combineharvestersam Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Good Evening, I'm doing some research for my dissertation and would like to find some articles from organ related journals. Unfortunately does not seem to be an index for: 1. The Organists Review 2. The Organ 3. Choir and Organ This is a great shame, a lot of excellent articles are lost in the depths and can't be found without a lot of searching. Am I wrong? If you know of an index then please let me know Best wishes Sam Austin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcnd5584 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Don't know about 1 and 3 but certainly there was an index (possibly a Betty Matthews job?) for The Organ. pcnd will know for sure. This is correct. However, it is now several years out of date, unless someone else has taken over this onerous task. Betty Matthews died about eight years ago, as far as I can remember. There was an index for Organists' Review which was made available by request a few years ago. There was also a suggestion of instigating an on-line index, which was to be regularly updated; this was proposed as the most convenient method of maintaining a comprehensive reference to current and past articles. There is not, as far as I know, an index for Choir & Organ. Incidentally, if anyone has spare or unwanted copies of the first three issues of C & O, in good condition, which they are happy to sell, I would be interested to hear from them. Thank you.

Denis O'Connor Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 There are three indexes to The Organ that I know of:Betty Matthews(covering all articles 1921-1970)A Supplement to the same covering articles from 1970-1982 and Douglas Carrington's Index covering 1982-1993 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combineharvestersam Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 Sorry to bore everyone again but has anyone heard of an organist called Paul Rochard? He was around in the 1920s and wrote at least two articles for the Musical Times. What I'd really like to know is where he was organist in the years 1924-1925? - Its for my dissertation which I'm still writing. Below are the articles he wrote, if anyone has a copy they can scan and email me I'd be very grateful. Best wishes Sam Austin Inclined Manuals The Musical Times, vol. 71, no 1044 (Feb 1 1930) pg 155 and Organist's Long Service Roll of Honour The Musical Times, vol. 69, no 1028, (Oct 1 1928) pg 928 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcnd5584 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 You could try this Sam - although, as you will see, there is a charge made for access to archive material: http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0027-4666...%3E2.0.CO%3B2-Y I hope that this is what you require.

Vox Humana Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 JSTOR only accept subscriptions from organisations, not individuals. (There's too much of this on the net IMO. I can think of other significantly useful scholarly resources that are simply inaccessible to mere mortals.) If you don't belong to a subscribing university or college, your best bet is to hope that your public library subscribes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't belong to a subscribing university or college, your best bet is to hope that your public library subscribes. This may not be the case, Vox. Try the following: http://www.jstor.org/about/individual.html "Affiliation with a JSTOR participating publisher or scholarly society Individual access to certain journals in the JSTOR archive is provided by some participating publishers and scholarly societies. Individual researchers may purchase an account for Individual Participation through one of these participating JSTOR publishers. If you already have an individual access account, you may enter JSTOR via the JSTOR Password Account Log In page, or the logon page at the publisher's website." However, I do not know whether this would give you access to the archive of The Musical Times. Oxford University Press is listed as a participating publisher - it might be worth a try.

Vox Humana Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Thanks for that. I'd not seen that before. Looks like "work in progress", so maybe there's hope yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT was certainly in there last time I had access (3yrs). Presumably Sam's supervisor will be able to get him access On the general point about exclusion of mere mortals: could this be something that the RCO looks to provide as a membership benefit?

Vox Humana Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 That would indeed be useful, but I would imagine that access would be possible only from computers on subscribing institution's local area network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can access Birmingham Conservatoire's subscriptions to journals from home by logging in and downloading a cookie, the RCO could perhaps do that?

mgp Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 That would indeed be useful, but I would imagine that access would be possible only from computers on subscribing institution's local area network. My ex-employer used to connect all we 'roving' staff via a variety of wierd technical means and we always ended up with secure access to all 'internal' services. On the other hand, there may be an obstacle for licensing reasons. Some licences require lists of named users (obviously unaffordable) but quite a few work on the basis of an upper limit of 'simultaneous users' - which could work. I'll ask a contact in the journals indexing world to see what the usual deal is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't belong to a subscribing university or college, your best bet is to hope that your public library subscribes. I agree. The idea that only card-carrying academics should have access to knowledge is corrosive and contrary to the ideals of academia ; these people - unless they are in the University of Buckingham - survive at my expense on my taxes and their tom-catting invites the question whether they offer (any) value-for-money.

What I'd really like to know is where he was organist in the years 1924-1925? - Its for my dissertation which I'm still writing. After a rummage around JSTOR, I can say that he wrote three letters (not articles) to the MT, and MT contains about a hundred notices of recitals he gave between (at least) 1911 and 1931. In 1925 he gave a recital at Kendal parish church. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwhodges Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Does this help any? He did recitals around there until about 1920. But in 1923 he played a recital in Everton; 1924 in Liverpool; 1925 in Kendal. And his letters of 1923, 1928 and 1931 are all addressed from Kendal.

combineharvestersam Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 Many thanks to everyone who helped. I handed my work in yesterday and hopefully it will go down well. The title was: An investigation into Les Cloches de Hinckley, its story and the key to understanding the background to the piece. Thanks again Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bourdon basher Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hi, You should try contacting the Serials Librarian (or equivalent) or Electronic Resources Librarian at your academic libary. They should be able to tell you quite easily by using various resources (such as Ulrichs, A&I databases) whether the journals are (a) available electronically ( have indexes available © have Tables of Content available onlin etc etc and whether your institution subscribes. If they can't get electronically, they maybe able to get it for you on Inter-library loan. Alternatively, try the British Library Document Supply Centre in Boston Spa - www.bl.uk (not.co.uk, just uk) Not sure if this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
