  • Handel's Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment By
    Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Emeritus John H. Roberts Professor George Haggerty, UC Riverside Professor Kevis Goodman Fall 2013 Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment Copyright 2013 by Jonathan Rhodes Lee ABSTRACT Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Throughout the 1740s and early 1750s, Handel produced a dozen dramatic oratorios. These works and the people involved in their creation were part of a widespread culture of sentiment. This term encompasses the philosophers who praised an innate “moral sense,” the novelists who aimed to train morality by reducing audiences to tears, and the playwrights who sought (as Colley Cibber put it) to promote “the Interest and Honour of Virtue.” The oratorio, with its English libretti, moralizing lessons, and music that exerted profound effects on the sensibility of the British public, was the ideal vehicle for writers of sentimental persuasions. My dissertation explores how the pervasive sentimentalism in England, reaching first maturity right when Handel committed himself to the oratorio, influenced his last masterpieces as much as it did other artistic products of the mid- eighteenth century. When searching for relationships between music and sentimentalism, historians have logically started with literary influences, from direct transferences, such as operatic settings of Samuel Richardson’s Pamela, to indirect ones, such as the model that the Pamela character served for the Ninas, Cecchinas, and other garden girls of late eighteenth-century opera.

  • Is Now the Time to Retire the Star-Spangled Banner? by Daniel Hathaway
    Is now the time to retire The Star-Spangled Banner? by Daniel Hathaway During the recent demonstrations responding to the death of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis, a number of monuments were toppled that represented the racist history of the United States. Among them, in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and elsewhere, statues memorializing Francis Scott Key were pulled down. Key was author of the poem Defence of ​ Fort M’Henry, inspired by the British ​ bombardment in Baltimore Harbor in September 1814, that became the text of The Star-Spangled Banner. Joined to a tune ​ ​ by British composer John Stafford Smith, the song was officially adopted by the U.S. Navy in 1889 and became our National Anthem by resolution of Congress in 1931. The problem with Francis Scott Key, a Baltimore lawyer and district attorney, is that he had owned slaves since 1800. While he went on public record to oppose human trafficking, he also represented the owners of runaway slaves. The problem with his poem is that for 21st-century America, its sentiments seem less and less conducive to uniting a divided nation. The “Star-Spangled Banner” refers to the mammoth flag (originally measuring 30 by 42 feet) with fifteen stars and stripes symbolizing the states that formed the Union at the time. Raised “by dawn’s early light,” the flag, now owned by the Smithsonian Institution, offered proof of an American victory over the British during the War of 1812. Fittingly for the occasion that inspired it, Key’s poem begins with military imagery.

  • Last Night, After Another Wonderful Concert in the Fantastic Setting of the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, We Said Goodbye to the Conchord Ensemble
    Last night, after another wonderful concert in the fantastic setting of the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, we said goodbye to the Conchord Ensemble. We have had three brilliant days with them, and they were a great hit at Parkland Primary School yesterday morning too. However, we can’t dwell on the past - today we look forward to the concert at Newton with Christian Li and Gordon Back at 7.30pm. This concert is a sell-out, but there may be some returns if you want to try on the door, but we can’t guarantee a seat. Today’s concert is sponsored by Mike and Judy Thompson and by Aston Lark Insurance. We are very grateful to them for enabling us to put on this concert. Many of our concerts this year sold out very quickly. You, as Friends, know the benefits of being a Friend and getting priority booking, and this is becoming more and more important as the popularity of the Gower Festival increases year on year. Therefore, if you have any friends who enjoy coming to the concerts, but are not Friends of the Gower Festival, do encourage them to join us. On Saturday we have two concerts! The first is at 1.00pm at Gowerton School (SA4 3DL) and is a Children’s Concert - a concert for adults and children, at which the performers are all children from Gowerton School and Ysgol Gyfun Gŵyr. Please do come along and support these youngsters if you are able to. Both schools have a strong musical tradition and have produced some notable musicians including Sir Karl Jenkins, Alun Hoddinott, Mark Thomas, Dennis O’Neill, John Hugh Thomas etc.

  • The Star-Spangled Banner from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia "The Star-Spangled Banner " Is the National Anthem of the United States of America
    The Star-Spangled Banner From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "The Star-Spangled Banner " is the national anthem of the United States of America. The lyrics come from "Defence of Fort McHenry", a poem written in 1814 by the 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet, Francis Scott Key, after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British Royal Navy ships in Chesapeake Bay during the Battle of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. The poem was set to the tune of a popular British drinking song, written by John Stafford Smith for the Anacreontic Society, a men's social club in London. "The Anacreontic Song" (or "To Anacreon in Heaven"), with various lyrics, was already popular in the United States. Set to Key's poem and renamed "The Star-Spangled Banner", it would soon become a well-known American patriotic song. With a range of one and a half octaves, it is known for being difficult to sing. Although the song has four stanzas, only the first is commonly sung today, with the fourth ("O! thus be it ever when free men shall stand...") added on more formal occasions. The fourth stanza includes the line "And this be our motto: In God is our Trust.". The United States adopted "In God We Trust" as its national motto in 1956. "The Star-Spangled Banner" was recognized for official use by the Navy in 1889 and the President in 1916, and was made the national anthem by a congressional resolution on March 3, 1931 (46 Stat. 1508, codified at 36 U.S.C.

Banner Moments: The National Anthem in American Life Unlike the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, or even the American Flag, Francis Scott Key’s song “The Star-Spangled Banner” lacks a singular icon that defines it. Rather the song must be brought to life through performance. Individuals sing the anthem into a fleeting materiality, simultaneously constructing themselves as a community while inscribing the song ever more deeply into cultural memory. The artifacts in this exhibit capture material iterations of the song and thus record the crystallization of an American national consciousness.

  • The Academy of Ancient Music at the Close of the 18Th Century: a Study Into the Background of Samuel Arnold’S Appointment As Conductor at the Academy YOSHIE Hidekazu
    The Academy of Ancient Music at the Close of the 18th Century: A Study into the Background of Samuel Arnold’s Appointment as Conductor at the Academy YOSHIE Hidekazu The Academy of Ancient Music, which was founded in 1726 and aimed to revive the sacred music and madrigals of the 16th and 17th Century, entered upon an era of reform in the 1780s. At that time, the Academy commenced to give public concerts, whose diverse programmes consisted of modern works, such as compositions of Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), as well as those of George Frederic Handel (1685-1759). Meanwhile it was beset with financial problems and internal conflict between its younger directors and older ones. At the end of 1789 Samuel Arnold (1740-1802) was appointed to the conductor at the Academy after Benjamin Cooke (1734-93) resigned the post. However, the circumstances within the Academy have not been fully researched. The author of this paper intends to elucidate the reasons behind this conflict by researching further the managers of the Academy since the 1780s. In the course of his study the author confirms that some of the members of the Glee Club, especially Robert Smith (1740/1-1810) - the founder of the club -, took up important posts at the Academy before and after Arnold’s appointment as the conductor. Hence, it is concluded that the members must have played a key role in Arnold’s appointment. In his paper the author also focuses on the reasons why Arnold was appointed through a study of the changes of the concert programmes at the Academy.

  • A Season in Federal Street J
    A Season In Federal Street J. B. W^illiamson and the Boston Theatre 1796-1797 BY JOHN ALDEN F each autumn brings with it its own atmosphere of ex- I citement and suspense at the opening of a new theater season, we who experience it share no doubt a feeling as old as the theater itself. And we can the more readily project ourselves backwards to the evening of September 19, 1796, when the curtains of the Boston Theatre parted upon the first scene of Reynolds's comedy, The Dramatist. Emotions on both sides of the footlights may well have resembled ours today: optimistic anticipation tempered by an awareness of the uncertain fortunes of the stage. The fact of the matter is that the season of 1796-97 in Federal Street was a disastrous one. But the very misfor- tunes of the ten months in question provide the substance of our interest in it today. Had the season been a successful one, it would probably mean that we should know less about it, for the disasters which fell upon the Theatre have left their skeletons from which it is now possible to recon- struct more effectively the theatrical life of Boston over a century and a half ago. It is true that both W. W. Clapp in his Record of the Boston Stage (Boston, 1853) and G. O. Seilhamer in his History of the American Theatre (Philadelphia, 1881-91) have already given a generous picture of the early drama in Boston. There remains, however, a copious body of documentation regarding the Federal Street Theatre from which much IO AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY [April, may be learned.
