Highlights of this year’s English Music Festival include world première performances of important works by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Henry Walford Davies; a rare opportunity to hear Arthur Sullivan’s cantata The Golden Legend, masterpieces by Elgar, Moeran and Bax, and a ‘last night’ celebration concert boasting no fewer than eight new commissions.
The Seventh English Music Festival will take place in and around Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire over the weekend of 24th – 27th May 2013. Once again, the Festival showcases works which were box office hits during their day, but which have since fallen into unaccountable neglect.
The opening concert on Friday 24th May in Dorchester Abbey, featuring the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Martin Yates (and broadcast on BBC Radio 3), contains three significant world premières. The first of these is the previously unpublished early Serenade in A Minor by Ralph Vaughan Williams; a gorgeous work that Martin Yates has recently recorded for the Dutton Epoch label to great acclaim. This five-movement work, composed in 1898, was in fact the composer’s first for orchestra, and it gives a fascinating insight into Vaughan Williams’s early style prior to the influences of folk song and Tudor polyphony which permeated his later work.
The programme will also include Vaughan Williams’s early tone poem, The Solent (from the unpublished suite In the New Forest), dating from 1903-04. According to Vaughan Williams’s biographer, Michael Kennedy, one of the themes in this work appeared to be a favourite of the composer’s and re-appeared in his Sea Symphony and again, at the end of his career, in the Symphony No 9.
The second half of the concert features the first performance of the substantial Symphony No 2 by Sir Henry Walford Davies (1869-1941). The concert opens, in English Music Festival tradition, with Parry’s Jerusalem and also includes Britten’s effervescent Canadian Carnival and Holst’s atmospheric A Winter Idyll.
Saturday’s main evening concert gives the opportunity to hear one of the important and impressive works to have come from the pen of Sir Arthur Sullivan (usually more famously associated with WS Gilbert). A complete and rare performance of The Golden Legend will be performed by the English Symphony Orchestra, conducted by John Andrews, with soloists Elena Xanthoudakis, Jean Rigby, Daniel Norman and Grant Doyle. This substantial cantata, setting words by Longfellow, was composed for the 1886 Leeds Music Festival, and its success was testified to by countless performances in Britain, America and beyond. Indeed, until the end of the 20th century it was so frequently given in Britain that only Handel’s Messiah was performed more often, as The Golden Legend surpassed even Mendelssohn’s Elijah in popularity. This English Music Festival performance will be the first professional revival since Sir Charles Mackerras conducted a centenary performance in Leeds in 1986.
Another notable performance will take place during the morning concert on Saturday 25th. In recent years Rupert Marshall-Luck and Matthew Rickard have given a succession of performances of neglected English pieces for violin and piano. This year the Sonata No. 3 by Harold Darke will be under the spotlight. Their programme will also include music by Havergal Brian, Britten, Delius and Howells.
The English Music Festival has always been keen to showcase our country’s rich choral heritage and this year the Elysian Singers will perform a programme of choral works by Parry and Stanford in the beautiful Chapel at Radley College, near Abingdon on the afternoon of Sunday 26th May. The music will be set in context with readings, including extracts from letters by the composers.
For the evening concert back in Dorchester Abbey, Hilary Davan Wetton will conduct his City of London Choir in John Gardner’s Stabat Mater, as well as works by Britten, Dyson and Finzi, ending with Vaughan Williams’s ever-popular Five Mystical Songs.
The closing concert on Bank Holiday Monday, 27th May, will be devoted entirely to works commissioned for the occasion. This follows the success of our first New Commissions Concert which took place during the Second English Music Festival in 2008. This year’s programme will include a Symphony by David Owen Norris and orchestral works by Richard Blackford, Paul Lewis, Christopher Wright, Philip Lane, and Ben Palmer who is also conducting the concert with his Orchestra of St. Paul’s. He will be joined by Rupert Marshall-Luck for two works for violin and orchestra; composed by Paul Carr and David Matthews. This is a unique and unmissable concert, and a fitting conclusion to this year’s Festival and to Founder-Director Em Marshall-Luck’s vision to continue to commission individual new works in the English tradition.
Other programmes include a piano recital by Duncan Honeybourne, featuring Bax’s Piano Sonata No 3 alongside works by Moeran, Fleischmann, Britten and Howells; evocative music for strings by Bantock, Alwyn and Ireland performed by the London Chamber Strings and conducted by Sir Granville Bantock’s Great-grandson, Bjorn Bantock; and late-evening light music by Noel Coward, Ivor Novello, Elgar, Delius and Ketelby amongst others.
A convenient mini-bus transfer is available to/from Didcot station, Dorchester-on-Thames and other venues; see website time-table for details.

The great Goethe, when in his sixties, fell under the spell of Hafiz, the 14th century Persian poet. Hafiz’s poetry inspired Goethe to create the ‘West-Östlicher Divan’ – a collection of love poems, epigrams and drinking songs. Goethe’s verses in turn inspired composers such as Franz Schubert and Felix Mendelssohn, while poems of Hafiz were set to music by Hugo Wolf and Richard Strauss. Join us as we explore Europe’s century-long love affair with the Orient through poetry, painting and song.

Nick van Bloss was born in London and began piano lessons at the age of 11. His musical training began as a chorister at Westminster Abbey and he entered the Royal College of Music at the age of 15 as a Junior, attending full time from the age of 17, studying with Yonty Solomon and winning prizes for his playing. Further studies were with Benjamin Kaplan. In 1987, on hearing him play, the great Russian virtuoso, Tatiana Nikoleyeva, described van Bloss as the ‘finished article of a pianist’.n 1994, aged 26, Nick van Bloss played a televised recital in Poland at the Chopin Festival. This proved to be his last public appearance before he retired from playing completely for 15 years. During these years van Bloss rarely touched a piano, but he did write his autobiographical memoir ‘Busy Body’, which was published, to much acclaim, in 2006. The following year he was the subject of a BBC ‘Horizon’ documentary, inspired by his book, exploring his creativity. This documentary led to interest in his piano playing and, in 2008, he began a series of recordings with award-winning producer Michael Haas, beginning with Bach’s monumental ‘Goldberg’ Variations, and including a recording of Bach’s Keyboard Concertos with the English Chamber Orchestra.
In April 2009, van Bloss made a ‘comeback’ concert at London’s Cadogan Hall, playing a concerto by Bach and Beethoven’s ‘Emperor’ Concerto with the English Chamber Orchestra. The concert, uniformly reviewed as a ‘Triumph’ by London’s critics, attracted massive media interest from all over the globe.
Since then, van Bloss has performed in the UK and the United States, with the English Chamber Orchestra, and directing concertos from the keyboard. He has also released two universally acclaimed CD recordings (Bach: Goldberg Variations and Bach; Keyboard Concertos with the English Chamber Orchestra) for Nimbus Records as part of a long-term agreement. His third CD, of major works by Chopin, will be released in early 2013. Recent performances include an all Mozart recital at Bunka Kaikan Hall Tokyo as part of a Japan Tour with recitals and concertos, and the coming season will see recitals in Stockholm and in Miami (Miami International Piano Festival), and recitals and concertos in London. A feature film about his life is currently in development. Nick will make his Vienna Musikverein debut on December 10 2013 playing the Mozart D minor Piano Concerto with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra.
Founded by cellist Dietrich Bethge in 1988 from London’s leading musicians, London Octave aims to approach the baroque and classical repertoire in a fresh and vital manner, often without a conductor, but principally for the players’ own enjoyment and the enjoyment of the audience.
Through their regular London season at St Martin-in-the-Fields, the South Bank and on BBC Radio 3, London Octave has attracted a loyal following of concert goers who appreciate their vitality and virtuosity. This, coupled with their programmes based on major and accessible works, has established them as one of the leading chamber orchestras in Britain. The members, many of whom have distinguished individual careers, frequently take turns as soloists and leading musicians are often invited to work with the ensemble. During recent seasons, artists include John Lill, Nick van Bloss, William Bennett, Crispian Steele Perkins, Lorraine McAslan, Yvgeny Sudbin, James Bowman, The Tallis Chamber Choir.
Recently London Octave has taken part in CD recordings with James Bowman (counter-tenor) and given a concert Istanbul’s Is-Sanat Hall with William Bennett (flute).
London Octave’s CD, Better Baroque, featuring well known baroque masterpieces received great acclaim, being described as, “an absolute gem full of sparkle and wit” in Metro. Time Out commented, “Forget the routine baroque, this is better baroque”. Dutton recently released a new CD by London Octave (conductor Kypros Markou) featuring works by the early 20th century American composers A.Foote and V.Herbert.
