Alan Bush, Modern Music, and the Cold War Bullivant Joanna University of Oxford
The first major study of Alan Bush, this book provides new perspectives on twentieth-century music and communism. His radical vision for British music prompted serious reflections on aesthetics and the rights of artists to private political opinions, as well as influencing the development of state-sponsored music making in East Germany. British communist, composer of politicised works, and friend of Soviet musicians, Bush proved to be 'a lightning rod' in the national musical culture.
Drawing on a wealth of archival sources, including recently released documents from MI5, this Rejecting previous characterisations of Bush as political and musical Other, Joanna Bullivant traces his aesthetic project from its origins in the 1920s to its collapse in the 1970s, incorporating discussion of modernism, political song, music theory, opera, and Bush's response to the Soviet music crisis of 1948.
