Immaculately presented, with copious musical examples. It stands as
a prime example of how one might go about a critical analysis of a
work, moving back and forth between historical, analytical, and
expressive interpretations...a major contribution to Britten
studies, but its rich ideas have resonance far beyond this field,
and deserve closer attention.
*MUSIC & LETTERS*
Winner of the Sue Thomson Foundation Publishing Award for 2006.
From the citation: This monograph [is] a ground-breaking case study
of the author's work on the successful integration of words and
music. The judges suspect that it is rare to find typographical
skills of a high level combined with musicological expertise.
