Sir Frederick Bridge and the musical furtherance of the 1902 imperial project
No full textThis chapter draws upon these models to examine the selection, organization, and presentation of the music for the coronation of King Edward VII on 9 August 1902. The Director of Music for this event was Sir Frederick Bridge, Organist of Westminster Abbey. Bridge was the first Abbey Organist to hold this formal responsibility since Henry Purcell, for, as he states in his autobiography, there was no prerogative automatically entitling the Organist of the Abbey to direct the music for coronation services. Music was an important force in shaping British attitudes to Empire, and interpretative frames proposed by David Cannadine and Jeffrey Richards have emphasized its significance. These striking musical differences between the coronations of Victoria and Edward illustrate the rise of a new professionalism in British music during the last quarter of the nineteenth century, with new and exciting modern repertoires being more innovatively packaged and presented to audiences in better-quality performances

No full textTaking the plunge: the hopes and fears of students as they begin music college
No full textThe attitudes and experiences of 13 music students entering a conservatoire were tracked before their entry and throughout their first term at college. Aspirations and apprehensions towards the musical, academic and social aspects of college life were collected in addition to career aims, and the data analysed qualitatively to produce emergent themes. Three pivot points were drawn from the analysis, describing events or factors that appear to shape the development of the students as musicians. The first highlights the importance of the students' first performance at college, and the second focuses on overcoming possible feelings of inadequacy generated from being one of many outstanding musicians. Thirdly, the role of feedback is highlighted as an important part of the students becoming confident in all aspects of their musical work
