Clements Memorial Prize 1958 The 'prize of £50 was awarded to lan Spooner, .aged 31, of Amershain for a trio (clarinet, viola and cello). The adjudicators were William Alwyn, Malcolm Arnold. and Matyas Seiber and the number of entrants, twenty- nina. -As a boy, Ian Spooner was interested in jazz and extemporised on the clarinet and trumpet. After National Service, he decided to specialise in • serious music, so he studied the piano and joined evening classes in corn- 3 position. In 1952. he left the bank where .he was employed and entered Trent Park Training College, specialising .in music. He obtained a scholar- ship to the Trinity College of Music and by 1958 had reached B.Mus. standard. He is now teaching harmony, is choir. master and organist and finds time for composition and study. On January 31. at 6.40 p.m. the Clements Memorial Prize had the dis- tinction of providing two works for a concert on the Third Programme. The announcer said: "We are broadcasting a concert consisting of two works by two British coniposers who have come into prominence since the war. They are Racine Fricker and him Hamilton. In each case the work is the one which first brought its composer to the general notice of the public: each won a Clements Memorial Prize and was first performed at the South Place Concerts, Conway Hall, London." The, works were Wind Quintet, Op. -5 by Racine .Fricker. 1947, and String Quartet. No. 1 by lain Hamilton, 1950. Church Finance From time to time, something happens which- draws attention anew to the old question of church finance. It is notorious that the churches have long been the focal points of "big business" in a particular domain. Many years ago, Upton Sinclair wrote an American exposure entitled the Profits of Religion and it is curious that nobody has yet written a Ph.D thesis on a similar subject covering this country. The Roman Catholic Church in Eng- land is demanding at the present Moment that the 50 per cent maintenance grant on its schools should be raised to 75 per cent and should be applied to schools not yet covered, to any built after 1944 or in the future. Its plea is based upon poverty. Yet the new Pope advertises his forthcoming council which must cost a vast sum to put over, and everywhere there are signs ot church-building and the expansion of communities or the like. This state of affairs does not suggest poverty! We made a few enquiries concerning Roman Catholic finance but could get very little information. The parochial finances go through the hands of the bishop whilst those of an Order are dealt with by the superior. Apparently, the financial work is done by laymen and is kept strictly private although we should like to know how much of the money raised leaves this country to support the international body! One fact stand out. Unless a full disclosure of Roman Catholic finances is made to the public at large and the income of the Church properly demonstrated. this body can hardly expect taxpayers to dip further into their pockets to finance educational schemes with which the majority disagree and which many taxpayers will see as being positively harmful to the child mind. Striking Oil • In the case of the Church of England, we were equally befogged. We soon discovered that the Church Commissioners enjoy an income running into many millions of pounds per annum and that this income is disbursed for Church purposes, salaries and the like. The much-proclaimed poverty of the clergy seems still to leave plenty of room for highly-paid bishops besides a host of lay officials who batten well on the crumbs which fall from the rich man's table! But there are many other sources of income ranging from local endowments to the widow's mite so that we have been informed that the total gross income of the Church of England is well over £30 million a year. (If we have fallen for a piece of misinformation, it is the Church's own fault: they should publish a proper balance sheet!) Payment of its top people must be very satisfactory to themselves. For example, the Archbishop of Canter- bury receives £7,250 per annum and we are told that the income of the See of London is £5.200 per annum and that many other bishoprics are over 4 the £4,000 per annum level. In each case, the income is in addition tO free housing. This is not doing too badly as a recompense for discipleship of the Son of Man who had•nowhere to lay his head! Again, we have heard a certain amount of late concerning the "big business" dealings of the Church Commissioners. Apparently, they have sold out the bulk of their property investments and have entered such spheres as that of oil. Only the other day, they announced a profit of £350,000 earned by dabbling in the aluniinium ring. It is interesting that the Sociaffst weekly, Tribune, accused them in this matter of acting'in an anti-British-manner by'handing aluminium control over to the Americans! We do nof wish to 'go further concerning'questions of the capitalisation of assets by, the sale in some areas of former Church sites for commercial development at very large nurchase prices or, as we were informed concerning one diocese about two years ago, the raising of a £300,000 overdraft and its continuance :during the period of the "credit squeeze". The faet remains that those who are engaged'in the saving of souls after the manner established by the law of the land are also busily engaged in saving far more substantial and tangible assets.

  • The Inspiration Behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston
    THE INSPIRATION BEHIND COMPOSITIONS FOR CLARINETIST FREDERICK THURSTON Aileen Marie Razey, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 201 8 APPROVED: Kimberly Cole Luevano, Major Professor Warren Henry, Committee Member John Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Razey, Aileen Marie. The Inspiration behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 86 pp., references, 51 titles. Frederick Thurston was a prominent British clarinet performer and teacher in the first half of the 20th century. Due to the brevity of his life and the impact of two world wars, Thurston’s legacy is often overlooked among clarinetists in the United States. Thurston’s playing inspired 19 composers to write 22 solo and chamber works for him, none of which he personally commissioned. The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive biography of Thurston’s career as clarinet performer and teacher with a complete bibliography of compositions written for him. With biographical knowledge and access to the few extant recordings of Thurston’s playing, clarinetists may gain a fuller understanding of Thurston’s ideal clarinet sound and musical ideas. These resources are necessary in order to recognize the qualities about his playing that inspired composers to write for him and to perform these works with the composers’ inspiration in mind. Despite the vast list of works written for and dedicated to Thurston, clarinet players in the United States are not familiar with many of these works, and available resources do not include a complete listing.

  • The Publication History of Spohr's Clarinet Concertos
    THE PUBLICATION HISTORY OF SPOHR'S CLARINET CONCERTOS by Keith Warsop N DISCUSSING the editions used for the recording by French clarinettist paul Meyer of Spohr's four concertos for the instrument on the Alpha label (released as a two-CD set, ALPHA 605, with the orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne), reviewers in the November 2012 issues of the Gramophone and,Internotional Record Review magazines came to some slightly misleading conclusions about this subject so that it has become important to clarify matters. Carl Rosman, writing in 1RR, ,authentic, said: "Meyer has also taken steps towards a more text fbr these concertos. While the clarinet works of Mozart, Brahms and Weber have seen various Urtext editions over the years, Spohr's concertos circulate only in piano reductions from the late nineteenth century ... Meyer has prepared his own editions from the best available sources (the manuscripts of all but No.4 have been lost but there are contemporary manuscript copies of the others held at the Louis Spohr Society in Kassel); this has certainly giu., him lreater freedom in the area of articulation, and also allowed him to adopt some more-flowing temios than the late nineteenth-century editions specify.', In the Gramophone, Nalen Anthoni stated: "Hermstedt demanded exclusive rights and, presumably, kept the autographs. Only that of No.4 was found, in 1960. The other works have been put together from manuscript copies. Paul Meyer seems largely attuned to the solo parts edited by stanley Drucker, the one-time principal ciarinettist of the New york philharmonic. Michael Collins [on the Hyperion label] is of similar mind, though both musicians add their own individual touches phrasing to and articulation.

  • Instructions for Authors
    Journal of Science and Arts Supplement at No. 2(13), pp. 157-161, 2010 THE CLARINET IN THE CHAMBER MUSIC OF THE 20TH CENTURY FELIX CONSTANTIN GOLDBACH Valahia University of Targoviste, Faculty of Science and Arts, Arts Department, 130024, Targoviste, Romania Abstract. The beginning of the 20th century lay under the sign of the economic crises, caused by the great World Wars. Along with them came state reorganizations and political divisions. The most cruel realism, of the unimaginable disasters, culminating with the nuclear bombs, replaced, to a significant extent, the European romanticism and affected the cultural environment, modifying viewpoints, ideals, spiritual and philosophical values, artistic domains. The art of the sounds developed, being supported as well by the multiple possibilities of recording and world distribution, generated by the inventions of this epoch, an excessively technical one, the most important ones being the cinema, the radio, the television and the recordings – electronic or on tape – of the creations and interpretations. Keywords: chamber music of the 20th century, musical styles, cultural tradition. 1. INTRODUCTION Despite all the vicissitudes, music continued to ennoble the human souls. The study of the instruments’ construction features, of the concert halls, the investigation of the sound and the quality of the recordings supported the formation of a series of high-quality performers and the attainment of high performance levels. The international contests organized on instruments led to a selection of the values of the interpretative art. So, the exceptional professional players are no longer rarities. 2. DISCUSSIONS The economic development of the United States of America after the two World Wars, the cultural continuity in countries with tradition, such as England and France, the fast restoration of the West European states, including Germany, represented conditions that allowed the flourishing of musical education.

WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART (1756-1791) Written in 1786, The Marriage ofFigaro is one of Mozart's greatest operas in the Italian style. It embodies Beaumarchais' bitter indictment of the tyranny, greed, and immorality of the nobility. After the sensational success of Beaumarchais' play in Paris in 1784, Mozart suggested to his librettist, Lorenzo da Ponte, the idea of making it into an opera. Already in the autumn of 1785, Mozart was at work on his music, composing with feverish haste, even as Da Ponte hurried to complete the libretto. "As fast as I wrote the words," Da Ponte recounts in his memoirs, "Mozart wrote the music, and it was all finished in six weeks." The overture, however, was composed last, completed only the day before the first performance.

But its bulk should be explained. Rather than being simply a guided tour of the standard instruments in the orchestra, it amounts to a series of portraits of the instruments in their totality. Thus we meet them in a number of widely differing contexts (orchestral, of course, but also solo and in sundry instrumental groupings) and we hear them transformed by a wide range of techniques. We hear them in folk music – from many different countries – and we hear them in forms both ancient and modern. The violin being the very backbone of the orchestra, from the seventeenth century to the present, we spend the whole of CD 1 in its company, exploring the full range of its multifaceted character, from the sensuously seductive to the positively chilling, from the celestial to the diabolical.

Para ello he tenido en cuenta un factor de vital importancia en el que me apoyaré para avanzar en este proyecto; me refiero naturalmente a la evolución del instrumento. Con ello no pretendo describir la evolución organológica paso a paso, sería inabarcable en este trabajo, simplemente me ciño a tres momentos concretos. Las obras elegidas para llevar a cabo este estudio son representativas de algunos de los períodos más importantes de la Historia de la música, así como relevantes de la propia literatura del clarinete. - Clasicismo: Concierto para clarinete KV 622 de W. A. Mozart. - Romanticismo: Piezas de fantasía op. 73 de R. Schumann. - Siglo XX: Primera Rapsodia para clarinete de C. Debussy, Tres Piezas para clarinete solo de I.
