Beyond Britten : the composer and the community / edited by Peter Wiegold & Ghislaine Kenyon. - 272 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cm

With his Aspen award lecture (1964), Benjamin Britten expressed a unique commitment to community and place. This book revisits this seminal lecture, but then uses it as a starting point of reflection, inviting leading composers, producers and writers to consider the role of the composer in the community in Britain in the last fifty years.
