ARSC Journal
A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers. -
Aubrey Brain (1893-1955)
Aubrey Brain (1893-1955) Aubrey Harold Brain was the son of A.E. Brain, Senior, brother of Alfred Brain, Junior, and father of Dennis Brain – all distinguished horn players. Another brother, Arthur, also played horn, but abandoned music to become a police officer. Aubrey’s first instrument was the violin, but he soon switched to horn. He first studied with his father, then with Adela Sutcliffe and Eugene Mieir, and finally with Friedrich Adolph Borsdorf at the Royal College of Music in 1911. He played in the North London Orchestral Society during his College years and was appointed principal horn of the New Symphony Orchestra in 1911. He went on the London Symphony Orchestra's tour of the US under Arthur Nikish in 1912; his father was unable to go on the tour because of his contract with Covent Garden. After returning from the tour, Aubrey joined his father and brother in a memorial concert for the Titanic. Aubrey became principal horn of Sir Thomas Beecham's opera company orchestra in 1913. It was during a tour with this company that he met Marion Beeley, a contralto for whom Sir Edward Elgar wrote "Hail, Immortal Ind!" in his opera The Crown of India. They were married in 1914. Aubrey’s early career was shadowed by the success of his older brother, Alfred, who dominated the scene until he left for the United States in 1922, and of his teacher, Borsdorf, until Borsdorf was forced to resign because of anti-German feeling at the outbreak of World War I in 1914. -
(ABH) and Gesellschaft Für Unternehmensgeschichte (GUG), 27-28 May 2016, Humboldt University Berlin, Germany
Joint Conference Association of Business Historians (ABH) and Gesellschaft für Unternehmensgeschichte (GUG), 27-28 May 2016, Humboldt University Berlin, Germany Disruptive Innovation in the Creative Industries: The adoption of the German horn in Britain 1935-75 David Smith* and Richard Blundel** *Nottingham Trent University, UK and **The Open University, UK Abstract This paper examines the interplay between innovation and entrepreneurial processes amongst competing firms in the creative industries. It does so through a case study of the introduction and diffusion into Britain of a brass musical instrument, the wide bore German horn, over a period of some 40 years in the middle of the twentieth century. The narrative contrasts the strategies followed by two brass instrument manufacturers, one a new entrant the other an incumbent. It shows how the new entrant despite a slow start, small scale and a commitment to traditional artisanal skills, was able to develop the technology of the German horn and establish itself as one of the world’s leading brands of horn, while the incumbent firm despite being the first to innovate steadily lost ground until like many of the other leading horn makers of the 1930s, it eventually exited the industry. Keywords: Disruptive innovation, Creative Industries, Musical Instruments Introduction For much of the 19th and a substantial part of the 20th century, British orchestras had a distinctive sound. This differentiated them from their counterparts in many parts of Europe and the United States. This sound was the product of the instruments they played, most notably in the horn section of the orchestra. In Britain horn players typically utilized instruments modelled on the Raoux horn from France. -

Beata Kornatowska Wspomnienia Głosem Pisane : O Autobiografiach Śpiewaków
Beata Kornatowska Wspomnienia głosem pisane : o autobiografiach śpiewaków Acta Universitatis Lodziensis. Folia Litteraria Polonica 16, 140-154 2012 140 | FOLIA LITTERARIA POLONICA 2 (16) 2012 Beata Kornatowska Wspomnienia głosem pisane. O autobiografiach śpiewaków W literackim eseju Güntera de Bruyna poświęconym autobiografii czytamy: Opowiadający dokonuje pewnego okiełznania tego, co zamierza opowiedzieć, wtłacza to w formę, której wcześniej nie miało; decyduje o początku i zakończeniu, układa szczegóły [...] w wybranych przez siebie związkach, tak że nie są już tylko szczegółami, ale nabierają znaczenia, i określa punkty ciężkości1. Przy lekturze wspomnień znanych śpiewaków trudno oprzeć się wrażeniu, że przyszli na świat po to, żeby śpiewać. Już dobór wspomnień z dzieciństwa ma coś z myślenia magicznego: wydarzenia, sploty okoliczności, spotkania — wszystko to prowadzi do rozwoju kariery muzycznej. Dalsze powtarzalne elementy tych wspomnień to: odkrycie predyspozycji wokalnych i woli podję- cia zawodu śpiewaka, rola nauczycieli śpiewu i mentorów (najczęściej dyrygen- tów), największe sukcesy i zdobywanie kolejnych szczytów — scen kluczowych dla świata muzycznego, pamiętne wpadki, kryzysy wokalne, podszyte rywali- zacją relacje z kolegami, ciągłe podleganie ocenie publiczności, krytyków i dy- rygentów, myśli o konieczności zakończenia kariery, refleksje na temat doboru repertuaru, wykonawstwa i — generalnie — muzyki. W tle pojawiają się rów- nież wydarzenia z historii najnowszej, losy kraju i rodziny, kondycja instytucji muzycznych, uwarunkowania personalne. Te uogólnione na podstawie sporej liczby tekstów z niemieckiego kręgu ję- zykowego2 prawidłowości w organizowaniu wspomnień „głosem pisanych” chciałabym przedstawić na przykładzie wyróżniających się w mojej ocenie ja- kością autobiografii autorstwa ikon powojennej wokalistyki niemieckiej — Christy Ludwig ...und ich wäre so gern Primadonna gewesen.

Over the generations there have been collaborations with musicians of distinction, among them Leonhard Lechner, the Frobergers, Niccolò Jommelli, Johann Rudolf Zumsteeg, Konradin Kreutzer, of Johann Nepomuk Hummel and Carl Maria von Weber. Berlioz praised the orchestra, when he appeared with it as Der Ring des Nibelungen conductor, and in the 1880s Stuttgart was one of the first to stage the complete Ring cycle, conducted by the then (The Ring of the Nibelung) General Music Director Herman Zumpe, who had assisted Wagner at the first Bayreuth Festival. -

Luna’s original composition, Stamping Grounds, was inspired by a time when he flew as an unaccompanied seven-year-old minor to and from the east coast to the west coast, between his mother and father, who lived on opposite shores. Soon after the September 11th attack on the USA, the composer developed a fear of flying. But, over time, he overcame this fear. In Stamping Grounds, Luna’s experience is represented by several layers that come in and out of the foreground. Luna explains that “the ones that remain consistent are representative of the part of the experience at UCLA where I am grounded in reality; namely, the autopilot sense when walking in deep thought. The other layers that come in and out are the different memories of my childhood—from the good experiences with my family, to remembering the impact 9-11 had on me and this country.” The symmetrical form of the piece represents the composer’s thought process, with each end representing his home on each side of the country - his “stamping grounds.” Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture was written in 1807 for a German stage play by Heinrich von Collin. -
