Music in Northern Ireland: Two Major Figures: Havelock Nelson (1917-1996) and Joan Trimble (1915 - 2000) - Paperback (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

by Alasdair Jamieson (Author)

Nelson and Trimble were both vital catalysts in the musical life of Northern Ireland. Havelock Nelson was employed by the BBC in the Province; he was a pianist, composer, conductor and operatic animateur. Joan Trimble was best known as a pianist - notably in the duo with her sister Valerie - but also she was a distinguished composer. The present book arose from an AHRC-funded project (2008-2010) researching into the musical life of Northern Ireland, and is the first publication to examine the many facets of these two major figures.
