About this Book

From Mozart to Debussy to Messaien, the works of 50 composers are closely examined. This is the book for anyone who enjoys the lively arts fo opera, drama, film, literature and popular song and who wants to find out what is really going on in the symphonies of Mozart, the quartets of Beethoven, the orchestral wokrs of Debussy and Ravel and the contemporary works of Messiaen and Part. Father M. Owen Lee writes in a style that has been called "rich, dense and profound," "highly readable" and "often irreverently amusing." With him as a guide, the intricacies of classical forms and key relationships are rendered not only intelligible but meaningful. The accompanying 2 CDs feature a complete recording of Beethoven's 5th Symphony, and selections from works by 12 other composers.
