  • And Progress to St Martin's Chamber Music Competition Final
    Competition Final: Tuesday 27 April, 7.30pm Thank you Iceland: Finalists Defy 'Act of God' and progress to St Martin's Chamber Music Competition Final The Piatti String Quartet, Greenwich Trio and Elixir Trio will perform in their bid to become the first ever winners of St Martin's Chamber Music Competition in partnership with Making Music. After making it through the preliminary and semi−final rounds, the three groups will compete for the coveted prize. Piatti String Quartet, stranded in France by the cloud of volcanic ash which wreaked havoc for travellers across Europe last week, drove through the night to a ferry from Dunkirk in order to make their scheduled semi−final last Tuesday 20 April. While those stranded were cursing Iceland's volcanic activity, The Greenwich Trio are newly converted fans of the volcano. As the reserve ensemble for the semi−final of the competition, they were called on Monday 19 April when it became clear that unfortunately, not all semi−finalists would make it back to London to perform, and were offered a place in the semi−final the next day. Their performance of excerpts from Beethoven's Archduke Piano Trio and Ravel Piano Trio in A minor impressed the panel with its vivacity, passion and technical brilliance. Paris based Elixir Trio according to one semi−final panellist, gave the "most extraordinarily moving and engaging" performance of the slow movement from Francaix's Piano Trio to secure their place in Tuesday's final. "We gave them extra points for the violinist's blue hair" joked another panellist, then hastening to add that actually, it was the groups musical performance which saw them succeed.

    _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ February 2016 Published by FCC in conjunction with the Archdeaconry of London www.cityevents.website _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sword Rests of the City The historic churches of the City of London contain many unusual and interesting furnishings and fittings. Among the most intriguing are the sword rests which are present in so many of the churches in the “square mile”, but in very few other locations in the country. Sword rests, or sword stands as they are sometimes called, were originally installed in City churches to hold the Lord Mayor's sword of state when he visited a different church every Sunday, a practice which ceased in 1883. The Lord mayor would be accompanied by various officers of the City, including the swordbearer, who would place the ceremonial sword upright in a sword rest, most commonly attached to the front pews. The oldest surviving rest dates from 1664 and the majority were installed in the 18th and 19th centuries. There are 58 surviving sword rests originating from City churches or livery halls. Two thirds of these can be seen in City churches, four are in livery halls, while the remainder are either in storage in churches or in museums . Two can be seen in All Hallows Twickenham, a Wren church rebuilt in the suburbs in 1939. All the sword rests, with the exception of that in St Michael Cornhill, are surmounted by a royal crown and almost all have the City’s coat of arms prominently displayed. Many also show the royal arms, the coat of arms of at least one Lord Mayor and, in a number of cases, the arms of the livery company of which dthe Lor Mayor was a member.

    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ February 2013 Published by the FCC in conjunction with the Archdeaconry of London www.cityevents.co.uk The Roman Influence on Wren’s City Churches Christopher Wren, in designing his City churches after the Great Fire, used, where possible, the principles of classical architecture, not the Gothic style which had dominated church architecture in England prior to the Reformation. There were effectively no churches in England that could serve as an example for him. Wren had visited Paris in 1665, where he had seen the domed churches of Lemercier’s Sorbonne and Mansart’s Val de Grace. The main source of classical church design, however, lay in Rome, where great architects like Bramante, Bernini and Borromini had been building domed churches in the classical style. Many of these buildings were known to Wren through a book of engravings by Giovanni Falda, “Chiese di Roma”, the 1675 edition of which is known to have been in his possession. Wren also had copies of the works of Serlio (from the 16th century) and Vitruvius (1st century BC), the latter being the only contemporary written authority on the buildings of ancient Rome. Wren’s biggest churches, such as St Bride Fleet Street, St Andrew Holborn and Christ Church Newgate Street, were built in the style of ancient Roman basilicas, with a three-aisled interior and barrel or groin-vaulted ceilings. The origins of his other church designs, particularly the steeples, are less obvious. The interior of St Mary le Bow is of an unusual, three-bay design. There is, however, a strong resemblance to the Basilica of Constantine and Maxentius in the Roman Forum, and it seems likely that this was the model used by Wren for the famous church of the Bow Bells.

    EDUARD NÁPRAVNÍK, FORGOTTEN CZECH-RUSSIAN MASTER by Anastasia Belina In the west Eduard Frantsevich Nápravník (1839–1916) is arguably one of the least well known among the major musical figures of Tsarist Russia. Although a prolific composer, prominent conductor and excellent pianist, he made his largest contribution as chief conductor of the Russian opera at the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg (then the Russian capital), a post he held for a little over half a century, and it is for his performances of both European and Russian operas and symphonic repertoire that he is best remembered. Although the English-language literature on Nápravník is scarce (there is no biography other than in Russian), there are a number of Russian-language sources, which include biographies, published selections of his letters, memoirs and notebooks. Nápravník was a prolific correspondent, exchanging over 12,000 letters with over 500 of the prominent personalities of his day. Among his Russian correspondents were Pyotr and Modest Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Balakirev, Glazunov, Musorgsky, Anton and Nikolay Rubinstein, Glinka’s sister Ludmila Shestakova, the famous Russian singers Fyodor Chaliapin, Fyodor Stravinsky (father of Igor) and Ivan Melnikov and many others. His international correspondents included Joachim, Mahler, Nikisch, Saint-Saëns and Weingartner, to name only a few. Not only did Nápravník meticulously preserve these letters; most helpfully for the historian, he often drafted his replies on the backs of the letters or envelopes, which makes it possible to establish the content of his responses when they do not survive. Although some of these letters have been published in various Russian-language sources, the majority remain in the Russian 2 archives.1 From 1863 Nápravník kept a diary, in which he recounted daily events, both personal and, of course, professional.
