The Overture

Published by the composer Frederick Corder and printed by Novello, Ewer & Co., The Overture was a monthly journal “to strengthen the bonds of friendly interest and sympathy between the many individuals connected in the present or in the past with the Royal Academy of Music.” As such, the journal chronicles activities of students, faculty, and alumni of the Royal Academy. In addition, articles on pedagogical topics, reviews of concerts and new musical publications, and advertising can be found.
