Singing in the Wilderness: Music and Ecology in the Twentieth Century 1st edition

Beginning with two turn-of-the-century operas - Frederick Delius' "A Village Romeo and Juliet" and Claude Debussy's "Pellias et Mlisande" - that present humankind as lost in a tangled wood that is at once internal and external, this title develops the theme of wilderness in sociological, psychological, ecological, and even geological terms.
