      <p class="subhead">Press Release (1-01-2012)</p>
      <p>Plumbago  Books are pleased to announce two recent publications, two forthcoming  publications and two small projects. All are distributed by Boydell &amp;  Brewer Ltd. unless otherwise indicated:</p>
      <p>2010  saw the publication of Christopher Wintle&rsquo;s <em>Metapoetics.  Aphorisms, Thoughts and Maxims on Life, Art and Music</em>, an attempt to  organize the precepts that stand behind the making and reception of the arts  into a unified body of thought. This includes a set of ten illustrations of imaginary  &lsquo;Beasts&rsquo; by the distinguished Brazilian artist, Ana Maria Pacheco. <br>
        (ISBN:  978-0-9566007-0-7 (hardback) and 978-0-9566007-1-4 (paperback), xx + 156 pp.)</p>
      <p>2011  saw the publication of A.M. Garnham&rsquo;s <em>Hans  Keller and Internment. The Development of an Emigr&eacute; Musician (1938-48),</em> a  poignant and authoritative chronicle of Hans Keller&rsquo;s experience in Austria  during the <em>Kristallnacht</em>, his move to  London in 1938, his time in Internment Camps in Huyton and the Isle of Man, and  the subsequent years up until 1948 as he began to establish himself in the  musical and cultural life of London. It includes a number of texts by Keller  himself and ends with an affectionate memoir by Donald Mitchell (his co-editor  on <em>Music Survey</em>), &lsquo;Hans Keller in the  Early Days&rsquo;.<br>
        The  richly illustrated volume was funded by The Cosman Keller Art and Music Trust.  (ISBN: 978-0-9556087-7-3 (hardback) and 978-0-9556087-8-0 (paperback), xiv +  314 pp.)</p>
      <p>In  2011 Plumbago also published a birthday canon for 3 Voices by Hugh Wood for  Milein Cosman&rsquo;s 90th birthday (&lsquo;A Message from J. Haydn &hellip; as told to  Hugh Wood&rsquo;). This was first performed at Burgh House, Hampstead by Jane  Manning, Susie Self and Louise Holzbecher on 31 March 2011. (Parts available  from plumbago@btinternet.com)</p>
    <p>In  2012 Plumbago will be publishing Christopher Dromey&rsquo;s <em>The Pierrot Ensembles. Chronicle and Catalogue</em> <em>(1912-2012),</em> a meticulous study of the first hundred years of the  kind of mixed chamber ensemble, with or without voice, ushered in by Arnold  Schoenberg&rsquo;s <em>Pierrot lunaire</em> (1911),  with an emphasis on its development in Britain. This volume has been funded by  Middlesex University.</p>
    <p>In  2013 Plumbago will celebrate the centenary of the birth of Benjamin Britten  with Hans Keller&rsquo;s <em>Britten. The Creative  Character and Other Writings</em>, a selection of the principal essays on the  composer by his lifelong champion <a name="_GoBack"></a>Hans Keller, including  previously unpublished correspondence and other rarely available work. <br />
    This volume is to be funded by The Cosman Keller  Art and Music Trust.</p>
    <p>In  May, 2012 Plumbago will also publish a small volume by Joe Bain, a remarkable  and charismatic schoolmaster who died in 2011: <em>The Book of Bain. Verses, Orations and Essays</em>, edited by Justin  Wintle, x + 54 pp. (Available from: Plumbago Books, 26 Iveley Road, London SW4  0EW.)</p>

 <p class="subhead">Welcome</p>
  <p class="text-smallindent"><b>Plumbago Books and Arts</b> is a small, not-for-profit award-winning academic  press launched in London  in 2000 to publish and promote writings and events in music and the arts that  might otherwise have no outlet. It takes its name from the plant that grows in  the wild across Europe and elsewhere but in Britain needs to be protected from the  cruel frost of the climate. Its logo was designed by Mary Fedden OBE, RA after  the characteristic blue flower of the <em><a href="plumbago/flower.htm">plumbago  capensis</a></em>. The company is based in Clapham  Old Town  in South West London with its technical support in Oxford. Its books are distributed internationally  by Boydell &amp; Brewer Ltd. from Woodbridge, Suffolk, and its main printer is the MPG Books Group of  King&rsquo;s Lynn, Norfolk.  It has received financial support from The Hans Keller Trust, The Cosman Keller  Art and Music Trust, King&rsquo;s College London, the Institute of Advanced Musical  Studies (KCL), the Faculty of Music of Cambridge University, the Britten Estate  Ltd., The Jewish Music Institute (SOAS) in conjunction with the Millennium  Award scheme funded by the National Lottery, The William Alwyn Foundation, The  William Scott Foundation and private donors. Its books are scrupulously refereed  and are regularly reviewed in leading journals.</p>
  <p class="text-smallindent">&nbsp;</p>
  <p class="text-smallindent">In its first decade, Plumbago Books has developed three  strands: The Hans Keller Archive, The Poetics of Music and a General List. <strong>The Hans Keller Archive</strong> is part of the  publishing outlet for a project to assemble in book form the principal writings  of the well-known and influential Austrian &eacute;migr&eacute; Hans Keller (1919-85); the  editorial office is at King&rsquo;s College London (where the Director is currently a  Senior Research Fellow) and many of the publications are supported by the Cosman  Keller Art and Music Trust (of which the Director is a Board Member). Plumbago Books  is responsible for four titles: <em><a href="books/01-jer-intro.htm">The  Jerusalem Diary: Music, Society and Politics, 1977 and 1979</a></em> (with drawings  by Milein Cosman) (2001); <em><a href="books/02-psych-intro.htm">Music and  Psychology: From Vienna to London, 1939-52</a></em> (2003); <em><a href="books/k3-film.htm">Film Music and Beyond: Writings on Music and the Screen, 1946-59</a></em> (2006); and Alison Garnham&rsquo;s account of <em>Hans  Keller and Internment: The Development of an &Eacute;migr&eacute; Musician, 1938-48</em> (2011). <em><a href="books/01-jer-intro.htm">The Jerusalem Diary</a></em> won the  Royal Philharmonic Society Book of the Year Prize for 2001: Joan Sutherland  presented the award to Milein Cosman during the Society&rsquo;s annual dinner at the  Dorchester Hotel, London  on 8 May 2002. <strong>The Poetics of Music</strong> series is an attempt to map out a modern equivalent to the <em>ars poeticus</em> (Horace), the artistic instruction of the ancients,  with wilfully heterogeneous volumes by composers, critics, scholars,  performers, analysts and others. The first four volumes show how its repertory  is drawn from music new and old: Julian Littlewood&rsquo;s <em><a href="books/03-vjb-intro.htm">The Variations of Johannes Brahms</a></em> (2004, with an introduction by  Alexander Goehr), Hugh Wood&rsquo;s <em><a href="books/p4-staking.htm">Staking Out  the Territory and Other Writings on Music</a></em> (2007, with an introduction by  Bayan Northcott), Bayan Northcott&rsquo;s <a href="books/p5-listen.htm"><em>The  Way We Listen Now</em> <em>and Other Writings  on Music</em></a> (2009), Christopher Wintle&rsquo;s <a href="books/p3-gods.htm"><em>All  the Gods: Benjamin Britten&rsquo;s Night-piece in Context</em> </a>(2006) and <em>Metapoetics: Aphorisms, Thoughts and Maxims on  Life, Art and Music</em> (2010). The <strong>General  List</strong> has opened with a book by Leo Black, a member of Hans Keller&rsquo;s circle, <em>BBC Music in the Glock Era and After: A  Memoir</em> (2010).</p>
<p class="text-smallindent">&nbsp;</p>
  <p class="text-smallindent">From the outset, Plumbago Arts has consistently supported  small projects, events and concerts in London.  Most recently it published a 2010 calendar of <em><a href="books/91-2010_calendar.html">Dancers</a></em> by Milein Cosman on behalf of the Cosman Keller Art and  Music Trust; on 24 April 2010 it contributed to an evening devoted to the  pianist, teacher and former BBC employee Paul Hamburger at the Austrian  Cultural Forum (Knightsbridge); and it continues to supply King&rsquo;s College  London with <a href="books/z1-mmp.htm">A3-size &lsquo;Schenker&rsquo; manuscript pape</a>r.</p>
