He established a standard that can now never be ignored, and the stimulating shock-waves from his explosion will carry far into the future..." Sir Anthony Lewis, 1976. This is a tribute blog to a renowned broadcaster and musician. It consists of relevant "articles" from the internet plus some original, and formerly unpublished material.

It was concerned with music in general and was originally intended for children but soon had a wide adult audience. It was presented by David Munrow and I would dash down the stairs to my paters work room and we would listen to the programme.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, Munrow himself was probably the greatest populariser of early music (ie. recreations of Medieval, and Renaissance music). Apart from many radio broadcasts and a few tv programmes he gave many live talks, and many public performances and was noted for his enthusiasm and his ability to communicate clearly to all and sundry. For a long time in shops his records, tapes, and then CDs dominated this "niche" market. However, it must be remembered that there were a few other music groups doing the same thing, but it was Munrow who really put early music on the map making it more popular and more musically acceptable to the mainstream and to the public in general.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div>For those who know little or nothing about him the link here may be of value <a href="https://earlymusiclegend.blogspot.com/2023/01/2022-update-of-david-munrow-entry.html">2022 Wikipedia </a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Also, another "bio" is from an article by Arthur Johnson... <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/hansthijs/37491641336?fbclid=IwAR3LHX0tJN7wD_R7VNAJvvT9tzowlXL2c2H4qI2P71X2NbU0AEFWgAsVWHE">See link</a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> Click on the following for a<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arEvW5PKvQA"> lively musical intro</a> </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>A number of rare images used in the above link were collected from the internet by myself and help to give an interesting visual record of Munrow...and company (ie. the Early Music Consort of London, the name of his group) RS</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> A collection of tv clips from Early Musical Instruments and Ancestral Voices Click <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@davidgriffith256/playlists">Ref</a> <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Munrow has even be regarded as the "inventor" of early music as a new movement per se. Of course, there were other musicians ploughing the same field. But it was David Munrow who helped to popularise it like no other in the 20th century.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms", arial, helvetica;">David Munrow left behind him not only his recordings, but a large collection of musical instruments. Munrow's research into instruments and music of the past led to specially commissioned careful reconstructions otherwise unobtainable antiquities from such instrumental families as the cornett, rackett, kortholt from makers such as Otto Steinkopf, Christopher Monk and Jonathan Askey.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms", arial, helvetica;">Munrow and his future wife Gillian Reid began giving workshops and recitals on 'early music' to schools and music societies. In 1967 Munrow became a part-time lecturer at Leicester University in early music history with his wife Gillian Reid. The same year he founded the Early Music Consort of London with Christopher Hogwood and other friends.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms", arial, helvetica;">In his hands and, largely through the Early Music Consort of London, the cornetto began to regain its former popularity.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms", arial, helvetica;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms", arial, helvetica;"><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08f4px4">William Lyons on David Munrow</a> A BBC programme on his music<br /></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms", arial, helvetica;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms", arial, helvetica;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms", arial, helvetica;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh1MM8vWyCKUjlJu8BpAqYr78rfZlkGHBfW2vlurUxf-V1FISuev-4LSMWb-b422NbZm9r3M2rAff8YiNBAg48ZipIhg5b0drzDEzHFQEJVFvqGlg8o8_scFVp7HNWY441FvZNRaCkyHFGTrTyvxFhgAP-6JSFT0kAlS_2kBrHfsUYn5pJn7Vb1O3c6fw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="640" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh1MM8vWyCKUjlJu8BpAqYr78rfZlkGHBfW2vlurUxf-V1FISuev-4LSMWb-b422NbZm9r3M2rAff8YiNBAg48ZipIhg5b0drzDEzHFQEJVFvqGlg8o8_scFVp7HNWY441FvZNRaCkyHFGTrTyvxFhgAP-6JSFT0kAlS_2kBrHfsUYn5pJn7Vb1O3c6fw=w400-h225" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms", arial, helvetica;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms", arial, helvetica;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms", arial, helvetica;"><img alt="David Munrow playing the pipe and tabor." class="size-full lead-image" loading="lazy" src="https://indianapublicmedia.org/wpimages/harmonia/2016/06/DavidMunrow1.jpg" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 596px; min-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms", arial, helvetica;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms", arial, helvetica;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms", arial, helvetica;">Image from the following link which has more info on David Munrow.

text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: initial;"><span style="background-color: initial; text-align: left;">If we li</span><span style="background-color: initial; text-align: left;">ve in another country we are likely to see life from a different angle. Sometimes the experience brings special insights into behaviour and all the arts that will throw fresh light on the patterns of human development as happened to Darwin, the anthropologist Evans-Pritchard, collectors of flora and fauna and even to collectors of folk song. When Maud Karpeles and Cecil Sharp explored the isolated mountain area of the Appalachians in America they discovered a source of folk song that had closer parallels with the England, Ireland and Scotland of the seventeenth-century than with the twentieth. This was their richest find. On another level, when the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss left France to take up the chair of sociology in the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil he came into contact with the Indian population of the interior. The direction of his life changed. He began to study primitive culture, especially their modes of thought and behaviour and was able to use these insights to formulate general concepts that illuminate all societies.* David Munrow would not suggest that his stay in South America as a student teacher for the British Council was as yet of equal importance, but there is no doubt that this experience has stimulated him into a most coherent and persuasive advocate of the performing traditions of early music.</span></span></div><p></p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">It was a German student who had digs in his house who introduced him to the recorder. ‘I would sit at the bottom of the stairs and listen to him playing. He lent me his recorder and music so that when the competitions came up at school I borrowed his recorder and beat all these people who’d been learning other instruments for years. It was rather embarrassing. My parents then bought me a set of recorders and encouraged me to take up</p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">the bassoon, which I learnt from Vaughan Allin of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, a very fine player. But I found myself getting more and more interested in the recorder.’</p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">He then spent a year in South America at Lima on the British Council student teacher scheme. He travelled over 10,000 miles by land and came into contact with a tremendous amount of folk music. ‘I dimly realised that this was all mixed up with instruments and traditions mostly dead in Western Europe. For instance, when the Spaniards came to South America the Indians copied their instruments and incorporated them into their music. I found renaissance flutes and recorders, cylindrical of course, because they were made of bamboo. The Indians had gone on using them ever since without altering them a scrap.’</p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">He listened especially to the Indian tribes in the Andes who played a simple, straightforward kind of music, using the pentatonic scale. ‘It was deeply moving : and when one looked at their conditions of life, rather disturbing. There was a very great sadness, nearly everything was in a minor key. By contrast, in Lima, you had the creole music; a bastard form of Spanish folk music, similar to Flamenco; brilliant, virtuoso.’ From these experiences came his belief that the essence of an early music performing tradition might be found in folk origins, rather than in the tradition of western classical music. This coincides with a view expressed as long ago as 1957 by Anthony Baines in his <em style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">Woodwind Instruments and their History: . . . </em>in the quieter, remoter parts of the Continent, medieval wind instruments live on today as folk instruments, unchanged save perhaps for a small modification here, or a sign of degeneration there . . . Here is material of real importance. . . “It is not difficult for a student of violin to find teachers and virtuosi for his instrument. But those looking for models in medieval and renaissance music find it hard,’ he said. There are, of course, many hints in the surviving instruction manuals, such as Ganassi, and these are useful guides. Ganassi recommends the study of singing and with this advice David Munrow wholeheartedly agrees : ‘I spend more time listening to singers and what they do with their voices than anything else. All players should sing—so much of the early music is vocal. After this, one should look to folk players rather than to those who are just finding their way with these instruments after a gap of 400 years.’</p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">He played a recording which he described as <em style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">the </em>most beautiful woodwind sound. It was not medieval music nor a modern flautist or recorder player but a performer on the Roumanian <em style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">nai, </em>a kind of syrinx or panpipes. The freshness, crispness and edge to the sound in this `Cintec de Dragoste’ or ‘Song of Love’ appealed to him enormously. ‘It has a vital improvisatory quality. Later music can’t have it because it isn’t improvised.’ He also gets inspiration from singers like Cleo Laine, or equally, Alfred Deller. ‘I like so many different singers it’s hard to know where to begin.’</p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">In Morocco he once met a shepherd out in the countryside. `We had no language in common,’ he said, ‘but this man sat down and played the instruments I was carrying in my pack, then walked away and back to his sheep. He was one of the few untutored and indubitably great artists I’ve ever met. It’s experiences like this that makes me think such a player gives one a closer link with renaissance or medieval sound.</p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">`I believe early music is expressive. One reads in books of people being moved to tears. Music must always have produced a direct emotional effect. Listeners were not at a concert but at a mass, or aristocratic function, or private gathering. The problem is not the same expressiveness as Beethoven or Chopin dynamics but something not immediately apparent in music. I’m still looking for it, but I get closer by looking at folk music and folk instruments than by looking at music written after 1600, with the beginnings of opera and the foundations of the modern orchestra.’</p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">After Lima, David Munrow read English at Cambridge—`I spent three years industriously making music and not doing any work.’ This included singing in the Jesus College Chapel Choir. With Charles Cudworth he gave the first modern performance of William Boyce’s <em style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">Cambridge Ode. </em>Thurston Dart started him on the crumhorn and he was stimulated by fine players such as Don Smithers on the cornett and all windcap instruments. He met Christopher Hogwood who has been his harpsichordist ever since. When Cambridge ended he did research into seventeenth-century bawdy songs at Birmingham University and went into teaching.</p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">He started giving lecture recitals on early woodwind instruments and their music and played a crumhorn part specially written by Richard Rodney Bennett for <em style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">Timon of Athens </em>at Stratford-upon-Avon. ‘After two terms’ teaching I decided the only thing I wanted to do was play. I was offered a job in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre Wind Band playing the bassoon, recorder, crumhorn and rauschpfeife.’ He also taught early woodwind instruments for a year under the late Thurston Dart at the recently formed music department of Kings College, London. He lives in St. Albans, a good base for his proliferating concerts, recordings and TV appearances.</p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">After concerts in February 1967 with James Bowman, Oliver Brookes, Christopher Hogwood and Mary Remnant, David Munrow felt that he had found a lively combination of performers to form a consort. ‘We all decided it would be a good idea if we went on working together. We got a Monday concert after a BBC audition and since then everything has snowballed a bit.’ He speaks appreciatively of his artists—’It’s marvellous, for instance, to have a counter-tenor like James Bowman, who has a hard masculine sound capable of great expressiveness.’</p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">He brings back instruments from his travels so that in his house he has an intriguing collection. These include the early instruments he uses in his recitals—Steinkopf replicas and others ranging from North Africa through Japan to the Andes. Sometimes he has to work on an instrument for two years or so until it plays properly.</p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">His collection is alive, everything is playable and is played—’It’s not like a gigantic toyshop.’</p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">He would like composers to write for the recorder and for the other early instruments, for `no instrument is really alive if neglected by the living artist.’ He feels there could be an enormous future in the avant-garde and in pop for those with an individual sound. ‘I deplore the lack of good modern recorder music and think that Berio’s piece the best thing that’s happened to recorder music in the twentieth-century.’</p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">His various activities complement each other so that if he lectures on Machaut at Leicester it seems part of the same process of discovery and experimentation. ‘The marvellous thing about my life is that I’m earning my living doing something I like. I’ve seen so much that’s wonderful in early music.’</p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">At their Wigmore concert they played English music with a stunning sense of style and sympathy for the nuances of the words so it was no surprise to hear him say that he loved almost all English music, especially Purcell, who was probably his favourite composer. ‘I even like Elgar’, he added, <em style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">‘Falstaff </em>especially, and of modern English music, everything from Britten to Richard Rodney Bennett’. He is always exploring folk and primitive music and this cross-fertilisation of early music is an imaginative breakthrough of the first order.</p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;

It was summer and we were all in the garden at 54 Bateman Street, the home of Mary Potts, whose late husband was L. J. Potts, the literary critic and English don at Queens’ College.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">Mary Potts had a very special role in the early music revival which has not been acknowledged [other than in this <a href="https://bit.ly/x7rJoi" style="color: #666666; font-weight: bold; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Semibrevity blog post</a>]. A mere mention of her more distinguished pupils, who included <a href="https://bit.ly/1BhnPmH" style="color: #666666; font-weight: bold; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Christopher Hogwood</a>, Colin Tilney and Peter Williams, is enough to indicate that she ought to be better known now. She knew harpsichordists of international reputation such as Gustav Leonhardt, Raphael Puyana and Kenneth Gilbert. Her own performances were on a more modest scale but she played in and around Cambridge for over fifty years. At May Week concerts she was especially busy taking her harpsichord round various colleges. She became a focus for early music activities long before David Munrow propelled these into a new public orbit through his recitals, lectures and broadcasts. Her influence could perhaps be seen as complementary to that of <a href="https://bit.ly/qLSby6" style="color: #666666; font-weight: bold; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Thurston Dart </a>in the official Cambridge University Music Faculty.</p><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_3939" style="background-color: #f3f3f3; border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; height: auto; margin: 10px auto 0px; max-width: 96%; padding-top: 4px; text-align: center; width: 310px;"><a href="https://www.semibrevity.com/wp-content/uploads/mary-1950-shudi-sm2.jpg" style="color: #666666; font-weight: bold; text-decoration-line: none;"><img alt="Mary Potts c.1950 at her Shudi harpsichord" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3939" class="wp-image-3939 size-medium" height="223" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="https://www.semibrevity.com/wp-content/uploads/mary-1950-shudi-sm2-300x223.jpg" srcset="//www.semibrevity.com/wp-content/uploads/mary-1950-shudi-sm2-300x223.jpg 300w, //www.semibrevity.com/wp-content/uploads/mary-1950-shudi-sm2-150x111.jpg 150w, //www.semibrevity.com/wp-content/uploads/mary-1950-shudi-sm2-400x297.jpg 400w, //www.semibrevity.com/wp-content/uploads/mary-1950-shudi-sm2.jpg 532w" style="border-radius: 3px; border: 0px none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text" id="caption-attachment-3939" style="color: #666666; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 4px 5px;">Mary Potts at her beloved Shudi harpsichord in about 1950 © Estate of Mary Potts 2017</p></div><p style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">Mary Potts was born in 1905 and studied at the Royal College of Music from 1923-28 as a pianist but also took harpsichord lessons with <a href="https://bit.ly/rlwAbI" style="color: #666666; font-weight: bold; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Arnold Dolmetsch </a>and was a regular visitor to Haslemere for some years. When she married L. J. Potts she moved to Cambridge in 1930. Her own harpsichord was made in the eighteenth-century by the Swiss-Englishman Burkat Shudi (1702-73): it was bought from Dolmetsch, and some of the first rehearsals of Munrow’s Early Music Consort took place in her music room. She died in 1982 and will long be remembered for her generous and sympathetic encouragement of younger musicians.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">Mary Potts was not just involved with the [music of the] past. She encouraged young composers too and I wrote my <em>Variations on a French Folk Tune</em> for her. (Recorded by Jane Chapman, a Potts pupil, on Heritage HTGCD 259)</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">She gave the first performance at the University Music Club in 1957 and also played the keyboard part in my Quintet for flute, clarinet, violin, cello and harpsichord (now destroyed). This kind of activity makes a productive link with David Munrow who also believed that early music instruments were not just archaic survivals but needed new repertoire.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">My next contact with Munrow was in connection with my chamber piece he had commissioned called <em>Translations</em> for recorder, gamba (Oliver Brookes) and harpsichord (Christopher Hogwood). The trio was known as the Early Music Consort of London and gave the premiere at the Purcell Room on 20 February 1971. At the time there were very few British works that used multi-phonics for the recorder so we worked out what was possible. I also worked with Oliver Brookes on the use of twentieth-century techniques applied to the viola da gamba. For early music players some of Translations was distinctly innovative – that was the reason for the title. Unfortunately they never recorded it. However, <a href="https://bit.ly/2lu4gdx" style="color: #666666; font-weight: bold; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">John Turner </a>later gave several performances with Oliver Brookes and Keith Elcombe.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">Just over a year after <em>Translations</em> later David commissioned a solo piece – <em>Recorder Music.</em> At this period he was becoming widely known for one of the liveliest programmes broadcast on BBC Radio 3 – <em>Pied Piper</em>, which ran from 1971-76 with over 600 episodes. In addition to all his concert work, lectures and teaching he researched and presented this weekly programme, putting not only himself but his skilled producer the late Arthur Johnson under enormous pressure. (See <a href="https://bit.ly/2kK4JEd" style="color: #666666; font-weight: bold; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Peter Dickinson, Arthur Johnson, obituary, The Guardian, 11 December 2014</a>)</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">Since Munrow went around recording interviews with people I thought it would be perfectly natural for him to come onto the stage, switch on his portable tape-recorder and proceed to perform alongside it. So that was the basis of <em>Recorder Music</em>. I again used a range of material, including multi-phonics, and incorporated my <em>Air</em> <em>for solo flute</em> (1959). (Recorded by Duke Dobing on Naxos 8.572287) I adapted this melody for an instrument David had brought back from his travels in Peru – a notch flute called the kena. Then, knowing what a startling impression this would give in a live performance, I included a march for David to play on two recorders at once – the garkleinflötlein and the sopranino. This comes back at the end but with the much larger tenor and bass recorders together – even more of a mouthful. The live performer is without tape for a central cadenza, which is alarmingly difficult. David arrived at our house one day saying that he’d been practising it for nine hours.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">He gave the first performance of <em>Recorder Music</em> on 8 February 1973 at the Wigmore Hall. However, it seemed more satisfactory to have good quality tape-playback rather than a portable machine and this made the whole business inconvenient and expensive. The best medium for this kind of piece is a recording or a broadcast and so David recorded <em>Recorder Music</em> for EMI and it came out in 1975 at the end of his two-LP survey called <em>The Art of the Recorder</em>. (EMI SLS 5022; now on CD with Testament SBT2-1368) I wrote a memorial tribute for a BBC concert in Manchester on 7 May 1977, at which Munrow was to have played <em>Recorder Music</em>. <em>A Memory of David Munrow</em> is for two counter-tenors, two recorders, gamba and harpsichord, using only material from the two pieces I wrote for him.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">My last professional connection with David was the strangest of all. He was involved with music for a science-fiction film written, produced and directed by John Boorman – <em>Zardoz</em> (1974), which became famous for the role played by Sean Connery, and still goes the rounds. (On DVD Twentieth-Century Fox, F1-SGB 01208DVD (1974) The name comes from <em>The Wizard of Oz</em> and the film is set in the year 2293.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">Apart from the <em>Allegretto</em> of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony in various arrangements, David must have provided choral textures with tone-clusters as anguished support for some scenes of conflict. One day David telephoned me and the conversation ran something like this:</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">‘We’re doing this music for <em>Zardoz</em> and John Boorman is a bit short of some spectacular sounds for a chariot swooping down from outer space. I said that you could improvise this if he booked a big organ in a city church. It’s fixed for tomorrow morning – can you come?’</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">Luckily I could and when I got to St Andrews, Holborn, on 19 October 1973, Boorman was there with all the technical people set up to record the organ. He told me what was going on in the film – he needed music for the space-ship and associated supernatural elements. We tried various things out. When he liked what I played it was recorded – all in a morning. It seemed to be the easiest way to do film music – and the easiest money too.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">The last time I spoke to David was on the telephone in 1976. It was in my second year at Keele University, where I had started the Music Department as the first Professor. David said he was concerned to find – most unusually – a two-week gap in the concert schedule for the Early Music Consort in the coming year and wondered if I could help. I can’t now remember what I said, but I’m sure I was encouraging; it was May and I spoke to him looking out over the apple trees in blossom in our garden in Keele village. Two weeks later he was dead and I heard the shocked voice of Christopher Hogwood in a BBC Radio 3 tribute – but what a truly astonishing legacy from such a short, high-voltage career.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">This is an edited extract from <em><a href="https://bit.ly/2kJZGUt" style="color: #666666; font-weight: bold; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Peter Dickinson: Words and Music</a></em>, which was published in 2016 by Boydell & Brewer.</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">The above is from https://www.semibrevity.com/ an excellent blog on the history of early music and the people involved. </p>Robert Searlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15492364980305779010noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939949820399496841.post-69743089711585725982021-10-05T02:57:00.003-07:002021-10-09T03:36:56.975-07:00Shirley Collins on David Munrow
The legendary British folk singer Shirley Collins once said of David Munrow that he was incandescent.
“He had so much energy that you really did feel if you put your finger on him you would get an electric shock.
“I've never met anybody like him for absolute focus, and this energy crackling out of him.”
It was an opinion widely shared.....(ref/Elsewhere/2021/)

</h1>
Conception & research: Pierre-F. Roberge<br /> For comments, additions and corrections <a href="mailto:mccomb@medieval.org">mccomb@medieval.org</a> (<a href="http://www.medieval.org/emfaq/pfr.html">continuing this discography for PFR</a>)<br /> Last update: 11/30/2012<br />
This is an "<i>under construction</i>" and for now a quite complete discography of David Munrow.<br />
<strong>BIOGRAPHY</strong><br />
<ul><b>(This biography is based closely on an excerpt of James Durant's text appearing on the back cover of the Angel edition of Munrow's <i>Renaissance suite</i>, with corrections from Gillian Munrow, and minor editing.)</b><br />
David Munrow's passion for early music and musical instruments commenced in 1960 when he was 18. Teaching in Peru under the British Council Overseas Voluntary Scheme, he became interested in South American folk music and took back to England with him Bolivian flutes, Peruvian pipes, and dozens of other obscure instruments. The following year he entered Cambridge as an English major. There a crumhorn hanging off a friend's wall aroused his interest and led him to delve deeply into an independent study of Renaissance and Medieval music.<br />
Munrow's previous musical training had consisted of tuition in piano and bassoon. He had also been a chorister at Birmingham Cathedral. Early instruments now absorbed him, and he commenced to collect them in great numbers. Instructors in the field being scarce, he mastered alone the techniques of playing his finds, by reading intensively in the field and by endless practice and experiment. After a year's research at Birmingham University, he spent the years 1965 to 1968 in consolidating his ideas and technique. During that time, he was asked by Guy Woolfendon to join the Royal Shakespeare Company in order to play "authentic" instruments for their productions. With his wife Gillian Reid, he also toured music clubs and schools to lecture on early music. Due to other time commitments, he soon left the Royal Shakespeare Company.<br />
In 1967 Munrow became a lecturer at Leicester University in early music history. The same year saw the London debut of his Early Music Consort of London. This excellent ensemble of virtuosos was basically a five-man group capable of touring, but with other singers and instrumentalists in association for concerts requiring larger forces.<br />
In 1968, the Consort made its first foreign tour, launching Munrow and the group upon their path to international acclaim. During their travels, Munrow ransacked foreign marketplaces for exotic instruments of old origins. He also commissioned careful reconstructions of otherwise unobtainable antiquities from such instrumental families as the cornett, rackett, kortholt and others.<br />
Worldwide recognition and popularity came to Munrow when he created the scores for the outstanding BBC TV series <i>The Six Wives of Henry VIII</i> and <i>Elizabeth R</i>, widely televised abroad. The soundtrack for the former became a bestselling album which won still greater audiences for the early music Munrow loved.<br />
Munrow extended his activities with the Consort to a heavy schedule of concerts, tours, and the making of numerous albums, encompassing the early music of many countries. His popular English radio series <i>Pied Piper</i> considered music of all eras. In the eight years of Munrow's all-too-brief career before his death in 1976, he also wrote a book <i>Instruments of the Middle Ages and Renaissance</i> (Oxford University Press. London: 1976) (<a href="http://www.medieval.org/emfaq/cds/emi988.htm">EMI (His Master's Voice) SLS 988</a>) and composed and arranged the scores for four feature films, including Ken Russell's <i>The Devils</i>, the EMI-MGM <i>Henry VIII</i> (<a href="http://www.medieval.org/emfaq/cds/hmv9001.htm">HMV CSD A9001</a>), John Boorman's <i>Zardoz</i> (<a href="http://www.medieval.org/emfaq/cds/cbs1208.htm">CBS/FOX No. 1298</a>), and the French documentary <i>La Course en téte</i> (<a href="http://www.medieval.org/emfaq/cds/emi1415.htm">EMI (His Master's Voice) HQS 1415</a> Renaissance suite), produced by Vincent Malle and directed by Joël Santoni.</ul>
<hr />
For further reading, I suggest one interview that appeared in the Gramophone (May 1974, p. 2009 - David Munrow Talks to Alan Blyth) and "Obituaries" in July 1976 edition of the Gramophone (p. 154). The last one gives to the reader a general understanding of the personality of this "man of manic energy."<br />
<hr />
<strong>CONTENT</strong><br />
This discography is divided into three parts.<br />
<ul><b>Part I</b> lists the original recordings (52 original LPs or video), re-edited material containing tracks not previously released or original material on CD not previously released. Each individual titles is linked to a descriptive section containing as much informations as possible about the original recording; this description is cross-linked to available CDs actually on the market (December 1999) in North America or Western Europe. Great care have been taken to prevent misinformations and a large part of the data originates from records themselves (although often not as reliable as it should be). If the recording was not available, the content originates from usual sources (periodicals such as The Gramophone (and the Catalogue), Diapason (and the Catalogue), Bielefelder Katalog, Notes, and Fanfare, etc.). Alas ! if all this failed, reference was made to the french book "Diapason - Guide de la musique ancienne et baroque" (Coll. Bouquins, Robert Laffond, 1993) [GMAB]; although impressive in term of quality and amount of content, readers should be careful about many recording dates listed. Also data has been re-checked using the Indiana University Library excellent database [IUCAT]. For those interested in discography of medieval and renaissance period, they should refer to the following three publications:<br />
<ol>
<li>Medieval and Renaissance Music on Long-Playing Records<br /> James Coover and Richard Colvig<br /> Detroit Studies in Music Bibliography # 6 (-end of 1961)<br /> Information service, Incorporated<br /> 10, West Warren, Detroit 1, Michigan</li>
<li>Medieval and Renaissance Music on Long-Playing Records<br /> James Coover and Richard Colvig<br /> Detroit Studies in Music Bibliography # (1962-1970 + corrections to # 6)<br /> Information service, Incorporated<br /> 10, West Warren, Detroit 1, Michigan</li>
<li>Early Music Discography - From Plainsong to the Sons of Bach<br /> Vol. 1: Record Index (covers 1970-1980)<br /> Oryx Press</li>
</ol>
Also I should mention an excellent serie of publications edited by Garland: (name of the composer) A Guide to research. Very noteworthy is the one on Guillaume de Machaut by Lawrence Earp published in 1995. I am also aware of an edition on Josquin DesPrez and Obrecht/Ockheghem, Purcell, Byrd.<br />
I tried to list titles according to their label and release dates. In the linked section, I tried to follow the track order of recording; in some cases when the recording was not available, the order may need correction by a careful reader owning the disc. In Part I, my goal is to cover all original recordings, but this may well be wishful thinking without comments and corrections. These could be directed to my E-mail address (pfr@videotron.ca). Credit for any significant contribution will be given at the end of the discography.<br />
<b>Part II</b> deals mostly with reedition on CDs; I will try to be complete, but the goals is really to inform readers about available recordings on the market.<br />
<b>Part III</b> lists composers recorded by David Munrow; it will become eventually an index of works interpreted by David Munrow. This will be done when Part I and II is completed</ul>
This is a quite complete discography, except for part III. A certain amount of typographical corrections are needed and the content will be regularly up-dated.<br />

<br />
The following comes from a book by Albert Davis ("Dave") Munrow entitled Pure and Applied Gymnastics (1955). The photos from it came via someone calling themselves Sarah. They are believed to be the three members of the Munrow family. At the top ofcourse, the young person on the left is believed to be David Munrow. The following pics of the same woman are probably his mother Hilda who used to teach dance, and at the bottom Albert Davis ("Dave") Munrow who was a well-known, and respected PE instructor. Incidently, one of my contacts claimed that he was always worried whenever his son went rock climbing!! <br />I may try, or not to get some better reproductions of the images presented.RS

Norman Michael MacNamara Morrow was born on 2 October 1929, in London, to his Irish parents Larry and Léonie Morrow. His formal education began in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin" title="Dublin">Dublin</a>, when he was sent to St Andrew's school in Clyde Road. However, as Michael suffered from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemophilia_B" title="Haemophilia B">Christmas disease</a>, a form of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemophilia" title="Haemophilia">haemophilia</a>, he had to be educated at home.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-1">[1]</a></sup> <br />
Between 1946 and 1947, the family lived in London, where Michael attended the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ealing,_Hammersmith_and_West_London_College" title="Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College">Hammersmith School of Art</a>. When the family returned to Dublin and lived in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzwilliam_Square" title="Fitzwilliam Square">Fitzwilliam Square</a>, Michael continued his studies at the National College of Art. The family then moved to Belfast, where he attended the Belfast College of Art. After about six months he returned to the National College of Art in Dublin, where one of his classmates was Beatrice ffrench-Salkeld, daughter of the <i>avant-garde</i> artist Cecil ffrench-Salkeld. Beatrice later married the Irish writer and playwright, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Behan" title="Brendan Behan">Brendan Behan</a>. A little later, Beatrice's sister Celia dated the artist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reginald_Gray_(artist)" title="Reginald Gray (artist)">Reginald Gray</a>, who was also a friend of Michael's. Michael taught Reginald and Celia to play the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recorder_(musical_instrument)" title="Recorder (musical instrument)">recorder</a>.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-2"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-2">[2]</a></sup> <br />
Michael also befriended John ffrench, whose work was exhibited with Beatrice and Michael's. John lived at Castleffrench, near <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballinasloe" title="Ballinasloe">Ballinasloe</a> in the West of Ireland. As Michael had developed an interest in ornithology and falconry, he spent time at Castleffrench, where he painted, played music and hawked.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-3">[3]</a></sup> <br />
Michael eventually rejoined his family, who now had moved back to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzwilliam_Square" title="Fitzwilliam Square">Fitzwilliam Square</a>. After a couple of years the family left and moved to a house on Strand Road at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrion_Gates" title="Merrion Gates">Merrion</a>, overlooking Dublin bay. At this point, in 1950, Michael met the young musician and harpsichord player <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_S._Beckett" title="John S. Beckett">John Beckett</a> in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Library_of_Ireland" title="National Library of Ireland">National Library of Ireland</a>. This chance meeting would, in time, alter the course of both young men's lives.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-4">[4]</a></sup> <br />
Having won the Henry Higgins Travelling Scholarship while studying in the National College of Art, Michael spent a year in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich" title="Munich">Munich</a>, Paris and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence" title="Florence">Florence</a>, where he shared a pension with John ffrench. He returned to Dublin in September 1952 with Werner Schürmann, a sculptor and singer whom he had met in Munich.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-5"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-5">[5]</a></sup> In 1953, Michael accompanied the tenor John Bilton on lute for four twenty-minute radio programmes, devised and presented by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_S._Beckett" title="John S. Beckett">John Beckett</a>, entitled <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dowland" title="John Dowland">John Dowland</a>'s Achievement as a Song Writer</i>. These were broadcast in July and August on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT%C3%89_Radio" title="RTÉ Radio">Radio Éireann</a>.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-6"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-6">[6]</a></sup> Later in the year he designed scenery for the new <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pike_Theatre" title="Pike Theatre">Pike Theatre</a> Club, Dublin, founded by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Simpson_(theatre_director)" title="Alan Simpson (theatre director)">Alan Simpson</a> and Carolyn Swift. It was hoped that the tiny theatre would stage the first performance of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Beckett" title="Samuel Beckett">Samuel Beckett</a>'s play <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_Godot" title="Waiting for Godot">Waiting for Godot</a></i>, but this was not to be; it was finally performed in the Pike in October 1955.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-7"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-7">[7]</a></sup> <br />

As there was little or no work for Michael in Dublin, he finally left for England at the end of 1953, and settled down in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampstead" title="Hampstead">Hampstead</a>, where John Beckett was now living.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-8"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-8">[8]</a></sup> <br />
At some time during this period, Michael and John Beckett worked in Forte's Monaco restaurant in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piccadilly_Circus" title="Piccadilly Circus">Piccadilly Circus</a>, famous for its musical fountain.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-9"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-9">[9]</a></sup> When not operating the fountain, Michael spent his time transcribing old music from a variety of sources found in libraries and museums in London. When in Dublin, he had studied important manuscripts in Marsh's Library and <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_College,_Dublin" title="Trinity College, Dublin">Trinity College</a>, especially ones containing lute music.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-10"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-10">[10]</a></sup> He now became interested in music of the thirteenth century and onwards, which meant that he had to teach himself various systems of notation to transcribe pieces into modern notation.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-11"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-11">[11]</a></sup> <br />

During the mid 1950s, Michael, John Beckett and the recorder player John Sothcott played together and discussed medieval and early Renaissance music in various Hampstead coffee bars.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-12"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-12">[12]</a></sup> Michael was determined to inject more life and vigour into their performances, in contrast to the accepted style of the period. This decision was based on his observations when listening to European and non-European folk music, in which medieval traditions of singing and playing had been preserved.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-13"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-13">[13]</a></sup> Michael, the two Johns and the counter-tenor <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grayston_Burgess" title="Grayston Burgess">Grayston Burgess</a> often played and rehearsed either in Michael's flat or in a converted chapel at 17 Holly Mount, Hampstead, which was owned by Heinz and Ruth Liebrecht.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-14"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-14">[14]</a></sup> <br />
Towards the end of 1959, Michael married Hedy Pelc. She came from an Austrian <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish" title="Jewish">Jewish</a> family that had moved to England in 1938. Hedy lived in Hampstead, and she and Michael had met through a mutual friend. After they had married, they shared a flat with John Beckett and his wife Vera in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frognal" title="Frognal">Frognal</a>. Later they moved and finally settled in 9 Aberdare Gardens, Hampstead.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-15"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-15">[15]</a></sup> <br />
The first proper public concert given by Musica Reservata took place in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenton_House" title="Fenton House">Fenton House</a>, Hampstead on 30 January 1960.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-16"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-16">[16]</a></sup> Many more concerts followed, including one in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wigmore_Hall" title="Wigmore Hall">Wigmore Hall</a> on 26 June 1963,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-17"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-17">[17]</a></sup> and most importantly, the so-called 'début' concert held in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Elizabeth_Hall" title="Queen Elizabeth Hall">Queen Elizabeth Hall</a>, on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Bank" title="South Bank">South Bank</a>, which took place on 2 July 1967.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-18"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-18">[18]</a></sup> The group shot to fame after this and thereafter it was frequently engaged for concerts and recordings; see the separate entry <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musica_Reservata_(early_music_group)" title="Musica Reservata (early music group)">Musica Reservata</a>. <br />
In the early 1970s, tension began to grow between Morrow (who was disorganised by nature) and Beckett, and soon a rift began to appear in the relationship.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-19"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-19">[19]</a></sup> By the end of 1973, John left Musica Reservata, though he never lost his admiration for Michael. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Parrott" title="Andrew Parrott">Andrew Parrott</a> then conducted the group until it was disbanded in the 1980s.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-20"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-20">[20]</a></sup> <br />

Michael Morrow died on 20 April 1994 from Hepatitis C. John Beckett attended his funeral at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golders_Green_Crematorium" title="Golders Green Crematorium">Golders Green Crematorium</a>, where he made an impromptu speech in praise of his friend.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-21"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Morrow#cite_note-21">[21]</a></sup> In July 1995, a 'Colloquium on Early Music in Memory of Michael Morrow' was held in Heinz and Ruth Liebrecht's house in Hampstead. The theme was <i>New Thoughts about Old Music</i>.

One of a series of seven letters, handwritten by David Munrow to his beloved teddy bears and toys while he was on holiday in Cornwall as a young boy in the 1950s. In these affectionate and newsy letters to bears ‘Humph, Ginge and Eddy,’ David paints an exciting picture of his holiday activities for the soft toys left behind in his Birmingham bedroom: ‘We have caught eight fish…we eat them for breakfast’; ‘I really ought to have written before but we have been so busy painting the boat’; ‘The other day I tried to reach a stick in the water and Plosh! In I went with all my clothes on’; ‘I hope you arn’t [sic] too lonely at home but we've only got another week down here’.<br />
David Munrow’s intelligence, imagination and wit shine through. He adds a post script to many of the letters from a toy named ‘Poo’, which he writes in a different hand and with deliberately bad spelling: ‘I am rather lonely here sumtimes but its nise when the sun chine’; ‘I hop yoo are orl wel cos we are. Lots of Luv Poo’<br />
Accompanying the letters are other objects from David’s childhood: a handwritten exercise book of plays and the three teddy bears who are not only the main addressees of the letters but also star as some of the principal ‘actors’ in David’s plays. This collection of objects provides a wonderful insight into the early interests and imagination of a child who went on to become a well-known musician and broadcaster. <br />

<br />
The following is a link to the papers of Munrow's father who was a PE teacher who wanted to spread the word of the need for physical, and mental health via exercise. <br />Also, one of the things that his son David loved doing was rock climbing! However, as a father he naturally feared for his safety but his offspring was absolutely fearless...!

Its construction in 1939-41 followed the Physical Training Act of 1937, promoted by the prime minister Neville Chamberlain as part of a drive to improve public health by integrating physical education into daily life. It was built under the supervision of Albert Davis Munrow, who was appointed Director of Physical Education by the university in 1939 and remained in post until he retired in 1970. This full time position was established to make physical education and instruction an integral part of the university curriculum; in the same year, physical education was made compulsory for all first year students......</span><br />

For most of history, the territory of what people called music didn’t extend very far. It consisted, by and large, of the sounds and styles they grew up with. Anything else was a barbaric noise. </div>
<div class="secondPar">
Now, the territory seems endless. It stretches outwards to “ethnic” non-Western instruments and beyond them to electronic sound. And part of the reason we can stroll round this infinity with such insouciance is that a handful of explorers got there first. They mapped the territory, captured the sounds, and made them available to armchair explorers back home. </div>
<div class="thirdPar">
One of these intrepid souls was David Munrow. His particular unknown territory was the distant past of “classical music”. In a brief but blazing career — he committed suicide in 1976 aged 33 — he unearthed a treasury of instrumental music from the medieval and Renaissance periods, and brought it to life in performances of unsurpassed brilliance. For about 10 years, his group, the Early Music Consort, toured incessantly, and produced more than a dozen recordings. </div>
<div class="fourthPar">
One of the Consort’s players was Christopher Hogwood, a keyboard player and conductor who later set up the renowned Academy of Ancient Music. He met Munrow when they were students at Pembroke College, Cambridge. </div>
<div class="fifthPar">
“I remember I had the job of arranging Sunday morning concerts for the Dean,” says Hogwood, “and someone told me about this chap who had spent a year teaching English in Peru, and had come home with dozens of exotic instruments. But he also played recorder and bassoon as well, so he was very useful. He’d got interested in old instruments in Cambridge, and had this amazing ability to play anything he laid his hands on. Really, he could have made music out of a chair-leg. </div>

“Towards the end of our time in Cambridge, he organised a concert of Renaissance dance-band music, gathering together anyone who could play these strange old instruments such as dulcians and shawms. That was the beginning of the Early Music Consort.” <br />
Being a member of this travelling medieval roadshow was very demanding. “We had to fit the repertoire to only five or six players,” says Hogwood, “so we all had to multi-task. I played percussion and sang, as well as playing keyboards. David had to persuade us all to learn the crumhorn [a curved reed instrument], which wasn’t easy in my case, as I thought it made a horrible noise. But David beat all of us with his 43 instruments.” <br />
Nigel North, the lute player who joined the group in its final years, remembers Munrow’s astounding energy. “He was totally wrapped up in his passion, and he wanted everyone to share it. But he wasn’t just a musician, he was a great entrepreneur and organiser. He was one of those people who notices everything, so he could pick up on people’s strengths.” <br />
As well as giving concerts, Munrow was a brilliant broadcaster. Any music-lover over 50 will remember Pied Piper, a long-running educational series on Radio 3. And between the incessant recording, touring, broadcasting and unearthing old music in libraries, Munrow was also a professor of early music at Leicester University. <br />
In all, it’s an astonishing legacy, which is being celebrated at the Bath Festival next month in an event to mark the 70th anniversary of Munrow’s birth. It’s to be hosted by Nicholas Kenyon, managing director of the Barbican and a long-time devotee of this fascinating music. <br />
“What made Munrow different was that he was the first real professional of the early-music scene,” says Kenyon. “All this stuff had actually been going on for decades, for small circles of connoisseurs in places like the Haslemere Festival. Munrow burst all that wide open and showed that this music could operate at the highest level. Also he realised that the concerts had to be entertaining and well organised. You couldn’t play a two-minute piece and expect everyone to wait 10 minutes while you tuned the instruments. <br />
“I think it chimed in with the interest in anything exotic that was part of pop culture at that time. And remember an awful lot of people heard this music indirectly through television drama. It was Munrow’s group that provided the music for those ground-breaking series like The Six Wives of Henry VIII.” <br />
The irony is that those recordings of the 1970s, with the performers lined up in kipper ties, and the general feeling of missionary zeal, have become period pieces themselves. But Kenyon thinks that in some ways they were ahead of their time. “People say that Munrow gave a skewed picture of the era, because most music of the Renaissance era was vocal, not instrumental,” says Kenyon. “And they say an awful lot of invention went into those recreations. Which is true, but that’s what makes them valuable. People have come to realise that early music isn’t about 'getting it right’, it’s about using the text as a springboard for your own imagination. In that respect, Munrow was way ahead of his time.” <br />

MUSIC!<br /><br />We'd attend gigs regularly, bought NME every single week for 9 years and even started a few fan sites on Geocities.<br /><br />The passion for us, fuelled by our teenage desire to be hip and cool, gradually faded, but for the people involved in <em>Ancestral Voices </em>music was a way of life.<br /><h3 style="margin: 0px; position: relative;">
<br />Melodies from the Past</h3>
<br />With an amazing title that sounds like the greatest Led Zeppelin album never recorded, <em>Ancestral Voices </em>was the BBC's attempt to educate the masses about the history of music.<br /><br />Sure, everyone loved music, but did they know anything about its origins prior to Dylan going electric?<br /><br />The answer was "probably not".<br /><br />Therefore, it was time for David Munrow - master of the bassoon and even more curious sounding instruments - to step forward and explore the history of sounds, rhythms and singalongs.<br /><br />The series saw Munrow detailing the evolution of instruments such as horns, flutes and hunting bows (the godfathers of stringed instruments) as well as the ancient myths and practices surrounding them.<br /><br />Munrow was flanked by a myriad of musicians who were on hand to demonstrate the mysterious sounds of these ancient instruments. A willing audience were also present to chant/sing in the most peculiar tongues.<br /><b></b><br /><h3 style="margin: 0px; position: relative;">
The Story behind the Music</h3>
<br /><em>Ancestral Voices </em>was borne from director <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2011/mar/17/paul-kriwaczek-obituary" style="color: #9a9a9a; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Paul Kriwaczek's</a> love of ancient civilisations and desire to create educational programmes.<br /><br />Kriwaczek was backed by well loved producer <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2014/jun/05/victor-poole" style="color: #9a9a9a; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Victor Poole</a> who amassed a varied career working with the likes of Fanny Cradock, Anthony Burgess and Jane Glover.<br /><br />Five episodes were transmitted in Spring 1976 on BBC2 on Monday evenings. The series was later repeated on BBC1 in Autumn 1976. Further repeats of the series came in 1978 (BBC2) and 1980 (BBC1).<br /><b></b><br /><h3 style="margin: 0px; position: relative;">
Opening Our Ears to Ancient Sounds</h3>
<strong></strong><br />We were browsing through the BBC's fantastic <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/" style="color: #9a9a9a; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Genome</a> project when we stumbled across <em>Ancestral Voices.</em><br /><em></em><br />Now, we love all things retro, but here was a completely different league of retro, they were going waaaaaay back.<br /><br />This we had to investigate!<br /><br />Online searches revealed not even a clip, but our dear old friends at the BFI were only too happy to furnish us with an episode.<br /><br />The main aspect of the show which grabs you is David Munrow's passion. He's absolutely obsessed with the history of music and, at times, he works himself into an enthused rapture as he preaches passionately about the evolution of music.<br /><br />And, yes, we loved seeing and hearing these ancient instruments. In fact, it gave us a great perspective on just how Royal Blood have come to be smashing their instruments wildly on stage and creating such a beautiful racket.<br /><br />However...<br /><br />The show is just <em>too</em> specialised for the average Joe!<br /><br />We love a bit of educational telly, but this went in to far too much depth!<br /><br />It surprised us, actually, that this went out in an early evening slot as the whole show feels much more like an Open University programme.<br /><br />The show appears - although we only watched one episode - to be entirely studio bound and this contributes to a repetitive format where the camera just shifts from one corner of the studio to another. Some location filming could have easily broken this up.<br /><br />For the first time in our history of visiting the BFI, we actually had to fast forward through the tape as it was boring us.<br /><br />The show's dated terribly too. The fashions and haircuts are just so 70s that it hurts. Just how huge can a shirt collar be for Christ's sake?!<br /><br />And then there's the musicians.<br /><br />Imagine some German campers with the cheesiest grins you can imagine and you're not even close to the shivers we experienced down our spine as we watched them bob their heads sinisterly to the ancient rhythms.<br /><br />And when the audience linked arms and began to sing a drinking song against the lilting sounds of a lyre and flute, our heads were in our hands.<br /><br />We don't think we could stomach another episode of this.<br /><br />The intentions are first class, but it's such a niche area that only a tiny audience would get enjoyment from <em>Ancestral Voices.</em><br /><br /><h3 style="margin: 0px; position: relative;">
The Tragedy of David Munrow</h3>
<br />We may have found it a cringey, borefest at times, but David Munrow' passion was evident throughout and was impossible not to admire.<br /><br />Sadly, before the programme even aired he had committed suicide. This tragic event has been contributed to depression and followed a suicide attempt in the previous year.<br /><br />Despite working with his passion on a daily business it was no match for the debilitating effects of mental illness.<br /><br />It's a stern reminder of the fragility of our mental health and how, at our lowest points, even our greatest loves can't save us.</div>

Musica alle corti d’Inghilterra dai Plantageneti agli Stuart.<br />
Il programma, come dice il titolo, ha una sua precisa qualificazione. Si tratta di musiche fra il XII e il XVII secolo, eseguite in Inghilterra alle Corti di Riccardo I, Enrico V, Enrico VIII, Elisabetta I, Giacomo I e Carlo I. Ricorrono così, accanto ai nomi degli strumenti antichi - quali il liuto, la viola da gamba, la tromba medievale, il cromorno, la ribeca, la citola, la dulciana, il cembalo, ecc. - i nomi delle celebri dinastie inglesi quali Tudor, Stuart, Plantageneti e Lancaster.<br />
E tra gli autori spiccano proprio alcuni Sovrani che scrissero musiche eseguite poi nelle feste a Corte. Infatti di Carlo I Stuart avremo l'aria «Guarda la purpurea aurora»; di Enrico VIII saranno eseguiti due brani: «Colui che implora la grazia» e «Passatempo in buona compagnia»; e ascolteremo persino un brano del famoso Riccardo Cuor di Leone intitolato «Ja nus hons pris».<br />
(note dal programma di sala)<br />
<br />
Questo fu il primo vero e proprio concerto dedicato in Vicenza alla musica del Medioevo e Rinascimento utilizzando gli strumenti tipici dell’epoca. Venne commissionato dalla Società del Quartetto di Vicenza, fu un evento non convenzionale per la città a quell’epoca, e si tenne all’Auditorium Canneti, gloriosa sala visitata da grandi artisti e oggi purtroppo non più utilizzata a causa delle norme sulla sicurezza, divenute più severe.<br />

<strong>Guest Blogger: Peter Dickinson</strong> is a composer, writer and pianist and an Emeritus Professor of two universities – Keele and London. See <a href="http://bit.ly/2lu4Nw8" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #666666;">here</span></strong></a> for more details.<br />
‘My wife and I first met David and Gill Munrow in Cambridge in about 1965. It was summer and we were all in the garden at 54 Bateman Street, the home of Mary Potts, whose late husband was L. J. Potts, the literary critic and English don at Queens’ College.<br />
Mary Potts had a very special role in the early music revival which has not been acknowledged [other than in this <a href="http://bit.ly/x7rJoi" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #666666;">Semibrevity blog post</span></strong></a>]. A mere mention of her more distinguished pupils, who included <a href="http://bit.ly/1BhnPmH" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #666666;">Christopher Hogwood</span></strong></a>, Colin Tilney and Peter Williams, is enough to indicate that she ought to be better known now. She knew harpsichordists of international reputation such as Gustav Leonhardt, Raphael Puyana and Kenneth Gilbert. Her own performances were on a more modest scale but she played in and around Cambridge for over fifty years. At May Week concerts she was especially busy taking her harpsichord round various colleges. She became a focus for early music activities long before David Munrow propelled these into a new public orbit through his recitals, lectures and broadcasts. Her influence could perhaps be seen as complementary to that of <a href="http://bit.ly/qLSby6" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #666666;">Thurston Dart </span></strong></a>in the official Cambridge University Music Faculty.<br />
Mary Potts was born in 1905 and studied at the Royal College of Music from 1923-28 as a pianist but also took harpsichord lessons with <a href="http://bit.ly/rlwAbI" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #666666;">Arnold Dolmetsch </span></strong></a>and was a regular visitor to Haslemere for some years. When she married L. J. Potts she moved to Cambridge in 1930. Her own harpsichord was made in the eighteenth-century by the Swiss-Englishman Burkat Shudi (1702-73): it was bought from Dolmetsch, and some of the first rehearsals of Munrow’s Early Music Consort took place in her music room. She died in 1982 and will long be remembered for her generous and sympathetic encouragement of younger musicians.<br />
Mary Potts was not just involved with the [music of the] past. She encouraged young composers too and I wrote my <em>Variations on a French Folk Tune</em> for her. (Recorded by Jane Chapman, a Potts pupil, on Heritage HTGCD 259)<br />
She gave the first performance at the University Music Club in 1957 and also played the keyboard part in my Quintet for flute, clarinet, violin, cello and harpsichord (now destroyed). This kind of activity makes a productive link with David Munrow who also believed that early music instruments were not just archaic survivals but needed new repertoire.<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
My next contact with Munrow was in connection with my chamber piece he had commissioned called <em>Translations</em> for recorder, gamba (Oliver Brookes) and harpsichord (Christopher Hogwood). The trio was known as the Early Music Consort of London and gave the premiere at the Purcell Room on 20 February 1971. At the time there were very few British works that used multi-phonics for the recorder so we worked out what was possible. I also worked with Oliver Brookes on the use of twentieth-century techniques applied to the viola da gamba. For early music players some of Translations was distinctly innovative – that was the reason for the title. Unfortunately they never recorded it. However, <a href="http://bit.ly/2lu4gdx" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #666666;">John Turner </span></strong></a>later gave several performances with Oliver Brookes and Keith Elcombe.<br />
Just over a year after <em>Translations</em> later David commissioned a solo piece – <em>Recorder Music.</em> At this period he was becoming widely known for one of the liveliest programmes broadcast on BBC Radio 3 – <em>Pied Piper</em>, which ran from 1971-76 with over 600 episodes. In addition to all his concert work, lectures and teaching he researched and presented this weekly programme, putting not only himself but his skilled producer the late Arthur Johnson under enormous pressure. (See <a href="http://bit.ly/2kK4JEd" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #666666;">Peter Dickinson, Arthur Johnson, obituary, The Guardian, 11 December 2014</span></strong></a>)<br />
Since Munrow went around recording interviews with people I thought it would be perfectly natural for him to come onto the stage, switch on his portable tape-recorder and proceed to perform alongside it. So that was the basis of <em>Recorder Music</em>. I again used a range of material, including multi-phonics, and incorporated my <em>Air</em> <em>for solo flute</em> (1959). (Recorded by Duke Dobing on Naxos 8.572287) I adapted this melody for an instrument David had brought back from his travels in Peru – a notch flute called the kena. Then, knowing what a startling impression this would give in a live performance, I included a march for David to play on two recorders at once – the garkleinflötlein and the sopranino. This comes back at the end but with the much larger tenor and bass recorders together – even more of a mouthful. The live performer is without tape for a central cadenza, which is alarmingly difficult. David arrived at our house one day saying that he’d been practising it for nine hours.<br />
He gave the first performance of <em>Recorder Music</em> on 8 February 1973 at the Wigmore Hall. However, it seemed more satisfactory to have good quality tape-playback rather than a portable machine and this made the whole business inconvenient and expensive. The best medium for this kind of piece is a recording or a broadcast and so David recorded <em>Recorder Music</em> for EMI and it came out in 1975 at the end of his two-LP survey called <em>The Art of the Recorder</em>. (EMI SLS 5022; now on CD with Testament SBT2-1368) I wrote a memorial tribute for a BBC concert in Manchester on 7 May 1977, at which Munrow was to have played <em>Recorder Music</em>. <em>A Memory of David Munrow</em> is for two counter-tenors, two recorders, gamba and harpsichord, using only material from the two pieces I wrote for him.<br />
My last professional connection with David was the strangest of all. He was involved with music for a science-fiction film written, produced and directed by John Boorman – <em>Zardoz</em> (1974), which became famous for the role played by Sean Connery, and still goes the rounds. (On DVD Twentieth-Century Fox, F1-SGB 01208DVD (1974) The name comes from <em>The Wizard of Oz</em> and the film is set in the year 2293.<br />
Apart from the <em>Allegretto</em> of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony in various arrangements, David must have provided choral textures with tone-clusters as anguished support for some scenes of conflict. One day David telephoned me and the conversation ran something like this:<br />
‘We’re doing this music for <em>Zardoz</em> and John Boorman is a bit short of some spectacular sounds for a chariot swooping down from outer space. I said that you could improvise this if he booked a big organ in a city church. It’s fixed for tomorrow morning – can you come?’<br />
Luckily I could and when I got to St Andrews, Holborn, on 19 October 1973, Boorman was there with all the technical people set up to record the organ. He told me what was going on in the film – he needed music for the space-ship and associated supernatural elements. We tried various things out. When he liked what I played it was recorded – all in a morning. It seemed to be the easiest way to do film music – and the easiest money too.<br />
The last time I spoke to David was on the telephone in 1976. It was in my second year at Keele University, where I had started the Music Department as the first Professor. David said he was concerned to find – most unusually – a two-week gap in the concert schedule for the Early Music Consort in the coming year and wondered if I could help. I can’t now remember what I said, but I’m sure I was encouraging; it was May and I spoke to him looking out over the apple trees in blossom in our garden in Keele village. Two weeks later he was dead and I heard the shocked voice of Christopher Hogwood in a BBC Radio 3 tribute – but what a truly astonishing legacy from such a short, high-voltage career.<br />

He was playing the bassoon. The occasion was not without moments of stress, for Munrow’s fellow-musicians kept turning over two pages at once, or got confused over repeats in a Telemann sonata. Munrow puffed on undaunted. He revealed, rather, a wicked relish for some of the unexpectedly jarring discords that cropped up. It was hard to keep a straight face. If anyone had prophesied then that he would have future concert audiences doubled up in their seats with laughter, we should have concurred wholeheartedly. For Munrow’s abundant sense of comedy has always complemented his flair as an interpreter of music of the Bach epoch and before</figcaption></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
There has been no lack of early music specialists in this century, ranging from the Dolmetsch family to Noah Greenberg and the <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Pro_Musica"><span style="color: #005689;">New York Pro Musica</span></a>. Munrow seems to me to possess most of the scholarly virtues, but in addition, a concern and ability to communicate similar to that shown by <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/thurston-dart-mn0000068595"><span style="color: #005689;">Thurston Dart</span></a> in his concerts of baroque music given during the fifties. Few musicians are better equipped than Munrow to demonstrate that the crumhorns and <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.britannica.com/art/shawm"><span style="color: #005689;">shawms</span></a> of medieval and Renaissance music are fit to he appreciated not merely by antiquarians but by the public at large, from the humblest </div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
For a start, Munrow is a staggering performer on early woodwind instruments of all sizes and descriptions. When I first visited him in Stratford a few years back, his collection numbered over 150 instruments, and it has grown since then. Moreover he plays them all. </div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Virtuoso is an unfortunate and overworked epithet which Munrow would hate to have applied to him. And it’s true that a keen ear can spot occasional flaws in his articulation or phrasing, especially since his improvised decoration of fast music is sometimes far too ambitious – it can obscure the sense of the melodic line. But when all’s said and done, how else could one indicate the wizardry with which he will change from shawm to dulcian to <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.music.iastate.edu/antiqua/cornamus.htm"><span style="color: #005689;">cornamuse</span></a> to gemshorn to <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rauschpfeife"><span style="color: #005689;">rauschpfeife</span></a> to recorder to crumhorn to kortholt . . . (need I say et cetera) ... launching off immediately in each case with little or no preparation. Not even Mick Jagger can have such versatile lips.<br />
<br />
<br />
You have only to attend one of the hundreds of lecture-recitals on early woodwind instruments which Munrow gives up and down the country, and abroad, every year to realise how much his playing has caused such instruments to be taken seriously – to be thought of not merely as musical fossils, but as a range of sonorities that hold unlimited delights for the listener, and which today’s composers can find an invaluable stimulus. If you can’t get to one of his lecture recitals, then his exciting new demonstration disc, <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eIwOJAPEvQ"><span style="color: #005689;">The Medieval Sound</span></a> on the Oryx label, will serve the purpose: though seeing him play these colourful instruments inevitably adds further dimension.<br />

<div style="border-image: none;">
Munrow was not born with a<a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rauschpfeife"><span style="color: #005689;"> sopranino rauschpfeife</span></a> in his mouth. But his musical aspirations did develop early on. He took piano lessons from the age of six and (more important) sang in Birmingham Cathedral Choir, an experience that opened vistas on to music for him. When his voice broke he sought refuge in playing the recorder and bassoon, though school (King Edward VI Birmingham) provided little incentive to pursue a musical career. His first contact with the world of medieval instruments came on leaving school to spend a year teaching in South America. There he came across many of the instruments associated with medieval music in a context where they were still the staple diet of music, were still played with a total lack of inhibition, with a careeningly free sense of improvisation.</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Some of Munrow’s many wind-instruments date back to this South American trip. Others have been acquired elsewhere in the course of his travels – from tiny villages in Europe to hippie shops in California. Most of his collection consists of modern reconstructions based on pictures or other information. (The makers are largely German – like Otto Steinkopf, Rainer, Weber. etc. – but there are now some English ones springing up, like Jim Jones.) The freshness and spontaneity of Munrow’s playing, however, are undoubtedly to some extent a product of hearing such instruments within folk-cultures where the most ancient musical practices survive to this day. Medieval music has never for him been a dead art exhumed by scholars. It is alive and well and flourishing all over the world.<br />
<br />
<br />
Returned from South America, Munrow went to Cambridge, where he sang in Jesus College choir, and met Thurston Dart. Dart encouraged him to exploit to the full his potential as a specialist on early woodwind instruments. Munrow did so, primarily playing with his friends, those with whom it was sheer enjoyment to make music. This is an important aspect of Munrow’s approach, something on which his later achievements have depended considerably. His <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/early-music-consort-of-london-mn0001216719"><span style="color: #005689;">Early Music Consort</span></a>, formed in 1967, developed out of such friendly music-making with Christopher Hogwood (harpsichord), Oliver Brookes (viol), and James Bowman (counter-tenor), and is a remarkably integrated and polished ensemble. In no time, the Consort was reckoned a front-rank group.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Consort’s success does not depend entirely on brilliant performances. Its programmes are planned to run with perfect smoothness, with a precise awareness of what the audience needs to know or hear at any given moment. Introductions – either spoken or included in the programme – are invariably informative, witty, and often deliciously obscene as well. What people don’t generally realise is that the very idea of giving a concert of early music is unauthentic, a falsification of what originally happened. To present, therefore, a recital of four centuries’ dance music, as Munrow did a few weeks back, becomes a creative act in itself (as my colleague. Hugo Cole, so rightly pointed out). <br />
Munrow has enlarged the Consort considerably for his Renaissance Festival programme, and his ideas have come off equally well on the larger canvas. For many people, Munrow’s name will always be associated with performances of a set of dances by Tielman Susato (a 16th-century composer who flourished as player, publisher, and composer at Antwerp. and who had a shop with the sign “In de Kroomhoorn”) that have often ended his Festival programmes. He first mounted performances of these dances at Cambridge and at Birmingham University (where he spent a year researching after finishing at Cambridge): the concluding battle-piece has always won him an ovation not just for its extra decibels, but because each time he scores it differently, preserving its raw freshness and potency. It is good news that he has just recorded these dances for EMI. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For some time he was a member of the Stratford Wind Ensemble and his contributions to drama productions extended into radio, television, and films. David Cain wrote music for him to play for the BBC radio serial of Tolkien’s The Hobbit. More recently television viewers will have heard the music he provided for The Six Wives of Henry VIII series and in the sequel. Elizabeth R, as well as at the V and A Exhibition. He is becoming difficult to dodge, likely to crop up as the indispensable background to some display or exhibition or in collaboration with a folk group. <br />
<br />
Anyone who tries to pin down Munrow to any one category of work is doomed to failure. He is not just the crumhorn whizzkid. (Mind you, more ponderous medievalists underestimate his scholarship.) His skill as a deviser of recital programmes has stood him in good stead recently on the radio, when he introduced a series of Afternoon Sequences – two hours of records for Saturday afternoons on Radio 3. He is always on the move. His wife. Gillian, does all the planning of transport, food, and accommodation.<br />
She also plays percussion and bells in their lecture-recitals: and the whole operation makes great demands on her energy and patience. Without such support Munrow would probably not have become so prominent and colourful a figure on the concert scene by the age of 28. And it’s a good thing he’s a small chap. otherwise there’d be no room in the car for him along with all those coffin-like cases containing racketts, crumhorns, recorders. shawms, clans, rauschpfeifes, kortholts, gemshorn....<br />

What's the best way to inspire children to take an interest in music, and is there any value in doing so? If there is, what kind of music is best?<br />
Those kinds of questions have dogged parents and scientists for decades, each new study providing different answers. <a class="msc-istats-click" data-istats-labels="{"link_location":"music-articles-inline-link","page_section":"article-body"}" href="http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20130107-can-mozart-boost-brainpower" title="BBC Future - Does listening to Mozart really boost your brainpower?">Does listening to Mozart really boost your brainpower?</a> asked <a class="msc-istats-click" data-istats-labels="{"link_location":"music-articles-inline-link","page_section":"article-body"}" href="http://www.bbc.com/future" title="BBC - Future">BBC Future</a> in 2013 in response to a widely misunderstood <a class="msc-istats-click" data-istats-labels="{"link_location":"music-articles-inline-link","page_section":"article-body"}" href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v365/n6447/abs/365611a0.html" title="Nature - Music and spatial task performance">report from 1993</a>, which didn't actually declare that there was a "Mozart effect" - the idea that infants will become cleverer if they're exposed to classical music.

If you liked music when you were a kid, you already know that it benefitted you. The conundrum is how to interest children in music, and for that there a multitude of initiatives around for parents to investigate, including the BBC's <a class="msc-istats-click" data-istats-labels="{"link_location":"music-articles-inline-link","page_section":"article-body"}" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01vs08w" title="BBC - Ten Pieces">Ten Pieces</a>.</div>

Pied Piper was broadcast on Radio 3 between 1971 and 1976 - a staggering 655 episodes in total, all presented by Munrow - and as part of their 70th anniversary celebrations they're re-running five episodes this week during the interval of <a class="msc-istats-click" data-istats-labels="{"link_location":"music-articles-inline-link","page_section":"article-body"}" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03q8r97" title="BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 in Concert">Radio 3 in Concert</a> (they're <a class="msc-istats-click" data-istats-labels="{"link_location":"music-articles-inline-link","page_section":"article-body"}" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04hjkhq" title="BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 in Concert: Pied Piper">online</a> too). For the uninitiated, it offers to chance to hear a master broadcaster at work, covering subjects as broad as <a class="msc-istats-click" data-istats-labels="{"link_location":"music-articles-inline-link","page_section":"article-body"}" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/24f1766e-9635-4d58-a4d4-9413f9f98a4c" title="BBC Music - Johann Sebastian Bach">Bach</a>, English conductor and impresario <a class="msc-istats-click" data-istats-labels="{"link_location":"music-articles-inline-link","page_section":"article-body"}" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/0e6ccc63-41cb-4903-8b7d-60846aca6d58" title="BBC Music - Sir Thomas Beecham">Sir Thomas Beecham</a>, brass and military bands, string quartets and music inspired by the stars. You'll learn a lot, whatever your age, because although Pied Piper was angled towards children it had a trick up its sleeve - the series was so well put together, it appealed as much to adults and had an average listening age of 29.<br />
Munrow's love of music was life-long. He taught himself the bassoon in two weeks while still at school, before travelling to Peru, where he learned other instruments, and then studied at Cambridge in the 1960s. The breadth of his knowledge ensured he could present with devastating clarity, never cramming too much into an episode and always letting pieces of music play to a decent length, so they were enjoyable as well as illustrative. His touch was light-but-learned, fun and informative and he knew the power of stories to engage young minds. Here's how the episode (above) on Sir Thomas Beecham, grandson of the founder of the pharmaceutical company Beechams, begins: "Do you know which famous English conductor was born in St Helens, Lancashire, belonged to a family who made a fortune in pills, enjoyed cricket, chess and billiards, used to sing bass in a madrigal group and once practised the trombone in a rowing boat right out in the middle of a Swiss lake?"<br />
In the first of the five episodes to be broadcast (below), Munrow picks out a phrase in Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, composed in the early 18th century, which he tells listeners sounds like someone saying, "Jolly good! Jolly good! Jolly good! Jolly good!" Then, to prove that "most people today would agree that Bach is one of the greatest composers there's ever been - even today's pop musicians listen to and study Bach because they find it full of excitement; they find it an inspiration", he plays the section of prog rock band <a class="msc-istats-click" data-istats-labels="{"link_location":"music-articles-inline-link","page_section":"article-body"}" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/db301158-fdfd-49f6-be50-4909dbbc1e53" title="BBC Music - The Nice">The Nice</a>'s Ars Longa Vita Brevis from 1968 that includes a version of "Bach's jolly good tune".</div>

Pied Piper came to an end in 1976 because Munrow took his own life, aged just 33.

Writing about Munrow in BBC Music magazine, Service says: "Munrow's scarcely credible output of 655 - six hundred and fifty-five! - editions in around five years is one of the most preternaturally brilliant and prolific of any broadcaster in recorded history."<br />
And yet there are huge swathes of music fans who best remember Munrow not for his broadcasting career, but as a musician and recording artist. It seems almost impossible to believe, but in his 33 years he also released over 50 albums that it's not an exaggeration to say they changed our understanding of music history by spectacularly throwing a light on, most notably, the medieval and renaissance periods.<br />
Munrow's interest in what is loosely termed 'early music' began at Cambridge when he discovered a crumhorn (an early wind instrument) hanging on the wall in a friend's room. He learned to play it and later, according to his collaborator <a class="msc-istats-click" data-istats-labels="{"link_location":"music-articles-inline-link","page_section":"article-body"}" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/00db6f13-4ec4-4ff9-ab10-07340b511e97" title="BBC Music - Christopher Hogwood">Christopher Hogwood</a>, mastered some 42 other instruments from different times in history and different places in the world.

The final episode of Pied Piper to be broadcast this week (above) examines music inspired by the solar system and includes Munrow discussing astronomy with Sir Patrick Moore. We can guess that Munrow would have been thrilled to know that a piece of music performed by the Early Music Consort - The Faerie Round from <a class="msc-istats-click" data-istats-labels="{"link_location":"music-articles-inline-link","page_section":"article-body"}" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/33603b16-aec8-4507-b41f-a575343e4f18" title="BBC Music - Anthony Holborne">Anthony Holborne</a>'s Pavans, Galliards, Almains and Other Short Aeirs - was included on the <a class="msc-istats-click" data-istats-labels="{"link_location":"music-articles-inline-link","page_section":"article-body"}" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_Golden_Record" title="Wikipedia - Voyager Golden Record">Voyager Golden Records</a>, which were sent into space in 1977. That's quite some achievement, and just one example of Munrow's extraordinary legacy.<br />
Have we become genre-blind in the way we listen to music now? Radio 3 controller Alan Davey thinks so, <a class="msc-istats-click" data-istats-labels="{"link_location":"music-articles-inline-link","page_section":"article-body"}" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-32188580" title="BBC News - Radio 3 boss to recreate Pied Piper series">telling the Sunday Times in 2015</a>: "Young people are growing up with an open mind about various kinds of quite complex music." Munrow foresaw that, instilling a sense of sonic adventure in the minds of people who heard the Pied Piper series in the 70s and now have considerable influence on the way music is presented, curated and broadcast to us now. "Today," Tom Service writes in BBC Music magazine, "Munrow would have taken advantage of the technological possibilities of our musical world in ways that we can only imagine." He was a futurist as well as an archivist, who left the universe of music vastly expanded in all directions for the benefit of those who came next.</div>

Thanks from schoolchildren to David and Gill Munrow after an early music workshop.</div>
</div>
The BBC over the last few years has tried to get children to become more involved in classical music. November 2014 saw the introduction of Ten Pieces, an initiative aimed initially at children of <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02c4vwr" target="_blank">primary school age</a>. There was a “Ten Pieces” prom in August 2015. With the success of the primary school programme the initiative was expanded in 2015 to include children of <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p034rxy4" target="_blank">secondary school age</a>; and culminated in another Prom (Ten Pieces II) in <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/efgv2m#p042182k" target="_blank">July 2016</a>.<br />
Among the more unexpected items that we have in the Music Department of the University Library are children’s responses to classical music. Specifically their response to <a href="http://www.blisstrust.org/#" target="_blank">Sir Arthur Bliss</a>‘s <a href="http://www.musicweb-international.com/Programme_Notes/bliss_colour.htm" target="_blank">Colour Symphony</a>, and to medieval music as performed by <a href="https://musicb3.wordpress.com/2016/05/06/to-celebrate-to-commemorate-david-munrow/" target="_blank">David and Gill Munrow</a>.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<span id="more-9972"></span><br />
During the 1960s, the musician, David Munrow, and his wife, Gill, ran workshops in schools introducing children to the then largely unknown world of medieval music, and the instruments of the period. One primary school in Birmingham sent a large envelope of letters to the Munrows in November 1968 to say thank you for the workshop, and to record the children’s responses to it. Though some of the responses were not unexpected, some were rather more unusual….<br />
<em>I would like to thank you for coming and for the recorders that you showed us in the hall on the Wednesday. I liked the base </em>[sic] <em>recorder best of all I should like to play the recorder myself</em><br />
<em>…The biggest recorder when you played it you went all red because you had run out of breath</em><br />
<em>…I liked the recorder that squeaked</em><br />
<em>….I did not like the big instruments but I liked the axe </em>[I have no idea what instrument this pupil was referring to. Can anyone out there guess?] <em>it was a good instrument</em><br />
<em>We all hope you will come again next year and bring us some nice instruments with you. And if you have got a real trumpet that we use nowadays </em>[evidently not a fan of period performance!] <em>and some flags from all other countries</em><br />
The shawm and the china bells were universally praised, and there was even a critic in the audience (aged about 8) – <em>….if you do come again I hope it is as good or even better than last time.</em><br />
<em><br /></em><br />

Fast forward 20 years, and primary school children in Lincoln were responding to Sir Arthur Bliss’s <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/classical-music/simon-heffer-why-a-colour-symphony-is-pure-bliss/" target="_blank"><em>Colour Symphony</em></a>. Aided by an album cover that Lady Bliss had thoughtfully supplied, which included helpful sleeve notes by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Palmer" target="_blank">Christopher Palmer</a>, the children listened to excerpts from the symphony using the then new <a href="http://www.chandos.net/products/catalogue/CHAN%2010221" target="_blank">Chandos recording</a> conducted by <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2008/sep/12/classicalmusicandopera" target="_blank">Vernon Handley</a>, and then responded to the work.<br />
Some of the responses were clearly heavily reliant on Christopher Palmer’s own response, but predictably (for children) there were some unusual responses too….<br />
<em>Red…was like somebody having a sword fight. Or there was a fire in a hut and somebody [was] trying to get out</em><br />
<em>I didn’t like purple because it was slow</em><br />
<em><img alt="Bliss2" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-9978" height="300" sizes="(max-width: 246px) 100vw, 246px" src="https://musicb3.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/bliss2.png?w=246&h=300" srcset="https://musicb3.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/bliss2.png?w=246&h=300 246w, https://musicb3.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/bliss2.png?w=123&h=150 123w, https://musicb3.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/bliss2.png 401w" width="246" />I think blue was dancing music. I nearly did a dance. Mrs. Instrall </em>[their student teacher] <em>wanted to dance too</em><br />
<em>Green is like monsters killing lots of people and eating them</em><br />
<em>Purple is slow and soft. It sounds like a ballet dancer</em><br />
<em>I like the green music. It sounds like you’re in a sledge riding down a hill very fast. And in a rush the sledge was very fast very good too this sledge was so big it could fit 8 people in it</em><br />
<em><a href="https://musicb3.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/bliss1-001.jpg"><img alt="Bliss1 001" class="alignleft wp-image-9979 size-medium" height="300" sizes="(max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px" src="https://musicb3.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/bliss1-001.jpg?w=223&h=300" srcset="https://musicb3.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/bliss1-001.jpg?w=223&h=300 223w, https://musicb3.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/bliss1-001.jpg?w=446&h=600 446w, https://musicb3.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/bliss1-001.jpg?w=112&h=150 112w" width="223" /></a>Green was like some men on horses they was chasing and they saw a man was falling down a cliff and there was a monster in the water the monster it had one eye and two noses</em><br />

<span style="color: black;">The recondite <a href="https://musicb3.wordpress.com/"><span style="color: #3778cd;">MusiCB3 blog</span></a> about the music collections at Cambridge University has a <a href="https://musicb3.wordpress.com/2016/08/19/in-a-childs-mind/#more-9972"><span style="color: #3778cd;">contribution from Margaret Jones</span></a> about the the University Library's resources documenting children’s responses to classical music. Unsurprisingly David Munrow features prominently in Margaret's article which includes the photo above of the Pied Piper with his wife Gill and their instrument collection*. Just before reading the article I had listened to the newly released CD <a href="http://www.forcedexposure.com/Catalog/oregon-live-in-new-orleans-cd/HH.3028CD.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">Oregon Live in New Orleans</span></a>, which is a transcription of an NPR broadcast of a gig Oregon played in February 1978. Readers will know of my <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2007/05/david-munrow-more-than-early-music.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">admiration for the work of both David Munrow</span></a>, and of the <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2011/07/symphonic-musicians-against.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">innovative ensemble Oregon</span></a> and <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2009/02/every-recession-has-silver-lining.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">their predecessor Codona</span></a>. David Munrow died in 1976 and two years later Oregon's visionary multi-percussionist and sitarist <a href="http://www.collinwalcott.com/biography.php"><span style="color: #3778cd;">Collin Walcott </span></a> - seen below - was killed in a car crash while the band was on tour in East Germany. Today David Munrow is remembered as a an early music specialist, and Collin Walcott is remembered as a world music/jazz fusion pioneer. But forcing their huge talents into neat little genre boxes <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2015/12/early-musician-who-could-have-become.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">belittles their genius</span></a>, because both led large audiences on to new musical discoveries. Margaret Jones' thoughtful essay on the importance of exposing young people to great music is titled 'In a child's mind'. The young and <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2013/12/classical-musics-new-younger-audience.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">not so young</span></a> are waiting <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2015/02/audiences-need-permission-to-like.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">to be led</span></a>. But where are today's Pied Pipers? When will classical music's <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2012/03/your-chance-to-learn-from-music.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">multitudinous experts</span></a> learn that <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2007/11/art-of-animateur.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">apps cannot replace animateurs</span></a>?</span><br />

<span style="color: black;">Hopefully at least a little of the content from eleven years of <i>On An Overgrown Path</i> transcends the <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2015/12/my-young-pianist-of-year.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">virtual noise</span></a> that is the <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2015/09/churnalism-is-destroying-classical-music.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">staple fare of online music journalism today</span></a>. For me the most rewarding projects have been the <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2011/08/philippa-schuyler-genius-or-genetic.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">Philippa Schuyler</span></a> and <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2011/05/who-are-real-master-musicians.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">Master Musician of Jajouka</span></a> doubleheaders, the <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2007/04/berlin-philharmonics-first-black.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">profile of Guyanese conductor Rudolph Dunbar</span></a>, the <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2015/10/contemporary-greek-music-loses-its.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">exploration of contemporary modal music</span></a>, and interviews with <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2014/05/jonathan-harvey-on-record.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">Jonathan Harvey</span></a>, <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2015/01/jordi-savall-on-record.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">Jordi Savall</span></a>, <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2015/11/classical-musicians-brave-journey-from.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">Ali Keeler</span></a>, and with David Munrow's recording producer Christopher Bishop. Although the latter interview has been <a href="https://soundcloud.com/overgrownpath/david-munrow-on-the-record-on"><span style="color: #3778cd;">available as a sound file</span></a> it has not to date been transcribed as text. So while tidying up loose ends I have transcribed the interview below. (The photo at the foot of the article was taken during the radio interview and shows me with Christopher Bishop). <br /><br /> Although David Munrow is best known as an early music authority the interview ranges widely. Christopher Bishop <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2005/06/reflections-on-philadelphia-orchestra.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">mentored both Riccardo Muti</span></a> and Andre Previn early in their careers, and his view that had David Munrow not died tragically young, he could have become a great conductor is intriguing. Also interesting is the discussion about Munrow's use of improvisation and jazzy rhythms. This chimes with the view expressed by Western classically trained Sufi musician Ali Keeler in my recent interview that <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2015/12/if-you-lay-down-solid-groove-they-will.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">improvisation could play an important role</span></a> in broadening the appeal of Western classical music. Auspicious convergence of cultural paths has always been a feature here, and that convergence is evidenced in the music of the troubadors <a href="http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=69422"><span style="color: #3778cd;">championed by David Munrow</span></a>. The troubadors' music, which helped shape the Western classical tradition, was probably <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2014/08/could-listening-hard-solve-classical.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">influenced by itinerant Sufi musicians from Andalusia</span></a>, which is where Ali Keeler is based. Another meme <i>On An Overgrown Path</i> has been <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2013/08/why-composer-anniversaries-do-not-win.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">disdain for musical anniversaries</span></a>. But I hope that making this interview available will be a worthwhile contribution to the anniversary next year of David Munrow's untimely death in May 1976. Ironically, next year is also the anniversary of the death of <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2012/01/classical-music-needs-more-noah.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">American early music pioneer Noah Greenberg</span></a>, who died too young in January 1966.</span> <br />

<br />
<span style="color: black;"><i>Bob Shingleton</i>: In the early 1970s the scores for the BBC TV series The Six Wives of Henry VIII and Elisabeth R brought David Munrow’s music to millions. His Pied Piper radio programme was broadcast four times a week for five years, he presented a successful TV series, and wrote music for several major feature films including Ken Russell's <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066993/"><span style="color: #3778cd;">The Devils</span></a> - together with Peter Maxwell Davies - and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070170/"><span style="color: #3778cd;">Henry VIII & his Six Wives</span></a> directed by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0404014/"><span style="color: #3778cd;">Waris Hussein</span></a>. David Munrow's interest in early music started when he taught in Peru before going up to Cambridge. He combined reading English at Pembroke College with independent studies of Renaissance and medieval music, and went on to form his famous Early Music Consort of London. Under his leadership the Early Music Consort became best-selling recording artists, and David Munrow’s records were considered so important that copies of them were <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2006/01/david-munrow-and-voyager-golden-record.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">sent to Saturn on board two NASA spacecraft</span></a> in 1976.<br /><br /> Today David Munrow is remembered by the records he made for EMI that started in 1971 with the LP Two Renaissance Dance Bands. He was brought to EMI by their double Grammy winning recording producer Christopher Bishop who produced Munrow's first records for the famous dog and trumpet label. Christopher who also worked with Carlo Maria Giulini, Charles Mackerras, André Previn, Yehudi Menuhin, Riccardo Muti, Sir Adrian Boult and many other great musicians, and I am delighted to welcome him to the <i>Overgrown Path</i> today. Welcome Christopher, and can you start by telling us how you first met David Munrow? <br /><br /><i> CB</i>: It was rather strange, it wasn't as obvious or direct as you might think. I used to conduct a madrigal group. We'd done lots of different broadcasts of straightforward madrigals, and the producer Basil Lam said to me it would be very interesting to try doing some madrigals with instruments, and I thought oh... He suggested viols and other stringed instruments, and also recorders. And I thought "oh no" - I used to be a school master, and the word recorder has a horrifying significance for me. So I asked "must we?", and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Lam"><span style="color: #3778cd;">Basil Lam</span></a> said there is this young man called David Munrow who is an incredibly good player - come and hear him. So I went along to a concert he was doing, and, of course, it was fantastic; so I said that would be great. So the first time I met David Munrow was at the BBC recording sessions. We did some madrigals with viols, and some without any instruments, and we got on very welll indeed. He mucked about all the time; - he was great fun - and he also mucked about musically. One of the madrigals we did was 'Hark All Ye Lovely Saints' by Weelkes, where the choir sings the verse and fah lahs at the end - which are really instrumental in a way - were played by David and his group. We let him do that, and in the second verse he really goes to town and decorates it in a way that I am quite sure no singer would ever have done. <br /><br /> That BBC session was a very important occasion both for me and in a way for David, because he asked for a lift afterwards to the station. We were chatting about his programme and I said how much I enjoyed his playing. I think I took him about a mile and a half, and in that very short distance he managed to convince me that it would be a very good idea if EMI, where I was then a producer, made a record of his group, and I agreed. He had another record he had already made - I can't remember if it was released commercially - and I took that record around the company and persuaded people that it would be a good idea to use him. A year later we did actually make the first record; he was tremendous fun to work with, and, surprisingly, the record became extremely popular.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: black;"><i>BS</i>: At that time there wasn't a great market for early music; in fact there was hardly a market at all. What convinced you to record what at that time must have been a very minority market?<br /><br /><i> CB</i>: I think it was just that it was so very jolly and clever, and full of life. You know, it just had it; in a way I suppose we looked at in a way that pop producers do. They don't ask 'is there a market for this?'; they say 'that's good, so we'll do it', and then the market is made. I don't suppose anyone thought there was a market for the Beatles when they first started; they just thought this is a great band and it took off. In a way David was like that: he was his own advertiser he did these broadcasts called Pied Piper that you mentioned, and he also went round performing all the time. He was never not working, and that sort of energy committed itself.<br /><br /><i> BS</i>: That level of risk taking is something that is really disappearing now from the classical music scene. There is virtually no backing of hunched and those golden days of risk taking have gone presumably.<br /><br /><i> CB</i>: Yes, that was the late 1960s and early 70s when we did that. It was a very different world indeed, and people don't dare do anything like that now, particularly in the large companies. I think all the adventurousness now tends to be in the smaller companies, but EMI in those days was a very adventurous company indeed. It made the first recording of the Elgar oratorios and that sort of thing, which, of course, have also been recorded by other companies since then. It was a very, very great company.<br /><br /><i> BS</i>: Did you have a job of selling the concept of David Munrow to the powers that be at EMI? It was EMI UK that recorded him for presumably?<br /><br /><i> CB</i>: Yes, it was the British company, a man called <a href="http://sounds.bl.uk/Oral-history/Oral-history-of-recorded-sound/021M-C0090X0068XX-0500V0"><span style="color: #3778cd;">John Whittle</span></a> who was a tremendous enthusiast. It was quite easy to make John enthuse; if you enthused to him he would pick it up, as would another chap called <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2013/08/this-tchaikovsky-is-cats-whiskers.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">Douglas Pudney</span></a> who worked very hard in the same way. I just played the record to him and he said "wow!" The record I played had on it the first piece we did for the 'Two Renaissance Dance Bands' album. It was called <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRYPZYUkyt0"><span style="color: #3778cd;">La Mourisque</span></a></i>; it's a very noisy piece and I always think of David red faced and puffing away when I hear it <br /><br /><i> BS</i>: Christopher, in the studio you had been dealing with the conventional symphony orchestra and conventional chamber music and suddenly you were confronted with these extraordinary instruments that David Munrow suddenly introduced. Wasn't this all a bit of a culture shock?<br /><br /><i> CB</i>: It was indeed; it was such a culture shock that at one stage in the game I said wouldn't it be a good idea if you did a record (in due course it turned out to be two) with samples of all these peculiar instruments - things like <a href="http://www.earlymusic.co/davidmunrow/index.php?topic=71.0"><span style="color: #3778cd;">nakers</span></a> for example which are a percussion instrument, and various kinds of string instruments, and regals and crumhorns. I knew what a crumhorn was, but before working with David I had never seen one actually being played. One got quite used to all these things, and I used to say I can't quite hear the second crumhorn, can you just play it a little louder or move the mic and that sort of thing. It became a completely different world and eventually David did do a wonderful box set called Instruments of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, which is a very po-faced title. I wanted to call it 'A Young Person's Guide to Old Instruments' but they thought that a little too populist. Nowadays I am sure they would have used that title; but remember, this was a long time ago when we were much more po-faced really. It was terrfific fun working with David, you can tell from the enthusiasm you can hear on his recordings.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: black;"><i>BS</i>: What was David Munrow like in the studio? Did you have to restrain him? - I always get the impression of someone running away with all these weird and wild instruments and wanting to do extraordinary things. Did you give him his head in the recording studio, and what was the chemistry like?<br /><br /><i> CB</i>: No, he wasn't like that at all in the studio. He was full of enthusiasm and so on, but he was so professional - he could never have done all he did if he hadn't been absolutely disciplined. He used to do ridiculous things like staying up all night writing out parts, and he wouldn't really trust anyone else to do his work for him. He did all the copying; think of nowadays what you can do so easily with <a href="http://www.sibelius.com/home/index_flash.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">Sibelius</span></a> (the music writing software), he used to do all that by hand, there were no mechanical aids at all. Nothing was printed; it was all written out by him and it really was an amazing experience working with him because he was so full of energy. It was terrifying, he used to put the music stands out, he'd appear early and put out all the music and the music stands, and he'd suddenly think he had got them in the wrong place and rush out and move them all again. Then we might ask him if he wouldn't mind moving a seat because, you know, we wanted to get nearer to a certain instrument which might be quiet, and he'd have to go out and reorganise it himself. <br /><br /><i> BS</i>: Listening to your recordings of the Early Music Consort I am struck by the freshness and spontaneity of it all. They sound almost improvised in fact. Did David Munrow come into the studio with a clear plan for the record? Did you know what he was going to record?<br /><br /><i> CB</i>: Oh, absolutely. Everything was completely organised - totally. But what you say about improvisation is actually true, because in some pieces he used to decorate. He and <a href="http://www.divine-art.co.uk/AS/johnturner.htm"><span style="color: #3778cd;">John Turner</span></a> (the second recorder player), they used to fiddle around and decorate in the most delightful way. Whether they rehearsed the basic idea, or whether it was second nature to them I just don't know really, but it was extremely free. Some of the improvisation was very jazzy, I can't really believe some of the improvised rhythms were used in the 16th century. His music was improvised, because if you did two takes the second would be different to the first. Now that posed slight problems for us sometimes if we tried to edit between them, and it wasn't always easy. But as all the pieces were very short, if it went wrong he did it again. <br /><br /><i> BS</i>: So there was very little editing. We hear so many stories today about very short takes and it all been spliced together - was there very much editing required after those David Munrow sessions? <br /><br /><i> CB</i>: No there wasn't - very little indeed. Because we really didn't need to: because they were so good and you could redo the whole piece if it only lasted two or three minutes. It's not like a symphony where you have to slice in a chunk. <br /><br /><i> BS</i>: There is this stereotype of David Munrow as being an early music specialist. But in fact this is not true at all. He was involved in modern music and he was involved in film scores. He was a much broader musician than this early music category wasn't he?<br /><br /><i> CB</i>: He started with early music and moved on from there. In the same way I suppose that Neville Marriner started with 18th century music and moved on from there, and Raymond Leppard the same. But the fact that he was able to change his interest and his concept was fascinating.<br /><br /><i> BS</i>: How important were the film scores? <br /><br /><i> CB</i>: Well, the only one that I had anything to do with was Henry VIII. That consisted almost entirely of old music except for one piece, which is the music for the joust where Henry VIII is sitting there looking jealous; there is sort of tortured music, he is sitting there looking at Anne Boleyn flirting with young courtiers. Then, eventually, that music is used on his deathbed. It is very effective; he says that it is aleatoric, which means it has been done by the throw of the dice. But I don't believe that is true at all: I don't believe he made it up, I believe he wrote it - but it is extremely effective.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: black;"><i>BS</i>: That is very interesting. I hadn't heard he claimed it was aleatoric music; obviously there are connections there with John Cage and other contemporary composers like Alvin Curran, whose Inner Cities piano cycle <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2007/11/new-music-premiere-for-internet-radio.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">I broadcast on Future Radio recently</span></a>. It's amazing how all these threads come together; we are not talking here just about early and medieval music, it's much broader than that.<br /><br /><i> CB</i>: Well I think it would have been. I think it had only just started, I'm not sure how much he would have known about John Cage in those days to be quite fair. But I think he had begun to develop into a different kind of musician from just the recorder player. Because he was so intelligent and had such a lot of energy, and the Pied Piper programmes were amazingly broad - he was quite happy to talk about Mahler and Wagner and so on - he was by no means narrow. Was he frantic to deal with? <br /><br /><i> BS</i>: Tell us about more about working with him in the recording studio. We get the impression of someone who was incredibly driven: you say he was working all night, he was working across radio and television and cinema, he was recording LPs, and, of course, performing in the concert hall. That was very unusual in the 1970s, he was a true multi-media artist.<br /><br /><i> CB</i>: Well he was pretty terrifying to deal with, because he got himself into a pretty high-pressured state - I think his blood pressure must have been horrendous. But his face - partly because he played a wind instrument and of course he was puffing all the time - his face was usually a sort of red colour. He was very, very driven, that is a very good word for him. He was totally driven; he spent all his time working at music. I don't know what he did to relax; one never saw him relax; but then I only saw him in the studio and doing concerts <br /><br /><i> BS</i>: Some of the music David Munrow composed is quite extraordinary. If you played a piece like his music for the jousting scene from Henry VIII that we talked about earlier to someone without telling them who the composer was, I suspect they would never suggest it was by him.<br /><br /><i> CB</i>: Well you are used to David Munrow the performer, and, of course, he wouldn't have performed that sort of music in his early music concerts. I produced the music for the film and I think the music was composed - by chance or otherwise - for the film and not the BBC programme, although I can't quite recall. I can remember the film appearing on the screen in the recording studio as it does, and you see little bits the wrong way round and think who on earth is that? - it is someone who has come in at the beginning and you hardly see again. It all had to be done in that highly complicated way, but he was completely on the ball about it and knew exactly what he was doing.<br /><br /><i> BS</i>: We are starting to move away from David Munrow as an early music performer. One of the interesting things is that he worked with such a wide range of musicians. He worked for instance with Sir Adrian Boult - David Munrow and Sir Adrian Boult is not a combination you would expect. How did that come about?<br /><br /><i> CB</i>: Well it came about through me I suppose. Because Adrian Boult was one of my artists and I thought what a wonderful thing it would be for him and John Turner to do the Brandenburg Concerto recorder parts - because they are really recorder parts and not flute - and I suggested it to Sir Adrian. I think I must have played a record to him and he said 'this is fantastic'. When David and John Turner came into the studio Sir Adrian was wonderful with them; he treated them perfectly normally, as if they were great artists, which of course they were. There was no patronisation at all, and John Turner said he was always terribly amused by the fact that Boult always said to him [imitates Sir Adrian] "Well, we will try that again and I am sure it will be even better", and the <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2012/08/back-to-bach-of-1900.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">result is a wonderful performance</span></a>. <br /><br /><i> BS</i>: The classical music scene today is divided very sharply between period and modern instrument performances. It must seem surprising to the younger generation that David Munrow, who in some ways was a pioneer of period instruments, performed Bach with a modern symphony orchestra. Were there any obstacles to that?<br /><br /><i> CB</i>: No, it is strange now, but I think the thing was Boult was doing a set of Brandenburg Concertos, and therefore we had to have a recorder or flautist for numbers 2 and 4. I think that Boult was amazingly adventurous to accept the idea of doing it. But he immediately said 'that's a wonderful idea'. I think these days it would have been recorded by a tiny 'Bachy' type orchestra with Harnoncourt or someone. In those days <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2011/07/specialisation-is-damaging-classical.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">symphony orchestras did still play Bach</span></a>, and jolly well too.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: black;"><i>BS</i>: Tragically David Munrow took his own life in May 1976. Presumably this came as a terrible shock to his fiends and colleagues. <br /><br /><i> CB</i>: It did; but in a way, when you think about it afterwards, he drove himself so terribly that any emotional problem would have had a much greater impact on him than for someone who was on a more even keel. We were all absolutely devastated by it, particularly the peformers he worked with who saw him as a life force, and if a life force dies or kills himself it is simply terrible - it couldn't be worse. I know that it knocked some of them - the countertenor <a href="http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/a.asp?a=A75"><span style="color: #3778cd;">James Bowman</span></a> for instance - absolutely for six. He couldn't sing for quite a long time afterwards; he was absolutely devastated by it, and i am not surprised.<br /><br /><i> BS</i>: And the news of his death came totally out of the blue.<br /><br /><i> CB</i>: Completely, one day I had a phone call from <a href="http://www.percius.co.uk/news/john-willan-awarded-royal-academy-of-music-fellowship"><span style="color: #3778cd;">John Willan</span></a> who had taken over producing his recordings towards the end of his time, and John said: "You will never guess what has happened, the little blighter has killed himself" and I knew exactly who he meant. I said "you mean David" and he said "yes". It was really absolutely frightful.<br /><br /> BS: He was just thirty-three when he died. If that tragedy hadn't happened what do you think he would have gone on to do?<br /><br /><i> CB</i>: Now that is a very interesting question. I think he would have become a very, very distinguished educator,and also conducting full-size orchestras. It is almost impossible to imagine, but his agent and I agreed always, if about nothing else, about the fact that he had definitely got the potential to be something more even than someone like André Previn. Previn was <a href="http://www.overgrownpath.com/2007/11/art-of-animateur.html"><span style="color: #3778cd;">a great populariser</span></a> and I think Munrow would have gone slightly deeper than that. I am not sure what repertoire he would have done, certainly opera and things like that, he would have loved anything that could have broadened his musical outlook. <br /><br /><i> BS</i>: We can only speculate, but as a conductor, do you think he would have had a career across all categories and across all ages of repertoire. Would he have moved out of the early music and baroque category?<br /><br /><i> CB</i>: Yes, I think he probably would. You think of Daniel Barenboim, but his career followed a fairly straightforward path: he started off as a pianist - a great Beethoven and Mozart pianist - and he then went on to conduct - a not unusual course. But Munrow's world was absolutely different; I don't think I have ever come across anyone like that. Neville Marriner is a sort of parallel, someone who in early music, although obviously he was an orchestral player who played everything when he was at the London Symphony Orchestra; Neville's conducting career began with early music and gradually went into the modern era. I think David Munrow would have become a very great conductor and also a great populariser.<br /><br /><i> BS</i>: Christopher, we've heard how David Munrow was an extraordinary talent and extraordinary person to work with. How would you like to remember this extraordinary talent? What would be your abiding memory and the piece of music to remember him by?<br /><br /><i> CB</i>: Well my abiding memory really is, of course, of him in the studio. I can remember him so well coming rushing in to listen to takes, and on one occasion something wasn't very good. I said to him "David that's not really up to standard", and he said [angry voice]: "What do you mean, what do you mean not up to standard. What standard is it not up to, EMI's?" And I said: "No, it isn't actually. It's not up to <i>your</i> standard either". He said "Oh balls!" and went back into the studio and immediately played the whole thing perfectly.To rile him and to get him angry was a pretty sure way of getting him to perform perfectly. He was so proud; he was a very, very proud person oddly enough of his ability and of his standards. The music which makes me remember him most was <i>La Mourisque</i> from 'Two Renaissance Dance bands". I can see his red face puffing away at the crumhorn or recorder - I can't remember which - and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRYPZYUkyt0"><span style="color: #3778cd;">that music captures him perfectly</span></a>.</span> <br />
