Mus. 1273
Compositions by R[ichard] T[ownley] Woodman (1888-1947), variously
autograph scores, drafts, sketches, printers' proofs and printed
editions, spanning the period 1907-c.1932.
Richard ('Dick') Alfred Edward Townley Woodman was born on 12
September 1888, the only son of Edward Pelly Woodman (d. 1901)
and Emily Mary Lillie Ferrand, of The Down House, Shawford, Winchester.
(In 1907 Woodman's widowed mother married Noel Hanbury CBE (1881-1935)
of St Cross Grange, 140 St Cross Road, Winchester.) Woodman was
educated at Eton and Christ Church, where he matriculated in
1907, reading for a Pass Degree (attained 1911). At Christ Church
he moved in the circle of Adrian Boult, who was junior to him
by one year; in 1910 the two men's rooms were back to back. Boult
later recalled having sung Woodman's settings of poems by Thomas
Lovell Beddoes (see items 3, 6, 10 and 11 below), and provided
this cameo portrait of Woodman: 'He is very quiet, but knows
a lot about things and has written some beautiful songs' (Michael
Kennedy, Adrian Boult (London, 1987), pp. 45-6). He was
also an accomplished pianist. After Oxford, Woodman studied music
theory and composition at the Royal College of Music in London
for the academic year 1911-12. He studied with Charles Harford
Lloyd, and took lessons for a while with Gustav Holst. Some of
his choral works were broadcast by the BBC. He seems to have
lived partly at St Cross Grange (to at least 1931) and partly
in London at 61 Cadogan Square SW1 (from c. 1920 onwards); later
in life he may have moved within London to 190 Queen's Gate,
and at his death his address is recorded as 5 Clarence Terrace,
Regents Park. Woodman died on 8 May 1947; the funeral took place
at St Marylebone Parish Church on 13 May. An obituary appeared
in The Times on 10 May 1947.
