Vaughan Williams's Ninth Symphony - Studies in Musical Genesis, Structure & Interpretation
Frogley, Alain (, Associate Professor, Music History, University of Connecticut)
This study, the first of its kind on a work of Vaughan Williams, traces the genesis of the composer's enigmatic final symphony as documented in the surviving manuscripts. The latter reveal an underlying programme based on Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles, and chart the composer's struggle to find the technical means by which to realize his most complex spiritual vision.
