This definitive biography of Malcolm Arnold by Paul Harris and Anthony Meredith has been reprinted as a paperback.
Long out of print, this important book is now back in print thanks to Queen’s Temple Publications and Faber Music.
A vivid and frank account of the life, times and music of Britain’s most misunderstood composer. Malcolm Arnold rose to fame and acclaim in the 1950s, composing countless film scores and stage works characterised by a distinctive melodic style that captured post-war optimism. As musical tastes shifted towards the distinctly anti-melodic avant-garde, Arnold suffered severe depression and a tragic fall in popularity that would continue to fuel his illness. His dramatic personal and professional rehabilitation makes for a remarkable saga of survival. Anthony Meredith and Paul Harris present a meticulous and detailed, authoritative account of a true British musical hero and rogue genius.
