Chance for Composers
HE London Philharmonic Orchestra this year announced the formation of a Music Advisory Panel of five members. Its objects are to examine manuscripts submitted to the Orchestra and choose from them works of outstanding merit for inclusion in orchestral programmes. So, for half-a-guinea, an unknown composer may have his work read. The panel members are William Aldwyn, composer and conductor; Eric Cundell, principal of the Guildhall School of Music; Lennox Berkeley, composer; Ben Frankel, composer and arranger; and Mosco Carner, a Vienna-born pianist, and conductor and author of Twentieth Century Harmony. Carner said that he thought the panel a fine idea. Young composers would be stimulated to write more. There was a parallel in another field of music. English opera languished until Sadler’s Wells appeared. Now young composers had at lgact somewhere to send their operas for‘ inspection.
