Lewisham Archives Catalogue 1997– 2002 Lewisham Archives Catalogue 1997 – 2002 This catalogue was created by the Local History and Archives Centre [LHAC] staff and is a catalogue of the Archives material held at the Local History and Archives Centre. It is an incomplete list of the catalogue, which is being added to constantly, this document will change as new material is created, so please check back to see new additions. For additional listing about 25% more of the catalogue [which will be added to this document in the future] see the A2A website at www.a2a.org.uk. To search the catalogue use the search function in the PDF viewer. Please note this list is of archival material, and access to this material is different from Local History Library material. This is because the items are unique and need to be preserved. If you require access to this material please contact the LHAC and arrange an appointment, quoting the reference numbers of the items you require. We cannot produce whole collections or large amounts of material without prior appointment. Only a member of the Archives staff can produce archives; please check the availability of this material and that a member of Archives staff is available before visiting. On some late nights, staff breaks, lunchtimes and Saturday it may not be possible to produce archival material because no Archives staff are available, so contact LHAC before visiting. Unfit for Production If an item is marked ‘Unfit for Production’ this means it is fragile or damaged and it cannot be produced. But LHAC staff may be able to access the document and extract the information, or a copy of the document may exist. Please contact LHAC and see how we can help you access the material. This may not be possible if the material is very badly damaged and no copy exists. Restricted access Some collections are marked ‘restricted access; contact the LHAC’. These are collections that are not fully listed. We will try and provide access, but extra security measures will apply and they may require time to prepare. Time is needed to assess and make the material available and a member of Archives staff will advise you as to time this will take. Large collections may be too large to produce but a member of staff may be able to check the material for you and provide information.

Wilkinson Accompanist: Angela Lloyd-Mostyn Conductor Emeritus: John Bethell MBE Librarian: Tricia Golden / Janeane Taylor Ticket Sec.: Margaret Hallam Patrons’ Sec.: Sylvia Andrew Uniform Co-ordination: Val Dawson Webmaster: David Baird Concert Manager: Gerard Marsden Promotions Group: David Baird, Edna Gill, Margaret Hood, Fred Jones, Maggs Martin, Sue Morris, June O’Grady, Brenda Roberts, LIFE MEMBERS Eva Dale, Fred Jones, Margaret Hood, Alan Mellor, Nancy Murphy, Peter Quan, Eric Youd A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR One of the joys of being in a choir is that from time to time you get to sing your favourite work. That is my pleasure this evening. I have loved the "Messiah" for many years (not saying how many!). To my mind it is a pity that it is usually confined to the busy period of Christmas, so I am particularly pleased to have a Lenten performance. The emotion and drama of the Easter story are something quite special, and deserve to be savoured. Our wonderful soloists and the East Lancs Sinfonia will, I am sure, join with the choir to produce a magical musical experience. We will not be having our usual lighter-themed concert at Middleton Arena this year. Instead we will be holding a Choir "At Home" evening on Friday, 16th June in our regular rehearsal venue - the beautiful Ballroom of Chadderton Town Hall, from 7.30 to 10.30pm. You are invited to join us for a short concert, followed by some time for social and fund-raising activities.

  • Newsletter Wednesday 10Th March 2021
    Winchester City Festival Choir NEWSLETTER WEDNESDAY 10TH MARCH 2021 Welcome to another edition of ramblings from the conductor! I hope the newsletter continues to find you well. When Vaughan Williams met Shakespeare I think Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 – 1958) has the accolade of being the composer to gett the most mentions in these newsletters! I make no apology for this, or for bringing his music to your attention again this week! I’m going secular for a change, and focusing on some of his music which uses the words of William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616). I’m going slightly off track this week as the first piece isn’t technically written for a choir, so it isn’t choral, but it could be… and is often sung by choirs with four soloists. Before we get to our first piece of music, a little history of the English conductor Sir Henry Wood (1869 – 1944), best known for his association with London's annual series of promenade concerts, known as the Proms. Indeed, it has been said that Henry Wood made the Proms and the Proms made Henry Wood! Wood studied at the Royal Academy of Music and at first seems to have intended a career as a composer, but his conducting abilities were to win out, particularly from 1895 when still only 26, he assumed the conductorship of a new series of Promenade Concerts to be given at the recently built Queen’s Hall in Langham Place. Nobody would have guessed that the series would survive two world wars and (hopefully) a pandemic! That it did was testament to Henry Wood’s devotion and sheer hard work over a 50-year period.

  • Roger Quilter
    ROGER QUILTER 1877-1953 HIS LIFE, TIMES AND MUSIC by VALERIE GAIL LANGFIELD A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Music School of Humanities The University of Birmingham February 2004 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT Roger Quilter is best known for his elegant and refined songs, which are rooted in late Victorian parlour-song, and are staples of the English artsong repertoire. This thesis has two aims: to explore his output beyond the canon of about twenty-five songs which overshadows the rest of his work; and to counter an often disparaging view of his music, arising from his refusal to work in large-scale forms, the polished assurance of his work, and his education other than in an English musical establishment. These aims are achieved by presenting biographical material, which places him in his social and musical context as a wealthy, upper-class, Edwardian gentleman composer, followed by an examination of his music. Various aspects of his solo and partsong œuvre are considered; his incidental music for the play Where the Rainbow Ends and its contribution to the play’s West End success are examined fully; a chapter on his light opera sheds light on his collaborative working practices, and traces the development of the several versions of the work; and his piano, instrumental and orchestral works are discussed within their function as light music.

  • Elgar's the Dream of Gerontius
    Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius - Some personal observations on recordings of the work by John Quinn Updated 2020 This article originally appeared on MusicWeb in 2007 in connection with the 150th anniversary of the birth of Elgar and I updated it in 2014 when we marked the 80th anniversary of the death of the composer in 1934. The release in 2018 of a newly-issued 1961 live recording conducted by Sir Malcolm Sargent caused me to refer to our Masterworks Index for Gerontius whereupon I discovered, slightly to my surprise, that since my 2014 update this was the fifth recording of the work to be issued – although only two of them were brand new. In addition, I’d caught up with two earlier recordings – conducted by Sir Alexander Gibson and by Yevgeny Svetlanov – to which I’d referred in the survey though I’d not heard them. Time, then, to refresh the survey in order to include these seven recordings. For this latest 2020 revision I toyed with the idea of a fundamental re-write, considering all the recordings in chronological order. However, on reflection it seems to make more sense to retain the layout of the 2014 text and to add comments about the seven recordings not previously covered by the survey in a new section just before the summary. I have made as few changes as possible to my original 2007 text because that included detailed comments on several versions that hadn’t, at least then, been reviewed on MusicWeb International whereas the more recently released recordings have generally received full reviews at the time of issue.

The minimum bids have been kept very low, considering the scarcity of some items and the cost of others which still might be in print. While bargains are indeed possible, I’d suggest, as usual, to bid realistically for those items of particular interest. Bids of any amount are, of course, welcomed.
