	Newbury String Players - geraldfinzi.org
		Newbury String Players were formed in the dark war winter of 1940 by Gerald Finzi at a concert given in Enborne Church, when live music had been shut down.
		He was convinced of the importance of this work and since his death in 1956 Christopher, his elder son, a freelance professional cellist at the time, took on the conducting of the Strings and their weekly rehearsals throughout the year.
		Joy Finzi, the mainstay of the strings, added to the pattern of life which was to form a successful career in music for me (such was the insight of Gerald Finzi who first suggested it).

		Strings intone slow diatonic, triadic chords; a solo trumpet asks the question seven times; the flutes try to answer the question, each time getting more and more agitated and atonal.
		One group is an unspecified number of strings, another group is a flute quartet (clarinet and/or oboe may substitute for some of the flutes), and the trumpet part may be played by English horn, oboe, or clarinet.
		When the principal theme finally arrives, it is introduced by the lower strings; in contrast, the winds present the second themea peppy march in dotted rhythm.

	Gerald Finzi - Five Bagatelles, OP23, for clarinet and strings (arr. L. Ashmore)
		Gerald Finzi was born in London and studied with numerous distinguished musicians including R. Morris and Adrian Boult before teaching composition at the RAM from 1930-33.
		In 1939 he founded a string orchestra in Newbury and continued to direct it throughout the war years, which he spent working for the Ministry of Transport.
		This arrangement for string ensemble was made for Richard Stoltzman in 1992 by Lawrence Ashmore, who played under the composer in the Newbury String Players and studied informally with him at his Hampshire home.

	Newbury Spring Festival Window
		Naturally, in a window about the cultural life of Newbury, I had to include myself - I couldn't really have another painter in it, could I? Behind the easel is a version of the brass of Jack of Newbury in St Nicolas Church, and a reference to the Newbury Mosaic.
		Here he is seen as conductor of Newbury String Players as he did intermittently until his death in 1956.
		The window to be replaced was in the Town Hall, right in the centre of Newbury, and the proposal was to have the design ready to display on the eve of the final concert in the festival when all sponsors and trustees would be present.

	Somerset Chamber Orchestra 1999 - Programme Notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Finzi was an indifferent pianist and did not sing, and so this string orchestra became his personal means of expression, giving him deep insights into, and an affinity with, the nuances of string technique and texture.
		The Romance is in the key of E flat, the same key as the String Romance, associated in Finzi's music with a particular "mellowness of sonority and figuration or with romance and memory" (Stephen Banfield).
		She was a founder-member, and remains principal second violin, of the internationally-acclaimed Guildhall String Ensemble with whom she has performed all over the world, including broadcasts on BBC Radio 3, regular performances on the South Bank in London and recordings with RCA.

	Sleeve Notes - Milford: Fishing by Moonlight
		The score was published by OUP in 1951 and first performed by the dedicatee with the Newbury String Orchestra conducted by Finzi at Christmas 1947, and again in November 1952.
		Written for the Jacques String Orchestra and its conductor Reginald Jacques, this suite for strings dates from 1950 and was clearly intended to mark the Festival of Britain in 1951.
		Two related themes heard over the dancing strings are repeated in various guises and then together, Milford constantly elaborating the music into a new phase, before the slow introduction suddenly returns cutting the flow, followed by a spirited gesture of dismissal.

	Gerald Finzi: Biography
		His first published work was 'By Footpath and Stile' (1921-22), a song-cycle for baritones and string quartet to texts by Thomas Hardy, whose work Finzi greatly admired.
		But rural and musical isolation soon became oppressive and in 1926 he moved back to London and began to study with RO Morris, one of the outstanding British teachers of the inter-war years.
		He founded the Newbury String Players, initially using local amateurs, reviving much neglected 18th Century string music as well as giving several premieres by his contemporaries.

		For example, string players have an enlarged representation for the digits of their left hand, and this enlargement is greater the earlier the age at which instruction began (see Briefly Noted, this issue) (9).
		Their study, "Increased cortical representation of the fingers of the left hand in string players", used a type of brain scan, Magnetic Source Imaging, to measure the amount of cerebral cortex that receives stimulation from the fingers of the left hand.
		They found that the cortical representation of the digits of the left hand of string players was larger than that in controls.

		Britten questioned Brain about the horn’s technical characteristics, and one of the results was the prologue and epilogue of the Serenade, which the horn plays solo, entirely in the instrument’s natural harmonics, without the use of the valves.
		A funeral march in the strings is answered by the tenor at the top of his range.
		Finzi composed the Romance, scored for solo violin and string orchestra, in 1928 and revised it, probably in 1951, before its publication in 1952.

		Cello Classics and the cellists of The London Mozart Players have taken their palpable joy a step further here and provided the connoisseur and music lover with a benchmark recording of some of the classics of the repertoire.
		It¹s a haunting account that captures a young player at the height of her powers, playing with a fervour and an intensity that remains uniquely cherishable.
		Apart from occasional flaws of intonation and ensemble within the small string group, the sympathetic orchestral contribution is suitably balanced and the recorded sound has ample bloom and resonance; the harpsichord sounds more like a fortepiono.

		Here he was to demonstrate his sense of drama and interest in stage works which was to become more sustained in later works and he was so highly thought of by the musical establishment of the time that Sir Hugh Allen, then principal of the RCM, attended the concert.
		A move in 1932 to Newbury to be near his composer friends resulted in a new home and a teaching post at Downe House Girls School at Cold Ash but constant financial worries made it necessary for him to continue his duties at Ludgrove School at the same time.
		Vaughan Williams too, had not forgotten Milford and arranged a concert of his works at the Wigmore Hall on 3 June 1957, and his smaller works continued to be published by OUP and Novello.

	Robert Still 20th Century English Composer
		The conductor of the Newbury Choral Society, John Russell, professor of piano at the RCM, was a friend and this connection enabled him to use the young Heather Harper and John Carol Case for his next recording, released in1959.
		The premier of 'A Summers Night' ('Elegie for Baritone, Chorus and Small Orchestra') was by the Newbury Choral Society in 1958, with Gordon Clinton, baritone, the Newbury String Players and Newbury Amateur Orchestral Union under John Russell.
		The strings introduce a first theme, with the gradual addition of other instruments, before a second theme is introduced by flutes and violins, this becoming extended and developed before the movement ends with a muted trumpet solo.

		During the twenties he was taught counterpoint by R.O. Morris and came to notice with works like the orchestral miniature A Severn Rhapsody (1923), and a song-cycle to poems by his favourite poet Thomas Hardy, By Footpath and Stile (1921-2).
		Finzi’s reputation grew during the 1930s with performances of his Hardy song-sets A Young Man’s Exhortation (1926-9), and Earth and Air and Rain (1928-32), and was consolidated with the premiere in 1940 of his cantata for high voice and strings Dies natalis (mid 1920s, 1938-9).
		During World War II Finzi worked at the Ministry of War Transport and founded a fine, mainly amateur orchestra, the Newbury String Players.

		In four movements and lasting about 15 minutes, the piece is a showpiece, not only for the horn but the string players as well.

		The title was researched by the composer's friend the musician and environmental campaigner Neil Chaffey, who knew personally many of the Newbury protesters at the time of their struggle.
