His love for music showed itself very early, and in 1856 his par- ents took him to England, where he was placed under the teaching of Julius Benedict and John Goss; with these teachers he remained nine years. In 1865 he went to Germany to complete his musical education, studying at the conservatories in Leipzig and Berlin up to 1868, when he returned to England. In 1870 he brought out an operetta. Garibaldi, and a cantata. The Rose Maiden ; in 187 1, incidental music to Schiller's Jutig- frau von Orleans ; in 1872, a festival overture for Norwich; in 1876, a cantata, The Corsair, for the Birmingham Festival. On November 22, 1876, his opera, Pauline, was brought out with great success by the Carl Rosa company at the Lyceum Theatre in London. In 1881 he produced an oratoria, St. Ursula, at the Norwich Festival ; in 1884 his fourth sym- phony, Welsh, was played at the Philharmonic in London; in 1885 a cantata. The Sleeping Beauty, was brought out at the Birmingham Festival in 1887 came his fifth symphony, in F major, and the oratorio, Ruth, at the Worcester Festival. In 1888 he was appointed conductor of the Philharmonic Society, and was given the post of musical director of the Melbourne Centennial Exhibition. Symphony No. 6, in E major, " Idyllic," Frederic Hymen Cowen. (Born at Kingston, Jamaica, on Jan. 29. 1852; still living.) This symphony was first brought out in London, at one of the Richter concerts, in 1897. It was originally written as apiece of program-music, much more definitely so than Beethoven's Pastoral symphony,— and all of the four movements had descriptive headings, some of them quite elabo- rate ; but, whether on account of some rather sharp criticism on this aspect of the symphony, or because the composer had changed his mind of his own accord, none of these headings appear in the published score of the (A Tonic and Nerve Food Horsford's Acid Phosphate.

As published, the sym- phony has nothing to indicate that anything of the program-music sort was contemplated by the composer ; and, as the form in which it is published is evidently in accordance with his final intention, the original headings of the movements are not given here. The first movement. Allegro vivace in E major (6-8 time), opens immedi- ately with the first theme, given out in the tonic by the strings ; this theme is then elaborately developed by fuller and fuller orchestra, the develop- ment at last merging into a subsidiary, in which the rhythm of the dotted triplet is noticeable. A transitional passage, pin mosso (essentially in 2-4 time), leads over to the appearance of the second theme in the strings and wind in the relative C-sharp minor, the dotted-triplet rhythm appearing here, too, toward the end of the development. The third theme — a wav- ing melody in the violins, interrupted by shakes in the flutes and clarinet — appears in the dominant ; its rather extended development closes the first part of the movement, which is repeated. The free fantasia is long and elaborate, ending with an interweaving of fragments of the three themes, and gradually merging into the third part, which begins regularly with the return of the first theme in the tonic. The recapitulation is regular, the third theme coming now in the tonic. There is a long and elaborate'coda. The second movement. Allegro scherzando in A minor (2-4 time), is in a very curious modification of the form of Scherzo and Trio. The first part opens with its first theme, given out by the English-horn alone, then worked up briefly by the strings and wood-wind ; then follows the second theme in the relative C major, and is in its turn briefly developed, a return of the first theme closing this part of the movement. The second part (or Trio), Poco tranquillo in A major, consists in the development of a single theme, in which a triplet figure is characteristic. The third part of the movement — the return of the Scherzo — is not a regular repetition FIVE SONGS New Christmas Anthems From the "Round Rabbit" James H. Rogers. There were shepherds Frank Lynes.

TREHONT (167) of the first, but contains a far more elaborate working-out of the first theme, now pitted against a new counter-theme ; from the point where the second theme comes in, the recapitulation is more regular, and the move- ment closes with a short coda. The third movement, Adagio, molto traiiqidllo in C major (3-4 time), opens with a solemn phrase in the 'celli and double-basses, which is made the subject of contrapuntal developments ; these, with occasional interludes of passage-work, and one or two new figures in the counter- point, fill out the whole movement. Save for a regular " return of the theme " which marks the beginning of a third part, the form would be perfectly free. The fourth movement, Finale : Molfo vivace in E minor (2-2 time), is in a pretty regular sonata form. It opens with the first theme, which, with a subsidiary, is developed at considerable length ; then comes the second theme in E major (6-8 time), which is also quite extendedly developed.

"Weber. " The great success of Der Freischiitz," in 182 1, turned the attention of leading opera managers to Weber, who agreed, with Dominico Barbaja, to write a second opera. Barbaja, it may be said, operated extensively in Southern Europe, but particularly at the Karnthnerthor Theatre, Vienna. After much trouble, Weber accepted a libretto at the hands of Wilhelmine: von Chezy, a blue-stocking from Dresden (whom Hanslick once called witty). This eccentric person laid before him a sketch made from a Ger- man translation of an old French romance, " Histoire de Gerard de Nevers, j et de la belle et vertueuse Euryanthe, sa mie." The opera failed, chiefly because of the utterly meaningless libretto of the Von Chezy, of whom it is " related that, on the night of the first performance of Euryanthe," Oct. 25, 1825, in the Karnthnerthor Theatre, Vienna, coming in rather late, when the aisles were filled, she tried to find her way to the front over the crowd, " exclaiming : Make room, make room for me, I say ! I tell you I am the " poetess ! the poetess ! The opera was mostly written in the summer of 1822, in Hosterlitz, where Weber and his wife and infant son were staying.

  • Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester R M Johnson Phd 2020
    Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester R M Johnson PhD 2020 Musical Networks in Early Victorian Manchester RACHEL MARGARET JOHNSON A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Awarded for a Collaborative Programme of Research at the Royal Northern College of Music by Manchester Metropolitan University 2020 Abstract My dissertation demonstrates how a new and distinctive musical culture developed in the industrialising society of early Victorian Manchester. It challenges a number of existing narratives relating to the history of music in nineteenth-century Britain, and has implications for the way we understand the place of music in other industrial societies and cities. The project is located at the nexus between musicology, cultural history and social history, and draws upon ideas current in urban studies, ethnomusicology and anthropology. Contrary to the oft-repeated claim that it was Charles Hallé who ‘brought music to Manchester’ when he arrived in 1848, my archival research reveals a vast quantity and variety of music-making and consumption in Manchester in the 1830s and 1840s. The interconnectedness of the many strands of this musical culture is inescapable, and it results in my adoption of ‘networks’ as an organising principle. Tracing how the networks were formed, developed and intertwined reveals just how embedded music was in the region’s social and civic life. Ultimately, music emerges as an agent of particular power in the negotiation and transformation of the concerns inherent within the new industrial city. The dissertation is structured as a series of interconnected case studies, exploring areas as diverse as the music profession, glee and catch clubs, the Hargreaves Choral Society’s programme notes, Mechanics’ Institutions and the early Victorian public music lecture.

Of interest is the case of the comic operas where the composer uses parody and allusion to create a persuasive counterpart to the libretto. The thesis attempts to place Sullivan in the context of his time, the conditions under which he worked and to give due weight to the fact that economic necessity often required him to meet the demands of the market. The influence of his early training is examined as well as the impact of the early Romantic German school of composers such as Mendelssohn, Schubert and Schumann.

In Miss Paikin's case this came about through the discernment of that experienced judge and famous conductor, Leopoldo Mugnone, who having heard her at Covent Garden was so favourably impressed that he invited her immediately to go to Italy. Here she was engaged at once to sing Gilda in " Rigoletto " and the title part in "Lucia" at the famous San Carlo Opera House, Naples, and in the result her success was so great that she was immediately re-engaged for a series of thirty-two performances and subsequently sang at all the other leading Italian opera houses, being every- where received with the utmost enthusiasm. Among many notable admirers of this young English artist mention may be made particularly of Mussolini, who congratulated her personally again and again. Another was D'Annunzio, who wished her to appear in an opera based on one of his plays, while more striking still was the testimony of Tetrazzini, who invited her to stay and study with her in Italy so that she might give her the benefit of her own unrivalled experience. A Lancashire girl by birth, whose musical talents attracted attention from the first, it was as a pianist that Miss Paikin began her musical studies at the Royal College of Music, Manchester, although she had her voice trained simultaneously by Mme.
