Foreword

The composer Trevor Hold was born at Northampton on 21 September 1939. He read music at Nottingham University and afterwards was Head of Music at Market Harborough Grammar School, before becoming assistant lecturer in music at Aberystwyth (1963-5). Lecturer in Music at Liverpool University from 1965 to 1970, he returned to the East Midlands in 1970 as Lecturer and Staff Tutor in Music in the Department of Adult Education at the University of Leicester, later becoming Senior Lecturer. With his family he lived at Wadenhoe for more than 30 years. He became widely-known in the world of East Midlands’ music, composing for local schools and choirs, conducting, accompanying and running adult education classes. Like Britten, one of Hold’s beliefs was that the composer should be writing for the community in which he lived, and he received many local commissions. This is music that was widely enjoyed in his lifetime and is relished by both performers and audiences alike.

Hold identified closely with the county of his youth. ‘I was born at Northampton, the town where the poet John Clare spent the last 23 years of his life’ he said. ‘Clare was my local poet, writing about a landscape I knew, in a dialect I myself used. When he walked down hollow and up hill to the village of Kingsthorpe, he took the same road that I took every day to and from primary school. The asylum where he lived was next door to the grammar school that I attended.’

Hold enjoyed a succession of BBC performances of his latest works, notably his song cycles, given with leading artists more or less as they appeared. In fact because his name has tended to be associated with his many song cycles we may not realise the extent of his output, now documented for us in the present catalogue. Individual songs from these can certainly be sung separately, and I would like to nominate my favourite for a Hold encore, the jazzy ‘Lout’ from Gathered From the Field. There are many others. His song cycle The Image Stays, written to his own words during the summer of 1974, deals with various aspects of love, some directly some more obliquely, rounded by ‘His Portrait’ and ‘Her Portrait’. ‘Solo vocal music is my natural métier’ he concluded, confessing in a programme note ‘I am a hopelessly compulsive songwriter – perhaps I should say ‘song cycle-writer’, for I have written very few separate solo songs…to me, the song cycle is as important a medium as the instrumental sonata’.

Hold’s output included rewarding piano music, chamber music, orchestral, choral music and dramatic music. He also wrote much worthwhile music for school and local performance, remarking ‘When I got into adult education in 1970, I wanted to bridge this terrible gap between modern music and the local audience.’ He certainly succeeded.

His orchestral works – and there are nineteen of them – as well as several song cycles with orchestral accompaniment all repay attention. Overtures, music for strings, orchestral works including two symphonies, a piano concerto and two short concertante works for violin (Sestina) and for organ (Time Passes) mean that conductors looking for something new and approachable will find material rewarding for both audience and performers. If in doubt why not start with one of the two delightful suites of folk-tune arrangements for strings, taken from The Lilford Owl, or Folksongs from Sark for full orchestra. There were other orchestral works; try the prize-winning overture My Uncle Silas, as well as the witty Lucky Jim and Keele Overture. Northampton commissions include the concentrated Chaconne for orchestra and the atmospheric Twelfth Night: Music for an Imaginary Masque, both commissioned and performed by the Northampton Symphony Orchestra, and the twelve-minute Concerto for String Orchestra, commissioned by Northampton Borough Council to mark Malcolm Arnold’s 70th birthday. Among this varied catalogue the two compact and persuasive symphonies stand out as eloquent examples of the British symphony in their time. When the First Symphony was produced by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Odaline de la Martinez in 1988, it was apparent that here was a personal sound-world that had something to say and successfully embraced a language to reach a wide audience without compromising his vision. In the traditional four movements, its lyricism owes much to the use of ideas from his song cycle The Image Stays. Odaline de la Martinez highlighted ‘a wonderful scherzo – full of life, this continual sense of rhythmic pulse which is changing all the time’.

Hold’s large catalogue of instrumental works includes music for violin (Sonata, Kemp’s Jig), viola (The Weathercock) and cello (Canticle, Two Diversions, Three Folksongs from Sark). For cello there are also ensemble works: the Variations on a Popular Song for two cellos and the Triptych for 8 cellos. Although written for the concert hall Hold’s music for woodwind is repertoire that amateurs will enjoy playing. This engagement with his players is immediately apparent in the pieces for recorders – the busy overture Rutterkin for 7 recorders and Gammer Gurton’s Garland for treble recorder and piano written for the celebrated player John Turner. Equally attractive are the pieces for flute (Pastoral and Caprice), oboe (Air and Dance, and with guitar the late Variations on ‘Caleno Custurame’) and flute/oboe duet, seven short Inventions. Perhaps he most related to the clarinet, producing not only various short pieces (The Blue Firedrake, Solemn Blues and Canonic Boogie, and A Winter Firedrake for unaccompanied clarinet) but also a full-blown clarinet quintet, one of his most outstanding works. Inhabiting much the same world is the Tango and Charleston for alto sax (in homage to the Czech composer Martinů) and a Lullaby that should be on every saxophonist’s list of encores. For bassoon and piano Hold wrote the Dovecote Suite, five delightful movements evoking the family home at Dovecote House in Wadenhoe.

For non-instrumentalists perhaps Hold’s piano music is the best starting point for exploring his music. With its personal voice and varied technical difficulty there is something for everyone. As well as four sonatas and his best known work Kemp’s Nine Daie’s Wonder there are also easier pieces including the folk-tune preludes The Lilford Owl. Kemp’s Nine Daie’s Wonder is published in a handsome edition by Basil Ramsay. Hold’s piano music, notably championed by the pianist Peter Jacobs, encompassed four sonatas on which he was engaged in the last two years of his life, revising his first sonata written in 1959 and producing the third and fourth sonatas, remarkable for their concision and eloquent voice.

With his vast knowledge of English literature, particularly of regional poets, and long experience of vocal settings it is no surprise to find that Hold wrote a substantial catalogue of works for choir, both unaccompanied and with organ, piano or small ensemble. There are also a number of very attractive pieces for children’s voices.

Hold’s dramatic music includes much practical music for church performance and for schools and children’s groups. One must draw attention to possibly his most potentially important work, unfortunately not yet produced, his full length opera The Second Death. Running a little over an hour and a half this would make an ideal focus of a summer festival. The Second Death concerns time and the break in time, with alternating scenes set in the twentieth century and the civil war. Here Hold’s lifelong obsession with character and with communication found a persuasive synthesis in haunting music and imagery of a very personal vision.

It had been inevitable that he would move towards opera as the song cycles became more dramatic, like little monologues. ‘I can see actual characters’ he said, adding ‘rather than a singer in a monkey suit’. Most of his operas were practically conceived for known performers, including The Falcon for church performance, the Christmas opera The Two Nativities after a Wakefield Mystery play and Through the Secret Gate for Northampton High School for Girls. Later came the children’s opera Ask No Questions, commissioned by Eastern Arts for the 1985 Broadland Junior Singers Children’s Camp. Shorter works for children’s groups include Lark Rise, an atmospheric setting of texts by Flora Thompson, Herrick and Clare and Jabberwocky after Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear.

This is a remarkable life’s work which, now that we are able to see it as an entity, something not possible in the composer’s lifetime, reveals a distinctive personality with a loveable view of Hold’s corner of England yet of universal appeal. Although he found a quite personal low key colloquial voice, he was capable of embracing the big moment and in his inimitable way celebrated places, people and history, notably the local poet John Clare and his wife, Sue, the subject of many love poems.
