Teaching Romantic history today.

I love how discussion of the 19th-century Pianist-Composer (and the subsequent transition into Pianist-as-Interpreter) turned into a discussion of the Pianist-as-Visionary, then and now.

How many visionary musicians have you heard recently?

Thank you!

Playing Howells: The Paean Problem I recently tried an experiment. I downloaded a metronome app that allowed me to use presets and programmed it for the various tempos in Herbert Howells’ 1940 ‘Paean’ for organ. I then practised a l…

Your blog on this piece, and Howells’ tempo markings in it, is wonderfully insightful… a must-read to all who play this work. (Though it may mean fewer performances, at least from discerning players…🫢)

Golly, you must have some grim conversations. I'm amazed that people keep campaigning in the face of such ignorance. It's only human to be frustrated.

Just finished a first draft of an essay on Elizabeth Maconchy's orchestral works. The more I study, the more I think she was a total genius...

Marking the anniversary of the death of Herbert Howells with his Paean...playing from the copy he gave to Sir David Willcocks... ❤️

Ruairi Bowen and Simon Lepper, Thiman: I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud YouTube video by jamesblackmanagement

A beautiful song for the 50th anniversary of Eric Thiman's death. An inspiring musician, particularly for me, teaching harmony at RAM almost a century later. Songs, chamber music and a significant body of church music.

Madness. An outstanding music department (along with many others) is just going to be thrown in the bin.
Have we lost all sense of value today?

7 hours of teaching 😃 98% coffee

Surreal to be teaching English Song, which sets poems from the Golden Treasury, in Palgrave's former home (now part of RAM).

A new year virus has floored me this week, but the recovery time has been made infinitely better by the energy and life in Elizabeth Maconchy's orchestral works (book chapter hopefully coming soon)...
