  • A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company
    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.

  • Percy Grainger, Frederick Delius and the 1914–1934 American ‘Delius Campaign’
    ‘The Art-Twins of Our Timestretch’: Percy Grainger, Frederick Delius and the 1914–1934 American ‘Delius Campaign’ Catherine Sarah Kirby Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Music (Musicology) April 2015 Melbourne Conservatorium of Music The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper Abstract This thesis explores Percy Grainger’s promotion of the music of Frederick Delius in the United States of America between his arrival in New York in 1914 and Delius’s death in 1934. Grainger’s ‘Delius campaign’—the title he gave to his work on behalf of Delius— involved lectures, articles, interviews and performances as both a pianist and conductor. Through this, Grainger was responsible for a number of noteworthy American Delius premieres. He also helped to disseminate Delius’s music by his work as a teacher, and through contact with publishers, conductors and the press. In this thesis I will examine this campaign and the critical reception of its resulting performances, and question the extent to which Grainger’s tireless promotion affected the reception of Delius’s music in the USA. To give context to this campaign, Chapter One outlines the relationship, both personal and compositional, between Delius and Grainger. This is done through analysis of their correspondence, as well as much of Grainger’s broader and autobiographical writings. This chapter also considers the relationship between Grainger, Delius and others musicians within their circle, and explores the extent of their influence upon each other. Chapter Two examines in detail the many elements that made up the ‘Delius campaign’.

  • Patronage Through Dissemination: Louise Hanson-Dyer’S Patronage of Gustav Holst
    2012 © Daniela Kaleva, Context 37 (2012): 77–91. Patronage through Dissemination: Louise Hanson-Dyer’s Patronage of Gustav Holst Daniela Kaleva Gustav Holst has a reputation as one of the most prominent representatives of the English national school of composition from the early decades of the twentieth century. His compositional language was highly original and was influenced by English folk song and Eastern philosophy. Although Holst composed works in a wide range of genres, he is best known for his orchestral suite The Planets. Notwithstanding the great public acclaim of The Planets (which premiered at Queen’s Hall, London, on 15 November 1920),1 his later compositions were less successful with both audiences and critics,2 and he underwent several difficult periods during which he lacked motivation and inspiration for composition. During the last decade of his life, when his popularity was fading, he benefited from the patronage and friendship of Melbourne-born patron and music publisher Louise Hanson-Dyer (see Fig. 1). Hanson-Dyer is known for her award-winning music press and record label Éditions de l’Oiseau-Lyre, established in Paris in 1932, which championed early music, contemporary classical music and young musicians. Although Hanson-Dyer did not engage in direct patronage of Holst by providing funding, or commissioning or publishing his works,5 she nevertheless played an important role in promoting his music in Australia 1 Imogen Holst, A Thematic Catalogue of Gustav Holst’s Music (London: Faber Music, 1974), 125. 2 Michael Short, Gustav Holst: The Man and his Music (Oxford: OUP, 1990), esp. 161, 170, 190.
