Of interest is the case of the comic operas where the composer uses parody and allusion to create a persuasive counterpart to the libretto. The thesis attempts to place Sullivan in the context of his time, the conditions under which he worked and to give due weight to the fact that economic necessity often required him to meet the demands of the market.

    doi: https://doi.org/10.26493/978-961-7055-86-3.87-104 In the Shadow of Parry, Stanford and Mackenzie: Musical Composition studies in the principal London Conservatories from 1918 to 1945 Niall O’Loughlin Univerza v Loughboroughu Loughborough University In the early 20th century, the main British music institutions, which at- tracted the attention of prospective composers, were the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music, both located in London. What is particularly notable is that the early principals of the Royal Academy were almost always prominent composers and the directors of the Royal College were very often composers, too. The history of the founding and the back- ground of these two conservatories gives some understanding of their po- sition and standing by the end of World War I. In the early 1820s patriotic amateurs promoted ideas for the founda- tion of a Royal Academy of Music, but this was initially opposed by the mu- sic profession, which felt that there were too many musicians anyway. The professionals then tried unsuccessfully to associate the proposed academy with the long-standing Philharmonic Society, which later commissioned Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony during the same period. In the end the am- ateurs, principally John Fane, eleventh Earl of Westmorland (also known as Lord Berghersh) with assistance of royalty, notably King George IV, suc- ceeded in establishing the Academy of Music in 1822 in London, the first of the British conservatories, receiving its royal charter in 1830 to become the Royal Academy of Music. To create a strong credibility for the institution the founders needed to appoint a distinguished principal, although the choice was perhaps not that difficult.

  • From Hedhelinge to Healing
    From Heghelinge to Healing Healing Manor A Village History Edited by John Appleby From Hegh to Healing A Village History E d ite d b y John Appleby Introduction Healing is situated to the north of Grimsby between the Lincolnshire Wolds and the River Humber. The medieval core of the village, the church and the Manor House, are situated on a mound now surrounded by fields and apparently isolated from the twentieth century settlement some 800 metres to the south east. The population of the village, before this century, hovered around one hundred, and indeed during this period may well have declined from its Domesday Estimate of 126 people. It was sometimes omitted from the 18th and 19th century maps of Lincolnshire. The various springs which emanate from the edge of the above mentioned clay mound afford the only item of interest for most descriptions of the village. “Healing Wells” are associated with folklore and, some have written, with the place name of the village. Today, most county guide books, and indeed local estate agents, would describe the village of Healing, as a dormitory village, housing a transient population, the majority of whom are employed in Grimsby or by the factories situated on the Humber Bank. It was therefore with some trepidation that a group of inhabitants of Healing undertook the task of writing a village history. Local historians warned that a closed village such as Healing may not be well documented, and that we should be prepared for disappointments. Thus forewarned “The History of Healing” group was formed in January 1989 at the home of Dr.

  • It Is by No Means Surprising That the Piano Music of Anton Bruckner Is
    t is by no means surprising that the piano music of Anton Bruckner is generally unknown to a broader public, as the name of Bruckner is synonymous with masterly compositions in Ithe fields of symphonic music and church music. Yet a knowledge of Bruckner’s piano com- positions offers, apart from the purely musical-acoustical approach, numerous opportunities for coming to grips in the most varied of terms with the art of a composer who so polarizes the musical world. Reference to musical models and different compositional techniques, the appear- ance of emotional states and mental conditions, as well as the recognition of the circumstances in which these compositions arose, can help to fill out our image of Bruckner’s personality and to clarify his musical evolution. When we examine Bruckner’s original compositions for the piano, which were produced between the years 1850 and 1868, our interest is initially aroused by the miniature forms – romantic piano pieces, especially ‘lyric piano pieces’, character pieces and ‘songs without words’ – though we should also bear in mind where the pieces were composed, i.e. the monas- tery of St. Florian and the cathedral city of Linz. In September 1845 Bruckner signed a contract of employment with the Seminary and Mar- ket School of St. Florian, thereby returning to the school that he had attended as a boy chorister. He taught at the school for a decade, first as an assistant teacher and later as an upper-school teacher. From 1850 he also served provisionally as the monastery’s organist. Although, in addi- tion to his duties at school, Bruckner also taught the boy choristers singing and violin, he still found time to give private lessons to his piano pupils.
