(492) . Overture, "Carnival," Opus 92 Antonin Dvorak. ' (Born at Nelahozeves (Miilhausen), near Kralup, Bohemia, on Sept. 8, 1841 ; still living.) This overture begins in a joyous fortissimo of the whole orchestra with the brilliant first theme, Allegro in A major (2-2 time) ; this theme is very fully developed, its initial phrases returning again after a while, to round off the period. It is followed, still in fortissimo and in the same key, by an equally brilliant subsidiary, which is more concisely stated. Then comes some softer contrapuntal passage-work in the strings and some of the wood- wind on another subsidiary figure, leading to some further developments on the first theme. A diminishing passage on the initial figure of the first theme leads to the entrance of the second theme, Poco tranquillo, in E minor, the first and second violins playing the melody in octaves over a waving arpeggio accompaniment in the second violins and violas, while the oboe clarinet in with graceful little and come counter-figures between the phrases ; the theme is further developed by the wood-wind in octaves, the violins now coming in between the phrases with gracefully flowing figures. A conclu- sion-theme in G major follows almost immediately, and is worked up at considerable length and with great brilliancy, ending in the dominant of the principal key (E major). Now the first theme returns in the violins, against ascending diminished 7th arpeggj in the wood-wind and harp (which latter instrument here enters for the first time) you think the free fantasia is ; beginning; but, as the passage goes on diminishing and getting vnguer and HORSFORD'5 .

'494) vaguer, you see that it is merely transitional ; a fortissimo, long-held and diminished G-natural in the first violins and horn, leads over to a free episode on new material. The movement now changes to Andantino con moto in G major (3-8 time). The second violins and violas divisi and con sordini hold high sustained harmonies, while the English-horn attacks an obstinate little pastoral figure which it keeps repeating over and over again, and the flute and oboe out- line a graceful melody. An answer comes softly from the horn, over a waving tremolo in the muted first violins. The melody is then developed by various orchestral combinations, leading at last to a return of the original Allegro alia breve, now in G minor, and of fragments of the first theme in the violins against the diminished 7th arpeggj in the wood-wind and harp. Now the real free fantasia begins, and runs principally on an elaborate working-out of the subsidiaries to the first theme, against a new running, contrapuntal counter-theme. After a while scraps of the first theme return and a brief climax of passage- work leads back to the tonic key of A major, and with it to the beginning of the third part of the overture. The first theme now returns fortissimo in all its glory, but is far more extendedly developed than in the first part, the development assuming more and more the character of passage-work, until — skipping over all the sub- sidiaries and the second theme — the climax leads to a resounding return of the brilliant conclusion-theme (now in a somewhat altered rhythm), and a short Coda brings the work to a most effective end. This overture is scored for 1 piccolo-flute, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, r English- horn, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, i bass-tuba, 1 harp, 1 pair of kettle-drums, cymbals, tambourine, triangle, and the usual strings.

  • The Bellevue House, Which Opened in 1828, Was One of Newport's First
    The Bellevue House, which opened in 1828, was one of Newport’s first grand hotels, providing an unprecedented level of hospitality, comfort, and luxury in the City-by-the-Sea. Image from John Ross Dix. A Hand-Book of Newport, and Rhode Island (Newport, R.I.: C.E. Hammett, Jr, 1852), 157. NEWPORT HISTORICAL SOCIETY. Music and Dancing at the “Queen of Resorts”: The Impact of the Germania Musical Society on Newport’s Hotel Period Brian M. Knoth We have the most absolute faith in steam factories, but we do not wish to see any more built in Newport…Let not the hum of spindles mock the music of the Sea .1 Music and dancing were integral features of Newport’s revival as a popular resort destination during its hotel period that began in the 1840s . Following a long period of economic depression, this era marked Newport’s emergence as a premier watering hole, with the establishment of several large well-appointed seaside hotels . At its height, in the 1850s, Newport was a world-class summer destination, known as the “Queen of Resorts ”. An extraordinary group of German musicians called the Germania Musical Society were instrumental to Newport’s flourishing resort economy during the 1850s . The significance of the Germania on Newport’s summer society, music culture, and resort traditions during the 1850s cannot be overstated . The Germania Musical Society first played in Newport in 1849, and for much of the next decade brought unrivaled musical experiences to Newport summer audiences for the first time, complementing a stunning natural environment and luxurious accommodations .

    Library of The Harvard Musical Association Bulletin No. 10 February, 1941 Library Committee EDWARD B. HILL QUINCY PORTER ALEXANDER W. WILLIAMS RICHARD W. DWIGHT Director of the Library and Custodian of the Marsh Room Library and Marsh Room Marsh Room CHARLES R. NUTTER MURIEL FRENCH PATIENCE POWERS To the Members of the Association: The attention of members is called to an article by President Guild in this issue. * * * * Earlier Bulletins stated that one project of the Association on its organization was the formation of a Library. This project was begun at once, pursued with vigor, and often discussed at Directors’ meetings. Perhaps this concentrated energy was partly due to the fact that a Library was the one project among their several projects which, because it concerned themselves only, could be put through by themselves. For several years there were no funds available for the Library. Consequently accessions depended for a considerable time on the generosity of members, who were constantly urged to give music and books. From some members were received fine and for those days costly editions of classical music. Henry Gassett, on a trip abroad, brought back much music; Nathan Richardson gave a complete set of Bach’s works in 46 volumes, published by the Bach Society in Leipzig. This last was a remarkable gift, for the 46 volumes were costly and beautifully bound. Among other donors were F. H. Jenks; Henry Ware, Jr.; H. K. Oliver, who presented 25 volumes of English Glees collected by the Salem Glee Club and apparently the only edition; the Musical Antiquarian Society of London, which donated copies of “their beautiful and highly valuable publications”; Oliver Ditson and Company, who in 1860 presented 122 volumes of music and books; Joseph Coolidge, who in 1881 gave 50 volumes of music; and Arthur Foote, who during his membership gave much valuable music and some books.

  • Musical Gazette (New York, 1854-1855)
    Introduction to: Randi Trzesinski and Richard Kitson, The Musical Gazette (1854-1855) Copyright © 2007 RIPM Consortium Ltd Répertoire international de la presse musicale (www.ripm.org) The Musical Gazette (1854-1855) The Musical Gazette [MGA] was published weekly on Saturdays in New York City by the Mason Brothers from 11 November 1854 until 5 May 1855, and comprised twenty-six weekly numbers, the first two containing sixteen pages each, the remainder eight pages each. The issues are numbered from 1 through 26 and the pages are numbered consecutively from 1 through 208. In 1851 Daniel Gregory Mason (1820-1869) and his brother Lowell Mason (1823-1885)—sons of music educator and composer Lowell Mason—united with Henry W. Law to create the Mason & Law publishing firm. Daniel Gregory and Lowell Mason, Junior established in 1853 their own firm, the Mason Brothers, publishers of secular and religious music, school textbooks, histories, English and French dictionaries and music periodicals.1 In 1854 they undertook publication of The Choral Advocate and Singing-Class Journal, and began two new musical periodicals in November of that year, The Musical Gazette (edited by Lowell Mason, Junior) and The Musical Review. After 5 May 1855 MGA was absorbed into another music journal published by the Mason Brothers, The New-York Musical Review and Choral Advocate which was then renamed The New-York Musical Review and Gazette.2 The Mason Brothers’ principal goal for MGA was publication of a journal “devoted to the higher departments of musical literature and criticism; … Musical news from all parts of the world, where music is cultivated, will be promptly and regularly given.”3 Each page of MGA is printed in a two-column format and issues are organized in three main parts.
