SymfJumy AuauenceA: \^y <JHIShis Programme, unique among symphony programmes in the adequacy of its notes, is made possible through the co-operation of advertisers who believe that the Concert Bulletin is a good advertising medium: that money spent on space in its pages gives adequate returns. • Because, in many cases, checking on such re- turns is difficult, readers of this programme are asked to mention the Concert Bulletin in purchasing from the firms whose advertisements appear in it — either personally or through a note when a bill is paid. • In this way each member of the audience will make a direct contribution toward maintaining the high standard of this publication — by justifying the advertisers' faith in this medium.

(1790- 1861), a famous virtuoso and composer for the violin, and friend and com- panion of Paganini. His father, Sigis- mondo Lipinsky, was a famous etcher and engraver. Mr. Lipinsky was born in Rome, and was educated there and at Munich. He has had more than fifty exhibitions abroad, from Amsterdam to Zurich, and has received numerous awards. His works hang in galleries in Rome, Naples, Trieste, Riga and almost a score of other cities.

The first public performance was at the Theater an der Wien, April 7, 1805. The parts were published in 1806, and dedicated to Prince Lobkowitz. The symphony is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, three horns, two trumpets, timpani and strings. The most recent performance at these concerts was October 13, 1939. The Third Symphony is set down by Paul Henry Lang, in his "Music in Western Civilization,"* as "one of the incomprehensible deeds in arts and letters, the greatest single step made by an individual composer in the history of the symphony and the history of music in general." The statement is well considered; it looms in a summation which is broad, scholarly, and musically penetrating. Indeed, wonder- ment at that mighty project of the imagination and will is not lessened * Published this month by W. W. Norton & Company.

  • CHORAL PROBLEMS in HANDEL's MESSIAH THESIS Presented to The
    *141 CHORAL PROBLEMS IN HANDEL'S MESSIAH THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC By John J. Williams, B. M. Ed. Denton, Texas May, 1968 PREFACE Music of the Baroque era can be best perceived through a detailed study of the elements with which it is constructed. Through the analysis of melodic characteristics, rhythmic characteristics, harmonic characteristics, textural charac- teristics, and formal characteristics, many choral problems related directly to performance practices in the Baroque era may be solved. It certainly cannot be denied that there is a wealth of information written about Handel's Messiah and that readers glancing at this subject might ask, "What is there new to say about Messiah?" or possibly, "I've conducted Messiah so many times that there is absolutely nothing I don't know about it." Familiarity with the work is not sufficient to produce a performance, for when it is executed in this fashion, it becomes merely a convention rather than a carefully pre- pared piece of music. Although the oratorio has retained its popularity for over a hundred years, it is rarely heard as Handel himself performed it. Several editions of the score exist, with changes made by the composer to suit individual soloists or performance conditions. iii The edition chosen for analysis in this study is the one which Handel directed at the Foundling Hospital in London on May 15, 1754. It is version number four of the vocal score published in 1959 by Novello and Company, Limited, London, as edited by Watkins Shaw, based on sets of parts belonging to the Thomas Coram Foundation (The Foundling Hospital).
