Lutyens, Elisabeth. (1906–1983). Motet, Op. 27 ("Excerpta Tractati Logico-Philosophici") - SIGNED SCORE. London: Schott. 1965. Signed score of Motet, Op. 27 (1953) for unaccompanied chorus on a German text from Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus logico-philosophicus. Small upright quarto, stapled.  [PN] S & Co. 6567.  13 pp.  Inscribed, "With all good wishes Dr. Elisabeth Lutyens" to head of page 1 and autograph corrections to measure 4 and back cover.  10 x 7 inches (25.3 x 17.8 cm).  Somewhat creased; else in fine condition.

For advocates of the musical avant-garde in Britain, Lutyens is a saintly figure.  "Canonic and tightly organized in melodic flow, the Motet on words of Ludwig Wittgenstein is based on a 12-note series itself formed from a three-note cell, so allowing quasi-Webernian symmetries.  Lutyens was now on the point of writing her finest music, yet the direction taken by her work had led to an almost total neglect.  Her use of 12-note technique seems to have been considered almost morally reprehensible by some in England in the 1950s."  Anthony Payne and Toni Calm in Grove Music Online.
