Abstract
‘From the Celtic to the Abstract: Shifting Perspectives in the Music of John Buckley’ surveys the trajectory of the Irish composer's development in compositional aesthetics. Buckey's early works such as Taller than Roman Spears (1977), Oileáin (1979), Boireann (1983) and I am Wind on Sea (1987) embrace a Celticism in their mythical sources and, in some cases, their absorption of traditional Irish materials in varying degress of sublimation. The essay overviews Buckely's movement away from these early influences to disclose his increasing fascination with abstract schemata profoundly influenced by French musical aesthetics.
