There Is an Old Belief Charles Hubert Hastings Parry (1848-1918) There is an old belief aus “Songs of Farewell” für vierstimmigen Chor (SATB) a cappella Hrsg. Christian Bährens & Matthias Knop © 2020 Christian Bährens There is an old belief, Es gibt einen alten Glauben, That on some solemn shore, dass an einem erhabenen Ufer, Beyond the sphere of grief jenseits aller Trauer, Dear friends shall meet once more. geliebte Freunde sich wiedertreffen werden, Beyond the sphere of Time jenseits aller Zeit And Sin and Fate's control, und fern der Sünde und der Macht des Schicksals, Serene in changeless prime gelassen in beständigem Blühen Of body and of soul. von Körper und Seele. That creed I fain would keep Diesen Glauben will ich bewahren, That hope I'll ne'er forgo, von dieser Hoffnung werde ich niemals lassen; Eternal be the sleep, ewig sei der Schlaf If not to waken so. ohne dieses Erwachen. John Gibson Lockhart Übersetzung: Christian Bährens John Gibson Lockhart war ein schottischer Schriftsteller und Verleger und neben einigen Romanen vor allem durch die Biographie über das Leben und Wirken seines Schwiegervaters Sir Walter Scott bekannt. Er studierte Jura in Glasgow und OXford und ging nach Edinburgh, wechselte dort bald zur Literatur und wurde Mitarbeiter des politisch engagierten Blackwood’s Magazine, für das er neben literaturkritischen Artikeln auch Übersetzungen spanischer Lyrik in Englische verfasste. Durch den Einfluss Scotts avancierte er zum Herausgeber des Quarterly Review und schrieb später erneut eine viel beachtete Biographie, diesmal über den schottischen Nationaldichter Robert Burns. Charles Hubert Hastings Parry wurde in eine wohlhabende Familie geboren und genoss die denkbar beste Ausbildung. Bereits als Schüler erhielt er in OXford den Bachelor of Music, arbeitete aber auf Drängen des Vaters zunächst bei der Versicherungsfirma Lloyds in London. Sein Talent als Komponist und Musikwissenschaftler brachten ihm schließlich eine Professur am Royal College of Music in London ein und er wurde Lehrer bedeutender englischer Komponisten wie Holst und Vaughan Williams. Sein berühmtes Chorlied Jerusalem wurde ähnlich wie Elgars Land of Hope and Glory zu einer zweiten Nationalhymne. Nicht wenige Zeitgenossen sahen Parry als den bedeutendsten englischen Komponisten seit Purcell. There is an old belief ist ein Teil der Songs of Farewell, die Parry in den Jahren 1916-18 komponierte. Sie entstanden unter dem Eindruck des furchtbaren Weltkriegs, in dessen Verlauf viele Musikstudenten Parrys in den Schützengräben ums Leben kamen. Vor dem Hintergrund dieses schmerzlichen Verlustes ist seine TeXtauswahl zu verstehen. Parry erlebte das Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges nicht mehr.

  • The Crucifixion: Stainer's Invention of the Anglican Passion
    The Crucifixion: Stainer’s Invention of the Anglican Passion and Its Subsequent Influence on Descendent Works by Maunder, Somervell, Wood, and Thiman Matthew Hoch Abstract The Anglican Passion is a largely forgotten genre that flourished in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Modeled distinctly after the Lutheran Passion— particularly in its use of congregational hymns that punctuate and comment upon the drama—Anglican Passions also owe much to the rise of hymnody and small parish music-making in England during the latter part of the nineteenth century. John Stainer’s The Crucifixion (1887) is a quintessential example of the genre and the Anglican Passion that is most often performed and recorded. This article traces the origins of the genre and explores lesser-known early twentieth-century Anglican Passions that are direct descendants of Stainer’s work. Four works in particular will be reviewed within this historical context: John Henry Maunder’s Olivet to Calvary (1904), Arthur Somervell’s The Passion of Christ (1914), Charles Wood’s The Passion of Our Lord according to St Mark (1920), and Eric Thiman’s The Last Supper (1930). Examining these works in a sequential order reveals a distinct evolution and decline of the genre over the course of these decades, with Wood’s masterpiece standing as the towering achievement of the Anglican Passion genre in the immediate aftermath of World War I. The article concludes with a call for reappraisal of these underperformed works and their potential use in modern liturgical worship. A Brief History of the Passion Genre from the sung in plainchant, and this practice continued Medieval Era to the Eighteenth Century through the late medieval and early Renaissance eras.

WRITER, READER, AND RHETORIC IN JOHN GIBSON LOCKHART’S MEMOIRS OF THE LIFE OF SIR WALTER SCOTT, BART. Gerald P. Mulderig “[W]hat can the best character in any novel ever be, compared to a full- length of the reality of genius?” asked John Gibson Lockhart in his 1831 review of John Wilson Croker’s edition of Boswell’s Life of Johnson.1 Like many of his contemporaries in the early decades of the nineteenth century, Lockhart regarded Boswell’s dramatic recreation of domestic scenes as an intrusive and doubtfully appropriate advance in biographical method, but also like his contemporaries, he could not resist a biography that opened a window on what he described with Wordsworthian ardor as “that rare order of beings, the rarest, the most influential of all, whose mere genius entitles and enables them to act as great independent controlling powers upon the general tone of thought and feeling of their kind” (ibid.).

  • Disfigurement and Disability: Walter Scott's Bodies Fiona Robertson Were I Conscious of Any Thing Peculiar in My Own Moral
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by St Mary's University Open Research Archive Disfigurement and Disability: Walter Scott’s Bodies Fiona Robertson Were I conscious of any thing peculiar in my own moral character which could render such development [a moral lesson] necessary or useful, I would as readily consent to it as I would bequeath my body to dissection if the operation could tend to point out the nature and the means of curing any peculiar malady.1 This essay considers conflicts of corporeality in Walter Scott’s works, critical reception, and cultural status, drawing on recent scholarship on the physical in the Romantic Period and on considerations of disability in modern and contemporary poetics. Although Scott scholarship has said little about the significance of disability as something reconfigured – or ‘disfigured’ – in his writings, there is an increasing interest in the importance of the body in Scott’s work. This essay offers new directions in interpretation and scholarship by opening up several distinct, though interrelated, aspects of the corporeal in Scott. It seeks to demonstrate how many areas of Scott’s writing – in poetry and prose, and in autobiography – and of Scott’s critical and cultural standing, from Lockhart’s biography to the custodianship of his library at Abbotsford, bear testimony to a legacy of disfigurement and substitution. In the ‘Memoirs’ he began at Ashestiel in April 1808, Scott described himself as having been, in late adolescence, ‘rather disfigured than disabled’ by his lameness.2 Begun at his rented house near Galashiels when he was 36, in the year in which he published his recursive poem Marmion and extended his already considerable fame as a poet, the Ashestiel ‘Memoirs’ were continued in 1810-11 (that is, still before the move to Abbotsford), were revised and augmented in 1826, and ten years later were made public as the first chapter of John Gibson Lockhart’s Memoirs of the Life of Sir Walter Scott, Bart.

    John Keats 1 John Keats John Keats Portrait of John Keats by William Hilton. National Portrait Gallery, London Born 31 October 1795 Moorgate, London, England Died 23 February 1821 (aged 25) Rome, Italy Occupation Poet Alma mater King's College London Literary movement Romanticism John Keats (/ˈkiːts/; 31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was an English Romantic poet. He was one of the main figures of the second generation of Romantic poets along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, despite his work only having been in publication for four years before his death.[1] Although his poems were not generally well received by critics during his life, his reputation grew after his death, so that by the end of the 19th century he had become one of the most beloved of all English poets. He had a significant influence on a diverse range of poets and writers. Jorge Luis Borges stated that his first encounter with Keats was the most significant literary experience of his life.[2] The poetry of Keats is characterised by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analysed in English literature. Biography Early life John Keats was born in Moorgate, London, on 31 October 1795, to Thomas and Frances Jennings Keats. There is no clear evidence of his exact birthplace.[3] Although Keats and his family seem to have marked his birthday on 29 October, baptism records give the date as the 31st.[4] He was the eldest of four surviving children; his younger siblings were George (1797–1841), Thomas (1799–1818), and Frances Mary "Fanny" (1803–1889) who eventually married Spanish author Valentín Llanos Gutiérrez.[5] Another son was lost in infancy.

  • Symphony No. 2 "Cambridge" Overture to an Unwritten Tragedy Symphonic Variations
    Hubert PARRY Symphony No. 2 "Cambridge" Overture to an Unwritten Tragedy Symphonic Variations Royal Scottish National Orchestra Andrew Penny Charles Hubert Parry (1848 - 1918) Overture to an Unwritten Tragedy Symphony No. 2 in F major, 'The Cambridge' Symphonic Variations in E majorlminor Sir Hubert Parry came from a family of some distinction. He was the second son, and third surviving child of Thomas Gambier Parry by his first wife. His father's maternal great-uncle was Lord Gambier, Admiral of the Fleet, whose name he had taken, while Thomas Parry himself inherited a fortune from his own father, a director in the East India Company. Hubert Parry was educated at Eton, where he was able to distinguish himself in music, not so much in the desultory musical atmosphere that then obtained at the College, but through association with George Elvey at St George's Chapel, Windsor, and from Elvey he was at least able to have sound enough technical instruction and compose music for the choir. While at school he took the Oxford Bachelor of Music degree, the requirements of which, it must be said, have changed considerably since Parry's time. At Oxford he made the most of the musical opportunities offered, continuing, as at school, to compose music, particularly songs and sacred music and to enjoy informal musical gatherings, although his university studies were in law and history. During this period he was able to study, in a long vacation, with Henry Hugo Pierson in Stuttgart. Parry enjoyed an association with the Herbert family, notably with his school-friend George Herbert, 13th Earl of Pembroke.

  • Twilight of the Godless: the Unlikely Friendship of Francis Jeffrey and Thomas Carlyle
    Twilight of the Godless: The Unlikely Friendship of Francis Jeffrey and Thomas Carlyle WILLIAM CHRISTIE Edin r 13 Feb y 1830 My Dear Carlyle I am glad you think my regard for you a Mystery - as I am aware that must be its highest recommendation - I take it in an humbler sense - and am content to think it natural that one man of a kind heart should feel attracted towards another - and that a signal purity and loftiness of character, joined to great talents and something of a romantic history, should excite interest and respect. (NLS MS. 787, ff. 52-3) i I The Thomas Carlyle who knocked on Francis Jeffrey’s door at 92 George Street Edinburgh early in February of 1827 was not a young man. He was thirty two. And though Carlyle was of humble, country origins — he was the child of a rural stonemason turned small farmer — this was by no means his first time in the big city, having come here as a university student eighteen years before in 1809. Carlyle at thirty two, however, was as yet comparatively unknown, if not unpublished. His major publications — a translation of Goethe’s Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship (1824) and a Life of Schiller (1825) — had not brought his name before the English speaking reading public, probably because German thought and German literature simply did not interest them enough. Thomas Carlyle was an ambitious man and never doubted his own ability, but he must at this time have doubted his chances of success, and he had just added a young wife, Jane Welsh Carlyle, to his responsibilities.
