Orga nist of Gloucester Cathedral from 1896 till his death in 1928, as well as composer, choir-trainer, adjudicator and teacher, Sir Herbert Brewer was involved for over three decades with the Three Choirs Festival, and his Memories of Choirs and Cloisters offers a vivid account of the planning and execution of the festivals in that time, those at Gloucester in particular.

Though his professional life was spent exclusively in the provinces, his championing of contemporary music brought him into wide contact with composers and other artistic figures both from Britain and the continent, including Robert Bridges, Elgar, Glazunov, Rider Haggard, Parry, Quiller-Couch, Ravel, Saint-Saens and Sibelius (whose Luonnotar he premiered). John Morehen's fine new edition places Brewer's lively and insightful recollections of these and other encounters and connections in context for the modern reader, making the book an important addition to our fuller understanding of a remarkable period in British music.

Neither a conventional autobiography nor a diary, but a collection of reminiscences compiled towards the end of his life, Brewer's Memories reveals a scrupulous and astute musician of great integrity, warm-hearted with a devotion to social justice and civic duty, and with a mischievous sense of humour.

Rebel, Rock Star, Rambler, Rogue. Composed by Mick Jagger, Mark Spitz. Artist/Personality; Reference Textbooks; Textbook - General. Pop; Pop/Rock; Rock. Book. Alfred Music #74-1592407347. Published by Alfred Music (AP.74-1592407347).

ISBN 9781592407347. English. [Mick Jagger] By Mark Spitz.

A culturally astute, often funny, and painstakingly researched read, Jagger offers a far richer portrait than biographies published previously. The book reveals much about his relationships (with Marianne Faithfull and ex-wives Bianca Jagger and Jerry Hall); his complex, creative partnership with Keith Richards; his friends like John Lennon and David Bowie; and enemies like Hells Angels leader Sonny Barger. Spitz goes even deeper, exploring Jagger's many roles: an authentic soul man; powerful social commentator; sexual liberator; would-be movie star; and yes, sometimes, a shrewd businessman with an enthusiasm for much younger women. The myth of Mick is examined and rebooted for the twenty-first century.

The thrills of downhill skiing inspired Carter Pann’s SLALOM, originally a multi-prize winning orchestral work, and well-loved in the composer’s own wind ensemble scoring. This tone poem flashes through sections including First Run, Open Meadow, Champagne Powder, Straight Down, Tuck, and On One Ski, Gyrating.Pann’s program note explains, The work is performed at a severe tempo throughout, showcasing the wind ensemble’s volatility and endurance. The work is presented as a collection of scenes and events one might come by on the slopes. In this way SLALOM shares its programmatic feature with that of Richard Strauss’ Alpine Symphony.
Slalomxa0was originally written for orchestra in 1998-99 as a scherzo perpetuo. It was to be a chance to flex my orchestration muscle to a degree I had not yet reached. In 2001 conductor John Lynch was seeking to commission a new work for wind symphony, and we agreed thatxa0Slalomxa0could make an attractive addition to the repertoire. Arranging the piece for wind symphony has proven my most astute compositional act to date.Slalomxa0is a taste of the thrill of downhill skiing. The work is performed at a severe tempo throughout, showcasing the orchestra’s volatility and endurance. The idea for a piece like this came directly out of a wonderful discovery I made several years ago at Steamboat Springs, Colorado, when I embarked on the mountain-base gondola with a cassette player and headphones. At the time I was treating myself to large doses of Shostakovich’sxa0Tenth Symphonyxa0and Rachmaninoff’sxa0Sympho nic Dances.xa0The exhilaration of barreling down the Rockies with such music pumping into my ears was overwhelming. After a few years of skiing with some of the greatest repertoire, it occurred to me that I could customize the experience.The work is presented as a collection of scenes and events one might come by on the slopes. The score is peppered with phrase-headings for the different sections such as “First Run”, “Open Meadow, Champagne Powder”, “Straight Down, Tuck” and “On One Ski, Gyrating ” among others. In this way SLALOMxa0shares its programmatic feature with that ofxa0Richard Strauss’xa0Alpine Symphony.xa0The similarities end there, however, forxa0SLALOMxa0lasts ten minutes ... precisely the amount of time I need to get from Storm Peak (the peak of Mt. Werner, Steamboat Springs) to the mountain base, skiing full throttle.
