  • Second Sunday of Lent – 8Th March 2020
    1 Music Notes: Second Sunday of Lent – 8th March 2020 The mass setting at the Solemn Eucharist this week is the Missa Brevis by William Walton (1920–1983). This piece was the result of a commission from the Friends of Coventry Cathedral in 1965, and was first performed there in 1966. The commission came just three years after the Cathedral had first opened in May 1962, having been built alongside the ruins of the bombed-out 14th century church that was destroyed in the Second World War. At the end of May 1962, the War Requiem by Benjamin Britten (1913–1976) was premiered there. Its fruition was the result of another commission by the cathedral for a work to mark the consecration of the new building designed by the architect Basil Spence. Michael Tippett (1905–1998) had also been commissioned to provide a work for the arts festival associated with the consecration, and he provided the opera King Priam. So, there was commissioning fever in the air, and William Walton was certainly a key British composer who could rank alongside Britten and Tippett. In fact, he was really rather jealous of Britten’s success and resented his seemingly easy access to the upper echelons of the British establishment. He believed that this was the result of a gay cabal from which resolutely heterosexual composers such as he were unreasonably excluded, all the more unfair, he thought, as the members of his tribe were surely the ‘normal’ ones. (This is a reasonably accurate paraphrase of several comments he made.) Coventry Cathedral was, as a result of the War Requiem, inextricably connected with Britten, so one can just imagine what he felt when he was approached just three years later to provide a work of his own.

  • From Oldham to Oxford: the Formative Years of Sir William Walton
    From Oldham to Oxford: The Formative Years of Sir William Walton Gary D. Cannon A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Geoffrey P. Boers, Chair Abraham Kaplan Giselle E. Wyers Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Music © Copyright 2014 Gary D. 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. Far more than merely a springboard for a future talent, these years resulted in inspired works and a firm purpose for the budding composer.

  • 'The Meretricious Charms of Melody'?
    ‘The meretricious charms of melody’? On Late Victorian Settings of the Nicene Creed PAUL RODMELL In the late summer and early autumn of 1889 a protracted and fractious debate occu- pied the readers of the journal, The Musical World. At its heart was an argument as to how composers of that time should set the Nicene Creed for use in the Anglican Communion service; the chief protagonists were Frederick Harford, a Minor Canon of Westminster Abbey, and Charles Stanford, one of the United Kingdom’s most highly regarded composers.1 By the end of the debate, even senior members of the Anglican Church, up to the Archbishop of Canterbury, had been drawn into the argument. The debate’s origins lay in two letters from Harford in which he gave detailed guidelines concerning the theological meanings, and grammatical and syntactical constructions of the Creed which, he suggested, should guide composers. Well-meaning as Harford’s intentions were, his highly didactic approach was not universally welcomed. But the debate provides a stimulus for an examination of word-setting in representative examples of one of the most important texts in Christian belief in the context of the late Victorian Anglican Church, and invites an appraisal of the extent to which church composers of the time and, most particularly, Stanford himself, considered the meanings and structures of texts they set on a routine basis. The episode also sheds more light on the contemporaneous politics of music and the dynamics of the relation- ship between clergy and the increasingly professionalized and confident musicians they employed, at a time when a heightened awareness of music’s importance within the liturgy, both in terms of religious edification and social status, was prevalent.

  • The Organs and Organists of Ely Cathedral to the Effect That He Held the Degree of Mus.D
    The Organs and Organists of Ely Cathedral by Nicholas Thistlethwaite with an Appendix on the Organists by Watkins Shaw Original line drawing of the Gilbert Scott case - John Maddison I From the earliest times to 1644 We shall probably never know the date of Ely's first organ, its location, or the precise use to which it was put. However, Ely's links with Winchester, and its status as a Benedictine house after Aethelwold's refoundation in 970, encourage the thought that there may have been an organ in the minster before the Norman Conquest. Benedictine monasticism was instrumental in developing the technology of organs, clocks and other mechanical apparatus, and its products were disseminated throughout western Christendom through the network of Benedictine monasteries. The Old Minster at Winchester had a remarkable organ built (or perhaps enlarged) c990. Knowing, as we do, that other Saxon monastic churches possessed organs, and that an organ was used at the dedication of nearby Ramsey in 991, it is a not unreasonable conjecture that Ely would have acquired an organ by a similar date. What were these early organa? That they had bellows to raise a supply of wind, a wooden chest to support the pipes, and a set of levers to admit wind to the pipes, thus causing them to sound, is all that can be said with any confidence. Perhaps they were used as signalling devices (like bells) or to enrich the liturgy at the great festivals. There was certainly no question of them being used as accompanimental instruments at this early date - both mechanism and sound would have been too crude for that.
