  • Granville Bantock's Letters to William Wallace and Ernest Newman, 1893-1921' ‘Our New Dawn of Modern Music'
    BARRY SMITH - REVIEW - Granville Bantock's Letters to William Wallace and Ernest Newman, 1893-1921' ‘Our new dawn of modern music' Edited by Michael Allis Boydell Press, 2017 310 pp. Recent years have seen an interesting trend in the increasing number of books delving into the music and lives of the less-celebrated British composers. Instead of the traditional biography, a listing of a composer’s works (and the obligatory critique), more and more often shadowy musical figures are having the spotlight turned on their lives, compositions and music-making via their personal correspondence. Such compilations are proving extremely useful: not only in breathing life into neglected composers and their activities, but also providing lively and vivid additions to the bigger social and historic picture. In this excellent new publication from the Boydell Press an informative 36-page Introduction sets the scene with additional short introductory paragraphs of fascinating background material to each clutch of letters selected from 1893 to 1921. All this generous information gives the reader an immediate and almost three-dimensional picture of the lives and times of numerous intriguing dramatis personæ. Although the title draws its reader particularly to the interaction between composers Granville Bantock (1868-1946), William Wallace (1860-1940) and the noted music critic, Ernest Newman (1868-1959) we also find of a panoply of others persons of the era (such as Joseph Holbrooke, 1878-1958) gliding in and out of the narrative. Thus, the collection is a veritable treasure trove for those wanting to know more of the composers, musical tastes and programming of that era of British music performance, particularly of contemporary orchestral and choral works.

    CIVIC HONOURS THE MAYOR’S MEDAL Previous recipients ABOUT THE MAYOR’S MEDAL The Mayor’s Medal is conferred annually to acknowledge outstanding voluntary contributions made by individuals, associations or groups of people in a variety of fields, including community affairs, conservation, cultural affairs, economic affairs, extraordinary bravery, recreation and sport, social affairs and services and youth affairs. 2011 CEREMONY COMMUNITY AFFAIRS The Cape of Good Hope SPCA The Cape of Good Hope SPCA is the oldest, largest and one of the most effective animal welfare organisations in South Africa. It was established in 1872. Sixteen inspectors and four animal collection officers respond to an average of 50 cases of animal cruelty and neglect per day across about 11 000 km². Meanwhile, three full-time education officers take the SPCA Ani-Pal programme to many learners each year and the community-based hospital in Grassy Park helps animals whose owners cannot afford private veterinary care. Four mobile clinics offer primary veterinary care to impoverished communities, while the horse care unit treats abused and neglected equines and re-homes them when appropriate. Full-time staff and volunteers at the animal care centre look after thousands of stray, abandoned and surrendered dogs and cats annually, finding them new homes or reuniting them with their owners. Rotary Club of Claremont The Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour and the Discovery Cape Times Big Walk are the two biggest fundraising events for the Rotary Club of Claremont.
