  • Musical Landmarks in New York
    MUSICAL LANDMARKS IN NEW YORK By CESAR SAERCHINGER HE great war has stopped, or at least interrupted, the annual exodus of American music students and pilgrims to the shrines T of the muse. What years of agitation on the part of America- first boosters—agitation to keep our students at home and to earn recognition for our great cities as real centers of musical culture—have not succeeded in doing, this world catastrophe has brought about at a stroke, giving an extreme illustration of the proverb concerning the ill wind. Thus New York, for in- stance, has become a great musical center—one might even say the musical center of the world—for a majority of the world's greatest artists and teachers. Even a goodly proportion of its most eminent composers are gathered within its confines. Amer- ica as a whole has correspondingly advanced in rank among musical nations. Never before has native art received such serious attention. Our opera houses produce works by Americans as a matter of course; our concert artists find it popular to in- clude American compositions on their programs; our publishing houses publish new works by Americans as well as by foreigners who before the war would not have thought of choosing an Amer- ican publisher. In a word, America has taken the lead in mu- sical activity. What, then, is lacking? That we are going to retain this supremacy now that peace has come is not likely. But may we not look forward at least to taking our place beside the other great nations of the world, instead of relapsing into the status of a colony paying tribute to the mother country? Can not New York and Boston and Chicago become capitals in the empire of art instead of mere outposts? I am afraid that many of our students and musicians, for four years compelled to "make the best of it" in New York, are already looking eastward, preparing to set sail for Europe, in search of knowledge, inspiration and— atmosphere.

  • Jaime Nunó After the Mexican National Anthem 105 Was His Notice in Dwight's Journal of Music, Xxiil/21(January9
    Jaime Nunó after the Mexican National Anthem ENCYCLOPEDJAS ANO OTHER reference works have up to now shabbily neglected Jaime Nunó-especially after his composing of the Mexican national anthem premiered September 15, 1854. In Música y músicos de Latinoamérica (México: Editorial Atlante, S.A., 1947), II, 690, Otto Mayor-Serra compressed his whole career into a scant 33 words but even so got his place of death wrong. Diccionario de la música Labor despite being edited by Nunó's fellow Catalonians Joaquín Pena and Higinio Anglés (Barcelona: Editorial Labor, 1954), did no more than baldly copy Mayer-Serra. Diccionario enciclopédico U. T.E.H.A. (México: Unión Tipográfica Editorial Hispano Americana), VII, 1121, dismissed Nunó with a curt article, giving no details whatsoever conceming his lengthy and illustrious career in the United States. Grove 's Dictionary of Music and Musicians American Supplement. edited by Waldo Selden Pratt and Charles N. Boyd (New York: Macmillan, 1920), 313, covered Nunó's life at better length (224 words) but again gave the wrong place for Nunó's death. Also, the American Supplement failed to mention his visit to Mexico in 1901 (he left Buffalo September 9, returned November 21, 1901). This one sentence summed up the last tour decades of Nunó's lite: "After 1870 (recte 1869J, he lived at Buffalo, teaching, singing and conducting various societies, serving as organist at dif­ ferent churches there and in Rochester, and composing about 50 church-works." Frederick H. Martens's article in the Dictionary oj American Biography (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1934), XIII, 594-595, cited 1878 through 1882 as the years during which Nunó was organist and choirmaster of St.

Guiding questions are included to suggest connections to other subject areas, encourage higher-order thinking, and promote a broader understanding of the opera and its potential significance to other areas of learning. Guided Listening The Guided Listening section highlights key musical moments from the opera and provides areas of focus for listening to each musical excerpt.

  • Bottesini Enjoyed a Globe-Trotting Career As “The Paganini of the Double Bass” but Was Also an Accomplished and Respected Conductor in Europe
    NAXOS NAXOS Giovanni Bottesini enjoyed a globe-trotting career as “the Paganini of the double bass” but was also an accomplished and respected conductor in Europe. When conducting operas Bottesini would often perform fantasies on the evening’s entertainment during the intermission. Two such fantasies, ‘Lucia di Lammermoor’ and ‘Beatrice di Tenda’, are virtuosic tours de force in which the complex double bass figurations mimic the coloratura vocal writing of the day. In keeping with this vocal 8.570399 BOTTESINI: style, this recording also includes the song Une bouche aimée with double bass obbligato, most likely BOTTESINI: performed on one of Bottesini’s frequent concert tours with various leading sopranos of the day.
