Vaughan Williams: A Life in Photographs Hardcover - 1992
by Jerrold Northrop Moore; Ursula Vaughan Williams (With)
From the rear cover
Vaughan Williams was one of the most significant English composers of this century and a key architect of the English Musical Renaissance. Much of his prodigious output has entered the standard repertoire; the Tallis Fantasia, Serenade to Music, the Fifth Symphony, On Wenlock Edge, and so on. Here is an entirely novel view of Vaughan Williams, his music and his life. Using techniques originated in his Elgar: A Life in Photographs, Jerrold Northrop Moore has drawn photographs from family albums (many hitherto unpublished), from the great photographic artists of the earlier twentieth century, and from newspaper and magazine files to build a fascinating illustrated portrait of the composer. The visual images are set with captions, many of them quotations from Ursula Vaughan Williams's unique biography, RVW. Each layout is carefully built up to set a scene, establish an emphasis, and often to cast lines of influence over many years in the composer's life. Jerrold Northrop Moore's work has had the benefit of close consultation with the composer's widow, who has written a preface.
