Canons

1973 · rif. 4291 — London: Kronos Press 1973. 220 x 143 mm. Very Good. Philip Cannon Te Deum for choir organ and brass 1973 Kronos Press; small folio with personal letter laid in to Colin Davis discussing Cannon's works including Son of Man. This score is from a large collection of scores that belonged to the conductor Sir Colin Davis many annotated and used in performance almost all from the post-war period and including at least two examples of scores from which Davis conducted the work's premier: Thea Musgrave's Clarinet Concerto Davis was himself originally a clarinettist by training and Malcolm Williamson's The Stone Wall which Davis premiered at the Last Night of the Proms in September 1971. Most of the scores are full size performance versions several very large indeed in order to accommodate the scoring of a post-Schoenberg orchestra. Davis achieved global recognition for his conducting with a particular enthusiasm for the music of Mozart Berlioz Elgar Sibelius Stravinsky and Tippett. Very Good 1973 Kronos Press unknown
