  • Lionel Tertis, York Bowen, and the Rise of the Viola
    THE VIOLA MUSIC OF YORK BOWEN: LIONEL TERTIS, YORK BOWEN, AND THE RISE OF THE VIOLA IN EARLY TWENTIETH-CENTURY ENGLAND A THESIS IN Musicology Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC by WILLIAM KENTON LANIER B.A., Thomas Edison State University, 2009 Kansas City, Missouri 2020 © 2020 WILLIAM KENTON LANIER ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE VIOLA MUSIC OF YORK BOWEN: LIONEL TERTIS, YORK BOWEN, AND THE RISE OF THE VIOLA IN EARLY TWENTIETH-CENTURY ENGLAND William Kenton Lanier, Candidate for the Master of Music Degree in Musicology University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2020 ABSTRACT The viola owes its current reputation largely to the tireless efforts of Lionel Tertis (1876-1975), who, perhaps more than any other individual, brought the viola to light as a solo instrument. Prior to the twentieth century, numerous composers are known to have played the viola, and some even preferred it, but none possessed the drive or saw the necessity to establish it as an equal solo counterpart to the violin or cello. Likewise, no performer before Tertis had established themselves as a renowned exponent of the viola. Tertis made it his life’s work to bring the viola to the fore, and his musical prowess and technical ability on the instrument gave him the tools to succeed. Tertis was primarily a performer, thus collaboration with composers also comprised a necessary element of his viola crusade. He commissioned works from several British composers, including one of the first and most prolific composers for the viola, York Bowen (1884-1961).

  • Defining the Nation and Confining the Musician: the Case of Irish Traditional Music
    Defining the Nation and Confining the Musician: The Case of Irish Traditional Music HELEN O'SHEA When a Swedish company performs The Magic Flute , or a children’s orchestra from Venezuela plays a Vivaldi concerto, or a Japanese soprano sings Schubert, audiences pay little attention to the correspondence or otherwise between the performer’s nationality and that of the composer, even when the music they play is linked to nationality, as in versions of German Volkslieder . When a French musician plays the kora or a Swede sings rai , however, these performances are more likely to be evaluated in terms of the musicians’ nationality or ethnicity. In world music scenes, in particular, authenticity is defined as much by the ethnicity and nationality of the performers as it is by the faithfulness of their performance to earlier models and masters. These comparisons from the differing scenes of art music and world music provide a starting point for challenging assumptions that music “of the people,” whether it is performed by tradition bearers, world music enthusiasts, or Western art musicians, inevitably expresses the collective character of that people. In what follows I use a well-known song to exemplify the processes by which meanings become attached to musical texts. I hope to demonstrate that such meanings do not inhere in the musical texts themselves but in the discourses within which they are retrieved, revised, performed, and received, as well as in the literary texts (lyrics) with which they are linked. Using the case of Irish traditional music, I demonstrate some of the ways in which musical texts may acquire an affective language and a gendered discourse based on colonial stereotypes, and how the values embedded in these discourses may be inverted within anti-colonial movements.

  • Percy Grainger (8 July 1882 – 20 February 1961) Was an Australian-Born Composer, Arranger and Pianist
    Percy Grainger (8 July 1882 – 20 February 1961) was an Australian-born composer, arranger and pianist. In the course of a long and innovative career he played a prominent role in the revival of interest in British folk music in the early years of the 20th century. He also made many adaptations of other composers' works. Although much of his work was experimental and unusual, the piece with which he is most generally associated is his piano arrangement of the folk-dance tune "Country Gardens". Irish Tune from County Derry (or Londonderry Air) is an air that originated from County Londonderry in Ireland. It is popular among the Irish diaspora and is very well known throughout the world. The tune is played as the victory anthem of Northern Ireland at the Commonwealth Games. "Danny Boy" is a popular set of lyrics to the tune. The title of the air comes from the name of the county in Northern Ireland. The air was collected by Jane Ross of Limavady. The descendants of blind fiddler Jimmy McCurry assert that he is the musician from whom she transcribed the tune but there is no historical evidence to support this speculation. A similar claim is made that the tune came to the blind itinerant harpist Rory O'Cahan in a dream. Miss Ross submitted the tune to music collector George Petrie, and it was then published by the Society for the Preservation and Publication of the Melodies of Ireland in the 1855 book The Ancient Music of Ireland, which Petrie edited. The tune was listed as an anonymous air, with a note attributing its collection to Jane Ross of Londonderry.

    ACEI working paper series RESEARCHING SONG TITLES, PRODUCT CYCLES AND COPYRIGHT IN PUBLISHED MUSIC: PROBLEMS, RESULTS AND DATA SOURCES Ruth Towse Hyojung Sun AWP-06-2016 Date: June 2016 1 Researching song titles, product cycles and copyright in published music: problems, results and data sources Ruth Towse CIPPM, Bournemouth University and CREATe (University of Glasgow) [email protected] with research by Hyojung Sun CIPPM, Bournemouth University and University of Edinburgh hyojung Sun <[email protected]> Abstract The purpose of this Working Paper is to pass on our experience of research on song titles and product cycles in UK music publishing which was intended to provide evidence of the impact of copyright in a market. The Working Paper relates to the article ‘Economics of Music Publishing: Copyright and the Market’, published in the Journal of Cultural Economics, 2016. The context of the research was a project on copyright and business models in music publishing that was part of the AHRC funded project: the ‘Economic Survival in a Long Established Creative Industry: Strategies, Business Models and Copyright in Music Publishing’. By collecting data on the product cycles of a sample of long-lasting song titles and trying to establish changes in the product cycle as the copyright regime changed we had hoped to produce empirical evidence on the effect changes in the copyright regime, such as term extension, or to those in copyright management organisations. For a variety of reasons, this proved impossible to do (at least in the UK) and the Working Paper explains what we think were the reasons.

I would like to extend my congratulations to the organisers and many artists involved in tonight’s Gala Concert, Irish Culture in Britain: A Centenary Celebration. If it is in the shadow of each other we live, it is in the cultural space we celebrate our heritage of words and music, a heritage in which we are both intertwined. As we commemorate the courage, dignity and ideals that characterised the events and people of 1916, we also celebrate the depth of connection between Ireland and Britain. Tonight you celebrate not only the rich cultural tradition across these islands, but also its contemporary expression, our new imaginings, and the many creative ways to sustain the artistic work that will form the next chapter of our shared story. Sabina and I would like to thank and congratulate all of those involved in tonight’s performance for their dedication and hard work in bringing about such a special evening, and in particular to John Gilhooly, who has made such an important contribution to the Ireland 2016 centenary programme. I wish to also congratulate Ann Murray on the presentation of the Wigmore Medal, in recognition of her significant international career.

    COMPLETE NATIONAL ANTHEMS OF THE WORLD: 2013 EDITION ORCHESTRATED BY PETER BREINER SLOVAK RADIO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA • SLOVAK STATE PHILHARMONIC, KOŠICE* PETER BREINER, CONDUCTOR When I started arranging and recording national anthems some 17 years ago, nobody expected the project would become so big and popular. In the meantime, it has been an important part of two Summer Olympics and numerous other sporting, cultural and social events. It’s hard to imagine the amount of time and work that has been invested into this endeavour, and it could not have been done without the incredible efforts and expertise of several anthem experts, all the musicians, but mainly without the extraordinary recording team that has been involved in this project from its beginning – sound engineer Otto Nopp and Ladislav Krajcovic. This is an extraordinary project and any other existing anthem collection does not come close, in completeness, quality of the research or the size of the orchestral forces used. Every time this album is updated and released, the reactions are always overwhelming - from uncountable press articles and radio/TV shows all the way to special archbishops’ blessings. I hope this latest version, with its unprecedented number of anthems, will be no less appreciated. Peter Breiner National anthems tell the story of the country, its hopes, its dreams, its goals, its struggles and its history. To learn a country’s national anthem is to get a deeper knowledge of the country, and knowledge of other nations is the first step towards cooperation and understanding between peoples. National anthems, as we know them today, started in Europe as praises to the ruler.

  • All About Northern Ireland
    All about Northern Ireland 1 Geography Northern Ireland is composed of 26 districts, derived from the boroughs of Belfast and Londonderry and the counties of Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry, and Tyrone. Together they are commonly called Ulster, though the territory does not include the entire ancient province of Ulster. It is Basic Facts slightly larger than Connecticut. Northern Ireland is one of the four countries of the United Kingdom. Situated in the north- east of the island of Ireland, it shares a border with the Republic of Ireland to the south and west. At the time of the 2001 UK Census, its population was 1,685,000, constituting about 30% of the island's total population and about 3% of the population of the United Kingdom. It was created as a distinct division of the United Kingdom on 3 May 1921 under the Government of Ireland Act 1920, though its constitutional roots lie in the 1800 Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland. For over 50 years it had its own devolved government and parliament. The official languages in Northern Ireland are English, Irish and Ulster Scots. The capital and also the largest city is Belfast which is the fourteenth largest city in the United Kingdom and second largest on the island of Ireland. 2 People Capital city Northern Irish people or people of Historically, Belfast has been a centre Northern Ireland are "all persons for the Irish linen industry (earning born in Northern Ireland and having, the nickname "Linenopolis"), tobacco at the time of their birth, at least one production, rope-making and parent who is a British citizen, an Irish shipbuilding: the city's main citizen or is otherwise entitled to shipbuilders, Harland and Wolff, which reside in Northern Ireland without any built the well-known RMS Titanic, restriction on their period of propelled Belfast on to the global stage residence,"[ by joint agreement of the in the early 20th century as the biggest British and Irish Governments.

  • United Kingdom National Anthems Comprehension
    United Kingdom National Anthems Comprehension The National Anthem of the United Kingdom is God Save the Queen. The United Kingdom is made up of four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. All of these countries sing God Save the Queen as their official national anthem. It was first performed in 1745. Sometimes, these countries want to sing a national song for their country only. God Save the Queen God save our gracious Queen! Long live our noble Queen! God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the Queen. The national song of England is called Jerusalem. The composer Hubert Parry set the short poem ‘And did those feet in ancient time’ by William Blake to his own melody. Jerusalem was written in the Victorian times in the middle of the industrial revolution, a time when many factories were being built and cities were crowded. The words of the song remind people of the beauty of nature and the countryside. It is considered to be England's most popular patriotic song. Jerusalem Bring me my bow of burning gold! And did those feet in ancient time Bring me my arrows of desire! Walk upon England's mountain green? Bring me my spear! And was the holy Lamb of God O clouds, unfold! On England's pleasant Bring me my chariot of fire! pastures seen? I will not cease from mental fight, And did the countenance divine Nor shall my sword sleep in Shine forth upon our clouded hills? my hand, And was Jerusalem builded here Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and In England's green and pleasant land.
