Books by Noelle Mann

Noelle Mann was born in 1946 in south-west France and died in London in 2010. Having trained first as a concert pianist, Noelle moved to the UK and read music at Goldsmiths College (University of London), during which she began researching the znamenny chant of the Russian Orthodox Church. Noelle's interest in the Russian choral tradition led her in 1993 to establish the Kalina Choir, the first UK choir exclusively dedicated to performing Russian choral music. Through this and subsequent choral directing, Noelle developed her research and performance practice of this music. As a musicologist, Noelle's interests embraced both Russian choral music and the life and work of Serge Prokofiev. Noelle became the Founding Curator of the Prokofiev Archive in 1994 and established the academic Centre for Russian Music at Goldsmiths College in 1997. In 2001, Noelle founded and became Editor of Three Oranges, an academic journal dedicated to the study of the life and times of Prokofiev.
