 Classical Net - Composers - Arnold
More than most composers, Arnold's music is distinguished by its sound: rhythmically vital (if – at times – melodically quite brutally sparse), his extrordinary flair for orchestration (Shostakovich and Walton the most obvious influences) has combined with one of the most potent dramatic senses since Berlioz to create an unmistakable soundscape.
In some ways, Arnold is a chamber music composer writ large (solo instruments – particularly in the brass – tend to dominate a continuo-style orchestral texture); while his use of popular music styles (particularly jazz) is easily the equal of Villa-Lôbos.
As a composer, Arnold is as capable of riotous humor (the "Tam o' Shanter" overture or his wonderful "Hoffnung Festival" pastiches) as blistering despair (the Seventh and Ninth Symphonies).
