A Source of Innocent Merriment in an Object All Sublime: the Choral Works of Sir Arthur Sullivan

Description

This book deals with the choral music of Sir Arthur Sullivan (1842-1900) and is a serious study of the works both historically and musically. It is the first book to discuss all of Sullivan's major choral works in detail in one volume, breaking new ground with a fresh approach to the musical analysis of the works and in the process, shedding new light on the mind of the composer. This makes the book an object of interest both to the serious student of music and to the general reader who has an interest in the choral music of the nineteenth century.
