Aims of the Compositions

 

From the notes on historical development the main influences were from exponents of Chromatic Music.

The aim of the work of the composer William Lennox in instrumental music was to use the chromatic base as a means to extend the range of the harmony.

Although the overall harmony was chromatic, fast changing areas of a developed diatonics is central to the method.

 

The 20th century developments in New Music were a long way from becoming central to culture or indeed providing inspiration to the population as a whole, the extended and developed harmony of these compositions is an attempt to move New Music in this direction.

 

Surely the driving aim of new music since the start by Schoenberg is to takes place at the centre of modern culture providing the influence and inspiration to even the central core of politics, to take this chromatic base to this new level in society is the greatest ever challenge to composers.
