Hamish MacCunn’s career unfolded amidst the restructuring of British musical culture and the rewriting of the Western European political landscape. Having risen to fame in the late 1880s with a string of Scottish works, MacCunn further highlighted his Caledonian background by cultivating a Scottish artistic persona that defined him throughout his life. His attempts to broaden his appeal ultimately failed. This, along with his difficult personality and a series of poor professional choices, led to the slow demise of what began as a promising career. As the first comprehensive study of MacCunn’s life, the book illustrates how social and cultural situations as well as his personal relationships influenced his career. While his fierce loyalty to his friends endeared him to influential people who helped him throughout his career, his refusal of his Royal College of Music degree and his failure to complete early commissions assured him a difficult path. Drawing upon primary resources, Oates traces the development of MacCunn’s music chronologically, juxtaposing his Scottish and more cosmopolitan compositions within a discussion of his life and other professional activities. This picture of MacCunn and his music reveals on the one hand a talented composer who played a role in establishing national identity in British music and, on the other, a man who unwittingly sabotaged his own career.

Hamish MacCunn (1868-1916) had his first big success with his concert overture The Land of the Mountain and the Flood, which premiered on 5 November 1887 at the Crystal Palace through the auspices of Sir George Grove (1820-1900) and under the baton of August Manns (1825-1907). A few months later, Manns introduced MacCunn¿s orchestral ballad, The Ship o¿ the Fiend, and The Dowie Dens o¿ Yarrow premiere followed on 13 October 1888. These three overtures established MacCunn as a composer, were three of his most regularly performed works during his lifetime, and remain his most often recorded and performed works today. All three works were published around the time of their premieres, although fewer than a dozen libraries in the United States and the United Kingdom hold these scores. This edition is the first publication of any of MacCunn¿s scores (not including reprints and arrangements by others) since the mid-twentieth century.

For many people, Hamish MacCunn's name is forever associated with one work The Land of the Mountain and the Flood. Yet, in his short life (1868 – 1916) he wrote other equally fi ne orchestral works, cantatas, two grand operas and over 100 songs. This book is the fi rst detailed examination of his output, providing a contextual basis for, and a stylistic analysis of his major works. In this way it seeks to establish informed criteria by which a truer assessment of MacCunn's signifi cance may be made, challenging the sovereignty of The Land of the Mountain and the Flood in the public's reckoning, and hence revealing it to be not an isolated peak but one summit among many.

The Symphonic Poem in Britain 1850-1950 aims to raise the status of the genre generally and in Britain specifically. The volume reaffirms British composers' confidence in dealing with literary texts and takes advantage of the contributors' interdisciplinary expertise by situating discussions of the tone poem in Britain in a variety of historical, analytical and cultural contexts. This book highlights some of the continental models that influenced British composers, and identifies a range of issues related to perceptions of the genre. Richard Strauss became an important figure in Britain during this time, not only in terms of the clear impact of his tone poems, but the debates over their value and even their ethics. A focus on French orchestral music in Britain represents a welcome addition to scholarly debate, and links to issues in several other chapters. The historical development of the genre, the impact of compositional models, issues highlighted in critical reception as well as programming strategies all contribute to a richer understanding of the symphonic poem in Britain. Works by British composers discussed in more detail include William Wallace's Villon (1909), Gustav Holst's Beni Mora(1909-10), Hubert Parry's From Death to Life (1914), John Ireland's Mai-Dun (1921), and Frank Bridge's orchestral 'poems' (1903-15).

Britain, long revered for its choral music and partsongs, had largely neglected art songs since the Elizabethan era. The middle of the nineteenth century witnessed efforts to revive the genre, particularly in the works of Sir C. Hubert Parry and Sir Charles Villiers Stanford. The following generation, including the Scottish composer Hamish MacCunn (18681916), built on the foundations laid by Parry and Stanford and served as the bridge to the vocal music of Ralph Vaughan Williams, Sir Edward Elgar, Ivor Gurney, John Ireland, and ultimately Benjamin Britten. Though best known for his Scottish-influenced compositions, MacCunn composed over 100 songs that, free from national constraints, are some of the most refined and sophisticated examples of his music. Almost no modern editions of MacCunns song exist, though many were published during the composers lifetime. The current two-part edition presents the composers 102 extant songs. Part 1 contains 53 individual songs; part 2 presents the songs that were first published as sets.
