Raymond Monelle; University lecturer, author, conductor, critic;

Raymond Monelle, who has died aged 73, was a prominent, multi-sided member of Edinburgh University’s music faculty for more than 30 years, continuing aspects of his career with renewed intensity when he retired in 2002.

Lecturing and criticising there­after took him further and further afield, with visits to Paris and Rome, Scandinavia and Mexico. The honorary professorship belatedly bestowed upon him was richly deserved.
