Cover Image: Item 49 (Original Photograph of a Jug Band, c. 1900) Schubertiade Music & Arts 617-308-4019 [email protected] https://www.schubertiademusic.com New York Book Fair 2020 Catalog 1. [American Music] Gifford, Isaac. (1772-1843) Decorated Tenor Partbook from Early American Fa-Sol-La Tradition, dated 1797. Autograph musical manuscript, dated 1797, approx. 70 pp., handwritten in ink throughout, followed by additional blank leaves and containing nearly 50 songs in total (with titles such as "French tune", "London tune", "York tune", "Dundee tune", "Dublin tune", "Martyrs tune", "Aby tune", "Newton tune", St. David's tune", etc.), consisting of a combination of popular tunes from the period and apparently original compositions penned by Isaac Gifford. Entries are embellished throughout the book with assorted decorative border patterns painstakingly hand-drawn by Gifford. 3.75 × 6.5 inches (9.5 × 16.5 cm), leather-backed paper-covered boards. Cover worn and partially detached, some loose leaves, one leaf lacking, scattered staining and minor tearing, mild toning, ink bold and legible throughout. A fascinating early American manuscript music book kept by Isaac Gifford of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, founded just ten years previous, in 1787. This manuscript is an early witness of the American singing tradition that encompassed shape-note singing and the Sacred Harp. The present collection is a partbook for the “tenner” or tenor voice, which in this tradition sang the melody in the middle of a texture, harmonized by higher and lower voices. Its notation was designed for readers and singers who possessed differing kinds of musical literacy. Instead of note heads, the letters F, S, L, and M were written on a five-line staff: the whole-step syllables fa-sol-la repeated within the octave, along with the half-step syllable mi. In the present manuscript, a single tune is given on each opening of the book: the musical staff with letter notation on the right (recto) and the metrical verse text on the left (preceding verso). Most texts are iambic (weak-strong syllable pairs; 8.6.8.6). This regular meter allowed for interchangeability among texts and melodies; for instance, no. 44, Rochester, sets the well- known text of "Joy to the World" to a different tune. Many texts meditate upon devotional themes, including death and grace, although not for singing in worship; the collection also includes love songs and songs with profane references, such as tobacco (no. 30) and Virgil (no. 40). Unpaginated with numbered tunes. Two gaps in tune numbering (between nos. 4 and 6; and nos. 44 and 47) suggest scribal error or lacking leaves. The compiler of this manuscript was born in New Jersey and spent most of his life in Tell Township, Pennsylvania. Historical records indicate he and his wife Sarah Cluggage Gifford (1781–1827) had eleven children, some whose names appear in the book towards the end. Isaac Gifford's ownership inscription to front flyleaf indicates he purchased the volume from noted merchant Peter Swoope [aka Swope] (1763–1839) in the borough of Huntingdon. Swoope was "engaged in the merchandising and the iron business, and accumulated a nice fortune." (see History of the Swope Family and Their Connections, 1678–1896 by Gilbert Ernest Swope, 1896, p. 364). The borough of Huntingdon had just been incorporated the previous year, in 1796. Isaac Gifford traversed a distance of about 35 miles from the rural township of Tell to the county's population center of Huntingdon where he purchased book from Swoope. The tunes are numbered and captioned as follows, with incipits: 1. French tune (O franch thou art plesent Land) 2. London tune (When jacobs Days drew near an End) 3. York tune (O york thou art a plesent tune) 4. Dundee tune (My Dearest dear take me along) 6. Dublin tune (I Love the prity virtuous Maid) 7. Martyrs tune (This is the tune the Martyrs sung) 1 8.

(1606/7–1697) & Blow, John. (1648/9–1708) & Aldrich, Henry. (1648–1710) etc Seventeenth-Century English Anthems and Services—Manuscript Partbook. Original manuscript partbook, containing bass parts to 38 verse anthems and pieces of church music by some of the most important English composers of the seventeenth century - including Thomas Wilkinson, Orlando Gibbons, Henry Lawes, Pelham Humfrey, Michael Wise, William Child, John Blow, and Henry Aldrich - as well as by a remarkable assortment of rarely attested composers including John Hutchinson (son of organist Richard Hutchinson, and organist of 2 York Minster); Thomas Mudd (organist of Peterborough and Exeter cathedrals and of York Minster); William Tucker (Gentleman of the Chapel Royal); George Loosemore (organist of Jesus College and of Trinity College, Cambridge); Benjamin Rogers (organist at Eton and Magdalen College, Oxford); Thomas Tudway (Professor of Music at Cambridge); John Badger; and William Ottis (alias Otty or Ottey). Stamped or inscribed on the covers with "BASSUS CANTORIS" (the bass of the cantor's side, rather than the dean's side, of the choir in the English cathedral tradition), this book was in active use at an English cathedral. The volume is dated and initialed "C. I. H. Decem. 31 1699" to one of the front free endpapers and it is possible that some of the writing dates from a somewhat earlier or later period. Multiple hands are evident, including square and round styles of notation. On verso of the final, trimmed leaf of service music: the addition in pencil of an untexted Anglican chant for SATB in B-flat major by Maurice Greene, matching an untitled version scored for organ from Hereford Cathedral, first half of 18th c., GB-H 30.A.30, p. 126. Text-block 8 × 12 1/4 inches (20 × 31 cm). Several pages missing or partially torn out. Pages neatly ruled 10 staves to the page. Fully notated with text underlay. Most titles at the head of each piece with the composer's name at conclusion. Music has been copied into the book from both ends.

  • Antonio Salieri's Revenge
    Antonio Salieri’s Revenge newyorker.com/magazine/2019/06/03/antonio-salieris-revenge By Alex Ross 1/13 Many composers are megalomaniacs or misanthropes. Salieri was neither. Illustration by Agostino Iacurci On a chilly, wet day in late November, I visited the Central Cemetery, in Vienna, where 2/13 several of the most familiar figures in musical history lie buried. In a musicians’ grove at the heart of the complex, Beethoven, Schubert, and Brahms rest in close proximity, with a monument to Mozart standing nearby. According to statistics compiled by the Web site Bachtrack, works by those four gentlemen appear in roughly a third of concerts presented around the world in a typical year. Beethoven, whose two-hundred-and-fiftieth birthday arrives next year, will supply a fifth of Carnegie Hall’s 2019-20 season. When I entered the cemetery, I turned left, disregarding Beethoven and company. Along the perimeter wall, I passed an array of lesser-known but not uninteresting figures: Simon Sechter, who gave a counterpoint lesson to Schubert; Theodor Puschmann, an alienist best remembered for having accused Wagner of being an erotomaniac; Carl Czerny, the composer of piano exercises that have tortured generations of students; and Eusebius Mandyczewski, a magnificently named colleague of Brahms. Amid these miscellaneous worthies, resting beneath a noble but unpretentious obelisk, is the composer Antonio Salieri, Kapellmeister to the emperor of Austria. I had brought a rose, thinking that the grave might be a neglected and cheerless place. Salieri is one of history’s all-time losers—a bystander run over by a Mack truck of malicious gossip.

  • Framing a Critical, Interdisciplinary Approach to Film: Teaching Amadeus
    Framing a Critical, Interdisciplinary Approach to Film: Teaching Amadeus Nancy Rachel November, University of Auckland Brenda Allen, University of Auckland ow might I interpret the film Amadeus as a Mozart reception doc- ument of the 1980s?” “What does ‘authenticity’ mean in relation to that film’s soundtrack and screenplay?” “How is Salieri char- “Hacterized in the film, and why?” These are the sorts of questions one might wish that students would formulate when considering the popular music biopic (biographical film) Amadeus in relation to music history. The reality can be quite different. Surveys of second year Music History students at the University of Auckland in 2012-2014 show that they tend to view music history as estab- lished fact, and have great difficulty posing complex critical questions and constructing critical, evidence-based arguments. Most writers on the subject of historical literacy agree that the ability to read, write and think critically about a range of media is an especially valuable skill. These abilities not only serve stu- dents’ immediate studies within historical disciplines, but also enable graduates “to negotiate and create the complex texts of the Information Age.”1 This is espe- cially true of music history: one can draw on a broad range of sonic, visual and digital media to answer the increasingly varied questions that music historians address. But how is one to help students prepare for the interdisciplinary skills, attitudes and understandings this requires? How do we best equip students to analyze and read critically the films, YouTube clips, cartoons and diverse other source material they might want and need to study? One useful way to address such questions is for music history teachers to bring co-teachers from other disciplines in to a given music history course: a cartoon historian, for example, or a teacher from film studies, as befits the sub- ject matter.

  • History of Jazz Tenor Saxophone Black Artists
    HISTORY OF JAZZ TENOR SAXOPHONE BLACK ARTISTS 1940 – 1944 SIMPLIFIED EDITION INTRODUCTION UPDATE SIMPLIFIED EDITION I have decided not to put on internet the ‘red’ Volume 3 in my Jazz Solography series on “The History of Jazz Tenor Saxophone – Black Artists 1940 – 1944”. Quite a lot of the main performers already have their own Jazz Archeology files. This volume will only have the remainders, and also auxiliary material like status reports, chronology, summing ups, statistics, etc. are removed, to appear later in another context. This will give better focus on the many good artists who nevertheless not belong to the most important ones. Jan Evensmo June 22, 2015 INTRODUCTION ORIGINAL EDITION What is there to say? That the period 1940 - 1944 is a most exciting one, presenting the tenorsax giants of the swing era in their prime, while at the same time introducing the young, talented modern innovators. That this is the last volume with no doubt about the contents, we know what is jazz and what is not. Later it will not be that easy! That the recording activities grow decade by decade, thus this volume is substantially thicker than the previous ones. Just wait until Vol. 4 appears ... That the existence of the numerous AFRS programs partly compensates for the unfortunate recording ban of 1943. That there must be a lot of material around not yet generally available and thus not listed in this book. Please help building up our jazz knowledge base, and share your treasures with the rest of us. That we should remember and be eternally grateful to the late Jerry Newman, whose recording activities at Minton's and Monroe's have given us valuable insight into the developments of modern jazz.
