  • Robin in Context
    Robin in context Introduction Robin produced some 115 compositions, among them a symphony, a violin concerto, a ballet, a masque, an opera, two oratorios, chamber music, pieces for piano and for organ, songs and choral works, both small- and large-scale. However, in addition to being the composer’s favourite and most personal genre, the songs for solo voice and piano are Robin’s largest and most condensed genre. These compositions will now be considered here within the context of early twentieth century English music and later through critical analysis. By the time Robin commenced song composition, a school of English song was well established through the work and compositions of such ‘main’ composers as Parry, Stanford, Vaughan Williams, Gurney, Warlock and Finzi. However, in the contextualisation of Robin’s songs, other aspects need to be considered in addition to the main composers of song. These include the existence of a twentieth century English musical renaissance and its main composers; Robin’s studies at the Royal College of Music; contemporary composition students at the RCM; the ‘organ loft’ song composers; the friendship with Balfour Gardiner; and the development of music publishing, the British Broadcasting Company (subsequently, Corporation), musical education in schools and amateur music-making (including the many local musical festivals throughout the country). 1 The twentieth-century English musical renaissance Howes (1966) and Hughes/Stradling (1993) suggest and have proven the existence of a twentieth century ‘English musical renaissance’. Having argued the necessity for such a phenomenon, these writers explain its development, including a revival in the music of the Tudors and Bach, and a systematic preservation of and belief in English folksong.

  • Performing National Identity During the English Musical Renaissance in A
    Making an English Voice: Performing National Identity during the English Musical Renaissance In a 1925 article for Music & Letters entitled ‘On the Composition of English Songs’, the British musicologist Edward J. Dent urged the ‘modern English composer’ to turn serious attention to the development of ‘a real technique of song-writing’.1 As Dent underlined, ‘song-writing affects the whole style of English musical composition’, for we English are by natural temperament singers rather than instrumentalists […] If there is an English style in music it is founded firmly on vocal principles, and, indeed, I have heard Continental observers remark that our whole system of training composers is conspicuously vocal as compared with that of other countries. The man who was born with a fiddle under his chin, so conspicuous in the music of Central and Eastern Europe, hardly exists for us. Our instinct, like that of the Italians, is to sing.2 Yet, as he quickly qualified: ‘not to sing like the Italians, for climactic conditions have given us a different type of language and apparently a different type of larynx’.3 1 I am grateful to Byron Adams, Daniel M. Grimley, Alain Frogley, and Laura Tunbridge for their comments on this research. E. J. Dent, ‘On the Composition of English Songs’, Music & Letters, 6.3 (July, 1925). 2 Dent, ‘On the Composition of English Songs’, 225. 3 Dent, ‘On the Composition of English Songs’, 225. 1 With this in mind, Dent outlined a ‘style of true English singing’ to which the English song composer might turn for his ‘primary inspiration’: a voice determined essentially by ‘the rhythms and the pace of ideal English speech – that is, of poetry’, but also, a voice that told of the instinctive ‘English temperament’.

  • Your Name Here
    HERBERT HOWELLS’ SIR PATRICK SPENS: A GUIDE TO PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS by ALICIA W. WALKER (Under the Direction of Allen Crowell) ABSTRACT Sir Patrick Spens, a large-scale work for chorus, orchestra, and baritone solo, is an important example of the early music of English composer Herbert Howells (1892-1983). Although Howells’ works from the period 1915-1919 were much neglected through most of the twentieth century, the recent revival and subsequent recording of Sir Patrick Spens indicate the renewed interest in his earliest significant compositions. Standing in contrast to the body of sacred music and organ works for which the composer is best known, Sir Patrick Spens (1917) is a setting of a Scottish ballad. It is characterized by harmonies and orchestrations akin to those of Ralph Vaughan Williams, melodic gestures related to folksong, a text setting with very little repetition, and performing forces on a grander scale than Howells had previously attempted. Only in the closing measures of the work does Howells give indications of the sustained lines and thick choral textures that would become his sonic signature. Sir Patrick Spens stands thus as a significant marker on Howells’ compositional journey. It is reflective of the initial influences on his music while yielding indications of the composer he would become. The general characteristics of the vocal music of Herbert Howells include, but are not limited to, a tonal/modal harmonic structure, associations with folksong, and an inextricable link to the text. All of these are present in Sir Patrick Spens and will form the basis for analysis of the piece.

Doctoral Dissertations. 603. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/603 i Nonatonic Harmonic Structures in Symphonies by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Arnold Bax Cameron Logan, Ph.D. University of Connecticut, 2014 This study explores the pitch structures of passages within certain works by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Arnold Bax. A methodology that employs the nonatonic collection (set class 9-12) facilitates new insights into the harmonic language of symphonies by these two composers. The nonatonic collection has received only limited attention in studies of neo-Riemannian operations and transformational theory. This study seeks to go further in exploring the nonatonic‟s potential in forming transformational networks, especially those involving familiar types of seventh chords. An analysis of the entirety of Vaughan Williams‟s Fourth Symphony serves as the exemplar for these theories, and reveals that the nonatonic collection acts as a connecting thread between seemingly disparate pitch elements throughout the work. Nonatonicism is also revealed to be a significant structuring element in passages from Vaughan Williams‟s Sixth Symphony and his Sinfonia Antartica. A review of the historical context of the symphony in Great Britain shows that the need to craft a work of intellectual depth, simultaneously original and traditional, weighed heavily on the minds of British symphonists in the early twentieth century.

  • Early Music Revival
    Early music revival Hombourg, juli 2019 Prof. dr. Hans van Dijk De hernieuwde belangstelling voor de oude muziek in de negentiende en eerste helft van de twintigste eeuw in West-Europa Wat is 'oude muziek'? Om een antwoord op deze vraag te kunnen geven moet een groot aantal publicaties worden doorgenomen, waarbij dan blijkt dat de diverse auteurs allen een eigen interpretatie van dit fenomeen hebben. De een ziet alle muziek van vóór het jaar 476 (de ondergang van het West-Romeinse rijk) als 'oude' of 'antieke' muziek, de Middeleeuwen en de periode daarna als de 'nieuwere', die natuurlijk in verschillende perioden moet worden onderverdeeld; de ander ziet aan het einde van de Middeleeuwen (tweede helft 14e eeuw) een breukvlak met de 'nieuwere muziek', eveneens in verschillende perioden onder te verdelen. Een derde wil de nieuwere muziek met de Barok (± 1600) laten beginnen en ziet alles vóór het jaar 1600 als 'oud'. Uit deze verschillende opvattingen valt alleen maar te concluderen dat er geen eensluidende opvattingen mogelijk zijn. Natuurlijk speelt ook de tijd waarin de verschillende auteurs leven een rol. In de 18e eeuw was het beeld dat men had van 'oude muziek' iets geheel anders dan in de 19e of de eerste helft van de 20e eeuw. Wanneer we de geschiedenis van de herleving van de 'oude muziek' willen beschrijven geven wij er de voorkeur aan om deze te laten beginnen bij het begin van die herleving, d.w.z. in de jaren direct na het begin van de 19e eeuw en daarbij alle muziek van vóór 1800 als 'oude muziek' te zien.
