	God Save the Queen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scholes points out gross errors of date which render these claims untenable, and they have been ascribed to a 19th-century forgery, the Souvenirs of the Marquise de Créquy.
		Scholes refutes this attribution, firstly, on the grounds that Carey himself never made such a claim.
		It has also been claimed that the first public performance of the work was when Carey sang it during a dinner in 1740 in honour of Admiral Edward Vernon who had captured the Spanish harbour of Porto Bello (then in Colombia, now Panama) during the War of Jenkins' Ear.

		I very much enjoy Dr Scholes descriptions and they are truly entertaining and exhaustive.
		An example: I was recently (December 1998) asked by a fellow bass in the Collegium Musicum, Bremen on the origins of "God Save the Queen" and Dr Scholes promptly provides 6 pages of small print with 18 headings starting with "1.
		Whilst not presuming to be in the same universe as Dr Scholes, his book is an inspiration to me and is the role-model in my own scratchings.

	Review of The Oxford Companion to Music
		In the preface to his first edition of the Oxford Companion to Music (1938), Percy A. Scholes expressed the hope that the "five or six years of unremitting labour" he had devoted to its preparation would prove to have been well-spent.
		Scholes was probably the last of that breed of British encyclopedists and lexicographers whose personal dedication in their relentless quest for comprehensive information and knowledge continue to enrich the minds and the hearts of the inquisitive to this day.
		Scholes gave Zemlinsky quite short shrift, almost dismissive; Arnold’s entry by Paul Griffiths is somewhat better, but has no reading list; while the Latham entry by Tim Ashley is quite extensive, with two references to substantial further reading.

		The original `Companion' by Percy Scholes remains a favourite for its friendly unpompous helpfulness and portraits of the composers by `Batt'.
		To produce a one-volume compendium of music called for a single individual with a compendious enough knowledge of the matter, and Scholes was such an individual.
		I cannot suppose that the legendary lexicon of classical Greek was to any comparable extent the work solely of Mr Liddell and Mr Scott, who presumably had an army of hoplites, helots and slaves to do their donkey-work.

	Iberian early keyboard music,spanish harpsichord,organ music,DIVERSITY
		Percy Scholes, in his 1938 "Oxford Companion to Music" - still the standard music reference book for many- has little to say about early keyboard music from Spain and Portugal.
		However, since Scholes published his book, a good deal of Spanish and Portuguese music has been discovered.
		Most of it has not yet reached the repertoire, and the average music graduate is unaware of its existence, but we occasionally hear odd snippets on radio 3 and Classic FM.

		I remember dipping into it and finding disparaging entries on such oddities as the 'Lambeth Walk' (a chart-topper of the late 1930s) and being surprised at some of the sweeping judgements of its editor Percy Scholes.
		My 1958 edition retains Scholes' view that jazz is to serious music as daily journalism is to serious writing and perpetuates his sniping references to the drug using tendencies of jazz musicians.
		To an impressionable school-boy all this seemed to be rampantly idiosyncratic; I was perplexed that such stuff could be served up by a scholarly publisher when high school teachers were telling us to be coolly objective and to avoid value judgements in our essays.

		However, as Percy Scholes (1938) charmingly states it, as life is necessarily a compromise; perfect truth is unattainable, and so is perfect tuning.
		If we are to mix among men we shall, in conversation, often have to be satisfied to utter and hear hasty generalizations; and if in music we want to move easily amongst the keys (in both senses the tonalities and the ivories), we shall have to accept approximations (p.

		The early music volumes enchanted my father most – the performances by Arnold and Rudolph Dolmetsch opened his ears to the sound of early instruments – harpsichords, clavichords, lutes and viols.
		Under the influence of this work by Dolmetsch and Scholes he began transmitting to his students in the early 1950’s that early music and instruments had their own validity, and were not simply imperfect forerunners of subsequent technical and musical perfection.
		In this sense he was a pioneer, and his teaching influenced many generations of music students in Newcastle towards approaching early music with an open mind.

		The writing team, which includes original Companion author Percy Alfred Scholes (1877-1958) in selected, updated articles, has achieved what a single expert could not in today's expansive musical landscape: that is, it has provided comprehensive coverage of "Western classical music" in a single, reliable book.
		I believe the Alison Latham 2002 edition should be viewed as an updated supplement to the more substantial and lavish 1983 edition, not as a replacement.
		Denis Arnold's 1983 two-volume edition was the first complete revision since the original 1938 Oxford Companion to Music, edited (and largely written) by Percy Scholes; it is not perfect, but I think it represents the high-water mark of the three editions.

		It replaces both the classic single-volume Oxford Companion to Music by Percy Scholes, first published in 1938 and now in its tenth edition (1970), and the subsequent two-volume New Oxford Companion to Music, edited by Denis Arnold and published in 1983.
		The new edition draws on Arnold, but has a more concentrated focus on the Western classical tradition.

		Lord Balfour (British Prime Minister 1902-5) was in fact an ardent concertina player, and the explorers Shackleton and Livingstone both acquired Wheatstone concertinas (2).
		A number of sonatas, concertos and chamber works involving the concertina appeared in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, by composers including Tschaikovsky, Macfarren,Benedict, Percy Grainger, Charles Ives, Molique, Regondi and Silas (3).
		By the early years of the twentieth century, the concertina's popularity had broadened, giving rise to the working class concertina bands of England's northern mill towns, and the instrument also found a niche as a populist addition to the instrumentation of the Salvation Army band.

		Percy Grainger would probably be our most famous composer, but I haven't really investigated his gear.
		In the 1955 edition of the Oxford Companion to Music Percy Scholes damns him with faint praise, writing that his 'seemingly inexhaustible cantatas, Penitence, Pardon and Peace, and From Olivet to Calvary long enjoyed popularity, and still aid the devotions of undemanding congregations in less sophisticated areas.'
