- Letters from Steve Martland to Roger Wright
- Scope & Content:
-
28 letters and postcards from the composer Steve Martland to Roger Wright. All date from Wright's time as director of the British Music Information Centre, with the majority from 1983 and 1984 and another four from 1985 and 1986. The often lengthy letters discuss, among other things: pieces being composed at the time; compositions lessons with Louis Andriessen; Martland's life in the Netherlands; correspondence with John Tavener; other composers and performers.
A 'thank you' card from 2012 (f. 43) refers to a performance of Martland's Street Songs at the BBC Proms that year, thanking Wright for programming it.
Most letters are dated and have been arranged in chronological order. Those without specific dates have been ordered with reference to context and matters discussed in them.
