“As the other reviewer says, the definitive work. Everything you need to know...”
- Tony Palmer, film-makerA detailed book on the life and work of Holst, composer of the modern classic "The Planets". Informed by the author's extensive work with Holst's daughter and full, authorised access to Holst's documents including his letters and diaries, Short's first version of this work was considered a vital update to Imogen Holst's biography of her father, published 50 years previously. This new, revised biography includes Short's original, expert analysis of Holst's musical style, tracing the origins and growth of Holst's fascination with both native and exotic folksong, his explorations of Indian language and mysticism and the form and expression of those elements in his works.The original, substantial reference section now features further additions and updates of both academic and general interest including an extended bibliography, records from Morley College, writings about Holst by his friend Vaughan Williams and additional illustrations – drawings, concert programmes, posters and photographs.Author Michael Short is a composer, born in Bermuda and educated in England. He studied music at Morley College and London University and won a Mendelssohn Scholarship to study composition in Italy with Goffredo Petrassi and in London with Sir Lennox Berkeley. His music covers a wide range, from simple pieces for beginners to instrumental, choral, and orchestral works. He has compiled a complete catalogue of Holst’s works, edited his letters to W.G. Whittaker, and curated the Holst Centenary Exhibition shown in London at the Royal Festival Hall
