Firstly, the Delius Trust has generously given us a guarantee of £25,000 against the cost of our 2012 celebrations. The Committee had already decided to spend £30,000 of our capital on this almost once-in-a- lifetime project, so we can now budget on a figure of £55,000. That may sound a lot, but, as we all know, doing anything these days is expensive! It is all getting very exciting! Secondly, there is to be a Delius Birthday concert on the afternoon of the day – 29th January – in the Royal Festival Hall, with Julian Lloyd Webber playing the ’Cello Concerto, Brigg Fair and the Enigma Variations with The Philharmonia under Sir Andrew Davis. We are planning other activities for the same day, either in the morning or after the concert, and in the evening the Fitzwilliam Quartet will be giving a recital at the Conway Hall (not far away on the other side of the river) which will include Late Swallows. Needless to say, all Members will be circulated with the details nearer the time and soon a regularly updated list of all known performances of Delius’s music being given up to the end of 2012 will be on the website. Our 2012 Sub-Committee is meeting regularly, and we make progress every time! Nevertheless, apart from the Trust’s guarantee, not a great deal has actually been finalised since Michael Green reported in Newsletter 31 – and it therefore seems sensible to leave a detailed report until Newsletter 32. In the meanwhile, however, the 2012 page on the website will soon have a lot of information about future concerts which include a Delius work. Notwithstanding all the work that is going into the plans for 2012, ‘normal’ life has continued – and we have had five excellent London Branch meetings across the winter months, with one more, the Steinway Hall recital by last year’s Prize winners, still to come at the end of March (at the time of writing). Those five meetings will be reported in detail in this issue and the next. The Midlands Branch, under the indefatigable Richard Kitching, has also been active, with Paul Guinery giving a fascinating illustrated talk on the music of York Bowen, and a recital this April by the brilliant young pianist Mark Bebbington. I fear that I must finish on a somewhat despondent note, by saying that neither Michael Green nor I have had any responses to the pleas in the last Newsletter for Members to offer themselves for co-option on to the 2012 6 DSJ 149 Spring 2011.indd 6 19/04/2011 09:12 Sub-Committee or for appointment as our Membership Secretary. Without wanting to appear defeatist, if we are not be able to recruit additional help, the Committee will (if only on account of increasing anno domini!) become less and less able to carry out all the tasks we feel are necessary to maintain both the Society’s high standing in the world of English music and our efforts to continue to achieve its aims. If, on reflection, you think that you might be able to help, please do contact either Michael Green or me. Martin Lee-Browne 7 DSJ 149 Spring 2011.indd 7 19/04/2011 09:12 EDITORIAL Whilst this has been a long hard winter it is heartening to see how much activity there is around the work of Delius and his circle of friends. The tide of preparation for 2012 is flowing onwards with exciting prospects in the field of live concerts, recordings, and interesting reissues. Also a number of concerts have livened up the long winter months. Not least the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Sir Andrew Davis’s performance of The Song of the High Hills reviewed elsewhere in these pages by Neil Fisher of The Times. It was very encouraging to see that a number of other prominent critics were very positive about this beautiful Delius score. Just two examples of their views will give you a flavour of the critical response: firstly, Bob Briggs writing on www.musicweb-international.com who, apart from

  • String Quartet in E Minor, Op 83
    String Quartet in E minor, op 83 A quartet in three movements for two violins, viola and cello: 1 - Allegro moderato; 2 - Piacevole (poco andante); 3 - Allegro molto. Approximate Length: 30 minutes First Performance: Date: 21 May 1919 Venue: Wigmore Hall, London Performed by: Albert Sammons, W H Reed - violins; Raymond Jeremy - viola; Felix Salmond - cello Dedicated to: The Brodsky Quartet Elgar composed two part-quartets in 1878 and a complete one in 1887 but these were set aside and/or destroyed. Years later, the violinist Adolf Brodsky had been urging Elgar to compose a string quartet since 1900 when, as leader of the Hallé Orchestra, he performed several of Elgar's works. Consequently, Elgar first set about composing a String Quartet in 1907 after enjoying a concert in Malvern by the Brodsky Quartet. However, he put it aside when he embarked with determination on his long-delayed First Symphony. It appears that the composer subsequently used themes intended for this earlier quartet in other works, including the symphony. When he eventually returned to the genre, it was to compose an entirely fresh work. It was after enjoying an evening of chamber music in London with Billy Reed’s quartet, just before entering hospital for a tonsillitis operation, that Elgar decided on writing the quartet, and he began it whilst convalescing, completing the first movement by the end of March 1918. He composed that first movement at his home, Severn House, in Hampstead, depressed by the war news and debilitated from his operation. By May, he could move to the peaceful surroundings of Brinkwells, the country cottage that Lady Elgar had found for them in the depth of the Sussex countryside.

In the Autumn months there are still concerts and lectures to attend, but it must be admitted there is a sense of ‘winding down’. However, the joint meeting with the Delius Society in October is something to be welcomed, and we hope it may be the beginning of an association with other musical societies.

  • BRITISH and COMMONWEALTH CONCERTOS from the NINETEENTH CENTURY to the PRESENT Sir Edward Elgar
    BRITISH AND COMMONWEALTH CONCERTOS FROM THE NINETEENTH CENTURY TO THE PRESENT A Discography of CDs & LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934) Born in Broadheath, Worcestershire, Elgar was the son of a music shop owner and received only private musical instruction. Despite this he is arguably England’s greatest composer some of whose orchestral music has traveled around the world more than any of his compatriots. In addition to the Conceros, his 3 Symphonies and Enigma Variations are his other orchestral masterpieces. His many other works for orchestra, including the Pomp and Circumstance Marches, Falstaff and Cockaigne Overture have been recorded numerous times.

  • Percy Grainger, Frederick Delius and the 1914–1934 American ‘Delius Campaign’
    ‘The Art-Twins of Our Timestretch’: Percy Grainger, Frederick Delius and the 1914–1934 American ‘Delius Campaign’ Catherine Sarah Kirby Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Music (Musicology) April 2015 Melbourne Conservatorium of Music The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper Abstract This thesis explores Percy Grainger’s promotion of the music of Frederick Delius in the United States of America between his arrival in New York in 1914 and Delius’s death in 1934. Grainger’s ‘Delius campaign’—the title he gave to his work on behalf of Delius— involved lectures, articles, interviews and performances as both a pianist and conductor. Through this, Grainger was responsible for a number of noteworthy American Delius premieres. He also helped to disseminate Delius’s music by his work as a teacher, and through contact with publishers, conductors and the press. In this thesis I will examine this campaign and the critical reception of its resulting performances, and question the extent to which Grainger’s tireless promotion affected the reception of Delius’s music in the USA. To give context to this campaign, Chapter One outlines the relationship, both personal and compositional, between Delius and Grainger. This is done through analysis of their correspondence, as well as much of Grainger’s broader and autobiographical writings. This chapter also considers the relationship between Grainger, Delius and others musicians within their circle, and explores the extent of their influence upon each other. Chapter Two examines in detail the many elements that made up the ‘Delius campaign’.

And a struggling composer, if he wishes his music to be published and therefore reach a wider audience, must write what a publisher believes he can sell. Only having established a reputation can a composer write larger scale works in a form of his own choosing with any realistic expectation of having them performed. During the latter half of the nineteenth century, the stock-in-trade for most publishers was the sale of sheet music of short salon pieces for home performance. It was a form that was eventually to bring Elgar considerably enhanced recognition and a degree of financial success with the publication for solo piano of Salut d'Amour in 1888 and of three hugely popular works first published in arrangements for piano and violin - Mot d'Amour (1889), Chanson de Nuit (1897) and Chanson de Matin (1899). Elgar composed short pieces for solo piano sporadically throughout his life. But, apart from the two Chansons, May Song (1901) and Offertoire (1902), an arrangement of Sospiri and, of course, the Violin Sonata, all of Elgar's works for piano and violin were composed between 1877, the dawning of his ambitions to become a serious composer, and 1891, the year after his first significant orchestral success withFroissart.

  • Percy Grainger and New Worlds of Concert Pianism
    Percy Grainger and New Worlds of Concert Pianism: A Study of Repertoire and Programming (1914-1926) Natalie Stephanie Bellio Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Music (By Research) October 2013 Melbourne Conservatorium of Music The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper Abstract This thesis presents an overview of Percy Grainger’s piano repertoire and programming on his tours in the United States and elsewhere in the period 1914-1926. In the United States, Percy Grainger encountered a new and wider audience, which gave him the recognition he desired to become well established as a concert pianist, and allowed him the freedom to explore a wider range of piano repertoire, as well as perform his own piano works. He developed an individual approach to programming his piano recitals and committed himself to a role as ambassador for the piano works of selected modern composers throughout America, Scandinavia and Australia. This thesis briefly explores Grainger’s performing career in London from 1901 to 1914, to provide background on Grainger’s roles as a pianist, the diversity of the piano repertoire he performed, and the restrictive circumstances surrounding his early career whilst under the management of his mother Rose. Through new research conducted on concert programmes and other relevant archival material available at the Grainger Museum, this thesis examines Grainger’s transformation as a pianist, the evolution of his selection of piano repertoire and his innovative and maturing approach to recital programming in the United States from 1914 to 1926. In addition, this study explores Grainger’s developing professional role as an educator and promoter of his preferred piano repertoire in the United States.
