The IAML Publications Awards Subcommittee, at the 2023 Congress in Cambridge, announced the recipients of the Vladimir Fédorov Award for the best article and the François Lesure Award for the best review published in volume 69 (2022) of Fontes Artis Musicae.

The 2022 Vladimir Fédorov Award

Frank, Jonathan. "Nourmahal's Song: An Unknown Coleridge-Taylor Work." Fontes Artis Musicae, vol. 69 no. 2, 2022, p. 142-156. Project MUSE, doi:10.1353/fam.2022.0012.

The IAML 2022 Vladimir Fédorov Award goes to Jonathan Frank for “Nourmahal’s Song: An Unknown Coleridge-Taylor Work”, which is a brilliant description of the processes one has to follow when indulging in a bit of extreme cataloguing, and as such it is very relevant to the daily work of a librarian, not just the cataloguers, but for everyone who has an interest in the correct identification of the items in their collections.  It is a thorough dissection of the origins of this manuscript whilst remaining interesting and enjoyable. 

The 2022 François Lesure Award
