FOREWORD
in a concert performance and a broadcast with the Bournemouth Symphony
Orchestra. Our season does not contain enough concerts to repeat a work of which
we gave the first performance — Guildford has shown the way and it is up to other
organisations to do the second and subsequent performances, as we have done for
works premiered elsewhere. Such was the impact of that Symphony however that|
felt justified in commissioning Derek Bourgeois Third Symphony and the Arts Council
agreed with my suggestion. Carey Blyton is a composer who lives in the region which
has adopted the Guildford orchestra as its own. His wonderfully clear and sensitive
When one plans a concert season one is always reminded of the saying that no matter
how careful you are, you can't please everyone. With 15 or 16 concerts in our season,
to please everyone each year would indeed be impossible. My planning has always
tried to indicate a course which if followed for several years by a member of our
audience would provide a grounding in the classics, old favourites heard again, and
an interesting leavening of modern and unfamiliar works. Looking back over the last
dozen seasons | am amazed at the number of works that the orchestra and choirs
have performed, but something caught my attention which made me fear that
despite my watchfulness a note of complacency might be spoiling my catholic harmony. It was simply that amongst the many unfamiliar works presented, there were
relatively few first or second performances. | excused myself on the grounds that we
had few enough concerts anyway, that our rehearsal time has always been meagre
when compared with the other professional orchestras in the country, and my own
conducting career placed a large burden of first broadcast performances, first concert
performances, and first recordings on my shoulders. Another thing worried me.
During all the economic vicissitudes through which the country and the Arts of the
country had been passing we had kept our audience attendance in Guildford at a
consistently high level, but we had done it with a formula tried and perfected in the
60s and only slightly modified during the 70s. Obviously it was time for fresh thinking, though | have never been one to advocate change for change’s sake.
| found the answer in a reappraisal of my work outside Guildford. Concert seasons
everywhere depend on the repertoire of the conductors and soloists engaged. An
ideal season of 30 concerts in Guildford devised by a team of artists, philosophers,
educationalists, concert goers,enthusiasts and the unions, would not be able to find
a conductor who could perform all the works at the necessary level of competence
and do the other 40 or 50 concerts in a season that he must do in order to earna
living. | decided that | must keep up my number of first performances, as | believe
that art like everything else in life improves by constant renewal, new attitudes and
re-examination. So this year a greater proportion of works that | am conducting for
the first time will be done in Guildford than in any other single concert series in
which | conduct. | have tried to choose these to cover a wide range of styles. This
Sometime Silence is Sylvia Hallett’s South East Arts Association competition winning work. We have a tradition of playing the music of young composers in our
series and her short imaginative work thus qualifies for inclusion. A few years ago a
programme containing Derek Bourgeois’ Second Symphony was played to a packed
Civic Hall. Many people have asked me to repeat the work and this | was able to do
style is exemplified in the Lachrymae and is a contrast to the two works already
mentioned. Here we are not dealing witha first performance for the work has been
well received already but it is the first time that | will have had a chance to conduct
the work and | would think it will be the first of this composer’s output to be heard
by many Guildfordians. In the same category comes another contrasted work. We
have always introduced works from abroad as well as British ones in our series and
the choirs have been responsible for some of these first performances in Great
Britain. This time it is the turn of Boris Blacher whose Requiem will be heard for
the first time in this country in May 1978. A large orchestra used with pointiliste
delicacy, and soloist and choral lines of exhaltation but rhythmic difficulty, make up
a work which if attempted by choirs up and down the country would improve their
standards in one season. And lest it be thought that all our first performances are of
a more serious nature turn up for our lighter music concert on the ist October and
hear the witty and beautifully orchestrated Preludes of George Kraus.
The foregoing does not mean that the great repertoire of orchestral music is in any
way ignored.| still find myself angry when a citizen of Guildford says to me ‘I'd
come along to your concerts if only you would do some Beethoven’. He obviously
hasn’t read through any of our brochures or looked at our posters. In this as in every
season major works of Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Sibelius, and
Dvorak will be heard, and established and world famous soloists will share our
platform with new talents just emerging in their concert careers.
Other changes are however taking place. The team that produces these concerts has
remained together over a number of years. This year Mary Whittle leaves Guildford.
Before her marriage to Denis Whittle the name of Mary Rivers had been seen in
scores of concert programmes. Her contribution to Guildford’s music was not only
through her work with us in the Borough music scheme, but through her remarkable
achievements as the Head of the High School’s Music Department. A contribution
such as hers to the music of a district cannot be accurately assessed. As accompanist
to the Philharmonic Choir and assistant conductor of the Proteus Choir she helped
me found a repertoire for the former and a unique standard and atmosphere for the
latter. Everyone who knows anything of her work wishes her great good fortune in
her new life and sends heartfelt thanks for all she has done in Guildford. It is
wonderful to think that she will occasionally come back and help us in our
preparation of major choral works.
For the first time in many years the name Proteus Choir does not appear on the
cover of this brochure. This is simply because the Choir is not involved in any of the
series in the Civic Hall and is undergoing a period of reorganisation. When it was
formed in 1963 there was no University in the town and no Youth Centre. The
personnel has changed and the recruitment is from many more areas than formerly.
Its standard and tradition will be continued and the members of the choir will
themselves determine its future size and the number of concerts that it undertakes.
CONCERT PROGRAMMES 1977/78 SEASON
Changes, when they have the sound basis provided by the happy and successful team
which presents our concert season, are exciting. The fact that the orchestra will play
four times outside Guildford during next season ensures a higher standard in the
Civic Hall. Many people drew attention to the wonderful playing in our Silver Jubilee

Concert, not realising that we had been able tp play several of the items in our concert in Bracknell two weeks before. This is the way in which most orchestras work;

been denied until now. | feel that this new expansion is a just reward for the concertgoers of Guildford who have supported the Council's concerts of Enterprising programmes through the years. The Philharmonic Society and the audience in this dis-
trict have set a cultural and artistic standard of response, and it is up to anyone who
