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.
