1 Britten s Unquiet Pasts Examining the intersections between musical culture and a British project of reconstruction from the 1940s to the early 1960s, this study asks how gestures toward the past negotiated issues of recovery and renewal. In the wake of the Second World War, music became a privileged site for re-enchanting notions of history and community, but musical recourse to the past also raised issues of mourning and loss. How was sound figured as a historical object, and as a locus of memory and magic? Wiebe addresses this question using a wide range of sources, from planning documents to journalism, public ceremonial, and literature. Its central focus, however, is a set of works by Benjamin Britten that engaged both with the distant musical past and with key episodes of postwar reconstruction, including the Festival of Britain, the Coronation of Elizabeth II, and the rebuilding of Coventry Cathedral. HEATHER WIEBE is Assistant Professor of Music at the University of Virginia. A member of the editorial board of the Opera Quarterly, she has published widely on twentieth-century music, British musical culture, and opera.
2 Music Since 1900 general editor Arnold Whittall This series formerly Music in the Twentieth Century offers a wide perspective on music and musical life since the end of the nineteenth century. Books included range from historical and biographical studies concentrating particularly on the context and circumstances in which composers were writing, to analytical and critical studies concerned with the nature of musical language and questions of compositional process. The importance given to context will also be reflected in studies dealing with, for example, the patronage, publishing, and promotion of new music, and in accounts of the musical life of particular countries. Titles in the series Jonathan Cross The Stravinsky Legacy Michael Nyman Experimental Music: Cage and Beyond Jennifer Doctor The BBC and Ultra-Modern Music, Robert Adlington The Music of Harrison Birtwistle Keith Potter Four Musical Minimalists: La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Philip Glass Carlo Caballero Fauré and French Musical Aesthetics Peter Burt The Music of Toru Takemitsu David Clarke The Music and Thought of Michael Tippett: Modern Times and Metaphysics M.

9 Acknowledgments It is a pleasure to thank the many people and institutions who have helped with this project over the years. Katherine Bergeron, Richard Taruskin, Roger Parker, and James Vernon read and responded to multiple versions of this text and made crucial interventions in its planning and execution, particularly at the dissertation stage. Many others offered ideas and encouragement, including David Levin, my colleagues at the University of Virginia, and members of the Michigan Society of Fellows. At Berkeley, Martin Deasy, Laura Basini, Greg Bloch, Michael Markham, Dave Paul, Anna Nisnevich, and Mary Ann Smart also provided inspiration and support. Thanks also to Arnold Whittall, as well as staff at Cambridge University Press, for guiding this book through its final stages, and to Steven Kemper and Aurie Hsu for preparing the music examples. I m grateful for the grants, fellowships, and research time provided by the University of Virginia and the Michigan Society of Fellows, which allowed me to complete this book, and for a generous subvention from the AMS 75 PAYS Endowment of the American Musicological Society. The dissertation on which it is built was also supported by the American Musicological Society, UC Berkeley, and Berkeley s Townsend Center for the Humanities, while Berkeley s Center for British Studies and Pembroke College, Cambridge made possible an invaluable year of research in Britain.
