A new book about Vivienne Olive and her music
Vivienne Olive has been composing since she first sat at the piano at the age of seven. Her oeuvre is incredibly diverse, characterized by di fferent in fluences and always inviting discovery.
According to Olive herself, her catalogue of works includes serious, often serial compositions for soloists, small ensembles and large-scale orchestral apparatuses and choirs.
Olive devotes extensive studies and analyses to these before completion, sometimes with detailed proportion plans. Olive also frequently composes spontaneous light music, such as
the lively Bush Gin Rag.
