  • GILBERT and SULLIVAN: Part 1
    GILBERT AND SULLIVAN: Part 1 GILBERT AND SULLIVAN Part 1: The Correspondence, Diaries, Literary Manuscripts and Prompt Copies of W. S. Gilbert (1836-1911) from the British Library, London Contents listing PUBLISHER'S NOTE CONTENTS OF REELS CHRONOLOGY 1836-1911 DETAILED LISTING GILBERT AND SULLIVAN: Part 1 Publisher's Note "The world will be a long while forgetting Gilbert and Sullivan. Every Spring their great works will be revived. … They made enormous contributions to the pleasure of the race. They left the world merrier than they found it. They were men whose lives were rich with honest striving and high achievement and useful service." H L Mencken Baltimore Evening Sun, 30 May 1911 If you want to understand Victorian culture and society, then the Gilbert and Sullivan operas are an obvious starting point. They simultaneously epitomised and lampooned the spirit of the age. Their productions were massively successful in their own day, filling theatres all over Britain. They were also a major Victorian cultural export. A new show in New York raised a frenzy at the box office and Harper's New Monthly Magazine (Feb 1886) stated that the "two men have the power of attracting thousands and thousands of people daily for months to be entertained”. H L Mencken's comments of 1911 have proved true. Gilbert & Sullivan societies thrive all over the world and new productions continue to spring up in the West End and on Broadway, in Buxton and Harrogate, in Cape Town and Sydney, in Tokyo and Hong Kong, in Ottawa and Philadelphia. Some of the topical references may now be lost, but the basis of the stories in universal myths and the attack of broad targets such as class, bureaucracy, the legal system, horror and the abuse of power are as relevant today as they ever were.

  • Precious Nonsense NEWSLETTER of the MIDWESTERN GILBERT and SULLIVAN SOCIETY November 1995 -- Issue 46
    Precious Nonsense NEWSLETTER OF THE MIDWESTERN GILBERT AND SULLIVAN SOCIETY November 1995 -- Issue 46 As is invariably the case, it's been one thing after another lately. Thanks to Michaem Miano and Carol Lee Cole, we have something ready-made to put in the Nonsense. Once things cool slow down at work, S/A Cole will have time to go through the piles of material, and put out a full-blown issue. Michael Miano and Carol Lee Cole both submitted their pieces in computer-readable form, and they appear here as they were submitted (I may spell-check them, but that'll be about it). While the Nonsense doesn't necessarily stand for an unrestricted press, its editorial staff certainly believes in letting people express their opinions. And if readers want to debate points, that's great. S/A Cole will be happy to forward messages. Anyway, it ought to make for interesting reading. Sarah Cole thanks all the membership of the Midwestern Gilbert and Sullivan Society for their patience over the last two years; and especially thanks the other G&S societies, who have been tremendously indulgent with the MGS's difficulties. We hope to return the kindness some day. In the meantime, here's what we've got. Oh Members, How Say You, What Is it You've The 1995 MGS Big Quiz Answers Done? At first, these weren't going to be included. As you may recall, Earlier this year, in which the Fiftieth the quiz came from the book Guess Again (James Monahan and Tom anniversary of the end of World War II was Davin.

  • The Lost Chord, the Holy City and Williamsport, Pennsylvania
    THE LOST CHORD, THE HOLY CITY AND WILLIAMSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA by Solomon Goodman, 1994 Editor's Introduction: Our late nineteenth century forbears were forever integrating the sacred and the secular. Studies of that era that attempt to focus on one or the other are doomed to miss the behind-the-scenes connections that provide the heart and soul informing the recorded events. While ostensibly unfolding the story of several connected pieces of sacred and popular music, this paper captures some of the romance and religion, the intellect and intrigue, the history and histrionics of those upon whose heritage we now build. The material presented comes from one of several ongoing research projects of the author, whose main interest is in music copyrighting. While a few United Methodist and Central Pennsylvania references have been inserted into the text at appropriate places, the style and focus are those of the author. We thank Mr. Goodman for allowing THE CHRONICLE to reproduce the fruits of his labor in this form. THE LOST CHORD One of the most popular composers of his day, Sir Arthur Sullivan is a strong candidate for the most talented and versatile secular/sacred, light/serious composer ever. This accomplished organist and author of stately hymns (including "Onward, Christian Soldiers"), is also the light-hearted composer of Gilbert and Sullivan operetta fame. During and immediately following his lifetime, however, his most successful song was the semi-sacred "The Lost Chord." In 1876 Sullivan's brother Fred, to whom he was deeply attached, fell ill and lingered for three weeks before dying.

  • Midwestern Gilbert and Sullivan Society
    NEWSLETTER OF THE MIDWESTERN GILBERT AND SULLIVAN SOCIETY September 1990 -- Issue 27 But the night has been long, Ditto, Ditto my song, And thank goodness they're both of 'em over! It isn't so much that the night was long, but that the Summer was (or wasn't, as the case may be). This was not one of S/A Cole's better seasons: in June, her family moved to Central Illinois; in July, the computer had a head crash that took until August to fix, and in that month, she was tired and sick from all the summer excitement. But, tush, I am puling. Now that Autumn is nearly here, things are getting back to normal (such as that is). Since there was no summer Nonsense, there is all kinds of stuff in this issue, including the answers to the Big Quiz, an extended "Where Can it Be?/The G&S Shopper", reports on the Sullivan Festival and MGS Annual Outing, and an analysis of Thomas Stone's The Savoyards' Patience. Let's see what's new. First of all, we owe the Savoy-Aires an apology. Oh, Members, How Say You, S/A Cole had sincerely believed that an issue of the What is it You've Done? Nonsense would be out in time to promote their summer production of Yeomen. As we know now, Member David Michaels appeared as the "First no Nonsense came out, and the May one didn't even Yeomen" in the Savoy-Aires' recent production of mention their address. Well, we're going to start to The Yeomen of the Guard.
