  • The Impact of Russian Music in England 1893-1929
    THE IMPACT OF RUSSIAN MUSIC IN ENGLAND 1893-1929 by GARETH JAMES THOMAS A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Music School of Humanities The University of Birmingham March 2005 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis is an investigation into the reception of Russian music in England for the period 1893-1929 and the influence it had on English composers. Part I deals with the critical reception of Russian music in England in the cultural and political context of the period from the year of Tchaikovsky’s last successful visit to London in 1893 to the last season of Diaghilev’s Ballet russes in 1929. The broad theme examines how Russian music presented a challenge to the accepted aesthetic norms of the day and how this, combined with the contextual perceptions of Russia and Russian people, problematized the reception of Russian music, the result of which still informs some of our attitudes towards Russian composers today. Part II examines the influence that Russian music had on British composers of the period, specifically Stanford, Bantock, Vaughan Williams, Holst, Frank Bridge, Bax, Bliss and Walton.

  • 1 the Reception of Cécile Chaminade's Music and the Idea Of
    The Reception of Cécile Chaminade’s Music and the Idea of the Woman Composer By Melody Zhuo Senior Honors Thesis Department of Music University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill May 4, 2021 Approved: Andrea Bohlman, Thesis Advisor Clara Yang, Reader 1 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Andrea Bohlman, whose enthusiasm, patience, and mentorship have been a constant guiding light in my research during COVID-19. I would also like to thank my piano teacher and reader Dr. Clara Yang for her unwavering support of my musical studies and encouragement of my scholarship in women composers. I equally thank Diane Steinhaus, who graciously dedicated her time to help me secure archival resources despite challenges in the pandemic. I am also indebted to the faculty and staff at UNC Department of Music, who have inspired me to pursue my passion and use my voice to give voice to underrepresented communities. This project was supported by the Kimball King Undergraduate Research Fund administered by Honors Carolina, which generously contributed to the cost of sheet music, CDs, and literature materials. 2 Chapter 1 Who is Cécile Chaminade? Who is Cécile Chaminade (1857-1944)? Here are some ways people have answered this question. The opening lines for an entry of Chaminade by Marcia Citron in the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians include: French composer and pianist. While it is striking that nearly all of Chaminade’s approximately 400 compositions were published, even more striking is the sharp decline in her reputation as the 20th century progressed. This is partly attributable to modernism and a general disparagement of late Romantic French music, but it is also due to the socio-aesthetic conditions affecting women and their music.1 When I read this, I was very surprised that Citron, a leading scholar on Chaminade and gender and music, presents Chaminade by first describing the composer’s publication and reception history.

  • Music and Books on Music from the Russian Imperial Collection in the Library of Congress
    Music and Books on Music from the Russian Imperial Collection in the Library of Congress A Bibliography By Kevin LaVine Senior Music Specialist I. Introduction The Library of Congress’s Russian Imperial Collection is comprised of approximately 2800 volumes which were originally held within the personal libraries of the Russian Imperial family. This Collection contains publications and manuscript material on a diverse range of subjects, including Russian history, military and naval history, law, religion, geography, Russian and foreign (largely French) literature, children’s books, as well as musical scores and books on music-related subjects, all of which are housed in their respective subject area divisions within the Library. The Library purchased this Collection from Russian-born New York book dealer Israel Perlstein (1897-1975) in several installments throughout the 1930s. The acquisition of this material by the Library coincided with the particular moment in history when the recently formed Soviet government was liquidating Tsarist property – the same moment when, as fortune would have it, then Librarian of Congress Herbert Putnam was devoting significant effort and resources towards shaping the Library into a world-class research institution. Putnam’s recognition of the value of this material, and his immediate efforts to acquire it, secured for the Library at a stroke a unique and substantial addition to its remarkable collections of Russian material, today regarded as the largest such collection beyond Russia itself. The music material contained within the Russian Imperial Collection, numbering approximately 150 titles, is primarily held within the collections of the Library’s Music Division, with a handful of titles held in the Library’s Rare Book and Special Collections Division.

  • Arthur Seymour Sullivan
    ARTHUR SEYMOUR SULLIVAN BY FLORENCE A. MARSHALL CONTAINED IN FAMOUS COMPOSERS AND THEIR WORKS 1891 Edited 2011 by David Trutt Los Angeles, California, USA email: [email protected] Web Site: www.haddon-hall.com 2 ARTHUR SEYMOUR SULLIVAN BY FLORENCE A MARSHALL This biography and critique was written by the respected composer, conductor and writer Florence A. Marshall for a large scale effort entitled “Famous Composers and Their Works” published in 1891. This places the biography before Sullivan’s death in 1900. Sullivan had already completed the twelfth of the fourteen Gilbert and Sullivan operas, “The Gondoliers” in 1889; also his grand opera “Ivanhoe” in January 1891. Still to come was the successful light opera with libretto by Sydney Grundy, “Haddon Hall” in 1892; also the final two Gilbert and Sullivan operas, “Utopia Limited” in 1893 and “The Grand Duke” in 1896. Florence Ashton Marshall (nee Thomas) was born in 1843; she studied music at the Royal Academy of Music in London. She married businessman, writer and music collector Julian Marshall in 1864 and had three daughters. Florence Marshall is most remembered for her two volume “Life and Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley.” Florence Marshall wrote many articles about English music of the period, including “Music and the People” in 1880 and “Music and the Masses” in 1892, both appearing in the periodical “The Nineteenth Century.” The dates of these two articles, written twelve years apart, fall within what is sometimes called “The English Musical Renaissance.” 3 ARTHUR SEYMOUR SULLIVAN BY FLORENCE A MARSHALL Arthur Seymour Sullivan, the most widely and popularly known of living English composers, was born in London on the 13th of May, 1842.

Publishing), Vol.2, No.6 (2014), pp. 30-48. At the turn of the twentieth century, Britain was caught up in a wave of veritable Russomania.1 There were exhibitions of Russian art; numerous first translations of Russian novels; successful premieres of music by Russian composers; and, in 1911, Russian fever hit the stage when Sergei Diaghilev brought his famous Saisons Russes to London for the first time. British ballet dancers even started changing their names to Russian ones: Lillian Alicia Marks became Alicia Markova; Sydney Healy-Kay became Anton Dolin. As argued first and foremost by Richard Taruskin, the legacy of Diaghilev has lingered ever since, leading Russian music to be marketed, analysed and enjoyed in Britain on the basis of its supposed unique Russian qualities.2 And yet, there was a time when being Russian was not so attractive to British audiences.

  • Documenting the Zenith of Women Song Composers: a Database of Songs Published in the United States and the British Commonwealth, Ca
    DOCUMENTING THE ZENITH OF WOMEN SONG COMPOSERS: A DATABASE OF SONGS PUBLISHED IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH, CA. 1890–1930 By Christopher Reynolds छ The purpose of this article is to call attention to a database devoted to women composers and songwriters, and to point to a few of the histori- cal issues that this database makes it possible to investigate. The focus is women who composed songs between roughly 1890 and 1930, and who published them in the United States, Great Britain, and in the far-flung countries of the British Commonwealth. Because the database accounts for where a song was published rather than the nationality of the com- poser, it includes a few women like Cécile Chaminade, who published substantially in London and in the United States, and Maria Grever, a Mexican who lived and worked for many years in New York City. The database is a companion to my still-expanding collection of songs by women, which now contains nearly 5,000 songs and song publications, more than 3,400 of which are housed in the Special Collections Department of Shields Library at the University of California, Davis.1 When I set out in the early 1990s to document how numerous and sig- nificant women songwriters were, I had little idea about the scope of the project I had undertaken. Now, twenty years later, my database has grown steadily to more than 15,500 entries of songs and song publications by 1,607 women composers and songwriters who published songs in North Christopher Reynolds is professor of music at the University of California, Davis.
