If you are in London and need a new baton you could do worse than visit J.P.Guivier & Son at 99 Mortimer St W1W 7SX Tel: 0207 580 2560. (Come out of Oxford Circus tube station, walk north up Regent Street towards the BBC, turn right into Mortimer St and it's on the right hand side). Their website is at www.guivier.com For the Canford technique the batons with "cigar" shaped handles, length 16" are most suitable (F & G on the Guivier chart). If you want to buy one of these, you can ask for the ones they make to Denise Ham's specifications as they are weighted in a certain way. Avoid the "bulb" shaped handles which are really designed for the Boult technique. The Craft of Conducting (second edition August 2003) - Denise Ham A complete guide to conducting technique in two volumes. Available in PAL (Europe excluding France) and NTSC (Americas and Japan) but not SECAM The Craft of Conducting is also available in DVD format which will play on all computers and most modern DVD players in all territories The second edition of this very successful course is an extensive reworking of the material contained in the first edition. The musical illustrations are completely new and substantially more comprehensive than before. The course takes the student through from the basics of stance, contact with the sound, beating patterns, baton technique and left hand, through to advanced concepts of interpretation through aspect and gesture. The musical examples (all filmed at the Royal Academy of Music in London) provide a comprehensive series of demonstrations which illustrate the character and subtlety that will result from putting into practice the lessons learned from the technical sessions. For further information visit: Videos can be ordered from Tansy Productions. Video Artists International. This site has many historic videos of the great masters rehearsing and in performance. Available in PAL and NTSC. The following list is a list of the books which may be useful if you wish to research further. The asterisked ones are often referred to at Canford
