In this episode of Biographers in Conversation’s special summer season, multi-award-winning broadcaster, composer and author Andrew Ford AOM chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about his latest book, The Shortest History of Music.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode:

  • Andrew Ford explains how he balanced brevity and intellectual depth while crafting a 200-page book spanning 4,000 years of musical history
  • How he synthesised a multiplicity of musical traditions and cultures into a seamless narrative
  • How he balanced historical accuracy with masterful storytelling
  • Why he examined music from multiple angles: Its fundamental impulses; the impact of notation; music as a profession and commodity; the concept of modernism and the revolutionary effects of recording technology
  • How he skilfully weaved history, culture and personal insight into a tapestry that celebrates music in all its forms.
