Ah sorry! Didn't notice the glaring autocorrect 😅 I meant the Mukle family.

A social loss, creating a gap in society which will not readily be filled up & which will be keenly felt by a numerous and widely-spread circle of sorrowing friends, was caused by the decease of –‘ who in 1888? Find out at tinyurl.com/y4dme5k9

Lovely! I shall try to keep this up too - great way to get to know new books! First one coming up…

This month’s Good Food magazine and its insert. 🤔😅

Census data has huge potential for understanding C19 female composers. I’m finding so many lived in neighbourhoods surrounded by other m/c female professionals.
The global connections of them & their neighbours also striking.

@joshrhodes.bsky.social article’s v exciting with huge possibilities.

YES - and also lived together. The ankle family all moved out from their parents together and lived in one house until their careers took off and split them geographically.

I have it somewhere but haven’t got to it yet.

Love Leginska. Great conductor along with everything else she could do.
Is the polytonal piece Gargoyles?

Yes! A happy day spent deciphering stuff. Kate clearly wrote in a hurry, rather like she lived…

I had an amazing day with the Macirone archive at the Bodleian Library today. What an amazing woman Clara was! Looking forward to sharing more about her. #womeninmusic #musichistory #womencomposers #womenandperformance

Thank you, Lady Thompson! (I held one of your letters to Clara Macirone in my hand today - had a bit of a fan girl moment… 😅)

Who is this, and what was her relationship to the #RoyalAcademyofMusic? Find out at SalonRebooted’s new blog post on tinyurl.com/y4dme5k9 about the long and colourful life of an ex-Academy student (entered 1824) #womeninmusic #singer #musichistory

I tried to annoy my 12yo today at the breakfast table by singing him Baby Shark, but have only succeeded in lodging it in my own head 😅

This project looks terrific: abolitionist songs and the Black British community

I seem to be juggling lots of balls at the moment - all really exciting, but I need an organised mind! Where to start when you've uncovered so much fabulous music...

A simple head to shoulders sketch of a young Fanny Dickens, with ringlets falling on each side of her face.

C19 parents were strategic: in the 1820s Fanny Dickens’ parents sent her to train at the Royal Academy of Music, tho could ill afford it. She later taught there as a sub-professor in harmony. Her bro Charles however was taken out of school aged 12 to work in a factory. (He later wrote novels…)
