The events which I have attended this year have all been without exception very much enjoyed although many of them were very differing in their nature. I have “survived” the Golf Society, Rugby Club and Hockey From the President From Club dinners all of which were fantastic evenings and I would not wish to be drawn The Bates having a Ball! on which took the greatest toll on the following day. However, particular congratulations to the rugby club as the dinner on Saturday evening coincided with the first team winning pro- motion that afternoon so clearly it was a time of great celebration. In March I attended the past Presidents’ Dinner at the Club House which was a most enjoyable evening and I think an excellent format, and the right mix of formality and informality. My first Over 60s Lunch (before qualifying!) was attended by over 100 Old Silhillians and, I believe, a record number of new attendees. To listen to people’s stories on their lives between leaving school and arriving at the lunch was truly fascinating and I believe the event represents the Association at its best. I understand attendance is almost guaranteed just by announcing the lunch which surely goes to show how popular it is. Once again we held a Summer Ball in the marquee (Page 63) and my thanks to my wife Denise for her assistance with organising this and her support throughout the year. The week after the Summer Ball we had a fantastic event, first of all at School and then back at Copt Heath in the evening when we held a reunion of former female pupils, celebrating 40 years of their attend- ance at the school. My congratulations to Julia Skan and Alison Bond who with others put in so much time in organising this event (page 20). Another event which I never foresaw was one Monday morning in April when together with John Loynton I visited Sunrise at Copt Heath to meet with John Tustain and his family who, I believe, is the oldest Old Silhillian (I am sure I will be proved wrong) and had just celebrated his 100th birthday. We had an enjoyable time with him and his recollections of his time at School were truly amazing. This was particularly poignant for myself as he would have been at school with my own father and he did say that he remembered him. Can I also say that if you ever want to meet a mine of information regarding Solihull School for any period you only have to talk to John Loynton for a short while. John also brought along some old school magazines from the era and it is fascinating to read what they wrote about pupils in those days, comments that would never be allowed today! March this year also saw the London Dinner taking place once again after a gap of some 18 months at its new time in the year and proved most successful. An excellent gathering of Old Silhillians from London and the surrounding area took place at the RAF Club supported by a number of Old Silhillians from Birmingham and fantastic support from the School including the Headmaster and Chairman of Governors. Particular thanks must go to Mark Lucas for many years organising this as he now steps down. As I write this, I am organising the President’s Dinner on Saturday 23 November and I do hope to see as many as possible at the Club House at what is always a most enjoyable evening. Turning now to relations with the School, I believe these continue to be excellent and my grate- ful thanks to the Headmaster David Lloyd and Chairman of Governors, Mark Hopton for that in particular. This year has also seen a fantastic addition to the School staff, Alison Bond, the first Director of Development and Alumni Relations, who joined in January. She immediately made her presence known and has been a wonderful link between the Association and the School and her enthusiasm for helping out with organising events and preserving contact with former pupils is delightful to behold. This can only be of benefit to both the Association and the School 2 and my grateful thanks to her for all she has done. the President From I have particularly enjoyed going back to School this year to attend various events such as the Christmas Service of Nine Lessons and Carols, the Open Day in January and the Summer Concert in particular. Again, my thanks to the Headmaster and his staff for always making me feel so welcome when I am at School. The OSA office at the School continues to be staffed one afternoon per week, and having Alison Bond in the next office only goes to help with the flow of communication. Turning now to Copt Heath, we have experienced the ups and downs emotionally, first getting planning consent for the Clubhouse but not the Care Home then finally getting that too in July. The success of getting this project to where it is would not have been possible without first of all Rupert Young who must have worked morning, noon and night on it and also Andrew Clutterbuck, John Griffin, Barry Allen and Peter Davis. On this occasion, I was grateful to be a humble accountant and therefore not able to contribute to the vagaries of planning laws! In any event, we live in exciting times and can look forward to the future with great optimism and hopefully to a Club House which will be brought into the 21st century. I would of course like take this opportunity to thank everyone who has served on the commit- tee this year. Until I got involved I had no idea how much time and effort went into the affairs of the Association on just routine matters let alone when we have exceptional issues to contend with like the Clubhouse redevelopment. I believe everyone on the committee dedicates a great deal of time and effort to the future of the OSA and it is pleasing to see that this is starting to be rewarded as we go into the next year. Finally, I turn to my successor and am delighted to say that with the overwhelming support of the committee Julia Skan has been chosen as President Elect. This is clearly a milestone in the Association’s history in that she will be the first female President. After 40 years of girls at the School this is clearly not before time and some might say it is possibly overdue. In any event, I personally feel this is a fantastic development for the Association and will whole heartedly sup- port her in her role. Needless to say she has my best wishes and I am sure you would also wish to join me in wishing her a happy and successful year.

  • Historically Informed Performance
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: University of Glasgow Unit of Assessment: 35 – Music Title of case study: Original performances of Bach and Handel recreated for global contemporary audiences 1. Summary of the impact John Butt’s research has played a leading role in bringing historically informed music performance to professional and public audiences across the world. His recording of Messiah (2006) achieved critical acclaim and was presented with the Classic FM/Gramophone Baroque Vocal Album and the Marché International du Disque et de l'Edition Musicale Award. The recording also achieved commercial success for independent record producer, Linn Records with sales of over 20,000, and had a significant impact on Scotland’s leading baroque ensemble, the Dunedin Consort, with seven more recordings of works by Bach and Handel, substantial royalty income, increased funding (including new subsidies) and new touring opportunities. This success has also enabled an active education outreach programme to develop both professional training and broader public interest. 2. Underpinning research Intellectual background In 2002 John Butt (University of Glasgow Gardiner Chair of Music, 2001-present) published a major monograph on the culture of historically informed performance. Playing with History (Cambridge University Press) established many of the primary questions regarding the role of historically informed performance in contemporary culture – such as how it ties into other historical conditions and its potential to refresh many aspects of classical music culture. One of the most significant conclusions was identifying the need to use historical knowledge and experience to encourage new creative possibilities in contemporary performance, even if adopting historical parameters might suggest a restriction of performative possibilities.

ISSN 1476-4504 Downloaded from: http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/id/eprint/5210/ Usage guidelines Please refer to the usage guidelines at http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/policies.html or alternatively contact [email protected]. Radio with Pictures: Radio Visualisation in BBC National Radio Richard Berry University of Sunderland Abstract. Radio has always had pictures. The ones the listener created in their own minds and this is, most of us agree, one of the medium's greatest strengths. However, radio is increasingly consumed on a digital platform (such as DAB Radio, Digital TV, a mobile device or a computer) on devices with screens, rather than a dial. This creates a problem for radio because when we look at the device we are listening to we see a screen that often lacks rich content. The process of Radio Visualisation is about filling this space. This papers focus, though, is the other ways in which radio is visualising itself online in a process that deploys transmedia storytelling techniques that build relationships with the audience, builds brands and helps broadcasters to tell stories in ways never before possible. In the spring of 2011 2.84 million British TV viewers watched a radio programme on their Televisions. They were tuning in via interactive television (or the 'red button') services to watch the BBC Radio One breakfast presenter Chris Moyles attempt to break a world record for the longest radio programme. The BBC installed a series of fixed cameras in the programme’s regular studio at the BBC's Yalding House studios, with added 'roving' cameras to allow the presenters to broadcast from other parts of the building and a cafe across the street.

  • Bach and the Rationalist Philosophy of Wolff, Leibniz and Spinoza,” 60-71
    Chapter 1 On the Musically Theological in Bach’s Cantatas From informal Internet discussion groups to specialized aca­ demic conferences and publications, an ongoing debate has raged on whether J. S. Bach ought to be considered a purely artistic or also a religious figure.^ A recently formed but now disbanded group of scholars, the Internationale Arbeitsgemeinschaft fiir theologische Bachforschung, made up mostly of German theologians, has made significant contributions toward understanding the religious con­ texts of Bach’s liturgical music.^ These writers have not entirely captured the attention or respect of the wider world of Bach 1. For the academic side, the most influential has been Friedrich Blume, “Umrisse eines neuen Bach-Bildes,” Musica 16 (1962): 169-176, translated as “Outlines of a New Picture of Bach,” Music and Letters 44 (1963): 214-227. The most impor­ tant responses include Alfred Durr, “Zum Wandel des Bach-Bildes: Zu Friedrich Blumes Mainzer Vortrag,” Musik und Kirche 32 (1962): 145-152; see also Friedrich Blume, “Antwort von Friedrich Blume,” Musik und Kirche 32 (1962): 153-156; Friedrich Smend, “Was bleibt? Zu Friedrich Blumes Bach-Bild,” DerKirchenmusiker 13 (1962): 178-188; and Gerhard Herz, “Toward a New Image of Bach,” Bach 1, no. 4 (1970): 9-27, and Bach 2, no. 1 (1971): 7-28 (reprinted in Essays on J. S. Bach [Ann Arbor: UMI Reseach Press, 1985], 149-184). 2. For a convenient list of the group’s main publications, see Daniel R. Melamed and Michael Marissen, An Introduction to Bach Studies (New York: Oxford University Press, 1998), 15.
