[«] OVERTURE TO THE OPERA "OBERON" By Carl Maria von Weber Born in Eutin, Oldenburg, in Germany, November 18,* 1786; died in London, June 5, 1826 The Opera "Oberon," or "The Elf King's Oath," completed April 9, 1826, had its first production at Covent Garden, London, on April 12, the composer conduct- ing, Weber composed it by order of Charles Kemble, Manager of the Covent Garden. The text, by James Robinson Planche, was an English translation of C. M. Wieland's "Oberon." Planche was helped by the earlier translation of W. Sotheby. "Oberon" was first heard in Germany in Leipzig, December 23 of the same year. The first performance in America has been stated as given at the Park Theatre, New York, October 9, 1828. Philip Hale, remarking that "Oberon" has undergone many re- visions on account of its bulk of spoken text, doubts whether this performance was "exactly as Weber wrote it" and names the "first veritable performance" as one given at the Academy of Music in New York by the Parepa-Rosa English opera company, March 29, 1870. The first performance in Boston was in Music Hall by this same company, May 23, 1870. The opera was revived at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, December 28, 1918, when Artur Bodanzky conducted; Rosa Ponselle sang Rezia; Giovanni Martinelli, Sir Huon. * The date of Weber's birth is universally given as December 18, 1786. Nicolas Slonimsky, who has profitably devoted his time to the checking and correction of wrong dates handed down from one compiler of dictionaries to another, offers this information : "Music dic- tionaries, the Encyclopedia Britannica, and other reference works all give the wrong date of Weber's birth, December 18, 1786. I have obtained a copy of Weber's registry of baptism from Eutin, Germany, which states that Carl Maria Friedrick Ernst von Weber (his full name) was baptized on November 20, 1786. He was probably born on November 18, which was the day on which he celebrated his birthday in later life. At any rate, the discovery of his baptismal registry disposes of the December 18 date which for some reason has been accepted even by Weber's German biographers."

(^.tventy K Heivoury [9] The most recent performance of the Overture at the Friday and Saturday con- certs of this orchestra was on February 28, 1947. The Overture is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, and strings.

  • ARSC Journal

    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

    Violin Sonata No. 2 in a Major JOSEPH BOULOGNE, CHEVALIER DE SAINT-GEORGES (1745-1799) Composed in 1781

    Page 1 (1/31/20) Violin Sonata No. 2 in A major JOSEPH BOULOGNE, CHEVALIER DE SAINT-GEORGES (1745-1799) Composed in 1781. Joseph Boulogne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, one of music history’s most fascinating figures, was born on Christmas Day 1745 on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, where his father, a French civil servant, was stationed as comptroller-general; his mother was a black islander. The family moved to Paris when the boy was ten. Joseph was enrolled in the academy of Nicolas Texier de La Boëssière, one of France’s most renowned fencing masters, and there received a good general education as well as rigorous training in swimming, boxing, horse riding and other physical and social skills; he became one of the finest fencers in Europe. Saint-Georges’ musical education was less well documented, though he apparently had shown talent as a violinist even before leaving Guadeloupe and seems to have been a student of the celebrated composer François Gossec for several years. sHe joined Gossec’s orchestra at the Concert des Amateurs in 1769, made his debut there as a soloist three years later (in two of his own violin concertos), and became concertmaster and conductor of the group shortly thereafter. In 1777, Saint-Georges entered the employ of the Duke of Orléans, and four years later took on the additional position of concertmaster of the Concert de la Loge Olympique, for which Claude-François-Marie Rigoley, Comte d’Ogny commissioned Haydn’s “Paris” symphonies. Saint-Georges acted as intermediary in finalizing the arrangements with Haydn, and he presumably directed the premieres of the works.

One of these is certainly Acis and Galatea, composed in 1720 when Handel was at the height of his fame as an opera composer and manager in London. In music of great charm it tells the story of the goddess Galatea, whose great beauty causes the Cyclops, Polypheme, to fall madly in love with her. He catches sight of her one day sporting with her love Acis, a Naiad. Mad with rage, he hurls a rock at them, pinning the unfortunate Acis beneath.

    New Harmonies

    Dear Teacher: Welcome to New Harmonies: Celebrating American Roots Music, an exhibition organized by the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum on Main Street program and brought to you by your state humanities council. These materials and activities were compiled to help your students observe, imagine, learn & contribute to the discussion of American roots music during their visit to the exhibition. While it’s desirable to participate in each step, it’s certainly not required. In fact, each individual piece will provide your students with thought-provoking questions and activities. You can easily customize lessons or even develop your own methods of exploring roots music! The lesson plans that accompany New Harmonies will help you create a meaningful experience for your students. Each includes Pre-visit, Visit, and Post-visit activities. All the lessons can be adapted for younger or older audiences, so evaluate each lesson before selecting activities for your students. The Pre-visit step is designed to be simple, to introduce the students to the exhibit topic, and to be easy to implement. This step is intended to stimulate the students’ curiosity and help students gather information for use in visit and post-visit activities. The Visit step is focused on information gathering. This is a time for the students to explore and read the exhibit content, enjoy audio samples, and utilize interactive components. The activity worksheets included in this section will help students gather enough information to apply their knowledge in a later classroom activity. With all activities and worksheets, students can work individually or in groups. The Post-visit step consists of ideas and activities to implement after your return to the classroom.

Among other projects, he co-composed the richly dramatic score for the cult-documentary film Trinity and Beyond, described by one critic as “an atomic-age Fantasia, thanks to its spectacular nuclear explosions and powerhouse music.” In addition, Morgan has won acclaim for efforts to rescue, restore and re-record lost film scores from the past. Recently, Morgan composed the score for the acclaimed documentary, Cinerama Adventure. William Stromberg A native of Oceanside, California, who hails from a family of film-makers, William T. Stromberg balances his career as a composer of strikingly vivid film scores with that of a busy conductor in the original Marco Polo Classic Film Score Series. Besides conducting his own scores—including his music for the thriller Other Voices and the documentary Trinity and Beyond—Stromberg serves as a conductor for other film composers. He is especially noted for his passion in reconstructing and conducting film scores from Hollywood’s Golden Age, including several works recorded for RCA with the Brandenburg Philharmonic. For Marco Polo, he has conducted albums of music devoted to Max Steiner, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Alfred Newman, Philip Sainton, Adolph Deutsch, Hans J. Salter, Victor Young, Franz Waxman, Bernard Hermann and Malcolm Arnold.

    News From the Library of Congress MOUG / MLA 2001 All of the news from LC this year furnishes empirical proof that the old maxim, “The more things change, the more they stay the same,” is not true. We can testify that, in fact, “The more things change, the more things change.” Like a young tree, the bigger it gets, the bigger it gets. The implementation of the Integrated Library System (ILS) has forced the Library to examine how it does business from the ground up. The result will be cleaner and leaner operation with more to offer everyone. (Regarding that “more to offer everyone,” it should be mentioned that our Web OPAC registers 150,000 searches a day!) The ILS has been in operation now for about one-and-a-half years. Most catalogers and technicians have become comfortable with its operations. Acquisitions and circulation staff are also up and running. Our goal for this calendar year is to return production to pre-ILS levels–and so far it appears that we will have no problem achieving this. We are also looking forward to the Voyager 2000 implementation, due in July 2001, which will provide us with added functionality. This report will be organized along the same lines as past reports. We will take a look at the major happenings in selected LC organizations and operations with special attention to areas of interest to Music Librarians. 1. LIBRARY OF CONGRESS INTEGRATED LIBRARY SYSTEM On August 21, 2000, the Library officially accepted the LC ILS system after extensive testing and forty consecutive days of acceptable response times.
