The dynamic energy of Beethoven, the dramatic ebb and flow of his music and his use of strongly contrasting, even opposing elements to create a musical argument are all characteristic of Tippett's music.

Broadly speaking, Tippett's music can be seen as falling into four distinct periods.

While it is true that Tippett's music is not as obviously ' English ' in style as composers of the so-called ' English pastoral school ' - Vaughan Williams, Holst and Delius, and later Howells and Finzi-there is an underlying thread of nature mysticism running through it which is as English as William Blake, Samuel Palmer or John Keats.

Tippett's music derives much of its vigour, drive and energy from his contrapuntal writing.

The slow movement of the First String Quartet opens with " an extended arch of lyric melody " ( Ian Kemp ), which was a direct response to the experience of falling in love: " all that love flowed out in the slow movement of my First String Quartet, an unbroken span of lyrical music in which all four instruments sing ardently from start to finish " was Tippett's own description.

A particular feature of Tippett's early works is their rhythmic and contrapuntal energy.

( For higher notes see, for example, the treble solo at the beginning of Stanford's Magnificat in G, David Willcocks ' descant to Mendelssohn's tune for the carol Hark, the Herald Angels Sing, the even higher treble solo from Gregorio Allegri's " Miserere ", and the treble part in the Nunc Dimittis from Tippett's Evening Canticles written for St John's College, Cambridge ) Many trebles are also able to reach higher notes by use of the whistle register but this practice is rarely called for in performance.

The bass oboe is also prominently featured in the First Interlude of Sir Michael Tippett's Triple Concerto.

The opera is punctuated with chorales which refer back to Johann Sebastian Bach, and which are also reminiscent of the African-American spirituals used for a similar purpose in Michael Tippett's oratorio A Child of Our Time.
