George Whitfie;l,d Chadwick (Born at Lowell on November 13, 1854; living in Boston.) Newspapers of April 15, 1894, announced the fact that a prize of $300 offered by the National Conservatory of Music in New York for the best symphony by an American had been awarded to Mr. Chad- wick. Dvorak was then at the head of this institution. The symphony was performed for the first times on October 19-20, 1894, at Boston, by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Chadwick conducted his work. The programme—Mr. Paur was then the con- ductor of the orchestra—also included Berlioz's "Roman Carnival," overture and ballet music from Rubinstein's opera, "The Demon." Miss Emma Juch sang a recitative and air, "Mine did I once a lover call," from Dvorak's "Spectre Bride," and, with pianoforte accom- paniment, Wagner's "Traume" and cradle song, "Dors entre mes bras." Mr. Krehbiel, of the New York Tribune, came to Boston to hear the symphony, and his article, containing amusing reflections on musical conditions in Boston and an epigrammatic characterization of Mr. Paur, provoked rejoinders, among them an entertaining editorial article in the Boston Transcript. Mr. Chadwick dedicated his symphony to Theodore Thomas. The score was published by Arthur P. Schmidt, of Boston, in 1896. The symphony is scored for these instruments: two flutes, two oboes, two FAVORITE SONGS BY G. W. CHADWICK Sung by TWO FOLK SONGS . .50) II 1.0 Love and Joy, G min.(c-f) ( Mme. Schumann- 2.

For Sale by all Music Dealers 1163 clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, bass tuba, kettledrums, and the usual strings. The following description of the musical contents is based on the analysis written by William Foster Apthorp for the Programme Book of October 19-20, 1894. I. Allegro sostenuto, F major, 3-4. The movement begins with four introductory measures for wind instruments and drums. The four horns sound fortissimo the notes F, E, D. "As the horns stand in the key of F, these notes stand in their parts as C, B-natural, A,—accord- ing to the German nomenclature, C. H. A: the first three letters of Mr. Chadwick's name. This short phrase occurs again in the course of the movement, although it is treated more as an episodic 'motto' than as a theme; it does not play the part in the symphony that the famous F, A-flat, F does in the first movement of Brahms's F-major symphony, but is used more sparingly, somewhat as the 'Te ma reale' is in some of the movements of Sebastian Bach's ' Musikalisches Oper. '" The strings attack the vigorous first motive, which is de- veloped until the wind instrum-cnts have a staccato phrase, the first subsidiary. The first theme returns and is developed. There are harmonies for horns and clarinets, then an episodic song for violon- cellos against a figure for the oboe. This figure is used thematically later on. The second theme enters in A minor for the horns over a pizzicato accompaniment for strings. This theme is carried out at considerable length. In the free fantasia section the episodic phrase and counter figure, as well as the two chief motives, are treated ex- tensively. In the recapitulation section the first theme returns (flute) in B-flat major, in augmentation, and with rhythmic changes. The second theme (flutes and bassoons) retiu^ns in D minor. There is a short coda. II. lyarghetto, B-flat major, 3-8. The movement begins with the chief theme given out in full harmony by the strings. The second theme is of a sturdy nature, and is treated more contrapuntally until there is a passionate cantilena. The movement ends pp, with a short coda on a figiu-e taken from the second theme. III. Vivace non troppo, D minor, 6-8. The movement begins with a saltarello * melody (violins). An obbligato phrase for horn has the- matic significance later. A second theme is composed of alternate phrases for strings and figtures for the wood-wind. The trio, D major, * Saltarello, a dance in 6-8 or 6-4 time, of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries at Rome and in the neigh- borhood of that city. It is a duet dance "of a skipping nature, as its name i.nplies." The man p'ayed a guitar and his partner struck a tambourine during the dance, although some say she held her apron and per- formed graceful evolutions. The number of the couples was not limited. Each couple moved in a semi- circle, and the dance became faster and faster.

  • 100 Percent Americanism in the Concert Hall: the Minneapolis Symphony in the Great War
    100 Percent Americanism in the Concert Hall: The Minneapolis Symphony in the Great War Michael J. Pfeifer In 1918 a Minnesota music critic assessed a Minneapolis Symphony concert warmly, noting that the orchestra’s recent “racial house-cleansing” – a purge of some of the orchestra’s German and Austrian-born musicians – had not com- promised the quality of the ensemble’s playing. While the critic believed that “like gasoline and whiskey, music and war really ought not to have anything in particular to do with each other”, he nonetheless judged it well worthwhile from a “standpoint of musical interest” to hear the orchestra “magnificently” perform the national anthems of the Allied nations that opened the concert. Earlier, at the beginning of the 1918–1919 season, members of the Minneapolis Symphony had been required to sign loyalty oaths to the United States, while a cellist had been compelled to leave the orchestra for a period because he sup- posedly had hung portraits of the Kaiser and his wife over his fireplace (these were actually pictures of “the deceased Austrian emperor Franz Josef and his wife”).1 While the Minneapolis Symphony and its Munich-born founder Emil Oberhoffer (1867–1933) did not encounter the extreme repercussions that led to the arrest, internment, and deportation of Karl Muck (1859–1940) and Ernst Kunwald (1868–1939), respectively the German and Austrian conductors of the Boston Symphony and the Cincinnati Symphony,2 a significant nativist, anti- German, backlash did mark the orchestra’s experience of the latter years of the Great War. The upper Midwestern state of Minnesota was substantially German in nativity and ancestry at the outbreak of the war, which may have mitigated some of the harshly jingoistic reaction that German ­symphonic * I am grateful to Frank Jacob and William H.

    Sound Recording Reviews Wagner: Parsifal (excerpts). Berlin State Opera Chorus and Orchestra (a) Bayreuth Festival Chorus and Orchestra (b), cond. Karl Muck. Opal 837/8 (LP; mono). Prelude (a: December 11, 1927); Act 1-Transformation & Grail Scenes (b: July/ August, 1927); Act 2-Flower Maidens' Scene (b: July/August, 1927); Act 3 (a: with G. Pistor, C. Bronsgeest, L. Hofmann; slightly abridged; October 10-11and13-14, 1928). Karl Muck conducted Parsifal at every Bayreuth Festival from 1901 to 1930. His immediate predecessor was Franz Fischer, the Munich conductor who had alternated with Hermann Levi during the premiere season of 1882 under Wagner's own supervi­ sion. And Muck's retirement, soon after Cosima and Siegfried Wagner died, brought another changing of the guard; Wilhelm Furtwangler came to the Green Hill for the next festival, at which Parsifal was controversially assigned to Arturo Toscanini. It is difficult if not impossible to tell how far Muck's interpretation of Parsifal reflected traditions originating with Wagner himself. Muck's act-by-act timings from 1901 mostly fall within the range defined in 1882 by Levi and Fischer, but Act 1 was decidedly slower-1:56, compared with Levi's 1:47 and Fischer's 1:50. Muck's timing is closer to that of Felix Mottl, who had been a musical assistant in 1882, and of Hans Knappertsbusch in his first and slowest Bayreuth Parsifal. But in later summers Muck speeded up to the more "normal" timings of 1:50 and 1:47, and the extensive recordings he made in 1927-8, now republished by Opal, show that he could be not only "sehr langsam" but also "bewegt," according to the score's requirements.

  • The Boston Symphony Orchestra Seiji Ozawa, Music Director & Conductor Peter Serkin, Piano
    PETER LIEBERSON New World Records 80325 Piano Concerto The Boston Symphony Orchestra Seiji Ozawa, music director & conductor Peter Serkin, piano Peter Lieberson was born in New York City on October 25, 1946; he lives in Newton Center, Massachusetts, and is currently teaching at Harvard. His Piano Concerto is one of twelve works commissioned by the Boston Symphony Orchestra for its centennial in 1981. From the beginning the piano solo part was intended for Peter Serkin, who gave the first performance with Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra on April 21, 1983, in Symphony Hall, Boston. The youngest of the 12 composers commissioned by the Boston Symphony Orchestra for its centennial, Peter Lieberson grew up in a family where music was ubiquitous. Both his parents were important figures in the artistic world. His father, Goddard Lieberson, himself a trained composer, was perhaps best known as the most influential record-company executive in the artistic world. Peter's mother, under the stage name Vera Zorina, was a ballerina with the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo and later with George Balanchine, before she became known as a specialist in spoken narration. Through a job at New York's classical music radio station WNCN, Lieberson came to know Aaron Copland and Virgil Thomson. But the crucial connection came when Copland invited Milton Babbitt to do a program. Until that time the major influence on Lieberson's music was Stravinsky. Now he began to study informally with Babbitt. At Babbitt's suggestion Lieberson chose Columbia when he decided to pursue graduate studies; there he worked with Charles Wuorinen (the third of his three principal teachers would be Donald Martino, with whom he studied at Brandeis University).
