Course Description

iNSTRUCTOR: Sally Kann Although British orchestral masterworks are frequently programmed today, important music by English composers came a bit late to the party. After Purcell’s death, the most popular composers in England were two Germans: Handel, Mendelssohn. But in the 19th c., English composers began to develop their own national style, with a distinct ‘Britishness’ in rhythm, harmony, and texture. A rich, unique sound emerged in the 20th century, which pervaded both the symphonic and choral traditions.
