THE EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY ASSURANCE CORP.. LTD. AMERICAN EMPLOYERS' INSURANCE CO. THE EMPLOYERS' FIRE INSURANCE CO. Speaking of Programs . , . COMEONE touched off a heated discussion of television, radio, and ^ musical program-making. Delver Forfax, the insatiable researcher, drew a folder from a desk drawer, and said: "Let's see some examples from the 'Good Old Days.' "Here's an 1837 announcement of the Theatre Royal, Dublin — a leader in its time. 'The celebrated Norwegian Violinist, MR. OLE BULL, is engaged for TWO NIGHTS ONLY. This present Monday . the performance will commence with . A New Way to Play Old Debts. Mr. Ole Bull will perform. Between the Second and Third acts of the Play, a Grand Concerto, in three parts; . Between the Third and Fourth acts, a QUARTETTE on ONE VIOLIN. After the Play ... he will introduce Variations on several favorite Irish Airs, including Rory O'More & St, Patrick's Day.' "Another program was to open with Pll Be Your Second, followed by Bellini's / Capuletti e Montecchi. Mr. Bull was to play before the opera, after Act i, and at the close. "Now let's look for improved program-making. Here's an 1839 announcement. First comes 'the Comic Piece,' X.Y.Z., after vv^hich, an INTERLUDE IN WHICH Mr. VAN AMBURGH Will Exhibit His Fearless AND Extraordinary Performances With His LIVING LIONS, TIGERS, LEOPARDS, &c.. Introducing A LAMB AMONG THE LIONS. The performance . will terminate with A GRAND CHAR- ACTERISTIC TABLEAU Representing the Wild Animals and their Tamer Enveloped by a Burning Forest.' "To conclude, there was a duet. The Keel Row, and a hornpipe. "Ah, the Good Old Days !" Delver sighed sardonically. 4l ERNEST ANSERMET ERNEST Ansermet, bom in Vevey, Switzerland, November ii, 1883, began his career as a professor of mathematics at the University of Lausanne, and at the Sorbonne, but studied music with Den^r^az in Lausanne, Gedalge in Paris, and Otto Barblan and Ernest Bloch in Geneva. He became conductor of the Kursaal concerts in Montreux in 1912, and succeeded Stavenhagen as director of the Geneva Sub- scription Concerts in 1914. In 1915 he toured Europe and both Americas as conductor of Diaghileff's Ballet Russe. In 1918 he founded the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. He conducted the symphony orchestra at Buenos Aires in the seasons 1924-27, and in 1936-37 re- turned to conduct in South America and several cities of the United States. Having conducted concerts over Radio Suisse during the war, he resumed his activities as guest conductor in Europe in 1946, and returned to this country in the season 1947-1948 for guest appearances. On January 25, 28-29, 1949, he appeared as guest conductor of this Orchestra, and has visited this country each season since then. SYMPHONY NO. 5, IN C MINOR, Op. 67 By LuDwiG VAN Beethoven Born at Bonn, December 16 (?), 1770; died at Vienna, March 26, 1827 The Fifth Symphony was completed near the end of the year 1807, and first performed at the Theater an der Wien, Vienna, December 22, 1808, Beethoven conducting. The parts were published in April, 1809, and the score in March, 1826. The dedication is to Prince von Lobkowitz and Count Rasumovsky. The Symphony is scored for two flutes and piccolo, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons and double-bassoon, two horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani and strings (the piccolo, trombones and double-bassoon, here making their first appearance in a symphony of Beethoven, are used only in the Finale). NEW ENGLAND CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC Harrison Keller, Director Malcolm Holmes, Dean MUSIC FOR YOUNG PLAYERS A course in music for students from five through junior high school age on Saturday mornings. Private instruction in their chosen instrument, including carefully integrated training in music fundamentals. Special classses in ensemble playing. Frances Lanier and Virginia Bacon, Supervisors Terms of ten weeks: Jan. 12 to March 15; March 22 to May 31. For further information and catalogue, apply to the Dean, 290 Huntington Avenue, Boston, Mass. [5] IT IS POSSIBLE to find an affinity of rhythmic units through the four movements of the Fifth Symphony. But the similarity (and it is nothing more) should be kept within the bounds of a superficial obser- vation. Beethoven may not have been even aware of it — he was too deep an artist to pursue a unifying theory. A still greater mistake is to look upon the initial four-note figure with its segregating hold as more than a segment of the theme proper. Weingartner and others after him have exposed this fallacy, and what might be called the enlightened interpretation of this movement probably began with the realization that Beethoven never devised a first movement more conspicuous for graceful symmetry and even, melodic flow. An isolated tile cannot explain a mosaic, and the smaller the tile unit, the more smooth and delicate of line will be the complete picture. Just so does Beethoven's briefer "motto" devolve upon itself to produce long and regular melodic periods. Even in its first bare statement, the "motto" belongs conceptually to an eight-measure period, broken for the moment as the second fermata is held through an additional bar. The movement is regular in its sections, conservative in its tonalities. Its very regularity, its incredible compactness, adds to the power of the symphony which, when it was first heard, disrupted all contemporary notions of what a symphony was supposed to be. The Andante con moto (in A-flat major) is the most irregular of the four movements. It is not so much a theme with variations as free thoughts upon segments of a theme with certain earmarks and re- currences of the variation form hovering in the background. The first setting forth of the melody cries heresy by requiring 48 bars. The first strain begins regularly enough, but, instead of closing on the tonic A-flat, hangs suspended. The wood winds echo this last phrase and carry it to a cadence which is pointedly formal as the strings echo it at the nineteenth bar. Formal but not legitimate. A close at the eighth bar would have been regular, and this is not a movement of regular phrase lengths. Regularity is not established until the end of the movement when this phrase closes upon its eighth bar at last! The whole andante is one of the delayed cadences.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: FRENCH CHARACTER PIECES
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: FRENCH CHARACTER PIECES (1860-1960) Cindy Lin, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2013 Dissertation directed by: Professor Bradford Gowen School of Music My dissertation recording project explores a variety of musical works that realize the expressive and organizational potential of a highly coloristic approach to composition. I focus on French character pieces written between 1860 and 1960. Although numerous French character pieces were written before 1860 and after 1960, I have narrowed the scope of the list to the time range of a century. In this research, I analyze some of the works of ten composers in chronological order to show the subtle changes in style over time. The micro-level expressive qualities of these pieces as well as their macro-level organizational structures are analyzed in this document. The sources for the selected works include: 48 Esquisses, Op. 63 by Charles- Valentin Alkan; Dix piѐces pittoresques by Emmanuel Chabrier; Etudes de Concert, Op. 35 and Romances sans paroles, Op. 76 by Cécile Chaminade; Préludes (Book I and II) and Estampes by Claude Debussy; Miroirs by Maurice Ravel; Cerdaña by Déodat de Séverac; Les Heures persanes, Op. 65 by Charles Koechlin; Napoli Suite by Francis Poulenc; La Muse ménagѐre, Op. 245 by Darius Milhaud; and Préludes and Vingt Regards sur l’Enfant Jésus by Olivier Messiaen. I have recorded approximately two hours of solo piano music. The selected pieces were recorded on a Steinway “D” in Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa by Peter Nothnagle. This document is available in the digital Repository at the University of Maryland and the CD’s are available through the Library System at the University of Maryland.

  • Emmanuel Chabrier, Une Biographie De Francis Poulenc Michel Burgard
    Emmanuel Chabrier, une biographie de Francis Poulenc Michel Burgard À la mémoire du Professeur François Roth, notre confrère, notre ami. Quand on apprécie les surprises routières, il est un endroit où l’on ne peut pas être déçu. Partez de Montbrison, Loire, ville natale de Pierre Boulez, et rendez vous à Ambert, Puy-de-Dôme, célèbre pour sa ronde mairie, celle autour de laquelle tournent Les Copains de Jules Romains et pour son compositeur, Emmanuel Chabrier. Quand il écrit son petit ouvrage, publié à La Palatine en 1961, Françis Poulenc ne tient pas à « faire de la musicologie » : Olivier Messiaen aurait dit : « Je ne suis pas ornithologue, je suis oiseau ». Poulenc aurait pu dire : « Je ne suis pas musicologue, je suis musicien ». Ricardo Viñes, son maître, et Marcelle Meyer, pianistes, « inoubliables interprètes de Chabrier », en reçoivent la dédicace. Le but de son écrit ? D’une haute ambition ! « Faire aimer autant qu’admirer ce musicien de première grandeur. » Ses pairs ? Debussy, Ravel, logiquement, Satie. L’école d’Arcueil jouxte le groupe des Six. Plus surprenant, Gabriel Fauré. Le portrait qu’il trace, d’une plume pittoresque, use de termes auvergnats : « bougnat » « foutrauds », entendez « originaux ». Il souligne aussi le contraste entre le négligé de la caricature de Detaille et le portrait soigné du fonctionnaire de la toile du Louvre, Chabrier travaillant alors, après sa licence en droit, au bureau des ampliations ( !) du ministère de l’Intérieur. Ami personnel de Monet, Manet, Renoir, Sisley, dont il possédait des toiles, il n’a jamais établi de correspondances entre peinture et musique dans son œuvre.

Working in Paris, he befriended leading musicians and painters of the time, including Manet (who painted Chabrier’s portrait twice). Seeing Wagner’s opera, Tristan and Isolde, on an 1880 trip to Germany so inspired Chabrier that he decided to quit his job and devote his life to music. Like much of Chabrier’s music, Joyeuse marche (“Joyful March”) was written for piano and later orchestrated by the composer. He conducted its premiere to open an 1888 festival devoted to his music at Angers in the Loire valley. The march was a hit, and the festival ended up being a highpoint of Chabrier’s brief career, as he was just beginning to struggle with the mental illness that would soon make him unable to compose.
