Peter Tschaikowsky (Bom at Yotkinsk, in the government of Viatka, Russia, May 7, 1840; died at St. Petersburg, November 5-6, 1893.) The full title of this composition is "Manfred, vSymphony in Four Tableaux, after the Dramatic Poem by Byron." Mily Balakireff wrote a letter, dated St. Petersburg, October 28, 1882, to Tschaikowsky, in which he urged him to compose a sym- phonic poem based on Byron's "Manfred." He said that he had rec- ommended the subject to Berlioz, who was unwilling on account of his age and physical infirmities. Balakireff would not compose the music, for the subject was not "in harmony with his inner disposition," btit he thought the subject an admirable one for Tschaikowsky. And Balakireff sketched the programme at some length: there should be a fixed idea, the Manfred motive, which should appear in all the move- ments. His programme for the first movement is practically that which is printed in the score, and he took the pains to name the tonal- ities of the respective themes. His idea was that the second move- ment should portray the simple life of the Alpine hunter. "You must, of course, use a hunter's motive, but you should take the greatest care to avoid the trivial. God keep you from commonplaces after the manner of German fanfares and hunters' music." The third movement should portray the Fairy of the Alps. The Finale should be a wild Allegro, with a portrayal of the palace of Arimanes and of the appear- ance of Astarte's ghost; "her music must be simple and maidenly •' The Easter riorn." Music by S.

Bala- kireff gave him advice concerning details of scoring : thus, the notation of each pulsatile instrument should be on one line, not on five; the notation of the two flutes should be on one staff, and not on two. "The subject Manfred is not only a profound one, it is of contemporaneous interest, for modem humanity is sick because it knows not how to preserv^e its ideals."* Tschaikowsky began composition at Maidanowo in April, 1885. He found the task a hard one, and he was tempted at times to put it aside. He wrote to Mrs. von Meek, August 3, 1885: "The work is so difficult and complicated that I myself am for the time being a Manfred." He ' spoke of his wish to be through with it, of his exhaustion : ' This is the eternal vicious circle in which I go round without finding an exit. If I have no work, I am bored and dismal; if I have work—I work be- yond my strength." He completed "Manfred" in September, 1885. Tschaikowsky wrote that month to Mrs. von Meek: "My 'Manfred' will be played once or twice, and then it will disappear; outside of a handful who go to symphony concerts, no one will happen to hear it. It is only the opera that brings us nearer to the people"; and he was already feverish over an opera at which he was then working. The first performance of "Manfred" was at Moscow, March 11, 1886, under Erdmannsdorfifer'st direction.

Born at ^Nuremberg on June 14, 1848, he studied at the Leipsic Conservatory and with Rietz at Dresden. He was court conductor at Sondershausen (1871-80), then he Uved for a time at Leipsic. He was conductor of the Imperial Russian Music Society at Moscow from 1882 to 1889, and he founded at Moscow in 1885 a students' orchestral society. From 1889 to 1895 he conducted the Philharmonic concerts and Singakademie at Bremen. In 1895 he moved to Munich, but conducted the Imperial Russian Music Society's concerts at St. Petersburg during the winters of 1895-96 and 1896-97. In 1897 he was court conductor at Munich and teacher in the Akademie der Tonkunst, but he resigned both positions toward the end of 1898, and in 1897 he gave up conducting the Akademie concerts. The University of Warsaw made him a professor in 1886. He wrote an overture, "Narziss," choral works, songs, and piano pieces. He married in 1874 Pauline Fichtner (born Oprawill in 1847 at Vienna), a pupil of Ljszt and a celebrated pianist and teacher. Five vSongs SCHOOL-TIME BY FRANK LYNES Five Piano Marches By I.. ID.

  • Current Trends in the Implementation of Educational Concerts of Symphony Orchestras: a Review of Literature LEONI HADJITHOMA European University, Cyprus
    Min-Ad: Israel Studies in Musicology Online, Vol. 15, 2018 (2) Materials of the First International Conference on Music Education in the Community “Traditions, Challenges and Innovations,” Tel-Aviv – Jerusalem, May 14-17, 2017 Current Trends in the Implementation of Educational Concerts of Symphony Orchestras: A Review of Literature LEONI HADJITHOMA European University, Cyprus Abstract: This presentation focused on the current trends in the implementation of educational concerts of symphony orchestras. The aim was to collect, organize and present innovative approaches on how to design enjoyable educational concerts for students and provide them with memorable experiences. Data was collected from orchestra websites, reports, books and published thesis and doctoral dissertations. Results show that educational concerts are usually designed by a conductor often in collaboration with the director of the music education department of an orchestra. Teacher and student resources, and teacher training are provided to prepare the students for the experience. The choice of repertoire depends on the learning objectives of each concert, but the musical tastes and needs of the students should always be taken into consideration. The students are actively engaged in various ways during the concert. Assessment of educational concerts is carried out and the results are used internally for improvement of future concerts. Keywords: educational concerts, symphony orchestra, trends Introduction Many symphony orchestras include in their annual programs educational concerts for students in collaboration with schools to educate the audience of the future and enrich the services they offer to the public. At the same time, educational concerts are an important part of the music curriculum in education and give students the opportunity to gain additional experiences, while interacting with the community they belong to.

    100 Years of Extraordinary Historical Highlights from the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Archives 1910s 1915 – Through a $6,000 grant from the city of Baltimore, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is founded as a branch of the city’s Department of Municipal Music, making it the only major American orchestra to be fully funded as a municipal agency. 1916 – On February 11, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra performs its inaugural concerts to a standing- room-only crowd at The Lyric, under the direction of Music Director Gustav Strube. All three concerts comprising the first season at the Lyric are sold out. 1920s 1924 – On February 16, the BSO hosts its first children’s concert. The Baltimore Symphony youth concert series is the first to be established by an American orchestra. 1926 – The Baltimore Symphony makes its initial broadcast performance on WBAL Radio. 1930s 1930 - George Siemonn becomes the second music director of the orchestra. He conducts his opening concert, with the musicians now numbering 83, on November 23. 1935 - In late February, George Siemonn reluctantly resigns as music director and is replaced by Ernest Schelling. Forty-four musicians apply for the position. Schelling is well-known for his children’s concert series at Carnegie Hall. 1937 - Sara Feldman and Vivienne Cohn become the first women to join the Baltimore Symphony. The older members of the orchestra are supportive, but union members picket the hall with signs saying, “Unfair to Men,” which is reported in the New York Times. 1937 - Ernest Schelling becomes ill and is replaced by Werner Janssen. The dynamic young conductor and his wife, the celebrated film star Ann Harding, receive an enthusiastic response when they arrive in Baltimore.

My examination of influential historical programs, including NBC radio’s 1928–42 Music Appreciation Hour and CBS television’s 1958–72 Young People’s Concerts, as well as contemporary materials including children’s visual media and North Carolina Symphony Education Concerts from 2017–19, show how dominant representations of classical music curated for children systemically erase women and composers- of-color’s contributions and/or do not contextualize their marginalization. I also intervene in how classical music is represented to children and young people. From 2017 to 2019, I conducted participatory research at the Global Scholars Academy (GSA), a K-8 public charter school in Durham, NC, to generate new curricula and materials fostering critical engagement with classical music and music history. Stemming from the participatory research principle of situating community collaborators as co-producers of knowledge, conducting participatory research with children urged me to prioritize children’s perspectives throughout this project.
