In celebration of the event, his Eighth Symphony will have its first Boston performances at the Friday and Saturday concerts of next week. When the Symphony had its first performance by the Halle Orchestra in Manchester under the direction of Sir John Barbi- rolli (to whom it is dedicated) on May 2, 1956, it was reviewed in the London Times by Felix Aprahamian as follows: "This genial half-hour of music will disappoint those who seek spiritual programmes or prophetic visions and utterances in his unlabelled symphonies. 'Sea,' 'London' and 'Pastoral' were explicit enough—so was 'Sinfonia Ant- arctica.' But the three intervening symphonies, the fourth, fifth and sixth, have not lacked their literary inter- preters. "Now, in such movement titles as Variazione senza tema, Scherzo alia Marcia, Cavatina and Toccata, Dr. Vaughan Williams seems determined that this D minor, or Eighth Symphony, shall not attract any extra-musical tags.

"Such anxieties were dispelled as the themeless variations of the first move- ment followed each other in well- ordered sequence, for the materia musica hj8r^ had familiar contours, and their pres- entation was not over-garish. "Three tuned gongs, 'as used in Tur- IV- ; • andot,' failed to make the cheerfully // noisy final Toccata sound anything like Puccini; nor was it possible to recognise as 'a sinister exordium' anything so brightly scored as the finale's opening phrase. The Toccata soon proved its kinship with 'Let all the world in every corner sing' and the Benedicite, its un- mistakable precursors. "From first to last, every bar of this admirable transparent score bears the hall-mark 'R.V.W.' This eighth sym- phony may well become the most loved wew and popular of the series."

Old Colony suggested he use part of the principal to set up a trust for his children, thereby lowering his own income tax, and reducing the inheritance tax his children would have to pay. Helping you to get all the tax savings to which you are entitled is always a pleasant task for Old Colony's officers. You and your lawyer are invited to talk with them. The financial wisdom — and human understanding — that you find at Old Colony can help you in all phases of your estate planning. You're invited to write for the free booklet, "Wills and Trusts."

  • The Modernisation of Wind Playing in London Orchestras, 1909–1939: A
    The modernisation of wind playing in London orchestras, 1909–1939: A study of playing style in early orchestral recordings Emily Claire Worthington PhD University of York Department of Music April 2013 2 3 Abstract This is a study of performing styles among wind players in London orchestras during the period 1909–1939. Existing scholarship relating to orchestral performance in London in the early twentieth century perpetuates the notion that playing standards were, at best, unreliable until the establishment of contracted orchestras in the 1930s. In addition, existing studies of wind playing in orchestral recordings pre-1930 suggest that a plain style prevailed, with little use of vibrato or tonal flexibility, until the French woodwind schools began to influence British practices in the late 1930s. Three London orchestras are considered through a combination of archival research and recording analysis. A case study of the New Symphony Orchestra (1905–1930) challenges the notion that pre-1930 London orchestras were ill-disciplined and lacking in corporate identity. The NSO’s recordings document a hyper-expressive performance style founded on the use of temporal flexibility, which bears relation to styles observed among pianists, singers and string players of the period. Attention then turns to London’s first ‘permanent’ orchestras, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and London Philharmonic Orchestra. Documentary evidence shows that the two ensembles were established to fulfill two very different ideals of orchestral performance and musical aesthetic. Comparison of the orchestras’ recordings is used to establish how this led to the emergence of two contrasting styles of playing in their wind sections, both of which nonetheless represented a move away from the style of the NSO.

Michael Brocken. Farnham, UK: Ashgate, 2015. vii + 236 pp. ISBN 978-1-4724-3399-2 (hardcover). While there is no shortage of Beatles-related scholarship, there are few, if any, book-length studies of Beatles-related tourism. Michael Brocken’s The Twenty-First-Century Legacy of The Beatles: Liverpool and Popular Music Heritage Tourism aims to fill this gap by weaving together three threads: (1) a history of Liverpool that focuses on its musical spaces, tourism, and economy; (2) a theoretical justification of the study of musical tourism; and (3) reports on ethnographic studies of tourist experiences. These three threads provide varying degrees of insight. Most illuminating are the passages on Liverpool’s history. As a native resident, the author has easy access to interviews with locals, and the information they provide reveals facets of the city’s relation to the Beatles that other biographies often overlook.
