An evaluation of the validity of Arnold Whittall's division of twentieth-century composers into syllogists (my term) such as Benjamin Britten, who set up a frame and diversify within it, and symbolists such as Michael Tippett, who seek a centre among converging polarities. Four key voice-and-piano settings of English text are examined — Britten's The Holy Sonnets of John Donne (1945) and Winter Words (1953), and Tippett's Boyhood's End (1943) and The Heart's Assurance (1951) — to find what emotional and structural sensibilities attracted each composer to his text, and how far their musical structures accommodated or subverted the literary design. |
