Description

The composer Arthur Somervell was also an Inspector of Schools with special responsibility for the teaching of music. His collected writings set forth his philosophy of music education and cast light on musical life between the 1890s and his death in 1937.

The educational dilemma that presented itself to Arthur Somervell at the start of the last century is evident again in Britain today. Thus, in addition to being a work of significant scholarship, Gordon Cox's book makes a valuable contribution both to our current thinking about the place of music in the school curriculum, and to the wider and ever more pressing debate about the purpose and nature of schooling. -

Compelling reading for anyone interested in the history of English music education....[Through this book] we now have access to a significant body of material by Somervell. This is very welcome.
