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?

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…🫢)

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...

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.

Looking forward to talking all things English Song tonight at the 1901 Arts Club. Music by
Finzi, Howells, Venables & Muhly.

Listening to some Sunday night Howells and making this face at each delicious chord, ie pretty much every other bar

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?

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)...

Very proud of @tomedney.bsky.social for his work editing AC-T's music. Who knows where a PhD will take you!?

T. S. Eliot's empty desk, with the chair pulled slightly out as if he has just stood up to leave.
T. S. Eliot died on this day in 1965. This photograph showing his empty desk was taken at the Faber office on Russell Square the day after Eliot's death.
