Volume 19 Number 4: Summer 2018

St. BotolphBulletin From the Editor Bill Taylor

“Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language,” opined quasi-Botolphian Henry James. But the passing of summer and the arrival of fall poses a conundrum: if Bill Taylor summer afternoons are so long, why, in New England, is the summer season so short? The answer might lie in some mathematical confluence of the tilt of the earth’s axis, its diurnal rotation on that axis and its elliptical orbit around the sun. Or, more likely, it’s just in our minds. At least this year, the Red Sox have stretched summer into October.

Quartet Fin de Siècle - Katharina Radlberger, Summer is comparatively quiet at the Club. Some of us travel. Karen McComoney, Jennifer Morsches Some escape to the Cape—or to the other Cape. Some write, paint, sculpt, compose or practice as they cannot during the school year. Some of us less ambitious Botolphians read on the beach what we should have read in the library. And some of us stay-at-homes continue to trek to the Club for enlightenment, food and air-conditioning.

We sipped on glasses of Prosecco as we cruised by the towns of Amalfi and Ravello. The cliffs were breathtaking and we passed many small beaches only accessible by boat. We decided with Agire that we would go to his village for a nice lunch. We did stop a few times on the way to jump off the boat and do some floating in the Mediterranean.

We arrived at San Pietro in time for lunch. Our waiter introduced us to a local treasure called Club Attire Colatura, an Italian fish sauce made from local anchovies layered with salt in barrels and Members are reminded that fermented for nearly a year. The clear amber liquid drippings are then bottled and used as flavoring. Lunch was fantastic! We dined on tuna belly, octopus, shrimp and whole fish cooked St. Botolph Club scarves, in crazy water.

After a few more stops to jump in the water, we made our way back to Positano. This is the day I will be thinking about when the Club is in full swing in December.

We all raised a glass of champagne in Allison’s honor at the garden reception which followed.

During our week in Venetia, we celebrated Anne’s birthday at Teatro La Fenece with a modern performance of La Traviata, followed by an unplanned dinner of Venetian specialties, in an elegant modern restaurant located on a lane a block behind the opera house.

Not to be outdone, Allison celebrated her 60th birthday with a specially planned dinner, hosted by her husband Spencer, on the Island of Guernica, at a small restaurant with our table on the Lagoon, looking back to Venetia under a blanket of sparkling stars.

4 | ST. BOTOLPH BULLETIN Quartet Fin de Siècle

1905. The end of the 19th century. Revolt in Russia. Rumblings across Europe. Discontent in art, music and literature: the fin de siècle – ennui, cynicism, fashionable despair. These charac- teristics were reflected very differently in the music of Germany and France. In 1905 in Germany, Anton Webern wrote one of his last tonal pieces for string quartet. Reminiscent of Wagner and Mahler, it would not be played publicly until 1962, long after Webern followed Schoenberg into the wilds of twelve-tone serial composition. In France in 1905, the musical fin de siècle Quartet Fin de Siècle - Sarah Titterington Ibbett, Katharina Radlberger, style was impressionism. Maurice Ravel’s Quartet in F major Karen McComoney, Jennifer Morsches was premiered in March and submitted to the Prix de Rome and the Conservatoire de Paris. Rejected by both, a popular uprising known as l’Affaire Ravel toppled the regime at the Conserva- toire, breathed life into musical impressionism and arguably made Ravel’s career. The work itself has become one of the mainstays of the string quartet literature.

Played on period instruments with gut (sheep not cat) instead of steel strings, the performance by the Quartet Fin de Siècle featured a warm, rich sound with unusually complex overtones, perfectly evocative of the tones of the times.

VOLUME 19 NUMBER 4 | 5 Historic Exhibition: St. Botolph at the Providence Art Club Barbara Lucas and George Lynde

This summer twenty St. Botolph member artists exhibited their work at the Providence Art Club (PAC) from August 12-31 in an historic “first” between our reciprocal clubs. PAC’s Gallery Director, Michael Snow, selected work for the exhibition from images submitted for the show by our member artists. This show is the first half of an exchange arranged by Art Committee members Barbara Lucas and George Lynde between our club and PAC, whereby our artists showed there at the end of the summer, and PAC will have a show of its artists at the St. Botolph. Our reception for that show is November 28.

The opening was in the Providence Art Club’s Dodge House Gallery on Sunday afternoon, August 12, and, in spite of rainy Oana Lauric, John McConnell weather, about thirty Botolphians and friends made the trip to Providence to attend (see photos). The opening was also well attended by members of the Providence club.

After the show wrapped up at the end of August, PAC’s gallery director reported that our artists’ work was very favorably received. …“ Our members and the general public have really, really enjoyed the work and I think this collaboration has been a great success!!”

For those of you unfamiliar with the Providence Art Club, it was founded in 1880, within months of the St. Botolph Club, and is one of the oldest arts organizations in the nation and the first such club to be co-founded by women and men. It is housed in five historic buildings in downtown Providence and is home to five (!) galleries and two dining rooms. The focus of PAC is different from ours in that PAC is all about making visual art and, as our members know, the St. Botolph Club has wider interests, without Bill Lucas, Allan Green, PAC member the tight focus on art-making. It will be interesting to compare our show this summer with theirs coming up in November.

In addition to providing new venues for our and their artists to show their work, the exchange of exhibitions provides an excellent opportunity for the St. Botolph Club to strengthen the relationship with its sister club, the Providence Art Club. When you’re in Providence, take advantage of our reciprocal relationship with PAC and have lunch there. You’ll be delighted by its atmosphere and excellent food.

St. Botolph members were treated to a delightful night of music and scholarship on June 21. Mark Kroll, Professor emeritus and international concert soloist and recording artist, performed a series of Domenico Scarlatti harpsichord pieces (plus one additional “imitation Scarlatti”) primarily dating from Scarlatti’s years in Spain and in Portugal, when he served the royal houses as instructor and composer in residence.
