There are one or two curious omissions. He notes the continued reputation of the church music of Edmund Rubbra, but manages to discuss Herbert Howells without mention of that composer's even more popular and enduring church music. He dispels the common misperception that Stanford and Parry were the only composers of their day by mention of Alexander Mackenzie. However, he perpetuates the similar misperception that there are only two modern English composers, Britten and Tippett: surely his most significant omission is that of Lennox Berkeley (born 1903, only two years after Rubbra and Finzi), whose work is certainly due for a revival of interest. But on the whole I find this book an invaluable handbook to the history of 20th century English music. I could do with a similar book to take the story on past Britten to include younger composers such as Peter Maxwell Davies and Harrison Birtwhistle: but perhaps that is the point at which the coherent narrative of the musical renaissance unravels in the chaos of late 20th-century cultural upheaval.
