Gill Sans SUBS ● 18th Sep 2022		78 RPM Hastings Municipal Orchestra - Slavonic Rhapsody – Op. 114 / Slavonic Rhapsody – Op. 114 (1931)	Carl Friedemann (1862 – 1952) can be shown correctly as a composer now you have entered this to Classical world; I cannot identify the Woodhouse who did the arrangement, they were probably a member of the orchestra.
Gill Sans SUBS ● 17th Sep 2022		78 RPM Band Of H.M. Scots Guards - In A Monastery Garden / In A Persian Market (1924)	Thanks, my misreading, but I stand by my conclusion about the speed.
Gill Sans SUBS ● 17th Sep 2022		78 RPM Madame Clara Butt - Abide With Me (1915)	The label does not mention a speed, but it displays the key signature as C. At the time of release the pitch of notes was about a semitone lower than today's standard pitch. If the phonograph in the "Brass Band" video is set for 78RPM, we can conclude that these early Columbia records were recorded at 78RPM. [YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS ● 17th Sep 2022		78 RPM Madame Clara Butt - The Little Silver Ring (1909)	[YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS ● 17th Sep 2022		78 RPM Band Of H.M. Scots Guards - In A Monastery Garden / In A Persian Market (1924)	The matrix numbers are followed by "Characteristic Pitch" on the labels. This would have been helpful in setting the correct playback speed on the wind-up gramophones of the time against your own piano or tuning fork, but raises the question about the prevailing pitch system. In A Persian Market was written in D minor, and at this time French standard of A= 435 Hz was in general use. From 1936, the American Standards Association defined Concert Pitch A = 440Hz. The video above has got the pitch about right, at about a semitone lower than modern Concert pitch. If one assumes the phonograph has been set for 78RPM, then we can presume that these Winner and Edison Bell series were recorded at a nominal 78RPM. Other labels also showed the key signature in preference to the speed, including some early HMV records, like 03156
Gill Sans SUBS ● 16th Sep 2022		78 RPM The Choristers Of St. Nicolas College, Chislehurst, Kent - O Lovely Peace / Brother James' Air ("Marosa") (1941)	Master John Evans-Pugh (boy soprano) sings Brother James Air. One wonders if any other of the choir members have been identified.. [YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS ● 14th Sep 2022		78 RPM Royal Albert Hall Orchestra - Peer Gynt Suite – Morning (1911)	2.5mm thick, shellac on a softer substrate From the Kelly On-line Database this is shown with a recording date of 18 Dec. 1911, but 78 RPM World shows single-sided HMV discs with this black label design only in 1918, the earlier series having red or dark red labels in this pattern.
Gill Sans SUBS ● 19th Jun 2022		78 RPM Alfred Deller - Music For A While / If Music Be The Food Of Love (1st Setting) (1949)	[YouTube Video]
Gill Sans SUBS ● 8th Jun 2022		78 RPM Webster Booth - The Faery Song / The English Rose (1939)	The Faery Song: [YouTube Video]

Gill Sans SUBS ● 20th Feb 2022		78 RPM The Choir Of Salisbury Cathedral - He Shall Feed His Flock / Yea, Though I Walk (1928)	The choir was directed by Walter Alcock. The choristers included a 12-year-old Bernard Rose, who became Assistant Organist at Salisbury at the age of 15, and Clive Jenkinson. [YouTube Video]
