  • Overture Opera Guides
    overture opera guides in association with We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with Overture Publishing on this series of opera guides and to build on the work English National Opera did over twenty years ago on the Calder Opera Guide Series. As well as reworking and updating existing titles, Overture and ENO have commissioned new titles for the series and all of the guides will be published to coincide with repertoire being staged by the company at the London Coliseum. We hope that these guides will prove an invaluable resource now and for years to come, and that by delving deeper into the history of an opera, the poetry of the libretto and the nuances of the score, read- ers’ understanding and appreciation of the opera and the art form in general will be enhanced. John Berry Artistic Director, ENO The publisher John Calder began the Opera Guides series under the editorship of the late Nicholas John in association with English National Opera in 1980. It ran until 1994 and eventu- ally included forty-eight titles, covering fifty-eight operas. The books in the series were intended to be companions to the works that make up the core of the operatic repertory. They contained articles, illustrations, musical examples and a complete libretto and singing translation of each opera in the series, as well as bibliographies and discographies. The aim of the present relaunched series is to make available again the guides already published in a redesigned format with new illustrations, some newly commissioned articles, updated reference sections and a literal translation of the libretto that will enable the reader to get closer to the intentions and meaning of the original.

Mapleson adds his own announcement at the close. 1901 - January 16. From the Metropolitan Opera prompter's box, Mapleson records Mme.

Campagnes de recrutement pendant les spectacles, séances gratuites pour les soldats blessés, tournées de vedettes en France, contribuèrent toutes à l’effort national. Un air de satire et de critique de la gestion de la guerre était également perceptible. Lors de la deuxième guerre, le discours officiel des hommes politiques a évolué. Le sacrifice glorieux de Lloyd George est devenu le « du sang, de la peine, des larmes et de la sueur» de Winston Churchill.

    THE GILBERT AND SULLIVAN OPERETTAS ON 78s: COMPLETE SETS AND ABRIDGEMENTS, 1906. 1950 John W. N. Francis In 1877 Richard D'Oyly Carte commissioned Gilbert and Sullivan to write The Sorcerer, and organized an ensemble of singer-actors to perform the new piece under the author's artistic direction. Also in 1877, of course, Charles Cros and Thomas Edison invented sound recording. More than a century later both the music and the medium continue to flourish, and indeed they have come together often and success­ fully--notably in the many complete versions by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, which have set standards of style and ensemble for generations of devotees and amateur performers. This discography documents the complete recordings of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas made at 78 rpm, not only by the D'Oyly Carte company or under its aegis, but also by others with lesser claims to authenticity. Also included are substantial abridgements and sets of excerpts--groups of five or more sides made at essentially the same time and place and with the same performers, whether or not they were ever issued collectively or with consecutive numbering. The following comments set the recordings in the context of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company's history. THE ACOUSTIC RECORDINGS When Richard D'Oyly Carte died in 1901, his widow Helen assumed manage­ ment of the businesses he had built, including the Savoy Theatre in London and the opera company, which was then on tour. In 1906 she brought the troupe back to the Savoy for a repertory season of Gilbert and Sullivan, its very first.

  • Roger Quilter
    ROGER QUILTER 1877-1953 HIS LIFE, TIMES AND MUSIC by VALERIE GAIL LANGFIELD A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Music School of Humanities The University of Birmingham February 2004 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT Roger Quilter is best known for his elegant and refined songs, which are rooted in late Victorian parlour-song, and are staples of the English artsong repertoire. This thesis has two aims: to explore his output beyond the canon of about twenty-five songs which overshadows the rest of his work; and to counter an often disparaging view of his music, arising from his refusal to work in large-scale forms, the polished assurance of his work, and his education other than in an English musical establishment. These aims are achieved by presenting biographical material, which places him in his social and musical context as a wealthy, upper-class, Edwardian gentleman composer, followed by an examination of his music. Various aspects of his solo and partsong œuvre are considered; his incidental music for the play Where the Rainbow Ends and its contribution to the play’s West End success are examined fully; a chapter on his light opera sheds light on his collaborative working practices, and traces the development of the several versions of the work; and his piano, instrumental and orchestral works are discussed within their function as light music.

    Artpark Archival Collection At The Burchfield Penney Art Center Archives Gift of Earl W. Brydges Artpark State Park 2013; A2013.017 Title: Artpark Archival Collection Name and Location of Repository: Burchfield Penney Art Center Date: 1970 - 2010 (Inclusive Dates) 1974-2005 (General Bulk Dates) Extent: 118.979 linear feet of textual, photographic and audio-visual materials Name of Creator: Earl W. Brydges Artpark State Park Administrative History: Artpark is currently (as of 2021) a 154-acre State Park along the Niagara River Gorge, located on the American side of the American-Canadian border in Lewiston, NY. It was initially created to develop tourism around local historic attractions and revitalize the area following late 1950s development of the New York State Power Authority power plant in Niagara Falls. Over- developed and costly theater construction under State Senator Earl W. Brydges in this direction of cultural development, said to be modeled after the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, resulted in a consulting emergency between the Natural Heritage Trust, the New York State Office of Parks and Recreation, and national experts and local cultural community leadership. This included the arts administration consulting firm Arts Development Associates (which had helped with the Lincoln Center), and a Steering Committee involving, amongst many, Niagara University Theater director Brother Augustine Towey, C.M., and Haudenosaunee Council on the Arts founder and artist Duffy Wilson. As a result, Artpark (or the Artpark program at the Earl W. Brydges Artpark) emerged from the Niagara Frontier Performing Arts Center, and in 1973 was established as a publicly-funded state park dedicated to all of the arts, with portions of support coming from earned revenue, grants and contributions.

  • Herbert in Pittsburgh
    From the "Idol's Eye" to "Tristan":Victor Herbert in Pittsburgh Robert F. Schmalz University of Southwestern Louisiana For nearly a century, the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh have been represented by two of the nation's finest orchestral ensembles. Although colorful and sometimes controversial personalities spice the histories of both organiza- tions, Victor Herbert's mercurial career as conductor of the Pittsburgh orchestra is particularly noteworthy. Indeed, during his brief tenure in Pittsburgh the composer of "Babes in Toyland" and "Naughty Marietta" exerted an extraordi- nary influence on the musical life of his adopted city. Victor Herbert succeeded Frederick Archer to become the second conduc- tor of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in 1898, only the fourth season of the orchestra's existence. Inheriting an organization which was confused and divided over Archer's dismissal, the thirty-eight year old conductor launched a six-year association which proved to be a rewarding experience for the city, the orchestra, and the conductor alike. Those who anticipated a new beginning were not disappointed. Herbert brought with him to Pittsburgh a decidedly popular image. Born on February 1, 1859, he was the grandson of Samuel Lover, an Irish novelist, poet and songwriter. He had pursued a musical career in Germany, studying at the Stuttgart Conservatory. Herbert toured France, Germany and Italy as cello soloist with the Stuttgart Orchestra in the late 1870's and early 1880's. It was during this period that he produced his first compositions, completing both a suite and a concerto for cello and orchestra, as well as several songs.

  • “Fascinating Facts” August 2018
    Daily Sparkle CD - A Review of Famous Songs of the Past “Fascinating Facts” August 2018 Track 1 On Top of Old Smokey On Top of Old Smoky is a traditional folk song and a well-known ballad of the United States. Old Smoky may be a high mountain somewhere in the Ozarks or the central Appalachians, as the tune bears the stylistic hallmarks of the Scottish and Irish people who settled the region. Mitchell "Mitch" Miller (July 4, 1911 – July 31, 2010) was prominent in the American music industry. Miller was involved in almost all aspects of the industry, working as a musician, singer, conductor, record producer and record company executive. Miller was one of the most influential people in American popular music during the 1950s and early 1960s, both as the head of A&R at Columbia Records and as a best-selling recording artist with an NBC television series, Sing Along with Mitch. Track 2 Island In The Sun A song comprised of traditional Jamaican music. Belafonte starred in a film of the same name in 1957. Harry Belafonte born Harold George "Harry" Belafonte, Jr. (born March 1, 1927) is an American singer, songwriter, actor and social activist. He was dubbed the "King of Calypso" for popularizing the Caribbean musical style with an international audience in the 1950s. Belafonte is perhaps best known for singing The Banana Boat Song, with its signature lyric "Day-O". Throughout his career he has been an advocate for civil rights and humanitarian causes and was a vocal critic of the policies of the George W.

  • Suzanne Adams a Listing of Recordings
    Revised: March 26, 2021 1 Suzanne Adams A Listing of Recordings This isn't even remotely a discography. It is cobbled together from various sources, notably the notes to the Symposium CD issue of Adams's G&T's (Symposium 1100; Harold Wayne Collection, v. 8), the notes to the Sony CD issue of the Columbia Grand Opera records (MH2K62334), the online version of the booklet accompanying the NYPL LP issue of the Maplesons, and Hevingham-Root's listing of the London Reds in the 1960 Record Collector. In sum, there isn't a lick of original research in it. Speeds preceded by a tilde (~) are those the author of this list suggests and should be considered approximate. Keys preceded by a tilde were determined by the author. Other keys of the G&T's are from Laurie Hevingham-Root's article in The Record Collector. The speed of IRCC 5002 was determined by William R. Moran. I have intentionally totally ignored most LP and CD reissues because I don't care about them at all. A ">" before an entry means that I have that record in my collection. The same symbol before a record number means that I have a copy of that issue. (Normally there will be at least two ">" characters, one beside the entry, the other beside the record number actually in my collection.) This reflects all my holdings as of the date in the header. It is unlikely that any copies of the Bettini cylinders still exist. They are listed here for the sake of completeness, taken from a catalog dated April 1900 and Catalogue no 11, dated June 1901.
