A collection of essays and documents illuminating the work of Bohuslav Martin?, published in collaboration with the Bard Music Festival. Bohuslav Martin? was one of the most extraordinary and prolific composers of the twentieth century. Martin? and His World offers a portrait of the composer in all his complexity. Born in the present-day Czech Republic, Martin? was rendered stateless as a result of events around World War II and the Communist takeover of Czechoslovakia. He lived for more than a decade in the United States, where he had great success, and died in Switzerland. Martin? composed more than four hundred works in all genres of instrumental and vocal music, and infused each with a special combination of the lyrical and the dramatic. Alongside an unerring sense of form, his works draw on a kaleidoscope of elements from such sources as Dvo?ák, American jazz of the 1920s, English Renaissance madrigals, the late Baroque concerto grosso, French Impressionism, Czech and Moravian folk songs, and the contemporary music of his day. This volume pays special attention to Martin?'s little-known operatic works and presents for the first time both a recently discovered personal diary and a series of interviews with important figures who were part of his American years. Martin? and His World reveals the composer as an essential voice of his time, an original thinker about music past and present, who lived through the political complexities of the twentieth century and stood up to them both as a human being and as an artist.
