This collection of essays seeks to reflect the many aspects of the life and work of William Walton. Written by acknowledged Walton scholars they cover the literary influences in his music and the current debates that surround them. Walton's particularly well-known compositions are examined, such as Belshazzar's Feast, Troilus and Cressida and FaAade. Also included is an overview of his 14 film scores and an analysis of his first and second symphonies and his concertos.

Choice '... the present paucity of Walton research ensures that all these essays have some useful contribution to make' Music and Letters 'The volume is up to Ashgate's usual high standards of overall presentation' Music and Letters
