A giant, who took British music studies seriously 🙁 #RIP

[Prof Ian Pace @drianpace]

Very sad to announce the death of doyen of British musicology and music analysis Arnold Whittall. He had been ill since the beginning of the year. I’m mourning not only an intellectual giant and valued mentor but also a close friend who we saw for the last time on Saturday.

It’s a #JohnMcCabe #Symphony2 day today. A work full of mystery, from 1971

In 1987 #RichardRodneyBennett’s #Symphony3 seemed to mark a huge pivot in his style but in fact #SonnetstoOrpheus (1979) is the true turning point. It’s great that this recording exists @RenaudMachart @BMusicSociety @jonathanclinch @BBCSSO
Great liner notes by @RichardBratby

@rwalterrust That's the bit in Hymnus Paradisi that really gets me.

The connections between this piece and #Lutosławski’s Livre pour orchestre (1968) are very striking … @RenaudMachart @rafalluc

Jonathan’s essay on Herbert Howells’ Elegy for Viola, String Quartet and String Orchestra has been published in the collection ‘Music, Mortality, Memory‘ from Brill. https://t.co/n0BMfoh7Q0 3/3

[Dr Jonathan Clinch @jonathanclinch]

The Elegy is both historical artefact and living ritual. Each performance re-enacts a “performative utterance against death,” accumulating new meaning over time. Rather than rupturing with tradition, it evolves... 1/3
