If you are unaware of the many advantages of a Life Insurance Trust, it may be that a talk with a Shawmut Trust Officer would show you precisely how this type of protection would best suit your insurance needs. For example, your life insurance can very easily be arranged to provide life-long support for your widow plus a substantial inheritance for your children. In Shawmut's Personal Trust Department we would be glad to discuss your complete insurance program . with you, your life insurance counsellor and your attorney, or simply write for a copy of our brochure "A Modern Life Insurance Program."

OVERTURE TO BYRON'S "MANFRED," Op. 115 By Robert Schumann Born in Zwickau, Saxony, June 8, 1810; died in Endenich, near Bonn, July 29, 1856 Schumann composed his music for Byron's "Manfred" in the latter part of 1848. The Overture, completed on November 4 at Dresden, had its first concert per- formance at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig, March 14, 1852, as part of a "Schumann evening," when Robert conducted from the manuscript. The first performance of the complete music — a stage production — was given at Weimar under the direction of Franz Liszt, June 13, 1852. The first concert performance was at Leipzig, March 14, 1859, when Schumann conducted. The Overture was first played in New York at a Philharmonic concert November 21, 1857. The complete "Manfred" music was performed by the same orchestra May 8, 1869, when Edwin Booth impersonated Manfred. The Overture was first performed in Boston at a Harvard Musical Association concert November 17, 1869. The complete music was first heard in Boston when the Cecilia Society performed it April 24, 1880.

Through this passage of time many changes have been made in the original design. The early instruments shown in drawings on the tomb of Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Hebrews took the form as we know it today. The pedal harp was invented about 1720 by a Bavarian named Hochbrucker and through this ingenious device it be- came possible to play in eight major and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment. The certainty of change makes necessary a continuous review of your insurance protection. We welcome the opportunity of providing this service for your business or personal needs.

WILEY HITCHCOCK Quartet in B-flat major, Op. 64, No. 3 JOSEPH HAYDN Chamber music owes much to Joseph Haydn. Almost all of the chamber works before his contributions were based on the continuo principle: the chamber group was supported by a keyboard instrument which filled in the harmonies between a bass part and the florid upper parts. Now, since the continuo player extemporized, there was much indiscriminate doubling of notes, and the written-down parts of the chamber instruments had no absolute tonal meaning; the composer could never be sure how his music would sound. In nearly eighty string quartets, and many other chamber works, Haydn attempted to solve the problem of creating chamber music intended as independent of the "help­ ing hand" of a continuo.

  • Establishing the Tudor Dynasty: the Role of Francesco Piccolomini in Rome As First Cardinal Protector of England
    2017 IV Establishing the Tudor Dynasty: The Role of Francesco Piccolomini in Rome as First Cardinal Protector of England Susan May Article: Establishing the Tudor Dynasty: The Role of Francesco Piccolomini in Rome as First Cardinal Protector of England Establishing the Tudor Dynasty: The Role of Francesco Piccolomini in Rome as First Cardinal Protector of England1 Susan May Abstract: Between 1492 and 1503, Francesco Todeschini Piccolomini (1439–1503) was the first officially appointed Cardinal Protector of England. This paper focuses on a select few of his activities executed in that capacity for Henry Tudor, King Henry VII. Drawing particularly on two unpublished letters, it underscores the importance for King Henry of having his most trusted supporters translated to significant bishoprics throughout the land, particularly in the northern counties, and explores Queen Elizabeth of York’s patronage of the hospital and church of St Katharine-by-the-Tower in London. It further considers the mechanisms through which artists and humanists could be introduced to the Tudor court, namely via the communication and diplomatic infrastructure of Italian merchant-bankers. This study speculates whether, by the end of his long incumbency of forty-three years at the Sacred College, uncomfortably mindful of the extent of a cardinal’s actual and potential influence in temporal affairs, Piccolomini finally became reluctant to wield the power of the purple. Keywords: Francesco Todeschini Piccolomini; Henry VII; early Tudor; cardinal protector; St Katharine’s; Italian merchant-bankers ope for only twenty-six days following his election, taking the name of Pius III (Fig. 1), Francesco Todeschini Piccolomini (1439–1503) has understandably been P overshadowed in reputation by his high-profile uncle, Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini, Pope Pius II (1458–64).

He has to be counted amongst the small number of highly gifted artists possessing keen, rapid and versatile perception, as well as the ability to express themselves creatively; his talents and interests were not limited to music, but also encompassed the other arts, languages, sciences, religion and philosophy. Music, however, remained central for him, the field around which every thing else was grouped. The hierarchy of his talents resulted mainly from his upbringing. At first glance, his early childhood seems harsh: at the tender age of three months, his father died, and only a few months later also his great uncle, with whose family Jacques-Joseph-Victor Saint-Saëns and his wife and child had shared a house. Initially, Camille was placed in a children’s home; two years later, however, he was returned to the care of his mother on account of his poor constitution.

  • Anna Bolena Opera by Gaetano Donizetti
    ANNA BOLENA OPERA BY GAETANO DONIZETTI Presentation by George Kurti Plohn Anna Bolena, an opera in two acts by Gaetano Donizetti, is recounting the tragedy of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of England's King Henry VIII. Along with Gioachino Rossini and Vincenzo Bellini, Donizetti was a leading composer of the bel canto opera style, meaning beauty and evenness of tone, legato phrasing, and skill in executing highly florid passages, prevalent during the first half of the nineteenth century. He was born in 1797 and died in 1848, at only 51 years of age, of syphilis for which he was institutionalized at the end of his life. Over the course of is short career, Donizetti was able to compose 70 operas. Anna Bolena is the second of four operas by Donizetti dealing with the Tudor period in English history, followed by Maria Stuarda (named for Mary, Queen of Scots), and Roberto Devereux (named for a putative lover of Queen Elizabeth I of England). The leading female characters of these three operas are often referred to as "the Three Donizetti Queens." Anna Bolena premiered in 1830 in Milan, to overwhelming success so much so that from then on, Donizetti's teacher addressed his former pupil as Maestro. The opera got a new impetus later at La Scala in 1957, thanks to a spectacular performance by 1 Maria Callas in the title role. Since then, it has been heard frequently, attracting such superstar sopranos as Joan Sutherland, Beverly Sills and Montserrat Caballe. Anna Bolena is based on the historical episode of the fall from favor and death of England’s Queen Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII.

  • Philharmonic Hall Lincoln Center F O R T H E Performing Arts
    PHILHARMONIC HALL LINCOLN CENTER F O R T H E PERFORMING ARTS 1968-1969 MARQUEE The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center is Formed A new PERFORMiNG-arts institution, The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, will begin its first season of con­ certs next October with a subscription season of 16 concerts in eight pairs, run­ ning through early April. The estab­ lishment of a chamber music society completes the full spectrum of perform­ ing arts that was fundamental to the original concept of Lincoln Center. The Chamber Music Society of Lin­ coln Center will have as its home the Center’s new Alice Tully Hall. This intimate hall, though located within the new Juilliard building, will be managed by Lincoln Center as an independent Wadsworth Carmirelli Treger public auditorium, with its own entrance and box office on Broadway between 65th and 66th Streets. The hall, with its 1,100 capacity and paneled basswood walls, has been specifically designed for chamber music and recitals. The initial Board of Directors of the New Chamber Music Society will com­ prise Miss Alice Tully, Chairman; Frank E. Taplin, President; Edward R. Ward­ well, Vice-President; David Rockefeller, Jr., Treasurer; Sampson R. Field, Sec­ retary; Mrs. George A. Carden; Dr. Peter Goldmark; Mrs. William Rosen- wald and Dr. William Schuman. The Chamber Music Society is being organ­ ized on a non-profit basis and, like other cultural institutions, depends upon voluntary contributions for its existence. Charles Wadsworth has been ap­ pointed Artistic Director of The Cham­ ber Music Society of Lincoln Center. The Society is the outgrowth of an in­ tensive survey of the chamber music field and the New York chamber music audience, conducted by Mr.
