  • Forty Years On

    Forty Years On

    FORTY YEARS ON One of the really pleasing features of classical music is the way so many of its devotees are keen to encourage and promote its performance. As early as 1961 a group of members of the Amersham and Chesham Bois Choral Society led by Carol Gray, the Secretary, John Voss, the Chairman and Michael Pelloe, the Musical Director, staged an evening by the Jacques Orchestra. Michael knew Dr Jacques. The following year the orchestra performed again but this time with Leon Goossens. In January 1963 and in October 1964 Opera for All were the artistes; in June 1965 Phyllis Sellick and Cyril Smith. Twelve months later, there were two concerts in one year - the Jacques Orchestra, and La Traviata enacted by Opera for All. It is not surprising that, out of all this musical activity, John Voss, Carol Gray and others should, on 16th March 1967, hold the first meeting of the Steering Committee to arrange the founding of the Amersham Concert Club. They produced a draft constitution. The inaugural meeting was held in St John’s Church Hall on 23rd May 1967 and there was a reception in October in the Crown Hotel, Old Amersham. They invited Gerald Moore to become the Club’s first President. A season ticket for the winter season’s three concerts was priced at one guinea, and single tickets at 10 shillings. On the 4th November Denis Matthews performed at Dr Challoner's Grammar School, two months later, on the 12th January 1968, Opera for All staged a concert at Dr Challoner's High School and the season finished with the Allegri String Quartet on the 4th May, back at the Grammar School.

    A Pianist's Perspective on Song Transposition, Focusing on Robert

    A Pianist’s Perspective on Song Transposition, Focusing on Robert Schumann’s Liederreihe nach Kerner, Op. 35 Critical Project submitted by Jinhong Low in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Master of Music degree in Performance, Royal College of Music, May 2020. Contents Page Introduction 3 Chapter 1 – Context 5 Chapter 2 – Case Study: Schumann’s Liederreihe nach Kerner, Op. 35 15 Conclusion 24 Appendix – Recordings Surveyed 25 Bibliography 27 Discography 30 2 Introduction The study of song cycles has long been a focus of music scholarship.1 Many different topics have been repeatedly discussed regarding cornerstone repertoire like Schubert’s Winterreise (D. 911), or Schumann’s Dichterliebe (Op. 48). Writers have approached these works with focuses on tonal analysis, rhythmic analysis, poetry analysis, thematic relationships, structure and definition of song cycles, and many more.2 Nevertheless, one topic remains relatively elusive in scholarship, although it is commonplace in performance – Transposition.3 Transposition is a musical device where the notation or performance of music is different from which it is originally notated.4 Vocal music, specifically the song genre, is very frequently transposed, so much so that major publishing houses (e.g. Edition Peters, International Music Company, Bärenreiter and more) publish these transposed versions in multiple volumes, for differing voice types, making it easily accessible to the singers and public.5 The idea of transposed songs being accessible to public is not a new one. In a letter dated 1869 to Brahms from his publisher, Fritz Simrock, he mentioned that for a song to be considered commercially successful, frequent performances were needed.6 In the interest of ensuring repeated performances from as wide a range of singers as possible, Simrock regularly published transposed versions of Brahms’ songs to suit different voices during the composer’s lifetime.

    Fullerian 2019-20 Editor’s Note When I became editor of the Fullerian, the then headmaster pointed to all the copies of the previous magazines held in his study and said they reflected the very life and ethos of the school, and were held for posterity. Each year, three copies of the magazine are placed in the library and have, on occasion, been taken out and used as historical references. But what was going to happen this year when school trips, visits and musical events were cancelled from early March and then, finally, the school buildings themselves were closed on March 20th to the majority of students? The annual music report is shorter this year, with spring, summer and chamber concerts cancelled; there are no cricket or Sports Day reports and the number of visits and trips are very few. However, school did carry on for students and teachers in a different form. Teachers had to become accustomed to unfamiliar (to some teachers and a fair few students) technology, and students had to develop skills in independent learning, very rapidly, in very unusual circumstances. But from all of this emerged some outstanding work, and a large section of this Fullerian has been given over to celebrating the resilience and determination our students have shown to work in a very different manner from usual. In addition, you’ll find some evidence of extracurricular activities continuing, albeit on a modified basis, and some of our students taking advantage of Lockdown to pursue their own personal interests. Thank you to all those students, members of staff and parents who have helped provide contributions for this issue.

    HISTORICAL REISSUES SCHUBERT: Die schone Miillerin; Winterreise; Schwanengesang. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, baritone; Gerald Moore, piano. EMI 127-01764/66, 3 discs. Returning to the first Fischer-Dieskau-Moore Schubert cycle record­ ings, I have tried to turn back the clock and listen without reference to their long list of later performances. My first impression of Fischer-Dieskau was from the old Fritz Lehmann Saint Matthew Passion recording, in which he sang the Christus. I was enough impressed to become an avid collector of his recordings until they became too numerous for me. My first opportunity to hear him in the flesh was in Edinburgh in 1953, when he and Moore gave a Beethoven recital. Needless to say, I was present at his New York debut, Winterreise sung without interruption and without encores. Few singers of any period have been able to hold an audience so spellbound. It was in this frame of mind that I first heard this recording of Die schone Mullerin. The date of recording is given on the container - 3 and 7 October 1951. At 26 Fischer-Dieskau was already well established as a lieder singer of the first rank. We do not know how much time and study had gone into these songs, but presumably he felt he had arrived at his definitive interpretation. The records reveal a fresh young voice and a thoughtful approach. He presents a gentle apprentice miller, self­ centered and reserved, vigorous and unsophisticated. I like the jaunti­ ness of Das Wandern and the way both fischer-Dieskau and Moore make the contrasts among the stanzas without jarring the musical line.
