Paper. Condition: Good. First Edition. An Original Handwritten and Signed Paper Slip by Conductor Sir Malcolm Sargent. Undated. Sir Harold Malcolm Watts Sargent 1895-1967 was an English conductor, organist and composer widely regarded as Britain's leading conductor of choral works. The musical ensembles with which he was associated included the Ballets Russes, the Huddersfield Choral Society, the Royal Choral Society, the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, and the London Philharmonic, Hallé, Liverpool Philharmonic, BBC Symphony and Royal Philharmonic orchestras. Sargent was held in high esteem by choirs and instrumental soloists, but because of his high standards and a statement that he made in a 1936 interview disputing musicians' rights to tenure, his relationship with orchestral players was often uneasy. Despite this, he was co-founder of the London Philharmonic, was the first conductor of the Liverpool Philharmonic as a full-time ensemble and played an important part in saving the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra from disbandment in the 1960s. Size is 120mm x 50mm, In good condition with folding crease. Ref 19050. Signed by Author(s).…

Two pages, 12mo, bifolium, good condition. Text: "I am so sorry that I have not answered your before with regard to your 'Te Deum'. | I fear I cannot offer you the possibility of a performance with any of my Societies. It is a very musicianly made work but I feel is mopre suited for a perfomance in some church or cathedral rather than is some [elided and "the" added in MS] concert hall. | It is written more or less in the Mendelssohn idiom and today it is hard to place anything unless it is definitely a classic or one feels that it is modern (or at least as modern as Elgar). There are some mis-calculations, I feel, for example, the fifth [part MS] bar - the [in MS] flutes and clarinet passage would be quiote inaudible against trumpets and strings. On page 5 the two clarinets would sound very piano after the chorus voices if the choir is at all big, and on p.6 the altos would sound lonely in that the 4 horns double the men's voices and the altos are left alone etc. etc. but these are small details which could easily be altered. My difficulty is that I have no concert available at present where I could place the work. I am so sorry. | I am very much looking forward to the 'Morning Heroes'. I have had magnificent performances of it with ["John Gielgud & Edith Evans" added in MS]". Subscription added in his hand.…
