Aspects of British music of the 1990s

The 1990s work of six British composers forms the focus of this collection of essays, arising from a conference that took place at University of Surrey Roehampton in February 1999.

The composers whose music is discussed are James Dillon, Thomas Ad?s, Harrison Birtwistle, Jonathan Harvey, Edwin Roxburgh and Sebastian Forbes.

Reflecting the aims of the conference, this volume brings together composers and musicologists to discuss significant works from the last decade of the twentieth century, and also some of the wider issues surrounding British music.
