It was first heard at a festival performance in the Casino Theatre for the returning soldiers on 4th February 1851, and quickly became so popular that it also entered Lumbye’s permanent repertoire at Tivoli, where it was played for the first time on 29th July of the same year, but now with the title En avant, Marche. It offers a fine example of Lumbye’s sure grasp of the genre of military music, and since its first performance has also become a permanent element in Danish military music in arrangements for brass ensemble. 2 Döbler’s Zauber Galop [Döbler’s Magic Galop] (1841) Inspired by the so-called “evening entertainments” of the magician Louis Döbler on the stage of the Royal Theatre and Court Theatre in the spring of 1841, Lumbye composed his Magic Galop, which was first performed at a concert in Rosenborg Gardens on 31st August of that year. Döbler, with his arts of prestidigitation and his so-called “dissolving views”, was one of the most famous magicians of the time, and toured the whole of Europe, appearing before royalty, the nobility and the general public. His visit to Copenhagen in 1841 gave the impulse to a whole series of visiting professional conjurers. Lumbye’s bubbling galop clearly reflects the enthusiasm created in the public for Döbler’s magic performances, and counts among his finest galops. It was published shortly after the first performance in a piano arrangement and as part of a collection of favourite dances under the general title of Terpsichore. 3 Alhambra, Romantisk Vals [Alhambra, Romantic Waltz] (1847) It was for an Arabian festival at Tivoli that Lumbye composed his Alhambra suite of romantic waltzes, which were first performed at a concert there on 6th August 1847. The set is introduced by an Andante, followed by five waltzes and a finale, in which many motifs from the second waltz recur, among others. The suite of waltzes is characterized by its very lyrical, and almost mystical, introduction, together with great diversity between the individual waltzes, which together give the suite the character of a miniature tone poem. With the constant shifts in character in each waltz, the work also stands out as one of the most distinctive suites of waltzes that Lumbye wrote. 4 Tivoli Bazar Tsching-Tching Polka (1843) At the opening of the Tivoli Garden in the summer of 1843, one of the attractions contained the “Bazaar”, where many Far Eastern booths offered their attractions and exotic goods for sale to visitors. The Chinese booth in the Bazaar, which was allegedly built according to a drawing “sent by the Chinese Emperor to the Manager”, was among the most popular attractions for the public. Lumbye soon composed his Tsching-Tching Polka as a tribute and an advertisement for this exotic booth. It was completed on 8th September 1843, and first performed at a concert at Tivoli a week later, on 15th September. Hans Christian Lumbye 5 Les Zouaves, Galop (1859) (Det Kongelige Bibliotek, Copenhagen) The Zouaves were an elite regiment of French infantry, established after France’s conquest of Algeria in 1830. This regiment was enlarged in 1831 to three battalions, and in 1852 Napoleon III made an additional regiment out of each battalion, while the imperial guard from that year itself created a Zouave regiment with two battalions. From that time, the Zouave regiments consisted predominantly of specially selected soldiers from Paris, who had participated and fought with 8.225263 10 3 8.225263 225263 bk Lumbye 19/09/2003 12:36 pm Page 4 distinction in their country’s war.

  • Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
    Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Doubt was expressed by his contemporaries as to the truth of Marco Polo’s account of his years at the court of the Mongol Emperor of China. For some he was known as a man of a million lies, and one recent scholar has plausibly suggested that the account of his travels was a fiction inspired by a family dispute. There is, though, no doubt about the musical treasures daily uncovered by the Marco Polo record label. To paraphrase Marco Polo himself: All people who wish to know the varied music of men and the peculiarities of the various regions of the world, buy these recordings and listen with open ears. The original concept of the Marco Polo label was to bring to listeners unknown compositions by well-known composers. There was, at the same time, an ambition to bring the East to the West. Since then there have been many changes in public taste and in the availability of recorded music. Composers once little known are now easily available in recordings. Marco Polo, in consequence, has set out on further adventures of discovery and exploration. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again. In addition to pioneering recordings of the operas of Franz Schreker, Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound), Die Gezeichneten (The Marked Ones) and Die Flammen (The Flames), were three operas by Wagner’s son, Siegfried. Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich and Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan) explore a mysterious medieval world of German legend in a musical language more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck than to that of his father.

  • Ten Little Title Tunes – Index INDEX
    856 AABA – advert (Seven-Up) Ten Little Title Tunes – Index INDEX Explanations and tips. Apart from the usual listing of names (people, musical works, films, TV pro- grammes, etc.), of topics discussed, and of terms presented in the book, this index also includes many of the connotations provided by respondents (e.g. SAD, ‘ALWAYS HAS BEEN’), categories of such connotation (e.g. SAD, STASIS) and constructional descriptors of music linked to such categories (see, for example, under CHORD, MODES, SOUND PROCESSING, TEMPO). Readers can therefore check our discussion of musical semiosis in terms of both signfier and signified. Since this index would have swelled to even more unwieldy proportions if we had lumped all individual connotations (VVAs) under their respective taxonomic heading, readers wishing to check our discussion of a particular connotation or response subcategory are advised to consult appendices 3 and 4 for related concepts. To check which particular VVA occurred in conjunction with which tune, see appendix 3. To check our taxonomy of responses, see appendix 4. Political incorrectness. Several categories produced in the indexing process come across as politically in- correct in the extreme (see, for example, MEN, MENTAL DISORDER, WOMEN). Such categorisation in no way rep- resents the views of either author. It does, however, we would hope, reflect the true nature of the implicit, musicogenic, categorisation discussed and documented in this book (see last chapter for explanation). Waivers. The authors do not guarantee that this index: [1] includes every single page reference to every con- cept listed below, nor every single concept occurring in the book; [2] provides 100% accuracy of page refer- encing, although a four-hour random check did produce satisfactory results.
