I am happy to report that Peg Kehret has assumed the Memorial Fund duties. Contributions can be sent to her at P.O. Box 303, Wilkeson, WA 98396. Karl Ellison has put in a lot of time updating the database for production of the new directory. Please make the needed corrections on the form he sent you and return it to him as soon as possible so the new directory can be as accurate as possible. Editing and organizing the database has been a monumental task and we owe Karl many thanks for taking on the project. LeRoy Lambert recently sent me a box of “left-over” souvenir rolls from the 1979 AMICA convention in Philadelphia. The roll is QRS Q-176 (original QRS 30028), “The Stars and Stripes Forever” and has a neat, ornate, printed leader. The first people who send $10 to me will get a copy of the roll and I’ll put the profits into the Memorial Fund.

  • 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’.

  • Delius (1862-1934)
    BRITISH ORCHESTRAL MUSIC (Including Orchestral Poems, Suites, Serenades, Variations, Rhapsodies, Concerto Overtures etc) A Discography of CDs & LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Frederick Delius (1862-1934) Born in Bradford to German parents. His family had not destined him for a musical career but due to the persuasion of Edvard Grieg his father allowed him to attend the Leipzig Conservatory where he was a pupil of Hans Sitt and Carl Reinecke. His true musical education, however, came from his exposure to the music of African-American workers in Florida as well as the influences of Grieg, Wagner and the French impressionists. His Concertos and other pieces in classical forms are not his typical works and he is best known for his nature-inspired short orchestral works. He also wrote operas that have yielded orchestral preludes and intermezzos in his most characteristic style. Sir Thomas Beecham was his great champion both during Delius’ lifetime and after his death.

  • Cosmopolitanism and Race in Percy Grainger's American “Delius Campaign”
    Cosmopolitanism and Race in Percy Grainger’s American “Delius Campaign” Sarah Kirby We are sitting in the sunshine on the terrace of our villa overlooking the beautiful bay of Rapallo and talking of you; and we were wondering whether ever any other composer had met with a colleague and friend like you, so devoted and interested in his friend’s work and understanding thro’ his own genius. (Delius 1983, 286)1 Composer Frederick Delius (1862–1934) wrote this to Percy Grainger (1882–1961) on January 23, 1924 in acknowledgement of the significance of their friendship and Grainger’s work on his behalf. Despite the recipro- cal appreciation reflected in their correspondence, the importance of their relationship and its musical and personal consequences is rarely acknowl- edged in the scholarly literature. This relationship prompted Grainger, on his arrival in the United States in 1914, to coordinate what he described as a “Delius campaign” after noticing that Delius’s music was not “being pushed here at all” (Grainger 1914a). Designed to promote and dissemi- nate the music of his friend throughout the country, Grainger’s main goal for this campaign, as grandly outlined in a number of letters, was to do his part in establishing Delius “as one of the greatest of the greatest” (Grainger 1915a). His approach to this was manifold, organizing performances of Delius’s music, giving lectures and writing articles about Delius, as well as consistently championing Delius’s music when in contact with the press, publishers, and other musicians of influence. As so often happens with Grainger, however, these efforts were quickly influenced by his strident racist views, and from around 1919 Grainger expanded his campaign to include not only Delius, but all music he deemed to be of “Anglo-Saxon” or “Nordic” origin: music, by his own definition, “written by blue-eyed people anywhere, and showing the characteristics of that race” (Grainger 1930a).
