  • Individual and Institution in the Musical Life of Leeds 1900-1914
    Individual and Institution in the Musical Life of Leeds 1900-1914 Robert Demaine Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of York Department of Music July 2000 Abstract In the years immediately before the First World War the city of Leeds enjoyed a rich and diverse musical life which has remained largely unchronicled thanks in part to an emphasis on London in much English musical history. This thesis attempts to redress the balance by charting the development of local institutions in the fields of choral, orchestral and chamber music which were created by the industry and dedication of a small number of outstanding individuals, now long-forgotten, whose efforts in the cause of Leeds music are placed within their social and historical context. The influence of the Leeds Triennial Festival, that cornerstone of the city's musical reputation in the latter half of the nineteenth century, is considered along with the work of the two leading choral societies which dominated so much of Leeds musical life at the time. Pioneering enterprises, such as those to establish a permanent municipal orchestra in the city and a regular series for the performance of contemporary chamber music, are examined in detail against the backdrop of a society undergoing fundamental change. It is often assumed that the First World War brought a violent and sudden end to what might be viewed as a golden age in English music. This thesis will show how the forces of change were already being experienced within local musical institutions which were attempting to come to terms with them even as the apocalyptic events of 1914 were approaching.

    presents THE HEADINGLEY POSTIE A storybook about Headingley Rosie. Photo: Lizzie Coombes Chris and Caribel. Photo: Lizzie Coombes Gerry. Photo: Lizzie Coombes Nathan. Photo: Lizzie Coombes THE HEADINGLEY POSTIE Whether the weather is sunny or chill, The Headingley Postie rides over the hill, And into the suburb that she likes the most, To deliver her bag full of Headingley post, And as she distributes the Headingley mail, She’ll often pick up a few Headingley tales – Tales to astonish and tales to astound – Told by the people she meets on her round. 1 I first came to live in Headingley over 50 years ago, and spent the early years pushing“ a pram with baby and toddlers around the local shops: butcher, baker, Cowley’s the greengrocer, Groocock’s the upmarket grocer, with the occasional luxury of a coffee in Silvio’s café or a browse in Walker’s bookshop. Headingley became my familiar and much-loved home ground and long years later, after retirement from teaching and the Open University, I discovered the pleasure of finding out about its past, exploring its hidden corners and hearing the stories and memories of some of the people who had lived all their lives there. Joining the Thoresby historical society gave me access to a wonderful resource of maps, books, and pictures to help with research, together with other local archives. I started working on the history of our home in Woodbine Terrace (off Grove Lane) and that led on inevitably to an exploration of the history of the streets around and the village itself.
