Abstract

To an extent unusual among present-day composers, Robin Holloway is occupied with words—as a lecturer and teacher at Cambridge, as the author of many articles and reviews, as the compiler of his own libretti, and as one who sets the words of others to music. Of his forty-one works with opus number, eighteen are sets of songs; another five are unaccompanied choral works. He has also written an opera and three cantatas.
