Unfinished business

Article Abstract:

There has been considerable controversy surrounding the announcement that composer and music critic Anthony Payne plans to complete Sir Edward Elgar's Third Symphony. Some observers feel that this project goes against Elgar's dying wish, which was that nobody should make any changes to this unfinished music. Others feel that Payne is justified in going ahead, especially as full facsimiles of more than one third of Elgar's surviving sketches were published less than three years after his death in any case. Payne is regarded as well qualified for the task.

Low life and high art

Article Abstract:

Johm Gay wrote the Beggar's Opera originally to be sung unaccompanied but only a few days before its premiere in 1728, after a terrible dress rehearsal, Christoph Pepusch was called in to orchestrate it. It became the success of the year. Apart from the overture, Pepusch's music is now lost. It was re-scored in 1928 by Kurt Weill to produce The Threepenny Opera and now the composer Ilona Sekacz has produced a brand new musical version. It is a play about every aspect of morality, namely sexual, social, political and personal.
