Ina Boyle inhabits a unique space in twentieth-century music in Ireland as the first resident Irishwoman to write a symphony. If her name conjures any recollection at all to scholars of British music, it is most likely in connection to Vaughan Williams, whom she studied with privately, or in relation to some of her friends and close acquaintances such as Elizabeth Maconchy, Grace Williams, and Anne Macnaghten. While the appearance of a biography may seem somewhat surprising at first glance, for those more aware of the growing interest in Boyle’s music in recent years, it was only a matter of time for her life and music to receive a more detailed and thorough examination.

Although her father, the Bishop of Gloucester, had little interest in music, her mother supported and encouraged her engagement with music. First taking lessons from the cathedral organist Samuel Wesley at the age of twelve, she then studied piano at the Royal Academy of Music under the guidance of Frederick Westlake. It was around this time that she also began singing, subsequently making appearances as a soprano at various events, including the Three Choirs Festival.

  • W.W. Cobbett's Phantasy: a Legacy of Chamber Music in the British Musical Renaissance
    HODGES, BETSI, D.M.A. W. W. Cobbett’s Phantasy: A Legacy of Chamber Music in the British Musical Renaissance. (2008) Directed by Dr. Andrew Harley. 73 pp. The purpose of this dissertation is to determine the role that Walter Willson Cobbett (1847-1937) played in the British Musical Renaissance by his initiation of a series of chamber music competitions, beginning in 1905, each of which required the composition of a phantasy. The phantasy was Cobbett’s reinvention of an older genre, the fancy, or fantasia, which had been popular in sixteenth- and seventeenth- century England. A vast number of new British chamber compositions was generated from these competitions. After examining the events of Cobbett’s life that contributed to his involvement and passion for music, the paper discusses some of the events and issues that caused England to experience a musical renaissance. This leads to a discussion of the history of the fancy in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Cobbett’s reinvention of the genre and some of the reactions to it are subsequently examined. The competitions themselves are presented in great detail with the results and descriptions and/or reviews of some of the winning compositions. Other important contributions of Cobbett are shown, such as his eleven commissions for phantasies, his sponsorship of prizes at the Royal College of Music, and the endowed medal for services to chamber music issued each year by the Worshipful Company of Musicians. Concluding statements portray the lasting legacy Cobbett has had on British chamber music. W.W.

  • The Trio in G Minor for Clarinet, Bassoon and Piano by William Yeates Hurlstone
    The Trio in G Minor for Clarinet, Bassoon and Piano by William Yeates Hurlstone a Critical Reassessment - 13th May 2004 1st revision 9th July 2004 2nd revision 29th September 2004 3rd revision 21st October 2004 4th revision 21st January 2005 5th revision 25th February 2005 6th revision 23rd November 2006 - Richard J Moore [email protected] 364 Catherington Lane Waterlooville HANTS PO8 0TU UK Richard J Moore Copyright © 2004 Introduction The Trio in G Minor by William Hurlstone is one of only a handful of works written for clarinet, bassoon and piano; as such, it will be of interest to clarinettists and bassoonists alike. This attractive piece, written in the late 19th century, provides a valuable addition to the repertoire. It has both audience and player appeal; however, from a performer's perspective it is a frustrating work to prepare. The parts and score of the only publicly available source abound with inconsistencies. Even with the latest Emerson edition, while matters of inconsistency have been addressed, it is still difficult to decipher exactly the intent of the composer; the gratuitous overuse of expression marks is particularly troublesome. In comparison, Hurlstone's Four Characteristic Pieces for Clarinet and Piano and his Sonata for Bassoon and Piano are both finely crafted works. It is therefore a mystery as to why the Trio should be so uncharacteristic of Hurlstone's usual attention to detail. The first printed (Emerson) edition1 of the Trio was based on the only publicly accessible source: a professional copy of the autograph made during the 1930s. This source suffers not only from having had alterations made by Parr2, but in its original form it was hardly a faithful reproduction of the autograph.

  • From Oldham to Oxford: the Formative Years of Sir William Walton
    From Oldham to Oxford: The Formative Years of Sir William Walton Gary D. Cannon A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Geoffrey P. Boers, Chair Abraham Kaplan Giselle E. Wyers Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Music © Copyright 2014 Gary D. Cannon University of Washington Abstract From Oldham to Oxford: The Formative Years of Sir William Walton Gary D. Cannon Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Geoffrey Boers Choral Conducting, School of Music The formative years of William Walton (1902–1983) are rarely considered when studying the composer’s life and works. However, careful study of that period indicates many of the directions that the adult Walton would take. Industrial Lancashire was more musically active during the period of Walton’s youth (covering the years 1902 to 1912) than is generally considered. His time as a chorister and later undergraduate at Christ Church, Oxford (1912 to 1920), is replete with influential interactions with talented adults and fellow students. Detailed consideration of Walton’s juvenilia reveals a keen thinker who assimilated these various influences in a unique manner. Far more than merely a springboard for a future talent, these years resulted in inspired works and a firm purpose for the budding composer.

  • Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875 –1912)
    Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912) BLACK EUROPEANS: A British Library Online Gallery feature by guest curator Mike Phillips Taylor, Samuel Coleridge, composer, was born on 15 August 1875 at 15 Theobalds Road, Holborn, London - just round the corner from Fetter Lane, which Dickens described as the “dingiest collection of shabby buildings ever squeezed together in a rank corner as a club for tom cats”. His parents were registered as Daniel Hugh Taylor, surgeon, and Alice Taylor, formerly Holmans. Biographers are agreed that his father was in fact Dr Daniel Peter Hughes Taylor (c.1848-1904), who returned to his native Sierra Leone after studying at Taunton and King’s College, London; but contrary to the claim in Samuel’s birth certificate, there is no record of Dr Taylor’s marriage to Alice. There is a mystery, also, to do with the fact that the mother with whom he grew up was known as Alice Hare Martin, (1856-1953) – the daughter of Emily Ann Martin - not Holmans. It appears, however, that a couple named Sarah and Benjamin Holman had a hand in Samuel’s upbringing, and Holman gave young Samuel his first violin, along with his first violin lessons. The confusion might well have been a deliberate strategy to circumvent the stigma of illegitimacy. On the other hand, if the Alice of the birth certificate was the same woman as Alice Hare Martin, it is not clear how or why she and her son shifted with such ease from the worst slum in the city to the relative safety of suburban Croydon, and the warm bosom of a respectable working-class family.
