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. -
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. -
Andréas Hallén's Letters to Hans
”Klappern und wieder klappern! Die Leute glauben nur was gedruckt steht.” ”Klappern und wieder klappern! Die Leute glauben nur was gedruckt steht.”1 Andréas Hallén’s Letters to Hans Herrig. A Contribution to the Swedish-German Cultural Contacts in the Late Nineteenth Century Martin Knust It is beyond question that the composer Andréas Hallén (1846–1925) never stood in the front line of Swedish musical life. Nevertheless, the ways he composed and promoted his music have to be regarded as very advanced for his time. As this study reveals, Hallén’s work as a composer and music critic may have served as a model for the next generation of composers in Sweden. Moreover, his skills as an orchestra- tor as well as his cleverness in building up networks on the Continent can hardly be overestimated. Hallén turns out to have been quite a modern composer in that he took over the latest music technologies and adapted them to a certain music market. The study of Hallén and his work exposes certain musical and cultural developments that were characteristic for Sweden at the turn of the century. Documents that just recently became accessible to research indicate that it is time to re-evaluate Hallén’s role in Swedish musical life. Correspondence between opera composers and their librettists provides us with a wealth of details about the genesis of these interdisciplinary art works and sometimes even, like the correspondence Strauss–Hofmannsthal, about the essence of opera itself. In the case of the Swedish composer Andréas2 Hallén, his first opera Harald der Wiking was not only an interdisciplinary but also an international project because he worked together with the German dramatist Hans Herrig (1845–1892). -
Památník Zpěvačky Marty Procházkové, Manželky Ludevíta Procházky 3 a R T I C U L I

Ludevíta Procházky Dnes není její jméno uvedeno ani v několikasvazkovém slovníku zpěváků Großes Sängerlexikon2 ani v Hudebním divadle v českých zemích (Osobnosti 19. století).3 Motto, které je předesláno tomuto článku, vepsala ja- ko poslední zápis do památníku Marty Procházkové Ga- briela Preissová. A jistě se ptáte, co měly tyto dvě ženy The Album of Marta Procházková, the společného. Nevíme, zda spisovatelka Gabriela Preissová znala pěvkyni Martu Procházkovou za jejího života, spíše wife of Ludevít Procházka nikoli. Jistě jí ale o ní vyprávěla její snacha Milka Preis- The article is dedicated to singer Martha Procházková, sová, rozená Procházková, neteř Marty a Ludevíta Pro- born Reisinger (1849-1903), the wife of Ludevít Procház- cházkových.

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. -

Ópera Y Política En El México Decimonónico: El Caso De Amilcare Roncari*

El caso ilustra las intrincadas redes de apoyos recíprocos y conflictos frecuentes que, en el México del siglo xix, se tejían entre los empresarios y artistas de la ópera, por un lado, y las autoridades políticas, por el otro. Se argumenta que los gober- nantes sabían que la ópera era un símbolo poderoso de civilización y progreso y, por lo tanto, la empleaban con frecuencia como fuente de legitimidad; a cambio, los empresarios recibían grandes apoyos, financieros, jurídicos y sim- bólicos de parte de las instituciones políticas, tanto locales como nacionales. Palabras clave: ópera; guerra de Reforma; México; empresarios; Amilcare Roncari. * Este artículo se basa en la investigación que realicé para mi tesis doctoral.

However, in terms of "discoverability" (to use the current term), it is not enough to represent each of the 600-plus titles in the online catalog. We hope that our students, faculty, and other researchers will appreciate this series ofannotated guides to our periodicals, broken down into basic themes (politics, music, science and medicine, children, education, women, etc.), MUSIC all of which have been compiled by Watkinson Trustee and Introduction volunteer Dr. Leonard Banco.
