ELLIS, Manager* l HAROLD BAUER Now playing in America in all prominent cities, in recital and with important musical organizations, writes as follows of the ifeim&lfamlm PIANO Messrs. 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. Permit me to add, in conclusion, that it has been a source of personal gratification to me to hear the favorable comments that have been passed in every instance upon your instruments, and to find that my opinion as expressed last year has been echoed and confirmed by musicians and the musical public throughout the country. I remain, gentlemen, Yours very truly, (Signed) HAROLD BAUER. U»n&Iaiitlttt(!fo 139 Fifth Avenue New York City 2 Boston Symphony Orchestra. PERSONNEL. Twenty =fifth Season, 1905=1906.

The work entitled "Wallenstein," composed during the years 1873-81, though classed by some as a symphony, is entitled by d'Indy "Trilogy, after the dramas of Schiller." According to his own catalogue, d'Indy's Symphony No. 1 is the symphony in three parts on a French mountain air, for pianoforte and orchestra, composed in 1886, produced at Paris, March 20, 1887 (Mme. Bordes-Pene, pianist), and performed in Boston, April 5, 1902, with Mr. Bauer, pianist. The Symphony in B-flat major, composed in 1 903-1 904, was pro- duced at a Lamoureux concert, Paris, February 28, 1904. The score is dedicated to Paul Dukas. The symphony is scored for three flutes (one interchangeable with piccolo), two oboes, one English horn, two clarinets, one bass clarinet, three bassoons, four horns, one small trum- pet in E-flat, two trumpets in C, three trombones, one contra-bass trombone, chromatic kettledrums, big drum, cymbals, triangle, two harps, strings. The first performance of the symphony in America was at Phil- adelphia by the Philadelphia Orchestra, December 31, 1904. It was played here at a Symphony Concert, January 7, 1905. The first movement is made up of two distinct parts : a slow intro- duction, in which the themes appear at first in the state of simple cells and a lively movement. ' I. * Extr&mement lent.

The flute replies with a phrase whose chief characteristic is an ascending leap of a seventh, a progression dear to the composer. This phrase is the second princi- pal theme of- the symphony. The phrase may be resolved in this instance into two distinct elements: the descending fourth—B-flat to F-sharp—which, with its own peculiar rhythm, is a cell that later on Miniature Scores of Wagner's WorKs Trauermarsch aus " Gotterdammerung."

It is at once catholic and discrimi- nating ; and while giving ample recognition to the most radical of the younger men, like d'Indy, Faure, Debussy, and others less well known, the work of the more conservative composers is largely drawn upon. A place is also found for the charming and grace- ful songs of such writers as Chaminade and Godard. The editor's task has been performed in a most painstaking and thorough manner. In addition to an essay upon the genesis and growth of French song,— a subject which Mr. Hale is quali- fied to handle with authority, — biographical sketches of every com- poser have been provided. By the charm of its style, no less than its value as criticism, this essay must be ranked high in the litera- ture of the subject. Each volume contains portraits of nine of the most prominent song writers and an index in both French and English. Special pains have been taken to secure the highest excellence in paper, printing, and binding. VOL. I., BEMBERG TO FRANCE VOL.

The audience seemed outraged at the idea of a loose woman and murder onstage at the Opéra-Comique. Bizet died three months later at age 37, never knowing that he had written what would become one of the most popular operas ever composed. After Bizet’s death, his publisher Choudens felt that the music of the opera was too good to lose, so he commissioned the French composer Ernest Guiraud to arrange excerpts from Carmen into two orchestral suites of six movements each. The music from Carmen has everything going for it – excitement, color and (best of all) instantly recognizable tunes. From today’s vantage point, it seems impossible that this opera could have been anything but a smash success from the first instant. The Suite No. 1 from Carmen contains some of the most famous music from the opera, and it also offers some wonderful writing for solo woodwinds.

  • 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.

L’année 2012 fut l’occasion de célébrer Debussy, sans oublier son contemporain Maurice Emmanuel. Ainsi le Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris, où Maurice Emmanuel enseigna l’Histoire de la musique de 1909 à 1936, a-t-il accueilli en décembre dernier un colloque consacré à « Maurice Emmanuel pédagogue ». Cette exposition s’en veut le prolongement. Elle été réalisée par les élèves de la classe de Culture musicale de Lucie Kayas dans le cadre des activités appliquées proposées par cette classe. Grâce à la générosité d’Anne Eichner-Emmanuel, petit-fille du compositeur, de nombreux documents originaux ont pu être présentés, tout comme les panneaux réalisés par l’Association des amis de Maurice Emmanuel. Souhaitons que cette exposition permette de mieux faire connaître l’œuvre et la pensée de ce grand musicien humaniste. et élève : Théodore Dubois (1837- 1924), Louis-Albert Bourgault- Ducoudray (1840-1910)… Après avoir quitté la classe de composition de Delibes, écarté du prix de Rome pour cause d’utilisation de modes peu conventionnels, 1.

  • Paul Dukas: Villanelle for Horn and Orchestra (1906)
    Paul Dukas: Villanelle for Horn and Orchestra (1906) Paul Dukas (1865-1935) was a French composer, critic, scholar and teacher. A studious man, of retiring personality, he was intensely self-critical, and as a perfectionist he abandoned and destroyed many of his compositions. His best known work is the orchestral piece The Sorcerer's Apprentice (L'apprenti sorcier), the fame of which became a matter of irritation to Dukas. In 2011, the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians observed, "The popularity of L'apprenti sorcier and the exhilarating film version of it in Disney's Fantasia possibly hindered a fuller understanding of Dukas, as that single work is far better known than its composer." Among his other surviving works are the opera Ariane et Barbe-bleue (Ariadne and Bluebeard, 1897, later championed by Toscanini and Beecham), a symphony (1896), two substantial works for solo piano (Sonata, 1901, and Variations, 1902) and a sumptuous oriental ballet La Péri (1912). Described by the composer as a "poème dansé" it depicts a young Persian prince who travels to the ends of the Earth in a quest to find the lotus flower of immortality, coming across its guardian, the Péri (fairy). Because of the very quiet opening pages of the ballet score, the composer added a brief "Fanfare pour précéder La Peri" which gave the typically noisy audiences of the day time to settle in their seats before the work proper began. Today the prelude is a favorite among orchestral brass sections. At a time when French musicians were divided into conservative and progressive factions, Dukas adhered to neither but retained the admiration of both.
