First, the Federation is delighted that, as you will have noted from the front cover, Julian Lloyd Webber has agreed to Hsucceed Lyndon Jenkins as our President. This really is great news and our chairman has more to say on this in his column elsewhere in this magazine. The front cover will also have revealed – if you didn’t know already – that this year’s Daventry Music Weekend will feature a live recital given by Chloë Hanslip, who will be joined by her equally distinguished colleague Danny Driver. The chairman has something to say on this too, as he does regarding the FRMS committee, the make-up of which was ratified at the Southport AGM. As you thumb through this issue you will eventually be confronted by something of a Rogues’ Gallery, which provides an opportunity for us to share details about ourselves that we’re happy for you to know about! In my piece for Bulletin 160, I mentioned my experience at my one and only visit – so far – to the Berlin Philharmonie. If you enjoy concert-going from the comfort of your armchair, you might just be interested in an exciting offer, specially negotiated by this magazine with the Philharmonie, which enables computer and broadband users a free look at what their Digital Concert Hall has to offer. Happy viewing and listening! Even in this issue, though, I do end on a rather sad note. Looking back to last year’s Daventry event, we felt privileged to be joined by the eminent author and critic Michael Kennedy. Alas, Michael sadly died on New Year’s Eve and his appearance at Daventry was most likely one of his last public engagements. In the last issue, I wrote some warm words about the man, and I was so pleased to read genuinely glowing tributes in the press from his fellow professionals. These appeared to reflect the fact that Michael himself rarely, if ever, maliciously bad- mouthed any particular artist when appraising their work. ● 3 FRMS Annual General Meeting 2014 Southport Gramophone Society were the hosts for this year’s AGM held at the town’s Royal Clifton Hotel, where 19 societies were represented.

  • Navigating, Coping & Cashing In
    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way? As Phil Sommerich points out in his excellent overview of “The 8 The Distribution Maze: Distribution Maze,” Part I and Part II, yes, there is a way, or rather, ways. But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one? Sommerich lets us in on a few of the major players, explains 11 Five Minutes, Five Questions how they each work, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. with Three Top Label Execs In “The Musical America Recording Surveys,” we confirmed that our readers are both consumers and makers of recordings.

  • Music Inspired by the Works of Thomas Hardy
    This article was first published in The Hardy Review , Volume XVI-i, Spring 2014, pp. 29-45, and is reproduced by kind permission of The Thomas Hardy Association, editor Rosemarie Morgan. Should you wish to purchase a copy of the paper please go to: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/ttha/thr/2014/00000016/0 0000001/art00004 LITERATURE INTO MUSIC: MUSIC INSPIRED BY THE WORKS OF THOMAS HARDY Part Two: Music composed after Hardy’s lifetime CHARLES P. C. PETTIT Part One of this article was published in the Autumn 2013 issue. It covered music composed during Hardy’s lifetime. This second article covers music composed since Hardy’s death, coming right up to the present day. The focus is again on music by those composers who wrote operatic and orchestral works, and only mentions song settings of poems, and music in dramatisations for radio and other media, when they were written by featured composers. Hardy’s work is seen to have inspired a wide variety of music, from full-length operas and musicals, via short pieces featuring particular fictional episodes, to ballet music and purely orchestral responses. Hardy-inspired compositions show no sign of reducing in number over the decades. However despite the quantity of music produced and the quality of much of it, there is not the sense in this period that Hardy maintained the kind of universal appeal for composers that was evident during the last two decades of his life. Keywords : Thomas Hardy, Music, Opera, Far from the Madding Crowd , Tess of the d’Urbervilles , Alun Hoddinott, Benjamin Britten, Elizabeth Maconchy In my earlier article, published in the Autumn 2013 issue of the Hardy Review , I covered Hardy-inspired music composed during Hardy’s lifetime.
