VAUGHAN WILLIAMS:

Before she completed her studies in Japan, Yukie NagaiIrizuki had already performed successfully as a soloist
and in particular as a partner in chamber music of the
famous violinist Yoshio Unno. She started her proper
artistic career after winning the prize of the Concours
International d’Exécution Musicale of Geneva in 1977
together with a special prize for the best Debussy interpretation. Since then she has received invitations for
piano recitals and orchestral concerts, as well as broadcasts and television recordings, in Switzerland, Belgium,
Germany, France, Japan, Sweden and Austria. She
recently played the Bartok Concerto with Vernon
Handley conducting the Malmo Symphony Orchestra in
Sweden. He was so impressed by her performance that

Vernon Handley is now one of Britain’s busiest conductors. As well as a full season of concerts with all the major British orchestras, he is also taking on a number of
engagements with foreign orchestras including the
Stockholm Philharmonic, Berlin Radio Symphony
Orchestra, Amsterdam Philharmonic and the
Strasbourg Philharmonic Orchestras.
With effect from September 1983 Vernon Handley has

been appointed Associate Conductor of the London
Philharmonic Orchestra. The title and role have been es-

pecially created for Mr. Handley in recognition of his
long and enormously successful association with this
orchestra. As well as this appointment Vernon Handley
has also been appointed Chief Guest Conductor of the

of Guildford’s music in that it is Vernon Handley’s final
concert with the combined forces of Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir in his present role as Guildford Borough Council’s Director of Music. He will relinquish this title in September this year when he takes up
his appointments as Associate Conductor of the London
Philharmonic Orchestra and Chief Guest Conductor of
the BBC Scottish Orchestra. However, Mr. Handley will
be conducting the Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra on
July 16 in the final concert of the Guildford Festival and
this concert will take place in the Courtyard at Sutton
Place at 7.30 p.m. on that evening.
Vernon Handley was appointed Musical Director of the
Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra in 1962 and under

his direction the Orchestra has developed into a highly
successful professional body of major importance, now
firmly established as the Orchestra of the South East.
Vernon Handley’s work in Guildford has been recognised for its championship of British music and an established series of enterprising and stimulating
programmes which have been acclaimed nationally.
Guildford Borough Council is fortunate in that Vernon
Handley will remain as the Council’s Artistic Adviser,
and will continue to conduct as many concerts with the
Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir as his

future commitments allow. He will also continue in his
role as Musical Director of the South East Music Trust,

Rickmansworth Grammar School.

He studied the piano privately from the age of six. When
he began to compose a few years later, his outstanding
gifts came to the attention of Kathleen Benning at the
Watford School of Music, where he studied theory of
music. As a result he took composition lessons with
Lennox Berkeley, and a Junior Exhibition to the Trinity
College of Music, London. His piano trio in G minor

In 1974, upon leaving school, and having already obtained his LRAM in piano performing, a foundation
scholarship took him to the Royal College of Music to
study as a full-time student. He took piano lessons from
John

Lill

and John

Russell,

and in

1977 won the

Hopkinson Silver Medal for piano playing, and was
highly praised by Louis Kentner. In the same year he

obtained honours in his ARCM for piano performing.
For composition, he studied with Dr. Bernard Stevens
and Alan Ridout, and won all the major composition

awards, including the Leverhulme Scholarship.
In 1978 he won the national Menuhin Prize with his

“Explorations and Metamorphoses”, and in 1980 the
Epping Forest Centenary award with “Essex”.
In 1979 he won the prestigious Charterhouse Award,
and as a result moved to Charterhouse in January 1980.
As the school’s composer-in-residence, under the sponsorship of the RVW Trust, and with the support of the

South East Arts Association, he was able to devote a
great deal of his time to composition.

Adrian Williams b.1956

Orchestra with funds from the South East Arts
Association

It is the early hours of a cold Sunday morning at Flintcombe Ash, and purposefully Tess begins to make her
way in the winter dawn on foot to Emminster, a distance
of fifteen miles across Wessex which corresponds to that
undulating area of Dorset north of Dorchester. It is a
year since her marriage to the farmer, Angel Clare, and
a year since he deserted her, following her untimely confession of her past life, meaning the cruel seduction by

her cousin, Alec D’Urberville, and subsequent birth of a
child. Tess still loves Clare unfailingly, though he is now

abroad and probably trying to forget her. Clare’s father
is vicar of Emminster (Beaminster) and her journey to
that place is being made in the hope that she could
possibly win her husband back by winning his parents’
sympathy first.

INTERVAL

In an effort to make his son forget a life of music,
Delius’s father bought an Orange Grove in Florida and
sent Frederick out to manage it. This was in 1884 and
he settled down in Salano, three days journey from

Jacksonville, the nearest town. He was the only white
man in Salano and the primitive life of the Negro made a
deep and lasting impression on him. Of this period, he
wrote later, “I loved it (the Negro music) . . . In the night
which falls quickly in that part of the world, the sound

of Negro voices was enchanting. They sang mostly

The Third Piano Concerto was Bartok’s last work and

dates from the year in which he died which was 1945. In
fact, he was unable to complete the orchestration and

the last seventeen bars were orchestrated by his pupil
Tibor Serly, from Bartok’s sketches. The work had its
beginnings in a Concerto for two pianos and orchestra
but when he realised that he was mortally ill, he laid

aside that work and his viola concerto in order to write
the Third Concerto; almost as a parting gift for his wife,
Ditta Pasztori, who was a pianist. It is very different
from the First and Second Concertos with their barbaric
atmosphere and rhythmic drive. He was trying to make
himself accessible to a wider audience for some of his

ing by singing, teaching and playing the violin and the
organ. Then the family gave up resistance for the time
being and he was allowed to go to the Leipzig Conservatoire.

“Appalachia” is the first of Delius’s mature and great
compositions. As a set of orchestral variations he finished it in 1895, but he revised it as a choral work seven
years later. Written mostly in retrospect, it is more
evocative of the Mississippi and the Negroes than any
other

American composer. “Appalachia” is the old Indian

word for North America but it is clear that Delius
means it in this case to refer to the Mississippi, the

Florida swamps and the cotton plantations.

now and then with intermezzi made from the material of

three elements of the Introduction and one or two of the
most important variations are sounded simultaneously.
The work ends with references to the Introduction and a
simple cadence.

The chorus appear only with wordless comments during
the first thirty-five minutes of the piece, and then with a
bold move that must, if we believe the critics, seem most
uncharacteristic of Delius, he silences the large
orchestra and in a passage notoriously difficult to sing in
tune, has the eight-part unaccompanied chorus sing
words for the first time. It is the climax of the piece.
After night has gone comes the day—

Then the baritone solo sings of the terrible fate of male
Negroes who were “sold down the river”. But his words
bring a strong but naive message of hope:

Oh honey I'll be gone when next the whippoor-wills
