COMPANY ^ ^m^^M '^^ ^^ Summer St, — ! ! Symphonic Sketches: Suite for Orchestra. George Whitfield Chadwick: (Born at Lowell, Mass., on Noveiijber 13, 1854; "ow living in Boston.) This suite contains four movements, which are intended to be played consecutively, but may be performed separately if it is thought more expedient. The movements are entitled "Jubilee," "Noel," "Hob- goblin," "A Vagrom Ballad." "Jubilee" and "Noel" were composed in December, 1895; "A Vagrom Ballad" bears the date February, 1896; "Hobgoblin" was composed in the summer of 1904. "Jubilee," "Noel," and "A Vagrom Ballad" were played in various cities during the spring trip of the Boston Festival Orchestra, led by Mr. Mollenhauer. "Noel" was also played at the Forty-sixth Annual Festival of the Worcester County Musical Association, at a concert in Worcester^ October 2, 1903. "Jubilee" and "A Vagrom Ballad" were played for the first time in Boston at a Chickering Production Concert, March 23, 1904. Mr. Chadwick conducted his pieces. "Hobgoblin" was performed for the first time at Mr. Chadwick's concert in Jordan Hall, Boston, November 21, 1904. The "Symphonic Sketches," dedicated to Frederick S. Converse, were published in 1907. They are scored for piccolo, two flutes, two oboes (one interchangeable wdth English horn), two clarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, a set of three kettledrums, military drum, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, tambourine, xylophone, harp, strings. I. Jubilee: Allegro molto vivace, A major, 6-4. The movement has this motto: Jubilee. No cool gray tones for me Give me the warmest red and green, A comet and a tambourine, To paint my jubilee NEW SONGS for CONCERT and RECITAL USE ^ We have this season a very large number of interesting compositions by such leading Composers as A.

The movement opens with a jubilant theme for full orchestra. After the full exposition a still more characteristic and strongly-rhythmed motive appears (4-4, bass clarinet, bassoons, violas, and 'cellos). A "patting Juba" horn-call introduces a contrasting, suavely melodic motive (C major), which is developed. There is a return of the first jubilant expression, A major, 6-4, which is followed by the cantabile theme (now in F major). After a crescendo, built on the first and chief theme, a few measures for wind instruments (piano) lead to a section (assai tranquillo, 2-2) of an expressive and lyrical nature, which is followed by a final presto in the mood of the opening. II. Noel: Andante con tenerezza, D-flat major, 3-4. There is this motto: Through the soft, calm moonlight comes a sound: A mother lulls her babe, and all around The gentle snow lies glistening On such a night the \'irgin Mother mild In dreamless slumber wrapped the Holy Child, While angel hosts werellistening. —Translation. When "Noel" was performed at the Worcester .Festival, the pro- gramme book said: " 'It is reasonably described,' to use the composer's words, 'by the title, i.e., a little Christmas song.' The curious might discover, perhaps, a coincidence in the fact that Mr. Chadwick's younger son is named Noel." "Noel" (derived from the Latin natalis*), a word shouted or sung as an expression of joy, originally to commemorate the birth of Christ, appeared in English in the thirteenth century as "nowel." For an interesting ^study of the Noel see " Dictionnaire de Plain-Chant et de Musique d'E)glise," by Joseph d'Ortigue, in the Abbe Migne's "Nouvelle Encyclopedic Theologique " (Paris, 1853). * Yet some writers, as Nicod, pretend that the French took the word from Emmanuel: " Noel ou Nouel, " per aphaeresim canunt Galli pro Emmanuel, id est nobiscum Deus.

"Hobgoblin": Scherzo capriccioso, Allegro vivace, F major, 3-4. The motto is Shakespeare's "that shrewd and knavish sprite called Robin Goodfellow." The composer did not have in mind any expression of fairyism. He had in mind the rascally imp that frights maidens of the villager/ skims milk, mocks the breathless housewife at the churn, misleads night wanderers, disconcerts sorely the wisest aunt telling the saddest tale. Those that Hobgoblin call you, and sweet Puck, You do their work, and they shall have good luck. Richard Grant White says in a note to "A Midsummer Night's Dream": "Until after Shakespeare wrote this play 'puck' was the generic name for a minor order of evil spirits. The name exists in all the Teutonic and Scandinavian— dialects; and in New York the Dutch have left it in a form 'spook,' meaning a ghost or spirit —known to all who are Knickerbockers by blood or birth.

  • Musical Landmarks in New York
    MUSICAL LANDMARKS IN NEW YORK By CESAR SAERCHINGER HE great war has stopped, or at least interrupted, the annual exodus of American music students and pilgrims to the shrines T of the muse. What years of agitation on the part of America- first boosters—agitation to keep our students at home and to earn recognition for our great cities as real centers of musical culture—have not succeeded in doing, this world catastrophe has brought about at a stroke, giving an extreme illustration of the proverb concerning the ill wind. Thus New York, for in- stance, has become a great musical center—one might even say the musical center of the world—for a majority of the world's greatest artists and teachers. Even a goodly proportion of its most eminent composers are gathered within its confines. Amer- ica as a whole has correspondingly advanced in rank among musical nations. Never before has native art received such serious attention. Our opera houses produce works by Americans as a matter of course; our concert artists find it popular to in- clude American compositions on their programs; our publishing houses publish new works by Americans as well as by foreigners who before the war would not have thought of choosing an Amer- ican publisher. In a word, America has taken the lead in mu- sical activity. What, then, is lacking? That we are going to retain this supremacy now that peace has come is not likely. But may we not look forward at least to taking our place beside the other great nations of the world, instead of relapsing into the status of a colony paying tribute to the mother country? Can not New York and Boston and Chicago become capitals in the empire of art instead of mere outposts? I am afraid that many of our students and musicians, for four years compelled to "make the best of it" in New York, are already looking eastward, preparing to set sail for Europe, in search of knowledge, inspiration and— atmosphere.

  • 13 Foreword to Richard Taruskin's Essays On
    13 FOREWORD TO RICHARD TARUSKIN’S ESSAYS ON MUSORGSKY Th e entry below initially appeared in 1993, as a Foreword to a book of ground-breaking essays on Modest Musorgsky by Richard Taruskin (Musorgsky: Eight Essays and an Epilogue [Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1993]). At the time Taruskin was the foremost authority on Russian music in the Western world; by now (2010) he has become foremost in several other areas as well. To his writings and generous mentorship I owe my education in this Russian composer. EXCERPTS FROM THE FOREWORD TO RICHARD TARUSKIN, MUSORGSKY: EIGHT ESSAYS AND AN EPILOGUE 1993 In 1839, the year of Musorgsky’s birth, the Marquis de Custine made a three-month journey through the Russian Empire. Th e travel account he published four years later, La Russie en 1839, became an international bestseller; to this day, fairly or no, it is read as a key to that country’s most grimly persistent cultural traits.1 Astolphe de Custine (1790–1857) was an aristocrat from a family ravaged by the French Revolution. Nevertheless, he came to view the Russian absolute autocracy (and the cunning, imitative, servile subjects it bred and fostered) as far more deceitful and potentially 1 See the reprint edition of the fi rst (anonymously translated) English version of 1843, Th e Marquis de Custine, Empire of the Czar: A Journey through Eternal Russia (New York: Anchor-Doubleday, 1989). Quotations in this essay occur on pp. 600, 109, and 206 respectively. George Kennan has called La Russie en 1839 “not a very good book about Russia in 1839” but “an excellent book, probably in fact the best of books, about the Russia of Joseph Stalin” (George F.

    1/390 2/390 PRÉFACE La Soirée Parisienne ! Comme ce mot évoque l’idée de bonnes heures passées dans le brouhaha des plaisirs de la grande ville, sous les feux éclatants du gaz ou les radiations de la lumière électrique, au mo- ment où il n’y a plus ni travailleurs, ni camions, ni charrettes, et où chacun, même parmi les plus occu- pés, n’a plus qu’une idée au monde – s’amuser – en disant avec une douce philosophie : «À demain les affaires sérieuses !» Ces queues de spectateurs qui ondulent devant la porte de nos théâtres ne sont-ils pas des fleuves d’oubli. Là, en effet, sur la scène, dans le monde idéal créé par nos littérateurs, nos musiciens et nos poètes, le ciel est toujours bleu, le soleil toujours étincelant, l’amoureux est toujours beau, et si l’ingénue est momentanément persécutée, il y a bien des chances pour qu’à minuit, son mariage s’accomplisse avec le prince charmant dans des lueurs d’apothéose. Nous avons donc pensé qu’il y aurait pour le lecteur un plaisir à retrouver la trace de ces bonnes soirées-là. Entendons-nous. Nous ne sommes pas des encyclopédistes, et il nous est fort indifférent que les chercheurs de l’avenir trouvent dans nos pages des notes historiques sur telle ou telle œuvre; nous ne 3/390 PRÉFACE 4/390 tenons pas à vous raconter à nouveau le sujet de telle comédie, tel opéra, tel ballet que vous connaissez déjà ou que vous avez peut-être oublié. Non, nous voulons simplement faire revivre dans votre cœur l’émotion que vous avez éprouvée, un certain soir, émotion que nous avons notée au passage en club- man impartial, sans préjugé et sans esprit de cote- rie.

  • Jaime Nunó After the Mexican National Anthem 105 Was His Notice in Dwight's Journal of Music, Xxiil/21(January9
    Jaime Nunó after the Mexican National Anthem ENCYCLOPEDJAS ANO OTHER reference works have up to now shabbily neglected Jaime Nunó-especially after his composing of the Mexican national anthem premiered September 15, 1854. In Música y músicos de Latinoamérica (México: Editorial Atlante, S.A., 1947), II, 690, Otto Mayor-Serra compressed his whole career into a scant 33 words but even so got his place of death wrong. Diccionario de la música Labor despite being edited by Nunó's fellow Catalonians Joaquín Pena and Higinio Anglés (Barcelona: Editorial Labor, 1954), did no more than baldly copy Mayer-Serra. Diccionario enciclopédico U. T.E.H.A. (México: Unión Tipográfica Editorial Hispano Americana), VII, 1121, dismissed Nunó with a curt article, giving no details whatsoever conceming his lengthy and illustrious career in the United States. Grove 's Dictionary of Music and Musicians American Supplement. edited by Waldo Selden Pratt and Charles N. Boyd (New York: Macmillan, 1920), 313, covered Nunó's life at better length (224 words) but again gave the wrong place for Nunó's death. Also, the American Supplement failed to mention his visit to Mexico in 1901 (he left Buffalo September 9, returned November 21, 1901). This one sentence summed up the last tour decades of Nunó's lite: "After 1870 (recte 1869J, he lived at Buffalo, teaching, singing and conducting various societies, serving as organist at dif­ ferent churches there and in Rochester, and composing about 50 church-works." Frederick H. Martens's article in the Dictionary oj American Biography (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1934), XIII, 594-595, cited 1878 through 1882 as the years during which Nunó was organist and choirmaster of St.

  • 122 a Century of Grand Opera in Philadelphia. Music Is As Old As The
    122 A Century of Grand Opera in Philadelphia. A CENTURY OF GRAND OPERA IN PHILADELPHIA. A Historical Summary read before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Monday Evening, January 12, 1920. BY JOHN CURTIS. Music is as old as the world itself; the Drama dates from before the Christian era. Combined in the form of Grand Opera as we know it today they delighted the Florentines in the sixteenth century, when Peri gave "Dafne" to the world, although the ancient Greeks listened to great choruses as incidents of their comedies and tragedies. Started by Peri, opera gradually found its way to France, Germany, and through Europe. It was the last form of entertainment to cross the At- lantic to the new world, and while some works of the great old-time composers were heard in New York, Charleston and New Orleans in the eighteenth century, Philadelphia did not experience the pleasure until 1818 was drawing to a close, and so this city rounded out its first century of Grand Opera a little more than a year ago. But it was a century full of interest and incident. In those hundred years Philadelphia heard 276 different Grand Operas. Thirty of these were first heard in America on a Philadelphia stage, and fourteen had their first presentation on any stage in this city. There were times when half a dozen travelling companies bid for our patronage each season; now we have one. One year Mr. Hinrichs gave us seven solid months of opera, with seven performances weekly; now we are permitted to attend sixteen performances a year, unless some wandering organization cares to take a chance with us.
