AN ANNOTATED CATALOGUE OF THE MUSIC MANUSCRIPTS IN THE FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY, WASHINGTON, D.C. (HARDBACK) Pendragon Press, United States, 2005. Hardback. Condition: New. Language: English . Brand New Book. One third of the materials covered in this book were purchased by Henry Clay Folger (1857-1930), the American industrialist and eventual Chairman of the New York Company Standard Oil. The remaining two thirds were collected following his death. Together with his wife Emily Jordan Folger (1858-1936), they assembled one of the most important private libraries in the US. Their invaluable collection of books and manuscripts is housed in the Folger Shakespeare Library, and since the library s opening in April 1932, many further materials have been acquired. This book covers all the known music manuscript materials in the library, occupying 168 dedicated entries. These sources range from fragmentary items to ones of considerable importance, and date from the ninth to the twentieth centuries. The great bulk of the music manuscripts have hitherto escaped examination, and many compositions are not recorded in relevant work lists in New Grove II. The music includes stage works, secular and sacred vocal pieces as well as instrumental compositions. There are autographs by well-known composers and musicians such as Hector Berlioz, Sir Henry Rowley Bishop, Charles Dibdin, John Liptrot Hatton, Felix Mendelssohn, Roger Quilter, Anton Rubinstein, Clara Schumann, Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan and Niccolo Antonio Zingarelli. Selected sources with music by Henry Purcell have been familiar to scholars for some decades, though the library owns further manuscripts of his music that have previously been overlooked. Other leading British composers represented include Thomas Augustine Arne, William Byrd, George Frideric Handel, William Hayes, King Henry VIII and William Lawes. Continental composers feature among the library s sources, such as Gregor Aichinger, Christian Erbach, Charles-Francois Gounod, Francisco Guerrero, Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Clemens non Papa, Gioachino Antonio Rossini, Giuseppe Verdi and Tomas Luis de...

  • Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester R M Johnson Phd 2020
    Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester R M Johnson PhD 2020 Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester RACHEL MARGARET JOHNSON A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Awarded for a Collaborative Programme of Research at the Royal Northern College of Music by Manchester Metropolitan University 2020 Abstract My dissertation demonstrates how a new and distinctive musical culture developed in the industrialising society of early Victorian Manchester. It challenges a number of existing narratives relating to the history of music in nineteenth-century Britain, and has implications for the way we understand the place of music in other industrial societies and cities. The project is located at the nexus between musicology, cultural history and social history, and draws upon ideas current in urban studies, ethnomusicology and anthropology. Contrary to the oft-repeated claim that it was Charles Hallé who ‘brought music to Manchester’ when he arrived in 1848, my archival research reveals a vast quantity and variety of music-making and consumption in Manchester in the 1830s and 1840s. The interconnectedness of the many strands of this musical culture is inescapable, and it results in my adoption of ‘networks’ as an organising principle. Tracing how the networks were formed, developed and intertwined reveals just how embedded music was in the region’s social and civic life. Ultimately, music emerges as an agent of particular power in the negotiation and transformation of the concerns inherent within the new industrial city. The dissertation is structured as a series of interconnected case studies, exploring areas as diverse as the music profession, glee and catch clubs, the Hargreaves Choral Society’s programme notes, Mechanics’ Institutions and the early Victorian public music lecture.

  • 2003 University of Leeds
    4th Biennial International Conference on Music in 19th-Century Britain University of Leeds 24-27 July 2003 CONFERENCE PROGRAMME PROGRAMME COMMITTEE: Professor Julian Rushton Dr Peter Holman Dr Rachel Cowgill Dr Christina Bashford Dr Peter Horton Dr Bennett Zon CONFERENCE CHAIR: Dr Rachel Cowgill CONFERENCE ADMINISTRATOR: Susan Lacey STUDENT HELPERS: Clare Brown Stephanie Burgis Clare Lyon Anne Royle We would like to express our sincere thanks to the following organisations for their support of this conference: The British Academy, The Music & Letters Trust, Ashgate Publishing, and World of Brass WELCOME On behalf of the School of Music, I would like to warmly welcome delegates to the University of Leeds for what I’m sure will be a very stimulating and wide- ranging conference. Leeds was among the most significant musical centres in Britain in the nineteenth century, and the foundation of the Leeds Musical Festival in 1858 to celebrate the opening of the Town Hall by Queen Victoria cemented its reputation as a place that embraced both the established and the new. The University’s continuing commitment to music is manifested in our new School of Music building, completed in December 2002, which houses the conference. This integrates a nineteenth-century Presbyterian Church and manse (1879) and a purpose-built structure for the delivery of music education in the twenty-first century. A second phase of building work, which will begin later this summer, will see the restoration and refurbishment of the elegant Clothworkers’ Centenary Concert Hall. I hope that you have a fruitful and enjoyable time during your stay in Leeds, and look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

  • Beggar's Opera Gennem 250 År - Fra John Gay Til Alan Ayckbourn
    Beggar's Opera gennem 250 år - fra John Gay til Alan Ayckbourn NIELS KRABBE l. Indledning Der er stofområder inden for kunst og kultur, som bliver taget op igen og igen. Myter, historier, temaer og personer dukker op med visse mellemrum - som­ metider bevidstløst reproduceret, sommetider genvurderet og omfortolket, men altid med en eller anden bestemt, uforanderlig kerne, som netop legitime­ rer og pointerer genbruget. Undertiden har det oprindelige stof rod i virkelig­ heden, undertiden er det opstået i en enkelt kunstners hoved. I begge tilfælde har stoffet været en udfordring og inspiration for kommende generationer. Hamlet skikkelsen, Faust æventyret eller Orfeus myten er eksempler. Ved at forfølge et sådant tema gennem årtier og århundreder kan vi få noget at vide om temaets forskellige sider og dets bærekraft, men vi kan samtidig få noget at vide om historiens gang. Temaet selv er muligvis bundet til en bestemt tid, men dets »liv« op gennem historien kan give et - omend beskedent - bidrag til en karakteristik af skiftende tider. Det gælder for »temaer« som de her anførte, og det gælder for kunstværker. De af dem, der er noget ved, har en virkning på eftertidens forbrugere, ligesom eftertiden - sådan i bred forstand - er medbe­ stemmende for, hvordan de forbruges. Virkningshistorie og receptionshistorie kan ikke skilles ad. Ingen kan hævde, at det stof og de problemer, der præsenteres i John Gay's Beggar's Opera, umiddelbart har den samme bærekraft og dybde, som de eksempler, der er nævnt ovenfor. Så meget desto mere bemærkelsesværdigt er det, at en teaterforestilling opført 1728 i London, som for sin ophavsmand havde karakter af en henkastet spøg, har kunnet give stof til bearbejdelser gennem 250 år - bearbejdelser, som i langt de fleste tilfælde har formået at fastholde og aktualisere det samfundskritiske potentiale, der ligger i John Gay's succesforestilling .

  • The Revival of Manx Traditional Music
    The Revival of Manx Traditional Music: From the 1970s to the Present Day Chloë Woolley PhD University of Edinburgh 2003 STATEMENT OF AUTHORSHIP I hereby declare that I am the composer of this thesis and that the work is entirely my own. ................................................................ September 30th 2003 ii The Revival of Manx Traditional Music: From the 1970s to the Present Day ABSTRACT This thesis examines the revival and subsequent development of traditional music in the Isle of Man from the 1970s until the present day. Together with dance and the Gaelic language, the revival of Manx traditional music has contributed to the reevaluation of a Manx identity based upon traditional values and symbolism. Drawing on individual interviews, a comprehensive survey and primary source material, this thesis investigates the motivations, influences and ideology behind the revival. Issues of nationalism, individual and communal identities, Celticism, authenticity and the formation of cultural boundaries are all addressed in an analysis of the revivalist ideology, which has consequently dictated the standard repertoire and musical style of today. The structure of the study is based upon a theoretical model of musical revivalism designed by Tamara E. Livingston (1999:69): 1. an individual or small group of “core revivalists” 2. revival informants and/or original sources (e.g. historical sound recordings) 3. a revivalist ideology and discourse 4. a group of followers which form the basis of a revivalist community 5. revivalist activities (organizations, festivals, competitions) 6. non-profit and/or commercial enterprises catering to the revivalist market. Livingston’s model has been employed to ascertain whether the Manx music movement corresponds with the modern conception of the term ‘revival’ and therefore with the typical characteristics as documented in other cases.

CHRISTOPHER WILSON A MEMOIR (Reprinted, by kind permission of the Editor, from The Musical Times of April i, 1919) When Christopher Wilson published his master-song, " Come away, Death," in 1901, The Times said of it that it was " all that such a song should be—fantastic, yet deeply pathetic, and as musicianly as a work by a Mendelssohn scholar ought to be." The words italicised remain true of all that this gifted composer left us ; and the pity of it is that for various reasons, some of which will appear in the present notice, so little of his work has been printed.
