The symphony ( of nearly 37 minutes duration ) is coupled with two other premiere recordings of British orchestral works, Alexander MacKenzie's Tone Poem, ' La Belle Dame sans Merci ', and Josef Holbrooke's Pantomime Suite op. 16 on CC9034CD.

I am tempted to think that Mr. Holbrooke is only discussing his own grievances against the English public, and that the real heading of his articles should be ' Holbrooke's v. German or any other music '"

:" Perhaps Tchaikovsky has swayed him more than any other writer, although Mr. Holbrooke's music has nothing of the languorous grace of the Russian master's ; it is rougher and more ragged at the edges, but it has much of Tchaikovsky's fire.

The tendency towards the pictorial rather than the abstract in his music undoubtedly stemmed from Holbrooke's tuition at the Royal Academy: his reputation, along with that of other composers ( including Granville Bantock and Arnold Bax ) who studied under Frederick Corder, an ardent Wagnerian, has consequently suffered from what has been perceived as a lack of rigorous musical thought and an assumed want of self-criticism:

A particular target was Ernest Newman, initially an enthusiast for Holbrooke's music but who latterly became cool towards the composer:

Holbrooke's imagination was essentially illustrative:

under Granville Bantock in 1943, when Holbrooke's music was totally unfamiliar to anyone of a later generation, revealed this personal and distinctive sound-texture but otherwise seemed shapeless and repetitive.

Only a small fraction of Holbrooke's large output has been recorded, although he was deeply interested in promoting his music through various reproductive formats.

Holbrooke's statement hints at one of the major effects of precision, namely that the traditional notion of massing a large ground force to confront an opponent, particularly on a " field of battle " is now rendered archaic.

Holbrooke's mother died in 1880 from tuberculosis, leaving the family in the care of Joseph senior, who settled the family in London and took the position of pianist at Collins ' Music Hall, Islington, and later at the Bedford Music Hall.

Collaboration on two further operas, The Children of Don ( first performed at the London Opera House, conducted by Thomas Beecham, on 12 June 1912 ) and Bronwen, brought about the completion of Holbrooke's most ambitious project, a trilogy under the collective title The Cauldron of Annwn setting Scott-Ellis ' versions of tales from the Welsh Mabinogion.

Holbrooke's last words before being sedated for surgery, which have been clarified to have been a comical interchange with his doctor, were: " You've got to end this war in Afghanistan.

:" Holbrooke's personality has also been largely responsible for the amount of opposition that he has received.

Although Holbrooke's choral writing could occasionally be unadventurous and somewhat four-square, as in the poem for chorus and orchestra Byron, there are effects of startling originality elsewhere, ranging from the vocal use of the acciaccatura in The Bells to the multi-layered chorus of shouted warcries in the final act of Bronwen.

Several considered Holbrooke's role in the Dayton Accords to merit the Nobel Peace Prize.

However, " Holbrooke's skill set did not lead to much accomplishment in Afghanistan.

That such expansion can be obtained without a raise in taxes is due to growth of the tax digest and sound fiscal planning on the part of the board of commissioners, headed by Chairman Charles O. Emmerich who is demonstrating that the public trust he was given was well placed, and other county officials.

The board is diminished in both respects, while it retains control over zoning, franchises, pier leases, sale, leasing and assignment of property, and other trusteeship functions.

It will determine the amount of money to be spent by the college and will certify this amount to the board of freeholders, which `` shall appropriate in the same manner as other appropriations are made by it the amount so certified and the amount shall be assessed, levied and collected in the same manner as moneys appropriated for other purposes ''.

Ward Christensen coined the term " Bulletin Board System " as a reference to the traditional cork-and-pin bulletin board often found in entrances of supermarkets, schools, libraries or other public areas where people can post messages, advertisements, or community news.
