Behold, thou shalt conceive and bring forth a son, and shall call his name Jesus

And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end

Theodore Holland (1878-1947), who was a professor at the Royal Academy of Music and chairman of the Royal Philharmonic Society, was one of those musicians who, by their integrity as artists and their selfless devotion to the cause of music, exercise considerable influence though their names may rarely I hit the headlines.' His Threnody, written in 1945, was first performed three years later (after the death of the composer) at a concert at Watford. Two main themes - one spirited and heroic, the other filled with foreboding and sadness - form the basis of the work. Another work by Theodore Holland, Spring Sinfonietta, will be played on Thursday afternoon.
It was at a Promenade Concert in 1919, when her symphonic poem 'Lamia' was brought forward, that Dorothy Howell's name first became known to the general public. At that time she had only just completed her studies at the Royal Academy of Music (where she herself now teaches), but 'Lamia' was such an emphatic success that it was repeated five times during that season. Her Three Divertissements were first performed in September 1950 at the Elgar Festival at Malvern, where Dorothy Howell now lives.
