Near-complete collection of this great English composerâ??s keyboard compositions including the eight suites the core of his keyboard works.

This three-movement work written in 1953 demonstrates York Bowen’s deep understanding of the Piano and displays his marked individuality. York Bowne was a British composer whose fifty-year career musical career spanned much ofthe 20th century. Bowen was not only a prolific composer he was also a pianist conductor Organist Violinist and Horn player. He premiered many important works and his own music was featured many times at the Proms amongother concert series. Sir Henry J Wood believed Bowen had never received proper recognition and Camille Saint-Saens regarded him as the ‘finest of English composers’ early in his career. His compositional style changed littlethroughout his life so that his later oeuvre was less celebrated than his earlier works as music fashion had moved on.

The seemingly endless invention of the 24 Preludes for Piano follows the key scheme employed by Bach in The Well-Tempered Clavier through a landscape of harmonic subtlety and craftsmanship of the most refined sort.York Bowen wasa British composer whose fifty-year career musical career spanned much of the 20th century.

This collection of 15 pieces, transcribed and edited by the Howells scholar Jonathan Clinch and published for the first time to coincide with Matthew Schellhorn?s recording of the complete piano music by Howells for Naxos, reveals a previously neglected aspect of this celebrated English composer.
The pieces chart the musical development of Howells, from his earliest known work The Arab?s Song, written when he was 16, to the Petrus Suite, completed in his 80s, as well as demonstrating his fascination with French music (Phantasy, Harlequin Dreaming) and the Tudor period (Pavane and Galliard).
The volume also includes the moving tribute to his friend and fellow composer Finzi: his rest. Comprising a wide array of pieces from characterful miniatures to more substantial suites, the collection will appeal to Howells devotees and lovers of 20th century English music, as well to as anyone seeking fresh and distinctive piano repertoire. / Partitions classique / Piano - instruments à clavier / Piano / NOVELLO
