And soldiers, and the mothers and wives and sweethearts and children of soldiers get more of the breath of life from music than the man on the street has any notion of."—JOHN McCORMACK MUSIC is an essential of every well-regulated home. It is a factor of vital importance in the education of the children, an unending source of inspiration and recreation for the growing gener- ation, a refining, cultivating influence touching every member of the family. It is the common speech that is understood by all, that appeals to everybody, that enlists the sympathies of man, woman and child, of high and low, of young and old, in every walk of life. The PIANO is the universal musical instrument of the home, the instrument that should be in every household. And the greatest among pianos is the STEINWAY, prized and cherished throughout the wide world by all lovers of good music. Or, in the^words of a well-known American writer: "Wherever human hearts are sad or glad, and songs are sung, and strings vibrate, and keys respond to love's caress, there is known, respected, revered—loved—the name and fame of STEINWAY."

Cesar Franck (Born at Lidge, December 10, 1822; died at Paris, November 8, 1890.) "Psyche," a symphony for orchestra and chorus, with text by Messrs. Sicard and Fourcaud (?),* music by Cesar Franck, was composed in 1887-88. It was performed for the first time at a concert of the Na- tional Society in Paris, March 10, 1888. It was performed at Chatelet concerts, February 23, 30, 1890, and after Franck's death on November 30 and December 7 of the same year. Four orchestral sections of the work were published in the form of a suite in 1900: "Sommeil de Psyche," "Psyche enlevee par les Zephirs," "Les Jardins d'Eros," "Psyche et Eros." "Psyche's Sleep" and "Psyche borne away by the Zephyrs" were performed at a con- cert of the Philharmonic Society of New York on January 31, 1903. "Psyche and Eros" was played by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, M. d'Indy guest conductor, at New York on December 9, 1905; at Philadelphia on December 4, 1905; at Washington, December 5, 1905. "Psyche and Eros" was played for the first time in Boston at a con- cert of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, led by M. d'Indy, guest conductor, on December 2, 1905. There was another performance in Boston by this orchestra, Mr. Gericke conductor, April 7, 1906. * These are the names of the librettists as given by Georges Servieres in " La Musique Francaise Moderne" (Paris, 1897). Dr. Derepas in his "C6sar Franck" says that Grandmougin wrote the poem. The music journals of Paris, in their reviews of the performances in 1888 and 1890, did not mention the name of any librettist. The librettist is not named either on the title page of Franck's own ar- rangement for chorus and pianoforte (four hands) or on that of the Suite published in 1900. Baldens- berger, in his list of Franck's works, includes " Psych6 poesie de L. L." Arthur Coquard gives the same 1 information. Vincent d'Indy and Octave Sere say nothing about the librettists.

  • Masques Et Bergamasques – Suite, Op 112 Ouverture Menuet Gavotte Pastorale
    Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) Masques et Bergamasques – Suite, Op 112 Ouverture Menuet Gavotte Pastorale Fauré is not usually thought of as a composer for the theatre. Indeed, there is a cartoon showing him literally weaving the score of his opera Pénélope (1913) – it took him so long to finish, in the time left over from his duties as director of the Paris Conservatoire, that he seemed to be adopting his heroine’s ruse. In fact, Fauré’s numerous plans for a full-scale lyric drama foundered on his inability to find a suitable libretto – like most French composers, he longed for a success in the theatre. He appeased this ‘lyric hunger’, as he explained in a letter to his friend Saint-Saëns, in incidental music for plays, ‘the only kind which suits my modest means’. His scores for plays include Caligula (1888), Shylock (1889) and Pelleas and Melisande, for a London production in 1898. The opera Pénélope was premiered in Monte Carlo; shortly after World War I ended, Fauré received a commission from the Prince of Monaco for the same theatre. Fauré’s idea was to take up again the Fête galante theme he had already explored in several songs and choruses. In 1902 an entertainment of this sort using his music had been a great success in the Paris salon of Madeleine Lemaire. Fauré asked the librettist of Pénélope, René Fauchois, to write a lightweight, playful piece in the style of Verlaine’s Fêtes galantes. Fauchois’ own description of the scenario makes clear that it was little more than a pretext: Harlequin, Gilles and Columbine, the masques who often amused the court, in turn amuse themselves at being the spectators of a fête galante at Cythera; without knowing it, the gentlemen and ladies who applaud them give them the impromptu play of their petty coquetteries and their trivial talk.

  • The Moral Basis of Family Relationships in the Plays of Shakespeare and His Contemporaries: a Study in Renaissance Ideas
    The Moral Basis of Family Relationships in the plays of Shakespeare and his Contemporaries: a Study in Renaissance Ideas. A submission for the degree of doctor of philosophy by Stephen David Collins. The Department of History of The University of York. June, 2016. ABSTRACT. Families transact their relationships in a number of ways. Alongside and in tension with the emotional and practical dealings of family life are factors of an essentially moral nature such as loyalty, gratitude, obedience, and altruism. Morality depends on ideas about how one should behave, so that, for example, deciding whether or not to save a brother's life by going to bed with his judge involves an ethical accountancy drawing on ideas of right and wrong. It is such ideas that are the focus of this study. It seeks to recover some of ethical assumptions which were in circulation in early modern England and which inform the plays of the period. A number of plays which dramatise family relationships are analysed from the imagined perspectives of original audiences whose intellectual and moral worlds are explored through specific dramatic situations. Plays are discussed as far as possible in terms of their language and plots, rather than of character, and the study is eclectic in its use of sources, though drawing largely on the extensive didactic and polemical writing on the family surviving from the period. Three aspects of family relationships are discussed: first, the shifting one between parents and children, second, that between siblings, and, third, one version of marriage, that of the remarriage of the bereaved.

Mason & Hamlin, Boston. Gentlemen : In a former letter to you I expressed my delight and satisfaction with your magnifi- cent pianofortes, and I have once more to thank you and to admire your untiring efforts to attain an artistic ideal. Your latest model, equipped with the centripetal tension bars, has developed and intensified the qualities of its precursors and has surpassed my highest expectations. As you know, I have used these instruments under many different conditions, in recital, with orchestra, in small and in large halls, and their adaptability to all require- ments has equally astonished and delighted me. The tone is, as always, one of never- failing beauty, the action is wonderful in its delicacy and responsiveness, and I consider that, as an instrument for bringing into prominence the individual qualities of tone and touch of the player, the Mason & Hamlin piano stands absolutely pre-eminent. The vertical grand (style O) is the only instrument of its kind, as far as I am aware, capable of giving complete satisfaction to any one accustomed to play upon a grand, and I have no hesitation in saying that it is without exception the finest upright piano I have ever met with.

  • THE MERCHANT of VENICE (1596) Ex 1. Pag. 126 - What Is a Stereotype? Provide a Definition
    W. SHAKESPEARE - THE MERCHANT OF VENICE (1596) Ex 1. pag. 126 - What is a stereotype? Provide a definition. It is the attribution of a set of complex characteristics to individuals on the basis of preconceived notions. This racial or ethnic stereotyping is a collectivist way of thinking. It judges a person not by his own character and actions, but by the characters and actions of a collective of ancestors – as if values and character are determined before one is born. It is based implicitly on the irrational and discredited doctrine of inherited, innate knowledge. So while stereotyping may provide cognitive shortcuts, it leads to false conclusions. It is an obstacle to human thought and social progress. Ex 2. pag. 126 - What stereotypes are connected with Jews? Many Jewish stereotypes are understood by viewing history. Jews have been stereotyped as being adept money handlers. In medieval Europe, many governments restricted money handling and money lending to Jews and Arabs, believing them to be practices morally inappropriate for Christians. Entry into many fields was barred to Jews. Those who were competent financiers were most likely to succeed in a society where they were essentially personae non gratae. Jews learned by experience to develop skills in professions dependent on intellectual talents – they became teachers, doctors, lawyers, accountants. In a Europe where Jews were always considered resident-aliens, subject to expulsion or expropriation at the whim of the political class, it made sense to have a livelihood not tied to the ground. A Jew in exile could resume his profession and offer a scarce and valuable service wherever expulsion landed him.

    youthful sketches in two Wand of Youth Suites, the first of which we hear in tonight’s program. The Fifty-third Season of Faure’s suite of pieces entitled Shylock was written as incidental music for a comedy by Edmond de Haraucourt based on Shakespeare’s The Merchant of THE WILLIAM NELSON CROMWELL and Venice. With his customary self-deprecating humor, Faure claimed a preference F. LAMMOT BELIN CONCERTS for incidental music as a form, insisting that it was “the only [form] which is suited to my meager talents.” Debussy subscribed to the theories of correspondances between the arts even at the more vigorously than Whistler. In his program for the first performance of the Nocturnes, he described Nuages as “the unchanging aspect of the sky, with the National Gallery of Art slow and melancholy passage of clouds dissolving into a vague grayness tinged with white.” Fetes is “movement, rhythm dancing in the atmosphere, with bursts of brusque light....the Festival and its blended music [are] luminous dust participating in the universal rhythm of all things.” And of Sirenes he wrote: “...the sea and its innumerable rhythms; then amid the billows silvered by the moon the mysterious song of the Sirens is heard; it laughs and passes.” Among his contemporaries who were interested equally in art and music, Debussy came to embody the synthesis between the two. The poet and art critic Camille Mauclair, for example, wrote: “The paintings of Monet and Degas are sym­ phonies and suites of light, while the music of Debussy is sonorous impression­ istic painting.”
