That is my pleasure this evening. I have loved the "Messiah" for many years (not saying how many!). To my mind it is a pity that it is usually confined to the busy period of Christmas, so I am particularly pleased to have a Lenten performance. The emotion and drama of the Easter story are something quite special, and deserve to be savoured. Our wonderful soloists and the East Lancs Sinfonia will, I am sure, join with the choir to produce a magical musical experience. We will not be having our usual lighter-themed concert at Middleton Arena this year. Instead we will be holding a Choir "At Home" evening on Friday, 16th June in our regular rehearsal venue - the beautiful Ballroom of Chadderton Town Hall, from 7.30 to 10.30pm. You are invited to join us for a short concert, followed by some time for social and fund-raising activities.

Dr. SERGE KOUSSEVITZKY, Conductor FIFTY-FIRST SEASON, 1931-1932 WITH HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE NOTES BY PHILIP HALE COPYRIGHT, 1932, BY BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, INC. 757 THE TRUMPET 1 HE clarion of the Eleventh Century was the im- mediate predecessor of the trumpet. The early in- strument, also called claro y and clarino, was a short straight tube of brass with one end carrying a cup- shaped mouthpiece and the other widening out into a bell. In the Eighteenth Century, Meyer of Hamburg made what has been called the first improvement in the trumpet — he invented a practical mouthpiece. Then occured a series of revolutionary changes. In 1780 Wogel added " tubes"; Wiedenger, court- trumpeter in Vienna, added " stops" in 1801; next came the "keys," with Sattler of Leipzig turning out the first trumpets equipped with them; and finally Striegel, a German orchestra player, introduced cer- tain refinements in bore and tubing. The trumpet is truly a stately and heraldic instru- ment. It is the portrayer of tournaments and pro- cessions, of pageants with a martial and romantic tinge. Its great agility makes it admirably suited to rapid figures, arpeggios, and to repetitions. In addi- tion to its strident calls, it can produce effects either fantastic or of extreme sweetness. Berlioz wrote: "The quality of the trumpet tone is noble and brilliant . It lends itself to the expression of all energetic and lofty and grand sentiments and to the majority of tragic accents." * * * * 1 HERE are many ways in which the services of Old Colony Trust Company as Executor and Trustee can help you obtain a definite objective.

  • Newsletter Wednesday 10Th March 2021
    Winchester City Festival Choir NEWSLETTER WEDNESDAY 10TH MARCH 2021 Welcome to another edition of ramblings from the conductor! I hope the newsletter continues to find you well. When Vaughan Williams met Shakespeare I think Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 – 1958) has the accolade of being the composer to gett the most mentions in these newsletters! I make no apology for this, or for bringing his music to your attention again this week! I’m going secular for a change, and focusing on some of his music which uses the words of William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616). I’m going slightly off track this week as the first piece isn’t technically written for a choir, so it isn’t choral, but it could be… and is often sung by choirs with four soloists. Before we get to our first piece of music, a little history of the English conductor Sir Henry Wood (1869 – 1944), best known for his association with London's annual series of promenade concerts, known as the Proms. Indeed, it has been said that Henry Wood made the Proms and the Proms made Henry Wood! Wood studied at the Royal Academy of Music and at first seems to have intended a career as a composer, but his conducting abilities were to win out, particularly from 1895 when still only 26, he assumed the conductorship of a new series of Promenade Concerts to be given at the recently built Queen’s Hall in Langham Place. Nobody would have guessed that the series would survive two world wars and (hopefully) a pandemic! That it did was testament to Henry Wood’s devotion and sheer hard work over a 50-year period.

    AUSTRALIAN EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID DAME JOAN HILDA HOOD HAMMOND (1912-1996) PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMS AND EPHEMERA (PROMPT) PRINTED AUSTRALIANA FEBRUARY 2018 Dame Joan Hilda Hood Hammond, DBE, CMG (24 May 1912 – 26 November 1996) was a New Zealand born Australian operatic soprano, singing coach and champion golfer. She toured widely, and became noted particularly for her Puccini roles, and appeared in the major opera houses of the world – the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, La Scala, the Vienna State Opera and the Bolshoi. Her fame in Britain came not just from her stage appearances but from her recordings. A prolific artist, Hammond's repertoire encompassed Verdi, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Massenet, Beethoven, as well as folk song, art song, and lieder. She returned to Australia for concert tours in 1946, 1949 and 1953, and starred in the second Elizabethan Theatre Trust opera season in 1957. She undertook world concert tours between 1946 and 1961. She became patron and a life member of the Victorian Opera Company (since 1976, the Victorian State Opera – VSO), and was the VSO's artistic director from 1971 until 1976 and remained on the board until 1985. Working with the then General Manager, Peter Burch, she invited the young conductor Richard Divall to become the company's Musical Director in 1972. She joined the Victorian Council of the Arts, was a member of the Australia Council for the Arts opera advisory panel, and was an Honorary Life Member of Opera Australia. She was important to the success of both the VSO and Opera Australia. Hammond embarked on a second career as a voice teacher after her performance career ended.

Cannon University of Washington Abstract From Oldham to Oxford: The Formative Years of Sir William Walton Gary D. Cannon Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Geoffrey Boers Choral Conducting, School of Music The formative years of William Walton (1902–1983) are rarely considered when studying the composer’s life and works. However, careful study of that period indicates many of the directions that the adult Walton would take. Industrial Lancashire was more musically active during the period of Walton’s youth (covering the years 1902 to 1912) than is generally considered. His time as a chorister and later undergraduate at Christ Church, Oxford (1912 to 1920), is replete with influential interactions with talented adults and fellow students. Detailed consideration of Walton’s juvenilia reveals a keen thinker who assimilated these various influences in a unique manner.
