The turn of the 20th century saw a new interest in English folk song and dance, which in turn inspired the art world. This book focuses on the lives of seven English composers - Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst, George Butterworth, Ernest Moeran, Philip Heseltine, Gerald Finzi and Percy Grainger. Each chapter provides historical background and tells the fascinating story of a musical life.
