MS 427 Title: Shaw Manuscripts Scope: a Collection Of University of Sheffield Library. Special Collections and Archives Ref: MS 427 Title: Shaw Manuscripts Scope: A collection of manuscript musical works composed by John W. Shaw (1927-2008) Dates: Mostly undated, but those with dates 1973-1999 Level: Fonds Extent: 3 boxes Name of creator: John W. Shaw Administrative / biographical history: The collection consists of manuscript musical works composed by John W. Shaw. John Shaw was born on New Year’s Day 1927, the youngest of four children. In his early teens, he was evacuated from a threatened area of Sheffield to Woodhouse Eaves, Leicestershire. He joined the Royal Engineers (British Forces Post Office section), serving in India and Singapore. On his return from National Service, he married Stella Frost in 1953, and settled in Grenoside, Sheffield. He worked for the Sheffield Telegraph and other local offices before training as a music teacher, being awarded a Certificate in Education with a Distinction in Music from the University of Sheffield’s Institute of Education in 1964. John Shaw then taught in a number of Sheffield comprehensive schools. With a lifelong interest in music, John Shaw played the piano and violin, and sang with the Firshill Singers, the Bach Society, the Sheffield Oratorio and the Grenoside Male Voice Choir, and was organist and choirmaster at Christ Church Wadsley Bridge and St. Mark’s Church Grenoside. He was an inspiration to all he taught, conducted and played with. Many of his compositions are dedicated to and inspired by family and friends and the events in their lives, and most have only been performed within close family and social settings. There are private recordings of some of the string quartets he composed which are kept by his family. As well as music, John Shaw was a keen and prolific artist, but never sought to sell any of his paintings. Throughout his career, he supported many international charities, including a local charity for sensory impaired children. John Shaw died in 2008.

Even the string instruments have been restored to their original design; they are strung with gut strings and are played with bows of the eighteenth century. The tone of these instruments, and also the playing technique, are distinctly different than those of modern instruments. In other words, old music sounds completely different when played on these instruments rather than on mod ern ones. It should be noted that the old instruments are in no way primitive predecessors of the technically developed modern ones. They are indeed the culmination of their type, as the price of every technical improvement was a degeneration of the tone quality.

  • Program Notes
    PROGRAM NOTES According to the writings of the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, melancholy was caused by an excess of black bile, one of the four humors. An imbalance of blood, phlegm, yellow bile, or black bile could cause disease—or even determine personality traits. Albrecht Dürer’s famously allegorical “Melencholia I” of 1514 on the program’s cover most likely portrays a morose being who is rendered idle by inspiration’s absence. But for an artist, who can imagine a more destructive affliction than waiting for ideas that just won’t come? During the 16th and 17th centuries, a curious cultural and literary cult of melancholia swept England—in music epitomized by John Dowland’s Lachrimae, or by Shakespeare’s Hamlet— although the Dane’s melancholy probably arose from his paralyzing indecision. And yet, music was considered a cure for melancholy. According to the 17th-century scholar Robert Burton, “Besides that excellent power [music] hath to expel … diseases, it is a sovereign remedy against despair and melancholy….” In any case, depressing subjects certainly stimulate composers’ quirkier ideas and sad music ofen has a cathartic effect on listeners. It is interesting to note that two of the funeral odes on this program do not rely on Christian imagery, but turn to the humanistic Greek mythology of ages past. Although little is known about Anthony Holborne’s life, he was employed by Queen Elizabeth and also admired by his contemporaries. Te esteemed John Dowland dedicated “I Saw My Lady Weepe” from his Second Booke of Songes to him. Holborne composed sixty-five dances that comprise the collection Pavans, Galliards, Almains.
