Just two days after the final performance of the season, an announcement Was made which was hailed with joy by many a music lover. William Gericke had been offered and had accepted the conductorship of the Orchestra for next season ! . It was then that it became apparent that notwithstanding the successes and triumphs of his talented predecessors and successors the Boston Symphony Orchestra was still Mr. Gericke's Orchestra. He made it," wrote the Transcript critic, and it properly belongs to him, as his own work . and to this his own Orchestra, we welcome Gericke back with heartiest greetings and fullest confidence. He will be in his right place once more next October." // you contemplate a charitable legacy in your will it is often desirable to put the property in Trust.

No. 3, Salomon No. 10) Joseph Haydn (Born at Rohran, Lower Austria, March 31, 1732; died at Vienna. May 31, 1809) This symphony, the tenth of the twelve written by Haydn for Salomon's concerts in London, was composed at Vienna in 1793, between the tirst and the second of Haydn's visits to England. It was performed at London in 1794 or 1795. The first performance in Boston was by the Harvard Musical Association on February 1, 1872, Carl Zerrahn conductor; the first by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Wilhelm Gericke conductor, was on January 30, 188G; Dr. Koussevitzky conducted a performance on October 22, 192G. I. A slow introduction leads to the main movement, Vivace assai, 4-4. The first lively little theme is given to the first violins, accompanied by the other strings. This theme is repeated by the full orchestra. The second theme is for first violins and clarinet. II. Adagio, G major, 3-4. The movement is developed mainly on two themes—one, cantabile, for first violins, the other for first violins, oboe, and bassoon. III. Allegretto, E-flat major, 3-4. A minuet in the traditional form. High Grade Bonds For Safety of Principal and Income Chase Harris Forbes Corporation 24 Federal Street, Boston 970 — — — — : IV. Vivace. E-flat major, 2-4, in rondo form. * * * . One day when Haydn was at work in his house, a man appeared and said : "I am Salomon from London, and came to fetch you with me. We will agree on the job tomorrow." Haydn was amused by the use of the word "job." The contract for one season was as follows Haydn should receive £300 for six symphonies and £200 for the copyright ; £300 for an opera written for the manager Gallini ; £200 for twenty new compositions to be produced in as many concerts under Haydn's direction; £200 as guarantee for a benefit concert. Salomon deposited live thousand gulden with the bankers, Fries & Company, as a pledge of good faith. Haydn had five hundred gulden ready for traveling expenses, and he borrowed four hundred and fifty more from his prince, Anton Esterhazy. This Johann Peter Salomon was born at Bonn in 1745. His family lived in the house in which Beethoven was born. When he was only thirteen he was a paid member of the Elector Clement August's orchestra. He travelled as a virtuoso, settled in Berlin as a concert- master to Prince Heinrich of Prussia, and worked valiantly for Haydn and his music against the opposition of Quanz, Graun, Kirn- berger, who looked upon Haydn as a revolutionary. Prince Heinrich CHORAL WORKS BY WALTER HOWE Just Issued ODE TO YOUTH For Mixed Chorus and Orchestra Scheduled for performance at Chautauqua, Summer 1933, by chorus of 400 "Mr. Howe has a good polyphonic sense, a distinct melodic command and a ruggedness in his material that is thrice welcome these chaotic days when so much that comes to us is spineless and effete. The text is a good one, in tune with the times. Few brief choral works that have come our way interest as much as this one." Musical America. "There are many brilliant passages and some of unusual melodic beauty and pleasing effect. The work should prove of interest to the many choral organizations throughout the country." Musical Leader. Vocal score, 75 cents net MAGNIFICAT For choir and organ or orchestra Performed at the Worcester Festival, 1932, and at Chautauqua "Melodically beautiful, Mr. Howe has developed the theme to a tremendous climax, stirring the audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm and in response to the deafening applause he was called from the organ bench to acknowledge the ovation." Worcester Telegram. Price 20 cents net BENEDICTUS ES, DOMINE "A notable addition to the growing list of settings of this canticle. Har- monic effects are as ingenious as they are effective." American Organist. Price 15 cents net The ARTHUR P. SCHMIDT CO. 120 Boykton St. 971 gave up his orchestra; and Salomon, after a short but triumphant visit to Paris, settled in London in 1781. There he prospered as player, manager, leader, until in 1815, on November 25, he died in his own house, as the result of a fall from his horse* in August of that year. He was buried in the cloister of Westminster Abbey. William Gardiner described him as "a finished performer ; his style was not bold enough for the orchestra, but it was exquisite in a quartet. He was also a scholar and a gentleman, no man having been admitted more into the society of kings and princes for his companionable qualities. Mr. Salomon's violin was the cele- brated one that belonged to Corelli, with his name elegantly em- bossed in large capital letters on the ribs." Gardiner, by the way, in 1804 forwarded to Haydn through Salomon, as a return for the "many hours of delight" afforded him by Haydn's compositions, "six pairs of cotton stockings, in which is worked that immortal air, 'God preserve the Emperor Francis,' with a few other quotations." Among these other quotations were "My mother bids me bind my hair" and "the bass solo of 'The Leviathan.' " The stockings were *Beethoven had written a long letter to him on June 1 of that year with refer- ence to the publication of some of his works in England. Hearing of his death he wrote to Ferdinand Ries, expressing his grief, "as he was a noble man whom I re- member from my childhood."

In the last years Salomon was ac- cused of avarice, that "good, old-gentlemanly vice," but during the greater part of his life he was generous to extravagance. The first of the Salomon-Haydn concerts was given March 11, 1791, at the Hanover Square Rooms.

    GUIDE TO THE ERNEST BRADBURY ARCHIVE 1961 "Sir John has the right age and temperament. He can mirror the sentient loveliness o f this rare music, yet keep it free from cloying sentiment; he traces its inner lines as delicately as nature traces veins on a leaf and so shows the thin but unifying forces of Delius’ art - for Delius is not really a composer of the blurred image." Thus wrote Ernest Bradbury of Delius’ On Hearing the First Cuckoo., vindicating, if such be needed, the decision to make an archive of these writings, «,, Time has edged far enough forward now for us to catch our breath reading that he heard Hindemith and Stravinsky conducting "in the flesh" which in time will doubtless seem more awesome still..^arguments about not spending allocated local authority funds on music and over-reliance on the familiar might have been written last night. <• Once again I have not, regrettably, been able to credit (though my husband usually did) the invaluable work of producers and designers.

  • Shakespeare Requiem' Receives Its First Performance, by PATRIC STANDFORD, YORKSHIRE POST
    Judith Bingham's 'Shakespeare Requiem' receives its first performance, by PATRIC STANDFORD, YORKSHIRE POST The long awaited première of Judith Bingham's Shakespeare Requiem took place in Leeds Town Hall, UK, on 29 November 2008. The opening of the newly built town hall in 1858 was celebrated with the formation of a grand choral society -- the Leeds Festival Chorus -- and its first musical director, William Sterndale Bennett, initiated a tradition of first performances in the autumn of that year by directing the first performance of his own cantata The May Queen. The tradition of bringing new works to Leeds has remained with the Festival Chorus throughout its century and a half lifetime. A succession of distinguished directors maintained the tradition by commissioning new choral works, and the chorus have brought to life a fine inventory of great choral premiers including Sullivan's Golden Legend and Dvorák's St Ludmilla in 1886 and Elgar's Caractacus in 1898 through to Walton's Belshazzar's Feast, the memorable commission of 1931, and Michael Berkeley's The Red Macula of 1989. For this year's 150th Anniversary celebration, Judith Bingham could hardly be a more ideal choice. A student of both composition and singing in her time at London's Royal Academy of Music, she joined the BBC Singers in 1983 and spent twelve years as a full time member, becoming closely involved from the inside in the many challenges of both new and old music that such a renowned professional group of singers would undertake on a weekly basis. As may be expected, there is a large amount of choral music in her considerable output -- her catalogue has recently been taken up by Peters Edition, London -- and yet the new work for Leeds is her largest choral and orchestral undertaking to date.
