George Whitefield Chadwick List of Works George Whitefield Chadwick 13 November 1854 - 4 April 1931 List of Works Very important in cataloguing Chadwick's works was and is Steven Ledbetter. He did important biographical surveys and numbered Chadwick's works in chronological and sort order. Some works have opus numbers put in brackets after the name. These are the numbers given either by Chadwick or the publishers. It is hard to find any more information about Chadwick, so he and his works still leave me with a lot of questions, but nonetheless, I think he deserves a little space here. Sebastiaan Geijtenbeek I have tried to be exact and correct, but if you have the feeling that I missed something please tell me. Piano works Dedicated to Dedication: Mrs. E. M.

Stuttgart Philharmonic, Georg Schmöhe. CPO 999392-2. Tr 4- 6. 25:16 The 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall is on November 9th, 2009. Inspired by this historic event, the American composer Gloria Coates (who has lived in Germany for years) dedicated her seventh symphony “to those who brought down the Wall in PEACE.” Salomon Jadassohn was an eminent composer, pianist, conductor, and teacher in Germany. Although he died in 1902, his works were banned by anti-Semitic followers of Wagner in the 1930s. Fortunately, his music (ironically influenced by Richard Wagner) is beginning to be heard once again. Jadassohn attended the Leipzig Conservatory shortly after its founding by Felix Mendelssohn and eventually taught piano and composition there. He had studied piano with Ignaz Moscheles and Franz Liszt, and among his influences in composition were Liszt and Wagner. He was a well-respected teacher who produced manuals on harmony, counterpoint, and orchestration that were used for years. Grieg, Delius, and one of last month’s composers on Discoveries, George Chadwick, all studied with him. His many works, including this inventive second concerto, are wonderful examples of the Romantic idiom.

  • Toccata Classics TOCC 0107 Notes
    TOCCATA CLASSICS Salomon JADASSOHN Piano Trios No. 1 in F major, Op. 16 No. 2 in E major, Op. 20 No. 3 in C minor, Op. 59 Syrius Trio FIRST RECORDINGS SALOMON JADASSOHN: Piano Trios Nos. 1–3 by Malcolm MacDonald Salomon Jadassohn’s name is moderately familiar to musicologists, but only because he was an important teacher, many of whose students went on to make a considerable reputation for themselves: the roll-call includes Albéniz, Alfano, Bortkiewicz, Busoni, Chadwick, Čiurlionis, Delius, Fibich, Grieg, Kajanus, Karg-Elert, Reznicek, Georg Schumann, Sinding and Weingartner. Until recently Jadassohn’s own music has been virtually ignored, but it is beginning to emerge from the shadows. "e three piano trios on this disc are not among the most important essays in the genre to emerge from nineteenth-century Germany, but they are full of highly enjoyable music, written to give pleasure, while being economically constructed with considerable skill and ingenuity. Jadassohn was born into a Jewish family in Breslau, the capital of the Prussian province of Silesia (now Wrocław in Poland), on 13 August 1831 and enrolled in the Leipzig Conservatorium in 1848, where his composition teachers were Moritz Hauptmann, Ernst Richter and Julius Rietz. He studied piano, moreover, with Beethoven’s friend and protégé Ignaz Moscheles. From 1849 to 1851, by contrast, and to the disquiet of some of his teachers, Jadassohn also became a private pupil of Franz Liszt in Weimar. He spent most of his subsequent career teaching in Leipzig. As a Jew, he was unable to apply for any of the Leipzig church-music posts that were open to other graduates from the Conservatory; instead, he worked for a synagogue and supported himself otherwise mainly as a teacher of piano.

He worked all over Europe as a touring pianist before returning to Italy where he eventually settled in San Remo. He held several academic positions: first as a teacher of composition and then director at the Liceo Musicale, Bologna, then as director of the Liceo Musicale (later Conservatory) of Turin and professor of operatic studies at the Conservatorio di San Cecilia, Rome. As a composer, he speacialized in opera but also produced ballets, orchestral, chamber, instrumental and vocal works. He is best known for having completed Puccini’s "Turandot."

His compositions are conceived within the frameworks of Philippine and Southeast Asian artistic traditions and feature western and non- western elements, including Philippine indigenous instruments, Javanese gamelan, and the occasional use of western instruments such as the piano. Receiving part of his education in the United States and Germany (M.M from Indiana University, Ph. D. from SUNY Buffalo, studies in atonality and serialism in Darmstadt), his compositional style developed towards the avant-garde and the use of extended techniques. Upon his return to the Philippines, however, he experienced a profound personal and artistic conflict as he recognized the disparity between his contemporary western artistic values and those of postcolonial Southeast Asia. Seeking a spiritual reorientation, he immersed himself in the musics and cultures of Asia, doing fieldwork all over the Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia, resulting in an enormous body of work.

  • Revising Perspectives on Nineteenth-Century Jewish Composers: a Case Study Comparison of Ignaz Brüll and Salomon Jadassohn
    Revising Perspectives on Nineteenth-Century Jewish Composers: A Case Study Comparison of Ignaz Brüll and Salomon Jadassohn by Adana Whitter B.A., Universit y of British Columbia, 2009 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) March 2013 © Adana Whitter, 2013 i Abstract The influence of anti-Semitism on the lives and careers of Jewish musicians within the social climate of nineteenth-century Europe is well known. Pamela Potter, Sander Gilman, Philip Bohlman, and K. M. Knittel have thoroughly explored the anti-Semitic treatment of Jewish composers during this period. Definitions of the experience of Jewish composers have been crystallized on the basis of prominent cases, such as Gustav Mahler or Alexander Zemlinsky, who were actively discussed in the press or other publications. The goal of this study is to examine whether the general view of anti-Semitism, as shown in those studies, applies to other Jewish composers. To this aim, this thesis will introduce two lesser known Jewish composers, Ignaz Brüll (1846-1907) and Salomon Jadassohn (1831-1902) as case studies, consider closely their particular situations at the end of the nineteenth century, and assess their positions vis-à-vis the general views of how musician Jews were treated in these societies. Chapter One outlines the historical and political context in Germany and Austria, where these two composers resided, in order to understand where they fit into that context. Chapter Two focuses on Jewishness in music, the difficulties involved in defining Jewish music, along with the contributions of other Jewish composers to the wider European culture, and makes clear the important part anti- Semitism played in the process of identification during this period.

  • Sullivan-Journal Nr. 10 (Dezember 2013)
    Sullivan-Journal Nr. 10 (Dezember 2013) Diese Ausgabe des Sullivan-Journals greift Themen auf, die im Mai nächsten Jahres mit dem Folgeband von SullivanPerspektiven weiter vertieft werden. Sullivans Erfahrungen in Leipzig spielen auch in dem erneut von Albert Gier, Meinhard Saremba und Benedict Taylor herausge- gebenen Buch SullivanPerspektiven II – Arthur Sullivans Bühnenwerke, Oratorien, Schau- spielmusik und Lieder eine Rolle, und zwar in einem Beitrag über die Einflüsse der deutschen Oper auf Sullivans Wirken in Großbritannien. Die Hintergrundinformationen zu der Kantate The Martyr of Antioch in diesem Journal bieten eine wesentliche Grundlage für die musikali- schen und literarischen Analysen dieses Werks in dem geplanten Buch. Und mit dem Beitrag von Klaus Aringer und Martin Haselböck ergänzen wir Roger Norringtons Essay aus dem ers- ten Band von SullivanPerspektiven über Sullivans Klangwelt. Die Hinweise zum Orchester in Weimar – das nicht allzu weit von Sullivans Studienort Leipzig entfernt liegt – und zur Instru- mentalentwicklung im 19. Jahrhundert tragen zu einem weiter reichenden Verständnis von Sul- livans musikalischen Erfahrungen bei. Darüber hinaus berichten wir über einen sensationellen Fund von Sullivan-Texten, die Jahr- zehnte lang der Aufmerksamkeit entgangen waren. Unser besonderer Dank für die Unterstützung bei der Recherche geht vor allem an die Kurato- rin Frances Barulich der Morgan Library in New York (Mary Flagler Cary Curator of Music Manuscripts and Printed Music, The Morgan Library & Museum), sowie an die

  • Marianne Betz Amerikanische Studierende Am Leipziger
    Marianne Betz 0 Amerikanische Studierende am Leipziger Konservatorium: zum Bei- spiel George W. Chadwick Das 1843 durch Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy gegründete Leipziger „Conservatorium für Musik" war schon bald ein international renommiertes Institut. Bereits 1868, bei der Feier des 25-jährigen Bestehens, kam fast ein Drittel der nun insgesamt 1420 Stu- dierenden aus dem Ausland, 1913 waren es weit über 5000. 1 Die grösste Gruppe kam aus den USA:2 Zwischen 1843 und 1913 waren 1436 amerikanische Studierende im- matrikuliert. George Whitefield Chadwick (1854-1931) studierte von 1877 bis 1879 in Leipzig. 1854 in Massachusetts als Sohn englischer Einwanderer geboren, wuchs er in einer Familie auf, in der vor allem geistliche Musik eine grosse Rolle spielte. 1871 begann er bei seinem Vater im Versicherungsgeschäft zu arbeiten, gleichzeitig aber auch in Boston Orgel-, Klavier- und Theorieunterricht zu nehmen. Gegen den Willen des Vaters, der ihn zur Strafe enterbte, gab er 1876 die Versicherungslaufbahn auf und übernahm die durch einen Zufall für eine begrenzte Zeit freigewordene Direktoren- stelle am Music Department des Olivet College (Olivet/Michigan). Das merkwürdige Engagement ermöglichte es Chadwick, die von ihm geplante Reise zum Studium in Deutschland zu finanzieren, eine Reise, die er 1877 antrat. In Leipzig lehrten Salomon Jadassohn (1831-1902), ein Hauptmann-Schüler, der auch bei Liszt in Weimar studiert hatte, und Carl Reinecke (1824-1910), Gewand- haus-Dirigent und Hochschulprofessor, Vertreter der sogenannten „Leipziger Schule". Die deutsche Art der Ausbildung stiess durchaus nicht nur auf Zustimmung, was u. a. die Erinnerungen von Chadwicks englischer Kommilitonin, der späteren Komponistin ,,Dame Ethel Smyth" zeigen. Den Unterricht bei Reinecke schildert sie als „Farce", voller Gleichgültigkeit gegenüber den Aufgaben der Studenten.
