Symphony No. 1 (Havergal Brian) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Havergal Brian's Symphony No. 1 in D minor (The Gothic) was composed between 1919 and 1927, and partly owes its notoriety to being the largest symphony ever composed (described thus by the Guinness Book of Records). The Havergal Brian Society have a number of essays and further detail on the symphony. Attempts to perform the symphony have frequently met with failure, beginning with the efforts of Hamilton Harty and Eugene Goossens in the depression-affected 1930s and enduring to the current day, usually owing to the extreme logistics of the work. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Symphony_No._1_(Havergal_Brian)   (1493 words)

BRIAN Symphony No 1 (Gothic) NAXOS 8.557418-419 [RB] [JF] : Classical CD Reviews- June 2004 MusicWeb(UK) The Sixth is compact but outstanding - possibly the next best Brian symphony but it is still consigned to vinyl perdition on a Lyrita LP (c/w No 16) LPO/Myer Fredman. Brian had both ambition and preternatural ability and this Symphony is the evidence. Brian’s Gothic is a massive asseveration of confidence by someone who stood as an outsider to the musical establishment unblessed with private resources or a public school education let alone a formal musical training. www.musicweb.uk.net /classrev/2004/Jun04/Brian_Gothic.htm   (2531 words)

Langdon Jones - Brian, Gothic Symphony Despite the difficulties of obtaining a performance, one wonders why this symphony in particular, and Brian's music in general, is not far more popular. Havergal Brian was a British composer, and when writing of his life or his works, you find yourself having to use superlatives. The symphony has, so far as I know, only been performed a handful of times, and one of those occasions was in Sheffield Town Hall where, apparently, most of the room was taken up by performers, leaving very little space for the audience. www.langdonjones.com /brian.html   (577 words)

The first movement of Brian's Gothic Symphony opens in the key of d minor; thus it is proper to indicate that it is a d minor symphony. www.good-music-guide.com /forum/index.php?topic=5409.15   (2400 words)

BRIAN Symphony No 1 NAXOS 8.557418/9 [PSe]: Classical CD Reviews- July 2004 MusicWeb(UK) Brian’s seems to have been a somewhat special case: he was one of those, neither directly involved in the fighting nor just supporting the war effort from the comparative safety of home. Brian, who was not at all religious, suggested that the Te Deum actually forced itself upon him, ousting his originally-intended setting of the end of Goethe’s Faust. In 1934, when Brian was already in his late fifties, Tovey admonished that establishment with the words, 'even for the recognition of his smaller works he is being made to wait. www.musicweb.uk.net /classrev/2004/July04/Brian1.htm   (4779 words)

Havergal Brian When I mention “Havergal Brian”, most people ask me, “Who?” – he is one of the unrecognised masters of 20th century music, notable for composing 32 symphonies, 5 operas, and a variety of other works in a very long lifetime. His first symphony, also known as the »Gothic«, is (in)famous for being the largest symphony ever composed, and was slated for its Australian premiére at the Brisbane Festival in late 2004. In his own lifetime Havergal Brian was the most prolific composer of symphonies since Joseph Haydn (he has since been surpassed by Alan Hovhaness), but most of the works are unfairly overshadowed by the notoriety of the Gothic. www.carringbush.net /~pml/music/brian   (344 words)

If we look back 40 or so years ago when stereo was really just taking hold, there were no integral recordings of the Bruckner or Mahler symphonies, no stereo Ring cycle until Decca finished the still-remarkable Solti set in 1965, few bel canto operas, and most baroque music unrecorded. No, the reason I no longer attend Catholic services is because in the end, the Church continues to treat the laity as sheep whose job remains simply to "pray, pay, and obey."

Dean's Den: Fugues and Fugue Sets Symphony No. 2 ("Mysterious Mountain", 1955, 2nd movement is a double fugue). While sketching the cycle, the composer decided to base it on his own so-called 'Series 1': the twelve semitones are related to a central keynote according their place in the harmonic series.

Amazon.ca: Symphony No. 1 : Music Mahler's Third Symphony or Schoenberg's "Gurre-Lieder" are two works that come to mind when trying to present novices with repertory pieces with which to compare Havergal Brian's Gothic Symphony. Purchasing this set and listening to all that this work has to offer is an excellent way not only to spend money, but also to learn about the cavernous musical territory that Havergal Brian charted. The symphony's length is not terribly daunting if one compares it to the Mahler symphonies or a night at the opera for a performance of Wagner's "Parsifal" or Messiaen's "St Francis of Assisi." www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000045VT   (472 words)

Classics Today.com - Your Online Guide to Classical Music Standing in line before me at Tower Records, Lincoln Center, was the New York chapter of the Havergal Brian Society. Eventually I got this recording, along with a score for good measure, and was able to enjoy what remains the only acceptable performance of this monstrous, impossible symphony. Yes, his music is quirky, truculent, rhythmically clunky, and not big on catchy tunes, but he has an original voice and I suspect there are more riches awaiting discovery. www.classicstoday.com /review.asp?ReviewNum=8010   (440 words)
