  • CUL Keller Archive Catalogue
    HANS KELLER ARCHIVE: working copy A1: Unpublished manuscripts, 1940-49 A1/1: Unpublished manuscripts, 1940-49: independent work This section contains all Keller’s unpublished manuscripts dating from the 1940s, apart from those connected with his collaboration with Margaret Phillips (see A1/2 below). With the exception of one pocket diary from 1938, the Archive contains no material prior to his arrival in Britain at the end of that year. After his release from internment in 1941, Keller divided himself between musical and psychoanalytical studies. As a violinist, he gained the LRAM teacher’s diploma in April 1943, and was relatively active as an orchestral and chamber-music player. As a writer, however, his principal concern in the first half of the decade was not music, but psychoanalysis. Although the majority of the musical writings listed below are undated, those which are probably from this earlier period are all concerned with the psychology of music. Similarly, the short stories, poems and aphorisms show their author’s interest in psychology. Keller’s notes and reading-lists from this period indicate an exhaustive study of Freudian literature and, from his correspondence with Margaret Phillips, it appears that he did have thoughts of becoming a professional analyst. At he beginning of 1946, however, there was a decisive change in the focus of his work, when music began to replace psychology as his principal subject. It is possible that his first (accidental) hearing of Britten’s Peter Grimes played an important part in this change, and Britten’s music is the subject of several early articles.

  • Composers at the Savile Notes
    Notes on the music and composers of the sesquicentennial CD Composers at the Savile Jeremy Barlow Sasha Karpeyev’s piano recital (tracks 2-13) celebrates the Club’s rich musical heritage with works by twelve Savilian composers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the programme takes a circular path chronologically, from late romanticism to twentieth-century modernism and back again. Two Savilian trumpet fanfares (tracks 1 and 14) frame the recital. Corrections and recollections are welcome and will be incorporated. Please contact Jeremy Barlow at [email protected] . The notes are in four sections: i. The music ii. The composers iii. Sasha Karpeyev iv. Sources consulted i. The music 1. Julian Anderson Fanfare: SC-GH (Savile Club-Gavin Henderson), (2018) Sam Pierce, Bradley Jones (trumpets) Savilian Julian Anderson composed ‘SC-GH’ for the Savile’s 150th anniversary. The letters stand for Savile Club and Gavin Henderson; translated into notes, they form the opening musical motifs: ‘S’ = E flat (from the German Es), and ‘H’ = B natural, again from German nomenclature. At the end, Anderson alludes to Malcolm Arnold’s ‘Savile Centenary Fanfare’ (track 14). 2. Sir Charles Hubert Parry (1848-1918, member 1886-1918) Prelude (from the suite Hands Across the Centuries, 1918) Composed near the end of his life, the suite Hands Across the Centuries reflects Parry’s scholarly interest in music of the past. The movements following the Prelude have the titles of a baroque suite, but with whimsical additions: The Passionate Allemande, The Wistful Courant and so on. The musical style throughout belongs to the late nineteenth century.

British attitudes towards foreigners were high- ly ambivalent, and this was reflected institutionally, as the policies of the BBC at the time clearly show. This article reflects on the lives and legacy of five foreign composers, all very different from each other, who were, remarkably, discussed by Francis Routh in a book on British music he published in 1972. I attempt to situate these composers over the course of a longer period of time and ask wheth- er such attitudes have in fact truly changed.

He was a highly respected and prolific composer of film, radio, concert and electronic music in England before he took up a position at the Elder Conservatorium of Music, Adelaide, in 1974 at the age of 49. Cary produced a significant body of work that enjoys public attention through performances, recordings and intelligent criticism, but it remains outside the music canon. He is half remembered in England, and not fully valued in Australia; as it were, each country sees only half the picture.
