Malcolm MacDonald (music critic)
Malcolm MacDonald (also known by the alias Calum MacDonald) was a British author, mainly writing about music. He was born in Nairn, Scotland on 26 February 1948 and educated at the Royal High School, Edinburgh and Downing College, Cambridge; he lived in England from 1971 until his death, first in London and from 1992 in Gloucestershire. He died on 27 May 2014 at Leckhampton Hospice.〔(An encyclopedia of music has died )〕
He wrote several books, notably volumes on Brahms, Schoenberg, John Foulds, Edgard Varèse, the Scottish composer-pianist Ronald Stevenson〔(Gasser, M., "Ronald Stevenson, Composer-Pianist : An Exegetical Critique from a Pianistic Perspective" (Edith Cowan University Press, Western Australia, 2013) )〕 and a three-volume study of the 32 symphonies of Havergal Brian. Other books include a tourist guidebook to the city of Edinburgh and a multi-volume edition of the musical journalism of Havergal Brian. He contributed chapters to symposia on Brahms, Alan Bush, Erik Bergman, Shostakovich, Bernard Stevens, Ronald Stevenson, Varèse, an essay on Czesław Marek to a symposium on Swiss Composers and another on Scottish composers to a symposium on Musical Nationalism in Great Britain and Finland. He also compiled catalogues of the works of John Foulds, Shostakovich, Luigi Dallapiccola and Antal Doráti and contributed articles to many musical encyclopaedias such as the New Grove. He was editor of the modern-music journal Tempo, which he joined in 1972 as assistant to the then editor David Drew, until December 2013, and was a copious contributor to other English-language music-journals and magazines. For these and other journalistic purposes he used the nom-de-plume Calum MacDonald because at the outset of his writing career, which began with record reviewing for the journal ''Records & Recording'', confusion arose between him and the composer Malcolm MacDonald, who was a long-established record reviewer for ''The Gramophone''. As Calum MacDonald he also reviewed regularly for ''BBC Music Magazine'' and ''International Record Review''.
MacDonald was a prime mover in the revival of interest in the music of John Foulds. He has also composed a number of works, mainly piano pieces and songs. In 1996 he edited for performance, and orchestrated the final portions of, the ballet ''Soirées de Barcelone'' by Roberto Gerhard, which was broadcast that year, performed by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, in a concert to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the BBC Third Programme.
