so that we learn not only what it was like to be witness to an art that was enjoying an unprecedented explosion of creative vitality, but also how they came to explore and consolidate their own exceptional talents. Biographical background narratives provide links that make clear what intimate correspondents inevitably take for granted, and explanations are given for references that the passage of time has made obscure. Their lives are thus revealed in all their diversity - tragedy and comedy, achievement and frustration, justifiable pride and unreasoning prejudice playing equal parts in this absorbing tale of two outstanding musical personalities of the twentieth century. ...

Product Description
The music of Gerald Finzi, whose popularity has recently enjoyed a great resurgence, is rooted in the tradition of Elgar, Parry, Vaughan Williams and those composers of the early part of this century for whom song writing was a principal means of expression.While retaining a general picture of the modest, quintessentially English composer, Stephen Banfield's stylish, witty and acute biography reveals Finzi as a more complex and engaged figure than he is often given credit for. Finzi's ambiguous relationship with his craft, his affluent and intellectually stimulating family background and his Jewishness lend a mysterious and troubled quality to his life and work, and ultimately invite us to question the notions of Englishness he represents.'In this outstanding study, Stephen Banfield remarks that although Finzi's output and influence were those of a minor composer, "something about his profile, the way he went about his job, the breadth of his thought, the depths of his personality and its impact on others, in short his individuality, always suggested something greater." Thus it is that Finzi, with a relatively small output, now receives a 571-page biography in which the author brings to bear the full weight and authority of analytical scholarship. Is he worth it? Banfield compels one to answer yes.' Michael Kennedy, BBC Music Magazine'Stephen Banfield's long-needed and doubly welcome book does all that a good life-and-works study should do ... he earns the most heartfelt gratitude. So, it should be added, do his publishers.' Musical Times ... Read more

The First Finzi Biography -- Overdue and Well-Done
Who was Gerald Finzi? It is a more important question than it might initially seem for Stephen Banfield in his recent biography of the English composer. The author asks it as part of an attempt to evaluate Finzi's cultural identity as well as artistic attainment in a life that was too short but filled with significant music.

For the classical music lover of more than average discernment, discovery of Finzi's work casts him in the role of visionary. The world can seem forever changed after a first listening to Finzi's vocal works (above all the superb Dies Natalis). He is that remarkable rarity, a relatively unknown composer who provides something like a gift of divine revelation.

For the official histories, on the other hand, he is usually little more than a second- or third-rate member of the English pastoral tradition (less kindly known as the "cow-pat school") that asserted itself between the two world wars, the big names in which were Holst, Vaughan Williams, and Delius. Seen from this more detached viewpoint, Finzi was a close friend of Vaughan Williams as well as a familiar of Bliss, but a composer of nowhere near their abilities -- most characteristically, a man who did small things well, as in his settings of poems by Hardy, Wordsworth, and Traherne.

In this first major biography of Finzi, Banfield (who has a long record of devotion to researching the composer's career for musicology publications) does an excellent job of attempting to place Finzi into perspective between the two views of him from the small and the large ends of the telescope.

Banfield also attempts, more notably, to come to terms with Finzi's peculiar position as a member of an impressive family with ancient Italian Jewish roots (yes, probably related in some way to the Finzi-Continis of movie fame) who made the personal choice to mix with nationalistic English musicians, even arguing in print for the virtues of embracing a strong English cultural identity.

Those who find themselves intrigued by current debates about the role played by ethnic culture in determining personal identity will also be interested by Banfield's treatment of Finzi's dilemma.

But it is to those of us who see Finzi through the magnifying lens, and who have come to feel personally touched by his music, that Banfield has most to say.

How did Finzi live his life? (Quite well, as a person who seemed almost saintly in his abilities to rise above the usual pettiness and indecorous weaknesses of most notables in the arts.) Who did he rub shoulders with? (Many, many fascinating figures in the early twentieth century revival of English music, though not all are well known.)Why should he be remembered at all, beyond the Hardy songs and Dies Natalis? (Among the many activities that this compulsive conservator undertook, he almost single-handedly revived forgotten English composers from the era of Handel.)

And finally -- for fans of the film "Hilary and Jackie" -- was he any relation to the dashing Kiffer Finzi who swept Hilary off her feet? (Indeed, Gerald Finzi was Kiffer's father, though you'd never know it from the film's silence about the father's big cello concerto.)

Personal note: as one of those collectors of English music who have never forgotten the moment of revelation as Dies Natalis (conducted, incidentally, by Kiffer Finzi) made the transition to the turntable after discovery in an obscure record bin, I find it an indispensible service from Banfield to have all the personal lore about the composer between two covers, and nicely written for the most part.

One small warning, though: this is one of those extremely conscientious studies of national musical figures that Faber and Faber do so well. That means that much of its500-plus-pages bulk is taken up with detailed musicological analysis, for the most part closely woven in with the biographical narrative and tending to overshadow it. If you've allowed yourself to become rusty on your key relationships, or if you don't happen to have the complete run of Finzi recordings (or even more helpfully, the scores) at hand, the book will be slow going, even for dedicated page-skippers.

But the book should provide many new insights for the general reader with a curiosity about both musical matters and general English artistic life in the first half of the recent century (Finzi's dates were 1901-1956). And who, having discovered and then fallen in love with Finzi's rapturous vocal revelations, would not wish to have this thorough a portrait of him, crotchets and quavers and all? ... Read more

Product Description
'A Song outlasts a Dynasty.' Gerald Finzi's maxim embodies his creed. As a song writer, his affinity with Thomas Hardy is stronger even than Fauré's with Verlaine, or Wolf's with Mörike. His most famous work is his exquisite cantata Dies Natalis. His Intimations of Immortality is worthy of Wordsworth's poem, and his Cello Concerto is a big turbulent work. From being a solitary introverted young man, he developed into a great activator. He held strong views on education, pacifism, vegetarianism, the nature/nurture debate, the Arts and Crafts movement, the English pastoral tradition, English apple varieties, the significance of ancestry, friendship and marriage in an artist's life. His country home became a centre from which his influence radiated widely. He championed the neglected Ivor Gurney, and revived 18th-century composers with the amateur orchestra he founded. Most of his output is recorded and he is increasingly performed in the USA. McVeagh is known as an Elgar scholar and for her articles and sleevenotes on Finzi. His widow Joy asked her to write the book; she knew Joy well and quotes often from her unpublished journal. She interviews the main figures in Finzi's life, so has exclusive stories, many of them very funny. She quotes too from his correspondence with Vaughan Williams, Edmund Blunden, Arthur Bliss, Edmund Rubbra, Howard Ferguson and Herbert Howells. She discusses every work within the narrative of Finzi's life, and shows what makes his output individual. ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: This article is part of the series:Politics and government ofthe United Kingdom The Lord President of the Council is the fourth of the Great Officers of State of the United Kingdom, ranking beneath the Lord High Treasurer and above the Lord Privy Seal. The Lord President has the responsibility of presiding over meetings of the Privy Council. In the modern era, the holder is by convention always a member of one of the houses of Parliament and the office is a cabinet post. The current Lord President is Nick Clegg MP, who is also Deputy Prime Minister. The Privy Council meets once a month, wherever the Sovereign may be residing at the time, to give formal approval to Orders-in-Council. Only a few privy councillors need attend such meetings, and only when invited to do so at the Government's request. As the duties of the Lord President are not onerous, the post has often been given to a government minister whose responsibilities are not department-specific. In recent years it has been most usual for the Lord President to also serve as Leader of the House of Commons or Leader of the House of Lords. Prior to the 2010 change of government, the Lord President was Lord Mandelson, who was also First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills. This was the first time that the Lord President had not been a leader of one of the Houses since the period 20 October 1963 to 16 October 1964, wherein Lord Hailsham, after resigning as Leader of the House of Lords, kept the office along with the offices of Minister f...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=201871 ...
