Composer of the Week

Ethel Smyth (1858 - 1944)

2: Two Traditions

Whilst studying in Leipzig, Ethel Smyth was able to move in the most influential musical circles through her friendship with the von Herzogenberg family and also the conductor George Henschel. These connections enabled Smyth to show her work to Brahms, and to become friends with Tchaikovsky, Grieg and Clara Schumann. She studied composition with Heinrich von Herzogenberg, who founded the Bach-Verein in 1874 and became its leader a year later.

On her return to England Smyth was again assisted by her social connections. It was largely due to the efforts of her patroness Princess Eugenie, which included organising a private performance by Smyth herself singing and playing the piano for Queen Victoria at Balmoral, that the Mass in D was ever performed.

Odaline de la Martinez joins Donald Macleod to discuss the German trends evident in Ethel Smyth's music and the gradual evolution of her own style.

The eminent political philosopher Michael Walzer is best known for his classic Just and Unjust Wars, published 30 years ago.
