Teaching Romantic history today.

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…🫢)

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.

Very proud of @tomedney.bsky.social for his work editing AC-T's music. Who knows where a PhD will take you!?
Reflecting on the amazing three days with @jkaconductor.bsky.social, Samantha Ege, and BBC Philharmonic recording some of the orchestral works of Avril Coleridge-Taylor. So excited to hear the finished product and it to be shared with the world! You’re all in for such a treat.
