	Sir Michael Tippett (1905 - 1998) by David Wright (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Tippett was an extraordinary man. All his life he was engaged in a quest into the three subjects which we are often advised never to discuss, namely sex, politics and religion.
		Tippett was not a coward whereas Britten and Pears fled to the USA to escape conscription and only returned to England when they believed the US Army would call them up.
		Tippett's search for a personal, or experimental, style is taken up again in his Concerto for Orchestra of 1963 in which he divides the orchestra into small groups or sets thus trying to identify himself with the avant garde.

		When Tippett’s style is understood by the conductor, and his technical difficulties mastered by the players, the rhythms lilt and leap, the sweep of the melodies unfolds and the takes wing; but until then it can sound laboured and congested.
		Tippett’s harmonic idiom automatically disqualified him; indeed, the whole ethos of a work like The midsummer marriage, his first opera, its affirmativeness and joyful abundance, was alien to their notion of contemporary art.
		Tippett believed that art, rather than reflect its times, should be a corrective to them, should strive to turn sorrow to joy, confront complacency and escapism with grim reality, and always combat the dehumanising forces in modern life.

		Michael Tippett was never satisfied with one kind of musical form.
		Tippett’s career is a series of appropriations and experimentations; he's never ceased seeking his own individual form of expression through his investigations of other forms.
		By the 1960s, Tippett’s style included electric guitars, references to television soap operas and extra-terrestrials, hints of reggae and rap, and a dark, psychedelic undercurrent -- all within the context of opera.

		While other young composers were plunging into new sounds, Sir Michael continued to immerse himself in the past, in the works of musicians of the 17th and 18th centuries, and finally, Beethoven, whom he had turned away from as a boy, fearing undue influence.

	James Wierzbicki / Michael Tippett
		IN ONE OF THE many fascinating digressions that figure into his new book on the British composer Michael Tippett, author Ian Kemp admits that it is still too early to summarize the 'feel' of the serious concert music produced in the 1960s and 70s.
		Tippett's work is all of a piece, Kemp suggests, and it is only because the underlying philosophy is so consistent that its relevance to specific social or political issues perhaps seems ambiguous.
		Michael Tippett's recent music does not merely 'come down heavily in favor of the humanistic.' It is humanistic, through and through, and for that reason alone it collectively represents one of the most outstanding artistic achievements of the 20th century.
