Gustav Holst: Christ Hath A Garden

Gustav Holst: Christ Hath A Garden

He and the poet Robert Bridges became great friends over time, their friendship blossoming after Holst sought copyright of one of Bridges? works in May 1925. This is a terrific hymn set to a poem of Bridges' typical of the combined workings of these two great English artists, and has been edited here for SATB mixed choir and organ pedals by Alan Gibbs.

Richard Alston: Norman Del Mar

Richard Alston: Norman Del Mar

This is the first biography of great British conductor Norman Del Mar who sadly died in 1994. A horn-player colleague of Dennis Brain he owed the opportunites for his earliest conducting success to the teachings Beecham and Britten. He went on to hold opportunities in Scotland and Scandanavia, but never securecd a permanent post that would have perhaps enabled him to attain his full ptential as a conductor. However, he gave countless premieres at the BBc Proms and elsewhere, while his love of large-scale music occasioned pioneering UK performances of Mahler symphonies and major works by Schoenberg and Stockhausen. He was also a prolific author, notable for his study of richard Strauss and several books on the orchestra, and well-known as a teacher. But he is best rememebered today as a champion of British music all over the world, and this is reflected, albeit inadequately, in his discography, published here in full. A wonderful, enlightening and nostalgic book which will be a joy and of great use to Del Mar admirers, thiose interest in conducting or in music and history.

Wilfred Stephenson: The People's Impresario

Wilfred Stephenson: The People's Impresario

If ever there was a self-made man it was Wilfred Stephenson. Born in 1892 in the humblest of circumstances, he understood the poor man's desire to be better educated and socially accepted. He had a utopian vision in which everyone, rich or poor, would be able to listen to great music performed by the best international musicians and singers. Between 1921 and 1939 he promoted thousands of concerts of classical music in over 60 towns and cities in Britain, particularly the Midlands and the North and with his flair and astute business sense made himself a fortune. This autobiography, edited by his step-daughter and illustrated by photographs of some of the well-known artists with whom he collaborated, tells his remarkable story.

Browne 6 Songs High Voice/Piano

Browne 6 Songs High Voice/Piano

Gems in their own right, these songs offer tantalizing glimpses of what might have been had Browne been granted time.The life of gifted composer, Organist, musician and teacher W Denis Browne was cut cruelly short when, at age 26, he was mortally wounded at the battle for Gallipoli, just a few weeks after he buried his friend the poet Rupert Brooke on Skyros. In his brief years, he had a particularly active musical life, showing brilliance in his music criticism, and composing a few works, most of which were destroyed, at his request, after his death. These six songs, and in particular To Gratiana Dancing and Singing, demonstrate great gifts proceeding from bud to bloom, and anticipating some of the impressionistic later works of Debussy.

Ivor Gurney: Seven Sappho Songs

Ivor Gurney: Seven Sappho Songs

Ivor Gurney, doubly gifted as both poet and composer was born in 1890. The wonderful song cycle presented here, was inspired by Gurney's discovery of William Bliss Carmen's poems in 1919. Carmen's poems were imaginative reconstructions of the surviving fragments of the nine volumes written by Sappho, who was born in 612BC. Sappho is said to have been the leader of a band of maidens who worshipped Aphrodite, Goddess of Love. Sappho's affections seem to have been directed exclusively at women and the sensuously erotic fragments that have come down through millennia to us tell of one of Sappho's passionate love affairs. This wonderful song cycle, full of beauty and emotion, transports us back to the isle of Lesbos and, with words of great tenderness and beauty, tells the story of a heady, passionate, all-consuming love that is so strong the pain of parting becomes overwhelming and almost too much to endure.
