" . . music is neither old nor modern: it is either good or bad music, and
the date at which it was written has no significance whatever. Dates and
periods are of interest only to the student of musical history. . . . All old
music was modern once, and much more of the music of yesterday
already sounds more old-fashioned than works which were written three
centuries ago. All good music, whatever its date, is ageless -- as alive and
significant today as it was when it was written . . ."
can also be found on page 197 of Barry Smith's highly acclaimed book as
titled above. Published in 1994, the centenary of Heseltine's birth, this
book is perhaps only the second major and authoritative work on the
subject of a controversial figure such as Heseltine. The first one by
Warlock's friend and some time companion Cecil Gray, has been out of
print for many years.
Published by Oxford University Press, this is an extremely well
researched and written work. Warlock scholars are recommended to add
this book to their small but unique collection of literature pertaining a
figure (in the musical sense) of inimitable quality. Hardback and
Paperback now available.
