أرنولد باكس

باكس عام 1922

سير أرنولد إدوار تريفور باكس Sir Arnold Edward Trevor Bax (و.ثمانية نوفمبر 1883 – م. ثلاثة أكتوبر 1953) موسيقي إنجليزي وشاعر

مبكرا في دراساته، اشتعل خيال باكس باعمال الشاعر الايرلندي دبليوبي ييتس، الذي قدم شعره وخياله السلتي الهام لبعض اكثر القصائد السمفونية الانيقة للموسيقي مثل "حديقة فاند" و"تنتاجيل". بعد انتاجه ينافس فون وليامز الذي كان مكرما قبله بوقت قصير وضع باكس وموسيقاه مرة اخرى على الخريطة.

حياته وموسيقاه

اتى باكس من اسرة موسرة كان له دوما دخله الخاص ولم يجني عيشه قط خلال التدريس اوالعزف. مبجرد ان اكتشف حبه لشعر يييتس وقصيدته "الغسق السلتي" تطورت موسيقى باكس بسرعة كما نشر رواياته الخاصة باسم مستعار "درموت اوبراين". قصائده السمفونية التي خطها اثناء الحرب العالمية الاولى تستحضر سحر الطبيعة مما يعكس الجوالرومانسي لريتشارد شتراوس والاسلوب الانطباعي لديبوسي. على العكس موسيقاه المستحضرة لسبع سمفونيات خطها - جميع منها مكون من ثلاثة بدلا من أربعة حركات المعتادة تجسد وضوح والكونترابنط الذي تفهمه من سبيليوس.
