{"product_id":"the-cambridge-companion-to-vaughan-alain-frogley-9780521197687","title":"The Cambridge Companion to Vaughan Williams","description":"An icon of British national identity and one of the most widely performed twentieth-century composers, Ralph Vaughan Williams has been misunderstood as much as he had been revered; his international impact and enduring influence on areas as diverse as church music, film scores and popular music has been insufficiently appreciated. This volume brings together a team of leading scholars, examining all areas of the composer's output from new perspectives, and re-evaluating the cultural politics of his lifelong advocacy for the music-making of ordinary people. Surveys of major genres are complemented by chapters exploring such topics as the composer's relationship with the BBC and his studies with Ravel; uniquely, the book also includes specially commissioned interviews with major living composers Peter Maxwell Davies, Piers Hellawell, Nicola Lefanu and Anthony Payne. The Companion is a vital resource for all those interested in this pivotal figure of modern music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alain Frogley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521197686\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521197687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Alain Frogley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44149179711743,"sku":"9780521197687","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_db8b0c39-989d-411f-8e44-167961037e49.jpg?v=1688455259","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cambridge-companion-to-vaughan-alain-frogley-9780521197687","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
