The Journal of the Royal Musical Association's first Virtual Special Collection, curated by and featuring an introduction from Lisa Colton and Brianna Dolce, showcases ways of writing about musicians in the pre-modern era.
Focusing in particular on contributions which discuss the careers of musicians themselves, the collection includes articles within the following themes: how to narrate a history of musicians before 1400; types of musical profession during the late medieval and early modern periods; and specific groups or collections of musicians, and their networks of patronage.
This second Virtual Special Collection of articles from the Journal of the Royal Musical Association archives, curated by and featuring an introduction by Brian Inglis, presents approaches to early musical modernism in the period around the First World War.
Within the context of correspondence between Sorabji and Philip Heseltine (whose article of 1918 is discussed), the essay engages with varied themes including gendered identity, women authors, post-tonal harmony, synaesthesia, and orientalism.
