Stanley Black on Film Music
Stanley Black O.B.E. in conversation with Miguel Mera (Royal College of
Music) and Simon Young (Trinity College of Music)
Tuesday 24 September 2002 6.15pm
Stanley Black's arrangements of film music are legendary. He has worked on
over a hundred films, as score arranger or musical director and, in many
cases, as both. His credits include It Always Rains on Sunday (1948), The
Long and The Short and The Tall (1961), the Cliff Richard musicals The
Young Ones (1961) and Summer Holiday (1962) and all of the late Mario
Zampi's screwball comedies, including Laughter in Paradise (1951), The
Naked Truth (1957) and Too Many Crooks (1958). In collaboration with
Stanley Black, who will be 90 in June 2003, the Jerwood Library is
building a comprehensive archive of his autograph scores.
The First Annual Mander & Mitchenson Theatre Collection Lecture.
Materiality and Magic: Space and Representation in the Nineteenth-century Theatre
Sophie Nield (University of Surrey, Roehampton)
Tuesday 29 October 2002 6.15pm
Drawing on the resources of the Mander & Mitchenson Theatre Collection,
Sophie Nield considers the production of space on the nineteenth-century
stage, using spatial analysis to offer insights into questions of presence
and representation, and of the material production of theatrical 'magic'.
With reference to architecture, performance, optical illusions,
disappearance and materialisations, she investigates the materiality of
theatrical illusion and examines the invention of the theatre as a space
of representation during the nineteenth century.
Dr Sophie Nield is Senior Lecturer in Drama at the University of Surrey,
Roehampton. She has published on nineteenth-century theatre, women and
national identity, and co-edited a collection of essays reappraising the
work of Raymond Williams. She is a Director and a Trustee of the Mander &
Mitchenson Theatre Collection and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
Nicolay Myaskovsky (1881-1950): the composer who wrote too much?
Clive Marks
Tuesday 19 November 2002 6.15pm
Myaskovsky is one of the greatest Soviet symphonists. A friend of
Prokofiev and Shostakovich and teacher of Kabalevsky, Khachaturian and
Shebalin, he composed 27 symphonies, 13 string quartets, 9 piano sonatas,
a violin concerto, a cello concerto and two magnificent cello sonatas. He
faithfully served the Communist Party, adhered to the socialist view of
art and was awarded two Stalin prizes, only to be destroyed by the All
Party Conference in Moscow, 1948. Clive Marks will examine how the
'musical conscience of Moscow' was failed by the Party, using live and
recorded musical examples to illustrate his talk.
Clive Marks is a chartered accountant specialising in the world of music.
Formerly a Governor of Thames Valley University, he is Chairman of the
London College of Music, and is currently drawing up a curriculum for a
masters degree in music, tyranny and politics. He is a trustee of the
London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Sir Arthur Bliss Trust and the John
Ireland Trust.

The Jerwood Library of the Performing Arts, incorporating the Mander and
Mitchenson Theatre Collection, is the working library of Trinity College
of Music, and supports learning, teaching, performance and research within
the College. It also holds research collections of international
significance, which are open for reference to those engaged in research at
all levels.
The Mander & Mitchenson Theatre Collection is one of the finest
collections of theatre memorabilia in the world. Based on the personal
collection of two actors, Raymond Mander and Joe Mitchenson, it contains a
wide-range of primary sources for the study of theatre history and music
in all its connections with the theatre, and also functions as a picture
library.
Other major collections are the Antonio de Almeida Collection of
orchestral and vocal scores, the Sir Frederick Bridge Library of early
printed music and books, the British Music Society Archive and the Music
Preserved collection of historic live sound recordings, which may only be
heard in two centres at present: the Jerwood Library and the Barbican
Library.
The Jerwood Library also holds autograph manuscripts of the following
composers: Richard Arnell, Malcolm Arnold, Stanley Black, Frank Cordell,
William Lovelock, Charles Procter, Margaret Purcell, Kaikhosru Shapurji
Sorabji, Lionel Tertis and Christopher Wood.
The Jerwood Library manages the Centre for Young Musicians Library, which,
in addition to sets of orchestral and vocal music available for hire to
amateur choirs and orchestras, includes the Alan Cave Collection of wind
music.
The bringing together of all these collections in 2001 to form the Jerwood
Library of the Performing Arts was enabled by a generous donation from the
Jerwood Charitable Foundation, which continues its association with
Trinity through its support of the present seminar series.

holdings, see the Library's website at www.tcm.ac.uk, or contact
