Hymns to the Silence Inside the Words and Music of Van Morrison is a book published via Continuum Books in June 2010, written by English academic Peter Mills. The book is the first full length study of Van Morrison s work which does not claim to be a biography. Mills focusses completely on the music, and also casts light on parts of Morrison s songbook that are usually skipped over in career overviews and synopses. He concentrates especially on a number of case studies of key albums, particularly on Veedon Fleece , Into the Music and Common One . The book contains interviews with several artists including Ben Sidran , Kevin Rowland of Dexy s Midnight Runners , Folk singer Kate Rusby and Maria McKee . Like Ben Sidran, Mills is a musician as well as a writer so the book offers insight from inside the music as well as in depth scrutiny of records and shows. The book covers Morrison s musical debt to America, his Irishness , his approach to live work, analyses of studio recordings from Them right through to the present day and a whole chapter devoted to a study of Morrison as a singer and a musician.
