Descrizione:

Studied at Frankfurt-on-main (Germanic influences in his music)
His songs may be regarded as a peak in that english tradition in romanticism
He showed a particular sensitivity to the accentuation of words as well as a high standard in choice of voice
Had a melodic gift (beautiful) and used enriched harmonies
Composed many settings of Shakespeare
Excelled at using strophic form for very different poetic meanings
Like Purcell!
Listen to three quilter songs on the listening list.
Think about why they might be regarded as the peak of English romanticism (in song)
Listen to the harmonies and texture of the piano accompaniment and think about why his songs stand out, even though he didn’t make any new developments in English Song

Quilter made his reputation mainly as a song composer. This illustrates a change in Society;
People were ready to receive a new kind of song
There were many good interpretations in England at this time
