BMS NEWSLETTERS

The Newsletter’s original aim was to provide communication between the Executive Committee and

the membership, and between members amongst themselves. Publicity for events, the yearly accounts

and policy statements were amongst the former, while members provided correspondence, reviews of

books, recordings, concerts and opera. Later there evolved a lively Question and Answer feature, and

there are numerous notices and the like. It is not possible to log all these here, but the hundreds of

composers mentioned feature in the Indices.

However from early days there was included a number of feature articles either of interest, of substance

or of both. Most of these are listed below to provide a thumbnail sketch of the major contents.

EDGAR BAINTON SCORES

Photo Copies donated by Helen Bainton and Professor Stephen Tunley

and scrutinised by Michael Jones (who obtained copies of a missing page or pages).

1. The Pearl Tree

Full score (in two volumes) and orchestral parts - i.e. ready for performance

2. The Crier by Night

Vocal score, pianoforte score and full score

Copies of these may be made and issued on loan in whole or part on the sole condition that they are to

be performed live or recorded providing permission is granted by the Chief Librarian of the Jerwood

Library (Trinity College of Music) and the Chairman of the British Music Society. Examination with a

view to performance must take place at the Library and not loaned out. A signature of receipt is

JOHN IRELAND LETTERS

Photo Copies of letters written by John Ireland to Marjorie Walde

and donated by Marjorie Walde

The content is split into several sections: 1939 - 1943 each year separate

1945 - 1949 each year separate but some confusion in the

copying between 1946/7

1953 - 1957 each year separate

Miscellaneous post cards

Miscellaneous undated letters

some musical jottings

score of song - Immortality

score of - Four Miniatures - Havergal Brian

score of - If there were dreams to sell - Walter Allum

These letters were not filed in chronological order, and sometimes different letters are copied in parallel

(hence the problem between 1946/7). Though every attempt has been made to correct this, there is still

an exercise to be done to vet, correct and place the miscellaneous items in their proper sequence.

Accompanying the scores there was also an original score (unsigned) of Songs of Wonder by Geoffrey

Bush. I have assumed this is unconnected with the Ireland collection and have filed it under

Miscellaneous - Subject D.

See Section I Subject E for some correspondence re this collection; and Section III Subject A for a reel

to reel recording of a talk by Ms. Walde (one assumes with Andrew Guyatt - this will need confirming

when the facility to play it is available) .

Also card of John Ireland window in the Musicians’ Chapel of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, City

of London - sent in by Hector Walker on a visit over here.

Letter from Martin Yates re Chandos CD’

*This will need clarifying when reel to reel listening facilities are available. There are two tapes and it

is not known on which the Beaufort Ivanhoe (with the Rees interviews) is held.

If on playing you hear the Queen’s coronation service (taken off the TV at the silver jubilee live) it is

likely Ivanhoe is on the other side.

The second tape is on one side an Australian performance of Williamson’s “The Violins of St Jacques”

taken off the TV live. (Until something better is made it will do as a record of what it sounds like,

though a chiming grandfather clock does not help!). What is on the rest of the tape is not known,

though it could be Ivanhoe.

It is a question of trial & error to discover which tape is which. In any event both may be in poor,

dusty condition.

If “The Violins of St Jacques” is not on the Ivanhoe tape, suggest it is moved to Subject K.

note. It is suggested that the overture be studied or(preferably) performed and a view then

taken on the whether the opera should be investigated further.

Note. It is assumed that a different set of numbers were given to String Quartets with named keys and

those (one assumes atonal) without. The numbering of No 1 with no key has been crossed out, but as

there is a number 2 it is retained here.

Piano

Note. It would seem that this work was added to over a period of time, initially with 8

pieces, then 9 (see catalogue SectionV Subject P Volume II g). It is therefore probable

that The Nurse was added later still, though unproven..

Three, Spring 1981. Details of performances, recordings etc. are given.

Volume IV

Articles or drafts of talks by Robert Still on subjects both musical and otherwise, together illustrating

his intellectual brilliance as a man as well as a composer. It may well be useful to anybody researching

the motives, impetus etc. to his music.

Some of these are fairly fragile.

a. Edmund Rubbra - Symphony No 8 (typed)

b. Untitled - about the mental state of Robert Schumann. (2 - 1 typed, 1 photo copy). Supported by a

letter from the BBC from “Robert” (Robert Simpson) commenting on what one assumes is

c. Structural Factors in the Psychogenesis of Music (handwritten MS). 1954

d. Gustav Mahler and Psychoanalysis. Printed. Reprinted from the American Imago Vol. 17 - Fall -

draft copy in Exercise Book.

f. Towards An International Technique (the technique being the way statesmen might handle each

other etc.). 1956. Typed. There is also a handwritten version in an exercise book.

In the rear of the book is another draft, untitled and very complex, that may possibly have

something to do with the Mahler publication above (d)..

g. Leviticus XI. (It is about clean and unclean animals). Typed. Undated.

h. Synopsis - Can the Primary Process be educated (a contribution to the Study of Ego Structure).

Typed. Undated.

j. Preliminary Explanation (about evolution? and the death instinct - perhaps an early attempt at k.

Handwritten. Undated

k. The Death Instinct in Evolution. Typed. Undated.

l The Future of a Dilemma. (complex, seemingly about “control” and “freedom“). Handwritten in

exercise book.

In the rear of the book is an unfinished treatise on religion and evolution.

m. Anonymous review in the Times Literary Supplement (13/5/55) of “The Burning Fountain” by

Professor Philip Wheelwright , under the title of “The Language of Symbolism”. Assumed to

be by Dr. Still - in those days Times reviewers were not named.

n. Poem from the Eton College Chronicle of 1 Oct 1965 “The New Curriculum: a Fantasy”

assumed to be by Dr Still, with references to Reading Schools.

Miscellaneous documents in Robert Still’s files

Newman Flower biography of Sullivan from which the excerpts are taken. Supporting

correspondence. Very fragile.

photograph” with the heads of many notables of the day superimposed on to bodies.

Fairly fragile.

u. Photo copies of a portrait of Robert Still, sketched at Rothenburg ob der Tauber by the proprietor

of the hotel, H. K. Adam, at which the Stills were staying. (According to Mrs Still it is very

John Wright - later a BMS member - and Robert Still were certainly acquainted

though to what degree Mrs Still does not know. Plainly the holding of this

recording has some significance. A BMS source, who knew Wright, speculates that

Still may have helped him with the composition (Wright was an amateur composer)

or possibly financially.

LYRITA DONATION

Lyrita Recorded Edition’s rich catalogue of recordings of British music, mainly in LP and cassette, was

unavailable for many years. The BMS was asked to assist with resuscitation in 2003 but the task was

beyond its management ability (see Section 1 Subject E Volume 3).

However, with a “comprehensive license agreement“, Wyastone Estate Ltd are releasing the entire

Lyrita catalogue. They kindly donated copies of its issues from January to April 2007 to Andrew

Knowles, on behalf of the BMS, as a “thank you” for the Society’s support through Lecture-Recitals

and NEWS. Subsequently, following discussions with BMS Chairman John Talbot, they have agreed to

provide 1 copy of the entire catalogue.

The following lists include the works performed but not artists or performers, which are in the

brochures. They are listed in numbered sequence, not in the order given in the brochures.

HENRY RUSSELL DONATION

Dr. Andrew Lamb, author of “A Life on the Ocean Wave”, has kindly donated a rare American

Nonsuch LP, “An Evening with Henry Russell”, to the BMS Archives, plus some sheet music in

support. See also NEWS 115.

Content of the LP

Side One

1. Cheer! Boys, Cheer! (Charles Mackay) UK 1850. Boisterous piece later adopted as a patriotic song

for troops going to the Crimea (1853-56)

2. Wind of the Winter Night (Charles Mackay) USA (?) 1835. Dramatic ballad.

3. My Heart’s in the Highlands (Robert Burns) USA 1837. Adapted for his performances (and

effectively stolen) from composer Henry Phillips.

4. The Old Arm Chair (Eliza Cook) USA 1840. Sentimental ballad.

5. The Ship on Fire (Charles Mackay) UK 1842. Sentimental but melodramatic scena.

Side Two

1. A Life on the Ocean Wave (Epes Sargent) USA 1938. Rollocking song.

2. Woodman! Spare that tree! (George Pope Morris). USA 1937. Sentimental ballad.

3. The Dream of the Reveller (Charles Mackay) UK 1843. Temperance song about the dangers

of alcohol.

4. The Ivy Green (“Boz”) USA 1938. Sentimental ballad.

5. The Maniac (G. M. Lewis & Hentry Russell). USA 1840. Song aimed at the abuses in private

lunatic asylums.

Details. Clifford Jackson (baritone), William Bolcom (piano). Jackson also reads exerpts from
