{"product_id":"arthur-sullivan-a-victorian-musician-a-victorian-musician","title":"Arthur Sullivan: A Victorian Musician","description":"\u003cp\u003ePublished in 1992. This is a revised, enlarged edition of a book which on its original appearance in 1984 was hailed as a landmark in the study of Victorian musical life. It presents the figure of Sir Arthur Sullivan (1842-1990) not only as the celebrated co-creator of light operas with W.S Gilbert, but as a composer of all kinds of music from symphony and concerto to ballads such as ‘The Lost Chord’ and hymns such as ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’. A prominent public life, with a knighthood in 1883, is contrasted with an unconventional private life involving a liaison of almost thirty years with an American living in London, Mary Frances Ronalds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author’s access to Sullivan’s diary held by Yale University and to letters and other documents at the Pierpont Morgan library in New York gives this book both a unique authority and a deep human understanding. A new chapter updates research to the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth, 1992, and incorporates music examples. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50091467243864,"sku":"9781138609495","price":63.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138609495.jpg?v=1777288519","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/arthur-sullivan-a-victorian-musician-a-victorian-musician","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
