Description

"This is the first detailed study of Ohana's life and music, and the first to identify the procedures which characterise his mature style. Part One of the book provides a biographical overview of the composer and sets his work in its musical and cultural context, in particular examining the images, symbols and allegorical themes that play a substantial role in Ohana's music. The chapters in Part Two identify and define the main features of his musical language and style. Caroline Rae focuses on the work Signes from 1965 as the crystallisation of Ohana's mature compositional style."--Jacket.
