    THE GILBERT AND SULLIVAN OPERETTAS ON 78s: COMPLETE SETS AND ABRIDGEMENTS, 1906. 1950 John W. N. Francis In 1877 Richard D'Oyly Carte commissioned Gilbert and Sullivan to write The Sorcerer, and organized an ensemble of singer-actors to perform the new piece under the author's artistic direction. Also in 1877, of course, Charles Cros and Thomas Edison invented sound recording. More than a century later both the music and the medium continue to flourish, and indeed they have come together often and success­ fully--notably in the many complete versions by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, which have set standards of style and ensemble for generations of devotees and amateur performers. This discography documents the complete recordings of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas made at 78 rpm, not only by the D'Oyly Carte company or under its aegis, but also by others with lesser claims to authenticity. Also included are substantial abridgements and sets of excerpts--groups of five or more sides made at essentially the same time and place and with the same performers, whether or not they were ever issued collectively or with consecutive numbering. The following comments set the recordings in the context of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company's history. THE ACOUSTIC RECORDINGS When Richard D'Oyly Carte died in 1901, his widow Helen assumed manage­ ment of the businesses he had built, including the Savoy Theatre in London and the opera company, which was then on tour. In 1906 she brought the troupe back to the Savoy for a repertory season of Gilbert and Sullivan, its very first.

Dr. SERGE KOUSSEVITZKY, Conductor FIFTY-FIRST SEASON, 1931-1932 WITH HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE NOTES BY PHILIP HALE COPYRIGHT, 1932, BY BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, INC. 757 THE TRUMPET 1 HE clarion of the Eleventh Century was the im- mediate predecessor of the trumpet. The early in- strument, also called claro y and clarino, was a short straight tube of brass with one end carrying a cup- shaped mouthpiece and the other widening out into a bell. In the Eighteenth Century, Meyer of Hamburg made what has been called the first improvement in the trumpet — he invented a practical mouthpiece. Then occured a series of revolutionary changes. In 1780 Wogel added " tubes"; Wiedenger, court- trumpeter in Vienna, added " stops" in 1801; next came the "keys," with Sattler of Leipzig turning out the first trumpets equipped with them; and finally Striegel, a German orchestra player, introduced cer- tain refinements in bore and tubing. The trumpet is truly a stately and heraldic instru- ment. It is the portrayer of tournaments and pro- cessions, of pageants with a martial and romantic tinge. Its great agility makes it admirably suited to rapid figures, arpeggios, and to repetitions. In addi- tion to its strident calls, it can produce effects either fantastic or of extreme sweetness. Berlioz wrote: "The quality of the trumpet tone is noble and brilliant . It lends itself to the expression of all energetic and lofty and grand sentiments and to the majority of tragic accents." * * * * 1 HERE are many ways in which the services of Old Colony Trust Company as Executor and Trustee can help you obtain a definite objective.

  • ROBYN CATHCART: M.A. CANDIDATE in MUSICOLOGY the UNIVERSITY of VICTORIA, VICTORIA BC -The Singing School of Manuel Garcia
    ROBYNCATHCART: M.A. CANDIDATEIN MUSICOLOGY THEUNIVERSITY OF VICTORIA, VICTORIA BC -The Singing School of Manuel Garcia IZ- Supervisor: Dr. Gordana Lazarevich December 12,2003 University of Victoria PO Box 1700 STN CSC Victoria, BC V8W 2Y2 Canada Supervisor: Dr. Gordana Lazarevich A~STRACT Manuel Garcia 11 (1805-1906) is perhaps the greatest teacher of voice in history, and his approach, stated in A Complete Treatise on the Art of Singing, Parts One (1841) and Two (1847), became one of the principal methods of vocal instruction during his time. By tracing Garcia 11's methodology, based on the Italian Schools of Singing and be1 canto opera, it will become clear that his type of voice building holds many of the keys needed to unlock the voices of singers today. Analysis of Garcia II's vocal treatises, combined with first hand research conducted with faculty throughout three prominent Canadian university voice programs, will further substantiate the claim that Garcia 11 is a pivotal figure within the landscape of vocal pedagogy, also putting to rest several misconceptions (i.e. vocal onset and the coup de la glotte, and vocal registers) concerning his teachings. Respected internationally for his contributions to the worlds of classical voice and opera, performance practice, voice science, and pedagogy during his lifetime, Garcia II's theories on vocal production remain intact in current vocal pedagogy, despite shifts in the paradigms of musical, cultural, social and vocal aesthetics.

    HISTORICAL REISSUES A "collectors' series" of historical recordings, wherever it is issued and under whatever auspices, is in effect an extension of the record club concept. Generally speaking record collectors are not misers. Even those whose chief interest is in labels know that a record was made to sound, and most of us like to share our treasures. This is a case where you can eat your cake and have it. The Rubini label thus takes us into some of the great British collections, which is to say some of the finest in the world. Checking the source credits against the labels and jackets it is not too difficult to guess that the code letters SJG and GV stand for Syd J. Gray and the joint collection of George Stuart and Vi vi an Liff. Other compilers are represented in the CC ("Collectors' Choice") series. If the overall quality of these transfers is un­ usually good considering the rarity of the originals, one may safely give credit to these collectors, first in their selection of choice materials in the best copies to be found, then in maintaining a high standard of copying. Of course there is some unevenness. The list has been growing for several years and some lessons have obviously been learned. Pitching old records involves a certain amount of guesswork; for the most part I think the correct answers have been found. Where they are definitely wrong - notably in the Chaliapin program - I believe the dubbing was done early in the game. Certain of the repro­ ductions emerge with a hum and in the batch of 18 releases sent to me there were a couple of stylus jumps.
