Boston Symphony Orchestra Concert Programs, Season 19, 1899 mm PIANOFORTES WERE FOUND WORTHY OF A HIGHER DISTINCTION THAN ALL OTHERS AT THE Philadelphia National Export Exposition, iS99* The Mason & Hamlin Pianos received the very Highest Honors, and were the only pianos to receive such at the Philadelphia National Export Exposition; for in the case of the Mason & Hamlin Pianos the Jury of Awards did not rest by giving the Highest Medal in their power, but, finding these instruments so distinguished by their tone quality and general su- periority as to place them in a class by themselves, the Jury referred them to the Committee of Science and Arts of the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, specially recommending that an extra exceptional Medal be bestowed. The Pianofortes of no other maker were recog- nized by the Jury of Awards as meriting this signal distinction. A complete stock of these instruments may be seen at the ware rooms of M.

(604) Overture to " King Lear," Opus 4. Hector Berlioz, (Born at la Cote-Saint-Andre, Isere, France, on Dec. n, 1803; died in Paris on March 9, 1S69.) • This overture was written at Nice and Rome in May, 183 1, and first performed at the Conservatoire in Paris under Habeneck's direction, on December 9, 1832. It was Berlioz's first work on a Shaksperean subject. The following account of how this overture was written is given by Berlioz himself in his Memoires : — And here I am, breathing in the balmy air of Nice to the full extent of my lungs; here are life and joy flying toward me, music kissing me, and the future smilling upon me ; and I stop in Nice a whole month, wandering through the orange-groves, diving in the sea, sleeping on the mountain heaths of Villafranca, looking from those radiant heights at the ships coming, passing by, and silently vanishing in the distance. I live wholly alone, and write the overture to King Lear. I sing. I believe in God. Con- valescence has set in. It is thus that I passed in Nice the happiest twenty days of my life ; O Nizza! But the police of the king of Sardinia came again to disturb my peaceful happiness and to force me to put an end to it. I had at last exchanged a few words with two officers of the Piedmontese garrison at the cafe ; I even played a game of billiards with them one day ; that was enough to inspire the chief of police with grave suspicions on my account. " Evidently this young French musician has not come to Nice to attend the perform- ances of Matilda di Sabran" (the only work that was to be heard there then), "for he never goes to the theatre. He spends whole days on the rocks of Villafranca ... he is expecting a signal from some revolutionary vessel ... he does not dine, at least not at the table cThdte . .so as to avoid insidious conversations with secret agents. We see him secretly leaguing himself with the heads of our regiments ... he is going to enter upon negotiations with them in the name of Young Italy ; it is clear as day, a, most " flagrant case of conspiracy ! great man! profound politician !

" Who lived, according to Shakspere, some eighteen hundred years ago, and was weak enough to divide his kingdom between two rascally daughters, who turned him out of doors when he had no more left to give them.

So please to tell me where you intend going, and your passport will be delivered to you ; you must not stay in Nice any longer." " Then I will go back to Rome, arid continue composing without a pianoforte, with your permission." So it was done. I left Nice the next day, very much against my will, it is true, but with a light heart and full of allegria, thoroughly alive, and thoroughly cured. The slow introduction (Andante non iroppo lento, ma maestoso, in 4-4 time) begins with a stern, powerful phrase in the violas, 'celli, and double- basses, which somehow reminds one of Lear's Go, tell the duke and 's wife, I'd speak with them, Now, presently : bid them come forth and hear me, Or at their chamber door I'll beat the drum, Till it cry sleep to death, CLAYTON JOHNS' NEW WORKS FOR PIANO Songs of Love and Nature.

Today we play music from American Idol winner Scotty McCreery ... And we answer a question about American whiskey ... But first, it is history at the movie theater where a new film opens about former law enforcement chief J. Edgar Hoover. "J. Edgar" DOUG JOHNSON: The movie "J. Edgar" opens across America today. The film is about J. Edgar Hoover, the first director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Hoover was a complex and powerful man. He helped develop the FBI into an efficient and effective crime solving agency. However, in later years, many people 2 questioned the methods used by Hoover and his investigators. Bob Doughty tells more about the man and the movie. BOB DOUGHTY: Clint Eastwood directed the movie "J. Edgar." He grew up in the time when, in his words, "Hoover was always top cop." Eastwood said he had heard different stories about the former FBI director. Some of them were very critical. But Eastwood said anybody who stays in a job as long as Hoover did is going to create some enemies. J. Edgar Hoover was the leader of the FBI and the agency it developed from for almost fifty years.

  • Scaramouche and the Commedia Dell'arte
    Scaramouche Sibelius’s horror story Eija Kurki © Finnish National Opera and Ballet archives / Tenhovaara Scaramouche. Ballet in 3 scenes; libr. Paul [!] Knudsen; mus. Sibelius; ch. Emilie Walbom. Prod. 12 May 1922, Royal Dan. B., CopenhaGen. The b. tells of a demonic fiddler who seduces an aristocratic lady; afterwards she sees no alternative to killinG him, but she is so haunted by his melody that she dances herself to death. Sibelius composed this, his only b. score, in 1913. Later versions by Lemanis in Riga (1936), R. HiGhtower for de Cuevas B. (1951), and Irja Koskkinen [!] in Helsinki (1955). This is the description of Sibelius’s Scaramouche, Op. 71, in The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Ballet. Initially, however, Sibelius’s Scaramouche was not a ballet but a pantomime. It was completed in 1913, to a Danish text of the same name by Poul Knudsen, with the subtitle ‘Tragic Pantomime’. The title of the work refers to Italian theatre, to the commedia dell’arte Scaramuccia character. Although the title of the work is Scaramouche, its main character is the female dancing role Blondelaine. After Scaramouche was completed, it was then more or less forgotten until it was published five years later, whereupon plans for a performance were constantly being made until it was eventually premièred in 1922. Performances of Scaramouche have 1 attracted little attention, and also Sibelius’s music has remained unknown. It did not become more widely known until the 1990s, when the first full-length recording of this remarkable composition – lasting more than an hour – appeared. Previous research There is very little previous research on Sibelius’s Scaramouche.

  • Refocusing the Digital Lens of Idiomaticity: a Second Look at Understanding Idiomaticity in CALL1 John I
    Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research 6(2), (July, 2018) 1-21 1 Content list available at http://ijltr.urmia.ac.ir Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research Urmia University Refocusing the Digital Lens of Idiomaticity: A Second Look at Understanding Idiomaticity in CALL1 John I. Liontas a, * a University of South Florida, US A B S T R A C T This article takes a critical second look at understanding idiomaticity in CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning). The conditions markedly affecting second language teaching and learning are highlighted amidst pedagogical constructs supporting the reconstructive nature of idiomatic understanding and production in English. The ensuing discussion underscores the promise digital technologies hold for further research work on idiomaticity including, but not limited to, idiom, metaphor, simile, metonymy, hyperbole, proverb, slang, cliché, lexical bundle, phrasal expression, multiword construction, collocation, colloquialism, and tropes of figurative language. It is argued that for the purposes of diagnosis and achievement idiomaticity must be thoughtfully anchored in pedagogical paradigms requiring further examination and care. These exemplars, as the need arises across contexts and audiences, are seen as particularly useful to the development and refinement of idiomatic knowledge, especially when such knowledge reflects the judicious and purposeful use of CALL technologies, electronic tools, and digital resources. Pedagogical implications addressing idiom- learning activities and task-based digital projects are also discussed.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

    Ornette Coleman and Harmolodics by Matt Lavelle A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History and Research Written and approved under the direction of Dr. Henry Martin ________________________ Newark, New Jersey May 2019 © 2019 Matt Lavelle ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Ornette Coleman stands as one of the most significant innovators in jazz history. The purpose of my thesis is to show where his innovations came from, how his music functions, and how it impacted other innovators around him. I also delved into the more controversial aspects of his music. At the core of his process was a very personal philosophical and musical theory he invented which he called Harmolodics. Harmolodics was derived from the music of Charlie Parker and Coleman’s need to challenge conventional Western music theory in pursuit of providing direct links between music, nature, and humanity. To build a foundation I research Coleman’s development prior to his famous debut at the Five Spot, focusing on evidence of a direct connection to Charlie Parker. I examine his use of instruments he played other than his primary use of the alto saxophone. His relationships with the piano, guitar, and the musicians that played them are then examined. I then research his use of the bass and drums, and the musicians that played them, so vital to his music. I follow with documentation of the string quartets, woodwind ensembles, and symphonic work, much of which was never recorded.
