The Music of Hamish Maccunn (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781477235041)

For many people, Hamish MacCunn's name is forever associated with one work The Land of the Mountain and the Flood. Yet, in his short life (1868 - 1916) he wrote other equally fi ne orchestral works, cantatas, two grand operas and over 100 songs. This book is the fi rst detailed examination of his output, providing a contextual basis for, and a stylistic analysis of his major works. In this way it seeks to establish informed criteria by which a truer assessment of MacCunn's signifi cance may be made, challenging the sovereignty of The Land of the Mountain and the Flood in the public's reckoning, and hence revealing it to be not an isolated peak but one summit among many.
