A recent photo of Vic Hoyland at home in Yorkshire The composer Vic Hoyland was due to celebrate his 75th birthday this year with a concert at Kings Place, and my interview with him was organised to coincide with the concert. This latter, alas, has had to be postponed but this year is still Vic's 75th birthday and there is plenty to celebrate and talk about, so we went ahead with the interview. Vic was born in Yorkshire and studied at Hull and York Universities, going on to become Haywood Fellow at the University of Birmingham where he became Professor in Composition until his retirement in 2011. His music has been much influenced by European composers such as Luciano Berio and Franco Donatoni. As a boy, Vic wanted to be a painter, he loved drawing and in fact still does. A cousin of his, John Hoyland was a […]

The ‘Boston Hymn’ in Washington
Ralph Waldo Emerson Washington DC—Ralph Waldo Emerson enjoyed concerts by the Handel and Haydn Society and deeply admired both composers. Last June the H+H Period Instrument Orchestra and Chorus at Symphony Hall reciprocated, with a new setting of the Transcendentalist’s Boston Hymn, Harry Christophers leading the finale of the Society’s ambitious bicentennial season (article here ). Last Saturday, Christophers and a scaled-back H+H ensemble performed the Hymn again, this time at the Library of Congress’s intimate 500-seat Coolidge Auditorium, in Washington DC. Award-winning composer-in-residence for both the Houston and the Detroit Symphony Orchestras, Gabriela Lena Frank was commissioned by H+H and the Carolyn Royall Just Fund of the Library to arrange Emerson’s poem for chorus and chamber ensemble. Last June’s world premiere of the result, her My Angel, his name is freedom, was the centerpiece of a Symphony Hall program titled Handel+Haydn Sings. Works by Handel, Samuel Webbe, Gwyneth […]

It Began 200 Years Ago at King’s Chapel
The Stone Chapel many years back. With a nod to history, and an astute ear to giving pleasure, Handel & Haydn Society embarked on its bicentennial season in a retrospective program featuring Mozart’s Requiem. While requiems don’t seem particularly celebratory, this one guarantees attractions and thrill. And this Symphony Hall audience was well-provided with both. The Handel and Haydn Society’s long run began on Christmas Day, 1815, in King’s Chapel. That inauguration included part of Haydn’s The Creation, and a glee by Samuel Webbe. This partial reenactment did as well, rounding out with the conductor’s favorite Haydn symphony, a nod to Mozart rounding out the Classical pantheon. On Sunday the “will call” line for tickets stretched around the corner of Symphony Hall, past the stage door. In the end, this was not a standing-room only concert but Symphony Hall was certainly packed. (One wonders how crowded the 1815 concert […]
