The Invisible Art

En savoir plus sur le livre

For the first time, The Invisible Art examines the work of Irish composers from before the founding of the Irish state right up to the twenty-first century. From valiant pioneers struggling against the tide to confident, highly individual twenty-first-century voices, it also highlights the difficulties musical creators faced in securing a clearly defined place in wider Irish society. The Invisible Art brings to life the music of a nation: from Rhoda Coghill's cantata Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking, written on the grounds of Trinity College during Ireland's Civil War "with, just around the corner, bullets and grenades flying", to Gerald Barry's irreverent operatic adaptation of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, "the first great comic opera of the twenty-first century." The views of the composers themselves are coupled with contributions by leading interpreters and experts to make for a rich narrative in this lavishly illustrated homage to an underappreciated art [Publisher description]
