Courtesy of the Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound, Stanford University Libraries, Stanford, Calif. Biography / Administrative History Theodore Fagan, of Jewish-English background was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Feb. 21, 1921. His early education included five years at a boarding school in England. Back in Argentina he completed a degree in Civil Engineering (1943). Two years later he came to New York, and within months was hired as a United Nations Spanish, French and English interpreter. One of his earlier assignments included the Nuremberg War Trials (1946), and through his thirty-year long involvement with the UN he interpreted speeches from leaders such as Prime Minister Fidel Castro and President L?opold S. Senghor of Senegal. Fagan was an indefatigable writer, his many writings include two historical novels --on Evita Per?n, and on the famous 19th century Parisian lawsuit of La Ronci?re-- a historical drama, Elizabeth Rex, produced in Los Angeles (1963), and his memoirs on his long association with the United Nations. Fagan had a life-long passion for music and collected music memorabilia and recordings. After retiring form his work at the UN, at age 55, he collaborated with William R. Moran on The encyclopedic discography of Victor recordings. Matrix series 1 through 4999: the Victor Talking Machine Company, 24 April 1903 to 7 January 1908, published by Greenwood Press in 1986. Fagan died in New York in 1987. Scope and Content of Collection Guide to the Ted Fagan Collection ARS-0008 2 Throughout his life and multiple travels associated with his UN work, Ted Fagan collected music memorabilia, and over a thousand reel to reel recordings, which are primarily operatic. Fagan recorded several compilations of selected opera singers, often organized by voice range. Among the reel to reels are the annual UN Human Rights Day concerts and some intriguing tapes such as the contested recordings of Richard Wagner conducting a passage of Act II of Tristan und Isolde, presumably from 1880, and possibly of soprano Jenny Lind singing Ah! non giunge, from Bellini?s Sonnambula, from 1883. Among the music memorabilia are two Medieval manuscripts, a notated missal leaf with musical notation, from about the late 10th and early 11th century and a leaf from the church canon from the 12th or 13th century; a British engraved vocal piece from the 18th century; a letter by Gaspare Spontini from 1847 and a program autographed by Aaron Copland. Among the art works are two engravings depicting Fryderyk Chopin and Marie Falcon, a lithograph of Jenny Lind, and about a dozen etchings by the Spanish artist Vicente Gand?a. The collection also includes over fifty photographs, most of which are autographed, Fagan?s multiple writings, and a large body of documents relating to the United Nations and interpreting.

  • George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)
    George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) Messiah Handel was, like most composers of his day, a fast worker, but few of his scores show such evidence of having been written at white heat as that of Messiah, which was set down on paper in a mere 24 days, between 22 August and 14 September 1741. Earlier the same year he had received an invitation from the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, to visit Dublin in order to give some concerts in aid of charitable institutions in the city, and it was probably with this impending concert tour in view that he composed his new oratorio. His early biographer John Mainwaring, in his Memoirs of the Life of the late George Frederic Handel published in 1760, a year after the composer's death, seems to have been responsible for the widely credited theory that Handel went to Ireland after "his Messiah had met with a cold reception" in London, and because "he hoped to find that favour and encouragement in a distant capital, which London seemed to refuse him", but there is no evidence that this was so. Indeed a copy of Mainwaring's book carries a terse note in the margin, in the hand of its original owner, Charles Jennens (who, as Handel's collaborator, had good cause to know) that "Messiah was not performed in London till after his return from Ireland." Moreover, Charles Burney (who as a 15-year-old school boy in Chester witnessed a rehearsal of some of the choruses in Messiah that Handel held there in November 1741 while on his way from London to Dublin) devoted several paragraphs of his General History of Music (1776-89) to proving the falseness of Mainwaring's assertion.

  • Eda Frandsen: a Voyage to the Dark Ages Max Adams
    Eda Frandsen: a voyage to the Dark Ages Max Adams In the so-called Dark Ages, that period between the end of the Roman Empire and the Age of the Vikings, it is easy to imagine a Britain cut off from the civilised world. One imagines woollen- cloaked monks huddling in freezing stone cells; peasants grubbing through the ruins of once-noble towns; an empty sea. As an archaeologist, I know that picture is false. The Dark Ages are obscure: we see them through a glass, darkly; but they were not empty of civilisation, and the seas were very far from being empty. In the days of St Brendan, who is said to have sailed all the way to America in a hide-covered curragh and lived to tell the tale, the Atlantic west of Europe was a busy place. The monasteries and royal halls of Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Cornwall were able, periodically, to enjoy the fruits of Mediterranean vineyards; they exchanged letters and precious books with their counterparts in Rome; occasionally they were visited by travellers from Jerusalem or Alexandria; this was a connected world. In embarking on a series of journeys through Dark Age landscapes, for the most part on foot, in 2013 and 2014, I wanted to experience something of the seaways known to Brendan, St Patrick and the warriors and argonauts of the Early Medieval period. The most vital of these was the Irish Sea, which connected the kingdoms and monasteries of those lands with Gaul, Spain and the maritime of Empire of Byzantium. Who would take me on such an unlikely latter-day pilgrimage? James Mackenzie came to my rescue.

Featuring the mountains of the Apennine chain, which gently slope towards the sea along parallel val- leys, the region is set apart by its rare beauty and noteworthy figures such as Giacomo Leopardi, Raphael, Giovan Battista Pergolesi, Gioachino Rossini, Gaspare Spontini, Father Matteo Ricci and Frederick II, all of whom were born here. This guidebook is meant to acquaint tourists of the third millennium with the most important features of our terri- tory, convincing them to come and visit Marche. Discovering the Marche means taking a path in search of beauty; discovering the Marche means getting to know a land of excellence, close at hand and just waiting to be enjoyed. Discovering the Marche means discovering a region where both culture and the environment are very much a part of the Made in Marche brand. 3 GEOGRAPHY On one side the Apen nines, THE CLIMATE od for beach tourism is July on the other the Adriatic The regionʼs climate is as and August.

I couldn’t believe from the beginning of the first song it could possibly get any more ecstatic and full of emotion, and yet it did. It was a short step from there to Strauss opera for me, and with the birth of YouTube I sat until the early hours of many a morning in my tiny room at Edinburgh University, listening to, watching and obsessing over Der Rosenkavalier’s final trio and presentation of the rose.
