Reginald Jacques was also conductor of the Oxford Orchestra Society from 1930 to 1936. From 1931 to 1960 he was conductor of The Bach Choir in London. In 1936 he founded his own Jacques Orchestra, which he conducted until 1960. In 1954 he was made Commander of the Order of the British Empire. He died in 1969. John Rutter was born in London in 1945 and studied music at Clare College, Cambridge. His compositions embrace choral, orchestral, and instrumental music, and he has edited or co-edited various choral anthologies, including four Carols for Choirs volumes with Sir David Willcocks and the Oxford Choral Classics series. From 1975 to 1979 he was Director of Music at Clare College, and in 1981 he formed his own choir, the Cambridge Singers. He now divides his time between composition and conducting and is sought after as a guest conductor for the world's leading choirs and orchestras. Born in 1919, David Willcocks began his musical career as a chorister at Westminster Abbey, later winning scholarships to Clifton College and King's College, Cambridge. Following war service, he was elected Fellow of King's College, and later became Organist of Salisbury & Worcester Cathedrals, conducting the Three Choirs Festival whilst at Worcester. Willcocks returned to King's College, Cambridge as Director of Music from 1957-1974, with the first collection of his arrangements in the Carols for Choirs series publishing in 1961. He was Director of Music at the Royal College of Music from 1974-1984, died 2015 ; FINE. Book.…

In den WarenkorbThree typescripts from the papers of Lillah McCarthy (Lady Keeble). The first two both apparently unpublished are full of interest: they gives personal reminiscences of her work with William Poel, the 'pioneer of modern Shakespeare production', whom she considered the greatest influence on her career. She describes Poel's working methods, his lecture style, rehearsals, use of make up, modern influence (with reminiscences about Wolfit and Olivier), and even his death, at which she was present. The second item discusses Irving, with reference to those of his productions which she attended, and a meeting with him. The Poel items are 9 &8pp., the Irving, 4pp. 4toThe three items uniform in layout and paper stock, each printed on rectos and paginated, and each with the leaves stapled together at one corner. The three in good condition, lightly aged. All three items are scarce: no copies are listed on OCLC WorldCat, and the only copy of Item One traced is noted in Claris Glick, 'William Poel: His Theories and Influence' (1964), as at the 'Royal Shakespeare Library' (now part of the Birmingham Shakespeare Library?). ONE: 'NOTES FROM MEMORY OF WILLIAM POEL. | by Lillah McCarthy. (Lady Keeble).' 9pp, 4to. Begins: 'WILLIAM POEL 1895. | Director, Lecturer and Teacher of the Shakespeare Reading Society which still exists. | Founder, Director and Producer of the Elizabethan Stage Society.' Poel was, McCarthy begins, 'pre-eminently a keen Elizabethan scholar: his special subject: Shakespeare. His ambition was to produce Shakespeare's plays as they were produced and acted in Shakespeare's time, with the Apron Stage and the set scene. But as actresses were and had been very popular William Poel had no need to resort only to boy actors as in Shakespeare's day. Delivery of the verse, rapid and clear: perfect diction, rhythm, voice strong and resonant. | Gestures to be employed sparingly, only when really necessary to the action of play, but then strong and definite.' There follows a section on 'Make Up', with descriptions of that used for Lady Macbeth, Viola and Olivia. Of Lady Macbeth she writes: 'The hair or wig no matter what colour was needed for the part. The forehead must be built up high and broad. Hair dressed high, well back from the ears, swept high from the forehead and up from the neck.' Sections follow on 'Carriage Style' and 'Costumes'. She next turns to Poel's activities around the time when she became a member of the Shakespeare Reading Society in 1895. During weekly lectures Poel 'would stand at his desk on the platform and declare in emphatic tones his determination to get a public together that could appreciate Shakespeare for the genius as a playwright. | There was nothing academic about Poel's way of lecturing. He spoke excitedly, passionately and often violently.' She recalls how she took the part of Romeo in one of Poel's public readings: 'We the actors used to sit in a semi-circle in the way that the Theatre Francaise Presented Moliere, each of us standing up when our turn came. Though we knew our parts by heart; Poel saw to that we had to have the book in our hands because it was a "reading".' A page and a half are devoted to Poel's 'Rehearsals', during which he was 'ruthless': 'He rehearsed each of us one at a time. We were made to repeat after him our lines until we had got the rhythm and then the right expression of the passion or the tenderness or other essential of the part which the character demanded.' She performed three Shakespeare parts under Poel's direction, and 'also played the leading part in his production of Swinburne's LOCRINE. He also produced THE BACCHAE in which I played DIONYSUS.' She recalls how the Greek scholar Gilbert Murray, whose translation was used, was present at rehearsals. Returning to Shakespeare, she gives numerous examples of how 'Poel insisted on the YOUTH of Shakespeare's leading characters': 'Youth was exuberant in Shakespeare and old age only a dim background.' She states that.…

In den WarenkorbMarion Shaw, daughter of Charles Shaw of Ayr, married Charles Bell in 1811. Following the death of her husband in 1842, she lived with her brother the surgeon Alexander Shaw (1804-1890), and their house became a centre of artistic and literary society. The recipient is a former pupil of Bell's at the Hunterian School of Medicine in Great Windmill Street, London, the surgeon Henry William Robert Davey (1798-1870), son of surgeon Henry Sallows Davey (1781-1855) of Beccles. The letter is written on the publication of 'The Letters of Sir Charles Bell, K.H., F.R.S.L. & E.: Selected from His Correspondence with his Brother George Joseph Bell' (1870). 4pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with thin strip from mount adhering to reverse of second leaf. The letter begins: 'Dear Henry Davey | When I thought of those, to whom these Memorials would be acceptable , I was not mistaken in clasing Yourself the old Pupil and friend of my dear Husband among the first. - I thank you sincerely for your kind note. - I have grieved for you and your wife, in the great sorrow that I saw had befallen you.' She continues by observing that in her 'long life' she has 'written few letters, - but of sympathy and bereavements!' Her only hope is that the Daveys 'can both accept gratefully the mercies' that are still around them, including their son. She is sorry to see from Davey's writing that he is 'a sufferer [from arthritis]'. Concerning the book she states that the letters belong to George Joseph Bell, and that '[f]rom many circumstances' connected with his family 'they have been late in appearing; | The Mass of correspondence was so large, that the selection was difficult: to refrain, or to venture, equally so.' Nevertheless she hopes that there is 'enough to show Sir Charles Bell as he was, & which I believe will be precious to The Profession.' The selection of the letters was 'by the surviving daughter of Geo Jos Bell', 'which of course I superintended, as far as possible. I have not yet recovered the task'. She concludes by stating that she is 'pretty well' in health, 'considering my more than 80 years. I go out seldom. My sister Mrs Haughton lives with me'. From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.…
