in the 20th century, the music of Australia, and the relationships between music and
literature. Her PhD was on'Meanings in the Music of John Ireland', after which
she published<em>The Music of John Ireland</em>(Ashgate, 2000) and<em>The Soundscapes

in the works of Australian authors. She has also contributed to<em>New Grove II</em>and<em>The
Oxford Dictionary of National Biograph</em>y.</p><div> </div><div>Fiona maintains

volume is a must for all interested in the subject. It’s one of the best of

study’</div><div><em>Cathedral Music</em>, 2001:‘a first-rate biography’’</div><p> </p><div> </div><h4> </h4><h4>Current
research projects</h4><div>Fiona is currently working on two books. The first looks
at the Boyd Neel Orchestra and its role in the history of music-making in Britain
from 1933 to 1953. During its twenty-year history this string orchestra made many
recordings, gave numerous BBC broadcasts and over a thousand live performances. It
included some of the leading string soloists of the time and had a reputation as a
fine group with an original contribution in its innovative programming and performance
style. Fiona has been awarded an Edison Fellowship for 2016-17 to work on the British
Library's collection of recordings of this orchestra. The second book is
a new biography of John Ireland, approaching the composer through his extended
family.</div><div> </div><p><img alt="" src="http://www.open.ac.uk/people/sites/www.open.ac.uk.people/files/images/P1000258.JPG"
