Campion Cameo (Cameo Cat. No. 2086) British Composer Series. Playing time over 77 minutes. Available on Amazon OR FROM ME DIRECTLY (£14.30 inc. P&P) CLASSIC FM Home Page: "Light Music trifles to brighten the winter". Classic FM 'Drive' Featured Album, 12-16 January, 2015. Tracks played: Bavarian Village Wedding Dance; Chanson D'Ete (violoncello soloist, James Potter); Celebration Gigue; Four Acres Rondo (clarinet soloist, Ian Scott); Drifting Under Sail:- "In terms of recordings, Christopher Irvin - born in 1953 - is one of the more under-represented composers of light music. That's now remedied with this album from the ever-reliable Royal Ballet Sinfonia, conducted by a champion of the genre, Gavin Sutherland. Irvin's music is, by definition and intention, light, undemanding and very old-fashioned. While his melodies may not have the immediacy or the longevity of such masters of Light Music as Binge or Ketelbey, there are some stand-out moments to be enjoyed here. Listen out in particular for a superb violin solo by the Sinfonia's leader Robert Gibbs on Arden Airs, and an excellent clarinet part on Four Acres Rondo". A review by Neil Patrick has also appeared in the Light Music Society Magazine: It would have been interesting if the 13 tracks on this extremely enjoyable 74 minute CD had been presented in chronological order of composition (roughly as above) illuminating how Irvin finds his own exhuberent voice in 2011 with his Summer Promenade (my favourite track along with Elegy for a Gardener). His early works (written as incidental or programme music and of course heard here out of context) as less risky and more self-effacing than those written more recently, but every number has its own appeal in this bouncy and cheerful compilation. Light music is reassuringly alive and well in West Yorkshire! Some of the incidental pieces here last for five minutes or more and can struggle to sustain the listener's interest for that length of time, but most can claim originality and ambition. Irvin also tends towards an over-reliance on timpani, especially during cadential episodes but, let's face it, so did Beethoven. The recording is all you would want it to be although solo instruments sometime struggle to be heard (such as the violin of leader Robert Gibbs at the closing of Arden Airs) but the virtuoso orchestra is kept on their toes by our Chairman. The disc comes with a very helpful insert containing a description by the composer of each piece and I can think of no better Christmas present for the light music enthusiast.

Th Story of H.B. Farnie by Keith Drummond Sharp. HENRY BROUGHAM FARNIE (1836 -1889) was a teacher, writer and journalist in mid-Victorian Fife (Scotland), until his scandalous private life caused him to flee to London. While at first continuing as a journalist, he began writing for the theatre and made the adaptation of French opera bouffe his chosen field. Almost single-handedly he made the genre popular, and popular enough to compete strongly with Gilbert and Sullivan's new English operetta. He had more big hits on the London stage than any of his contemporaries and his best shows were constantly revived in the Edwardian period and between the wars, and were popular throughout the English-speaking world. Then he was forgotten until his pantomime in collaboration with Offenbach, WHITTINGTON, the only show Offenbach ever did to an English text, was revived as a 'millenium' special. But he was a significant figure in the theatre of his day. The Queme Press in conjunction with The Fife Family History Society (2010) pp220, coloured pictorial wraps £8.50 NEW BOOK : MAY FORTESCUE "Substantial Damages" by Tony Joseph. May Fortescue (1859-1950) was born Emily May Finney, the daughter of a London coal merchant. She joined the D'Oyly Carte Gilbert and Sullivan Company in 1881 for the initial run of PATIENCE, in which she created the small part of Lady Ella. When IOLANTHE replaced PATIENCE she created the small part of Celia. She left D'Oyly Carte in 1883. In 1885 she formed - and found fame with - her own theatrical company. Meanwhile, though, she had taken her first step into the limelight by becoming engaged to a young aristocrat, Arthur Cairns, Viscount Garmoyle. When, a few months later, Garmoyle jilted her, it made her a celebrity. And when, shortly after that, she sued him for breach of promise, her celebrity status became tinged with noteriety. "When a woman brings an action of this sort, having for its object the acquisition of hard cash, she place herself beyond the pale of delicacy and sympathy. She cannot serve sentiment and mammon. The indignation which one feels against the faithless deceiver is very much moderated when the forlorn maiden takes upon herself to revenge her own woes." (The Era, 1884) It was like TRIAL BY JURY being played out in real life. D'Oyly Carte Personalities Series, 9 pp128.

ALEXANDER MACKENZIE: (1847-1935) ALS (single-fold on three sides) to Henry Lytton April 23 1902 from 15, Regent's Park Road, N.W. (resix songs THE CRICKET ON THE HEARTH 1st performed 1914) I fear that the suggestion of letting the music be heard on the orchestra is impossible. As I have done nothing more since I send you the voice parts. You will find that I say that I could not do anything further until I knew how the keys fitted the vocalists. Nor could I write any of the introductions or melos (all this would be quite a lot, I fancy) until I had satisfied myself on this point You had better see whether they (the Directors) would care to hear the bare six numbers with Piano accompt. with the vocalists of course. (These would be necessary in any case) This proposal could be managed by Monday week doubtless, and seems to me the only way out of it : if they are in a hurry. But I couldnt undertake to finish the score by anything like this time. You had better see to this at once and let me know. With kind regards, A.C. Mackenzie H.A. Lytton Esq. I've been wretchedly unwell all this time and quite unfit for work. Just beginning to feel a little better. I cant write the music within a copy of the book, which I send back to you.
