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.

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

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) .

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.

there is a number 2 it is retained here.

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

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

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 -

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.

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

p. Towards a National Attitude to Crime by R Money-Kyrle. 1952. (M-K is quoted in b.) Typed

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

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.

REV. GREVILLE COOKE & LEON LIVENS DONATIONS

Miscellaneous documents including compositions and writings (both musical and non-musical) by Rev
Greville Cooke, donated by Frances Purchas *. Consequently Colin Scott- Suterland extended the
range to include Leon Livens because they were both students of Thomads Matthay.
The 2 volumes are not in chronological order because of the mixed sizes. In general, one contains the
larger books, and the other the sheet music and smaller material.. But that is not 100% the rule.

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
Russell’s memoirs before some of the songs, and his singing doubtless reflects the style and standards
of Russell’s entertaiments. Sleeve notes by Charles Hamm - well worth reading, with particular
reference to those songs with Italian-style piano introductions.
The original has been transferred to CD for longevity and security purposes. “Clicks” have been
removed. Both are held.
Content of the sheet music
Come, Brothers, Arouse (W. G. Barnard)
I’m Afloat, or the Rover’s Song, plus a new song for the Yacht Clubs (Eliza Cook)
Believe not the tales they have told of me, a descriptive ballad (Leigh Cliffe)
The Happy Days of Childhood , a ballad (George Pendrill)
Come Fill the Cup, a Bacchanalian song (Henry John Sharpe)
The Fine Old Colour’d Gentleman, a Negro Melody
The Old Jaw-Bones, a Negro Melody (the words altered and adapted by F. A.D.)
