Happy Birthday William Mathias, who would have been 88 today. Here he is on one of his many US trips. #bod1934

Music isn’t a 2nd class subject, music teachers aren’t 2nd class teachers, and music isn’t just a nice little extra. Music is core, music is fundamental to a holistic and meaningful education, and music teachers make such a positive and lifelong impact on the lives of so many.

A much-loved piece in the Playlister @BBCRadio3 this morning: Farewell to Stromness by Peter Maxwell Davies. He wrote it in protest over the proposed construction of a uranium mine on the Orkney Islands where he lived. Where to? Another farewell? More from Orkney? Tell us!

#PeterMaxwellDavies (for whom #Ulysses was a decisive creative influence) always maintained that it was “better in Italian”! Max spoke German, Italian and French fluently cc @Terribleman @THEMAXTRUST @SylviaJunge3 @Dr_NJones @remcgregor @JudithSerota @MarkSimpson_88 @Lacritica
Happy International Translation Day and happy 100th to Ulysses. With love from @CeatlNews youtu.be/MnGzrQvgJxI

Extraordinary to think that the original director and designer lined up for #PeterMaxwellDavies’ #Taverner were #KenRussell and #DerekJarman

What Malcolm Arnold means to me?
We would like to invite everyone to send us via email a note on “What Malcolm Arnold means to me”. This might be a meeting with him, or you saw him conducting, or perhaps the memories and feelings his music invokes for you.
