National Music Council.British organization, founded in 1953 by the government. It was originally conceived as the British representative on the International Music Council, but has become increasingly concerned with activities within Britain. In collaboration with other British arts councils, the British Council and its member organizations, it aims to promote and represent the interests of organizations working within music in the UK. In 1972 it initiated the Local Authority Award Scheme. 
National Opera Studio.London training school established in 1978 as the successor to the London Opera Centre; see London, §VIII, 3(vi). National School of Opera.London training school founded in 1948; its work was continued by the London Opera Centre from 1963 to 1978. See London, §vii, 3(vii). National Sound Archive [NSA].One of the largest Sound archives in the world, based at the British Library, London. The archive was founded after World War II by Patrick Saul, who had visited the British Museum in the 1930s in search of an ex-catalogue record only to find that sound recordings were not preserved there at all – a situation he resolved to remedy. Institutional support was not forthcoming in the 1950s until Decca gave £500 and a Birmingham-based Quaker trust donated £2000. The archive opened as the British Institute of Recorded Sound (BIRS) in 1955 on British Museum premises in Russell Square. From 1961, following lobbying by musicians including Adrian Boult and Myra Hess, the government awarded the archive an annual grant-in-aid. In 1966 it moved to premises in South Kensington; it became part of the British Library in 1983 and in 1997 moved with the library to its new building in St Pancras. The music collections of the NSA are divided into four sections (Western art music, popular music, jazz, and traditional and non-Western classical musics), each with its own curator. Copies are received of most commercially released British recordings, and the archive purchases recordings from throughout the world. It provides the only public access to the BBC Sound Archives and has itself recorded off-air from BBC networks since the early 1960s. The archive has also received donations from private collectors. The earliest field recordings held in the NSA are the A.C. Haddon cylinders made in the Torres Straits in the 1890s. Other notable ethnographic collections include those of Jim Carroll and Pat Mackenzie in the UK, a.l. Lloyd in Europe, klaus Wachsmann in Uganda, and Brian Moser and Donald Taylor in Canada. The archive also makes recordings of events including the WOMAD festival and jazz performances in London. Besides its own catalogue and the catalogues of the BBC Sound Archives, the NSA holds a large collection of discographies, record catalogues and periodicals. Its publications include the Bulletin of the British Institute of Recorded Sound (1956–60) and the journal Recorded Sound (1961–84).
National Training School for Music.London conservatory founded in 1873, replaced by the Royal College of Music in 1882. See London, §VII, 3. National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain.Orchestra founded in 1947 by Ruth Railton for children under the age of 20 with exceptional musical talent who were not in full-time musical education. Native American Indian music.See Amerindian music and United States of America, §II, 4. Natra, Sergiu [Nadler, Serge](b Bucharest, 12 April 1924). Israeli composer of Romanian birth. He studied at the Bucharest Academy of Music with Leo Keppler. In 1945 he won the George Enescu Prize for his March and Chorale (which was performed by the Palestine PO in 1947, 14 years prior to his immigration to Israel); he won the Romanian State Prize in 1951. In 1961 he settled in Tel-Aviv, where his music was soon recognized and performed at the Israel Festival by the Israel PO and Israel Chamber Ensemble. From 1975 to 1985 he taught at the Rubin Academy of Music at Tel-Aviv University. His Israeli honours include the Milo (1965), Engel (1970) and Prime Minister (1984) prizes for composers. Natra’s early works show the influence of Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Hindemith, composers whose music had been banned in Bucharest and played only by an orchestra of Jewish musicians who had been dismissed from other orchestras in the city. The same Jewish orchestra performed Natra's first works of 1943–4. Natra’s style changed after World War II to incorporate more folk elements, but turned back to a sonorous atonal style in 1954. A perceived link with French atonality marginalized him during the 1970s. Typical of his compositions is a manipulation of short motives through developing variation, as in the Piano Trio (1971). The use of Hebrew and an attention to biblical themes is characteristic of dramatic vocal works such as the Song of Deborah (1967) and ‘Avodat ha-qodesh (‘Sacred Service’, 1976). His works for the harp, among them Sonatina (1969), Prayer (1970) and Divertimento (1976), have won him international recognition. WORKS(selective list)
