The two overtures, "Spring," Op. 38, and "Prometheus Bound," are the latest published compositions, in the larger forms, from the pen of the com- poser of "The Queen of Sheba." Prometheus, perhaps as frequently as any character in mythology, has attracted the attention of the musician, composers as far apart as Beethoven and Liszt having each given the legend a musical setting, more or less serious. In Grecian mythology, Prometheus is the son of Japetus and Clymene, brother of Atlas, Mencetius, and Epimetheus. According to Hesiod, gods and men were in a dispute at Mecone in regard to what portion of the ani- mal should be offered in sacrifice. Prometheus, as the tutelary represen- tative of man, divided a bull into two parts, one consisting of the flesh and intestines wrapped in the skin, and the other of the bones covered up by the white fat. Jupiter, having been asked which of the two he would choose, decided for the latter ; and, as the choice could not be revoked, those parts alone were thereafter offered on his altar. Indignant at the deception, he withheld fire from mortals, but Prometheus stole fire from heaven in the hollow of a tube. Jupiter now sent Pandora to earth with her box of evils, and fastened Prometheus to a pillar, where he remained for many generations, an eagle every day feeding upon his liver, which every night grew again. At length Hercules was permitted to kill the eagle and free the prisoner. Historians tell us the most celebrated drama founded upon this myth is the trilogy of ./Eschylus, of which " Prometheus Bound " and a few frag- ments of " Prometheus Loosed " are extant. In ./Eschylus, Prometheus appears not only as a protector of the human race against the superior might of the gods, but as its teacher and benefactor. Through his assist- ance, Jupiter overcomes the Titans ; but, when Prometheus frustrates the design of destroying mankind, he is chained to a rock in Scythia. Here he is visited by the Oceanids and by Io, to whom he foretells her long wanderings. He is in possession of knowledge which it is essential to the safety of Jupiter to gain ; but he bids defiance to his persecutor, and refuses to make known the secret. He is hurled into Tartarus, and afterward reappears chained to Mount Caucasus, to undergo fresh torments. From this condition he can only be freed when some other god shall voluntarily Note.— Goldmark, who is said to love the children of his brain with a truly fatherly affection, and never to lose an opportunity of seeing how they are treated, was once trav- elling to hear a performance of his opera, " The Queen of Sheba," and in the train got in conversation with a lady, in whom he became much interested. He longed to make him- " self known to his fair companion, and at last ventured to say : I suppose, madame, you do not know who lam?" " No, sir, I do not," replied the lady. " Well, then, I am Carl Goldmark, the composer of 'The Queen of Sheba.'" "Oh, indeed!" was the lady's " reply; "and is that a very good situation ?

Another account says that Jupiter himself agreed to reveal the prophecy, according to which, if he were married to Thetes, she would give birth to a son greater than himself. A clew to Goldmark's thought when composing the overture played to-day is found on the title-page, which is inscribed, " Overture zum Ge- fesselten Prometheus des ^Eschylos." Further than this, the composer vouchsafes no "programme." Nor will we attempt to establish one; for the picturesque and earnest work, in which is apparent a higher dramatic quality than any of its predecessors, will spur the imagination to various interpretations of its moods. Goldmark is always a vivid colorist ; and this new work, which preserves the overture form, shows no loss of the cunning which painted the " Sakuntala " and the " Penthesilea." The overture is scored for full modern orchestra, with increased brass and tympani. 1 The Dream-king and his Love " (Song:, with Orchestra). Raff. Sweet slumbers the maiden in bower of peace, On snowy, soft pillow reclining Upon her the June night balmily breathes, With perfume its coolness entwining. Yon casement blossoms with roses bedight, The lindens exhale their fragrance Scarce through the leaves can moonbeams win, With all their gold, an entrance. But, sudden, balmier grows the air, Fireflies their flambeaux are swinging The leaves are astir, and vocal the breeze With softly melodious singing. " Sweet love ! sweet love ! and hush thee to sleep, 'Neath midnight's silent pinions ; Dream-king will be thy lover brave, Dream-king from elves' dominions." Then shakes the sprite his raven locks, His arms to the maiden advances ; And brightly on his royal crown Full many a gem glances. Then bends he him soft o'er the slumbering fair, Fond kisses enjoying and craving And moves his golden enchanting wand, His circles airily waving. But these as he wider extends, the room Grows wide as a palace's spaces, Where, girt about with resplendent array, Dream-king his love embraces. The pillows of purple that swell the couch, They yield but soft resistance ; Twin pages kneel at their bridal bed, The lamp glows mild at a distance.

    SOCIAL DISCOURSE IN THE SAVOY THEATRE’S PRODUCTIONS OF THE NAUTCH GIRL (1891) AND UTOPIA LIMITED (1893): EXOTICISM AND VICTORIAN SELF-REFLECTION William L. Hicks, B.M. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2003 APPROVED: John Michael Cooper, Major Professor Margaret Notley, Committee Member Mark McKnight, Committee Member James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Hicks, William L, Social Discourse in the Savoy Theatre’s Productions of The Nautch Girl (1891) and Utopia Limited (1893): Exoticism and Victorian Self-Reflection. Master of Music (Musicology), August 2003, 107 pp., 4 illustrations, 12 musical examples, references, 91 titles. As a consequence to Gilbert and Sullivan’s famed Carpet Quarrel, two operettas with decidedly “exotic” themes, The Nautch Girl; or, The Rajah of Chutneypore, and Utopia Limited; or, The Flowers of Progress were presented to London audiences. Neither has been accepted as part of the larger Savoy canon. This thesis considers the conspicuous business atmosphere of their originally performed contexts to understand why this situation arose. Critical social theory makes it possible to read the two documents as overt reflections on British imperialism. Examined more closely, however, the operettas reveal a great deal more about the highly introverted nature of exotic representation and the ambiguous dialogue between race and class hierarchies in late nineteenth-century British society. Copyright, 2003 by William L. Hicks ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Because of the obscurity of The Nautch Girl and Utopia Limited, I am greatly indebted to the booksellers Christopher Browne and Wilfred M.

Dagnell Choreographer: Will Bishop Musical Director : John Anstell Cast: Leo Stormont ( Sultan), Ada Reeve (Medorah), W.S. Percy ( Dadoolah), Jamieson Dodds (Vernon Grant ), Leslie Stiles ( Ambassador Manston), Margaret Campbell ( Mrs Manston) Songs: Tomorrow’s Another Day, There’s Always a Drawback, Like a Dream. Wonderful Joy, Hope Again, Love and My Soul Alone Story: In Caravanistan beauty is measured in physical bulk, the heavier the better. The Sultan’s eldest daughter, Medorah, is thin, too thin to be an eligible bride. Chancellor Dadoolah suggests she is sent to America for the purposes of putting on weight – a suggestion that delights her because she has fallen in love with Vernon Grant, the man who accompanied the American ambassador and his wife to a reception in the Sultan’s palace. They meet again in Washington, and when she is summoned back to Caravanistan , Vernon secretly follows. Meantime, after various adventures, Vernon is captured and forced to work as a slave in the Sultan’s household. With no hope of marrying his underweight daughter to a prince, the Sultan condemns her to marry his new slave – and thus Medorah and Vernon are happily united. Notes: The original publicity declared that “Medorah” was jointly produced by Mr. Bernard J. Hishin and Sir Oswald Stoll, but within a week of opening, the show was subject to a legal dispute in the Court of Chancery, with Violet Melnotte claiming (and winning) half-ownership in the copyright of the English version of this Dutch original.

  • Martyn Hagan & Lucy Fraser
    MARTYN HAGAN & LUCY FRASER (also incl. Vic Hagan, Jack Hagan and Will Hagan) Comic, singer, dancer, interlocutor, pantomime dame, sketch artist, stage manager, manager, entrepreneur, writer. Martyn Hagan's early career saw him associated with such troupes and managers as Hiscocks Federal Minstrels, John F. Sheridan, Rose Clifford's Bohemian Musical Comedy Co, the Faust Family and Frank Smith. In the late 1880s he co-founded the XLCR Minstrel and Burlesque Company with Charlie Fanning (1888) and Hagan, Buckley and Leston's Minstrels (1889). During the early 1890s he was associated with Dan Tracey, George Rignold, George Coppin, Harry Barrington and Williamson and Musgrove among others. From 1895 he and his wife Lucy Fraser toured a society sketch act with various organisations including the McLean/Hagan Gaiety Company, Harry Rickards and the Martyn Hagan Musical Comedy Co (1901). They were later engaged by Percy Dix (1903-04), Frank M. Clark (ca.1905) and the People’s Concerts in Melbourne (ca.1910-11). Hagan and Fraser left Australia in 1912, spending the next 18 years working on variety circuits around the world, including the UK, USA and Asia. Three sons, Vic, Will and Jack also established long careers in the entertainment industry (both in Australia and overseas). Hagan and Fraser returned to Australia in 1929 still as variety performers. They are believed to have retired from full time engagements sometime during the early 1930s. The Brisbane Courier writes of Martyn Hagan's 1895 appearance as one of the ugly sisters in the J. C. Williamson pantomime, Cinderella: "Mr Hagan is an old friend, and as such, as well as for his ability, he was warmly received.

While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality o f the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “ target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Pagc(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing pagc(s) or section, they arc spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication o f either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part o f the material being photographed, a definite method o f “ sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps.

  • Spanish Music and Its Representations in London (1878-1930): from the Exotic to the Modern
    Spanish Music and its Representations in London (1878-1930): From the Exotic to the Modern. Kenneth James Murray Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2013 Melbourne Conservatorium of Music University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper ABSTRACT This thesis argues that the landscape of Spanish music in London evolved between 1878 and 1930 from Romantic exotic constructions to a recognition and appreciation of Spanish musical nationalism, which reflected some of the concerns of post-war musical modernism in a newly cosmopolitan context. This transformation will be traced through the study of specific protagonists and events that contributed to the English reception of Spanish music during this period. While the development of Spanish nationalist music and its important intersections with French music have been studied in numerous texts, little has been written on the English engagement with Spanish music. A key event in defining musical and theatrical Spain in the latter part of the nineteenth century came from France in the guise of George Bizet's Carmen (1875, London 1878). The opera, and its many parodies and theatrical re-workings in London, provides a foundation for discussions of Spanishness in late nineteenth-century England, and influenced the reception of Pablo Sarasate and Isaac Albéniz. In the Edwardian era, closer ties between England and Spain, increased travel possibilities and specialist writers rekindled enthusiasm for Spanish music. The anti- German currents of the pre-war years and the influence of French writers and musicians set the scene for the further English appreciation of Spanish music in the aftermath of the death of Enrique Granados in 1916.
