J 47 Tremont Street^ Boston. 942 Symphony in C major, No. 7 Franz Schubert (Bom at Lichtenthal, Vienna, Jan. 31, 1797; died at Vienna, Nov. 19, 1828.) The manuscript of this symphony, numbered 7 in the Breitkopf & Hartel list and sometimes known as No. 10, bears the date March, 1828. It is said that Schubert gave the work to the Musikverein of Vienna for performance; that the parts were distributed; that it was even tried in rehearsal; that its length and difficulty were against it, and it was withdrawn on Schubert's own advice in favor of his earlier Symphony in C, No. 6 (written in 18 17). All this has been doubted; but the symphony is entered in the catalogue of the society under the year 1828, and the statements just quoted have been fully substantiated. Schubert said, when he gave the work to the Musikverein, that he was through with songs, and should henceforth confine himself to opera and symphony. It has been said that the first performance of the symphony was at Leipsic in 1839. This statement is not true. Schubert himself never heard the work; but it was performed at a concert of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, Vienna, December 14, 1828, and repeated March 12, 1829. It was then forgotten, until Schumann visited Vienna in 1838, and looked over the mass of manuscripts then in the possession of Schubert's brother Ferdinand. Schumann sent a transcript of the sym- phony to Mendelssohn for the Gewandhaus concerts, Leipsic. It was produced at the concert of March 21, 1839, under Mendelssohn's direc- tion, and repeated three times during the following season,—December 12, 1839, March 12 and April 3, 1840. Mendelssohn made some cuts in the work for these performances. The score and parts were pub- lished in January, 1850.* * Hanslick says in "Geschichte des Concertwesens in Wien" (Vienna, 1869) that the sixth, not the ninth, symphony was performed at the concert In Vienna, December 14, 1828; that the ninth was first heard in Vienna in 1839, when only the first and second movements were played, and separated by an aria of Eonizetti; that the first complete performance at Vienna was in 1850. Grove makes the same statement. But see Richard Heuberger's "Franz Schubert" (Berlin, 1902), p. 87.

Mi The first performance in Boston was at a concert, October 6, 1852, when the small orchestra was led by Mr. Suck. We are told that on this occasion the first violins were increased to four, two extra 'cellos took the place of the bassoons, and a second oboe was added. The Germania Orchestra played the symphony in 1853 and 1854, and the first per- formance at a Philharmonic Concert was on March 14, 1857. The first performance in New York was on January 11, 1851, by the Philharmonic Society, led by Mr. Hisfeld. The manuscript is full of alterations, and as a rule Schubert made few changes or corrections in his score. In this symphony alterations are found at the very beginning. Only the Finale seems to have satis- fied him as originally conceived, and this Finale is written as though at headlong speed. The symphony is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, three trombones, kettledrums, strings. There is a story that Schubert was afraid he had made too free use of trombones, and asked the advice of Franz Lachner. The second theme of the first movement has a decidedly Slav-Hun- garian character, and this character colors other portions of the sym- phony both in melody and general mood.

It may also be remarked that the scherzo is not based on the old menuet form, and that there is more thematic development than was customary in such movements at that period. There is a curious tradition—a foolish invention is perhaps the better phrase—that the Finale illustrates the story of Phaeton and his cele- brated experience as driver of Apollo's chariot. Others find in the Finale a reminiscence of the terrible approach of the Stone-man toward the supper-table of Don Giovanni. Schumann, after a performance of the symphony at Leipsic, wrote a rhapsody which might well take the place of an analysis: " Often, when looking on Vienna from the mountain heights, I thought how many times the restless eye of Beethoven may have scanned that distant Alpine range, how dreamily Mozart may have watched the course of the Danube which seems to thread its way through every grove and forest, and how often Father Haydn looked at the spire of St.

  • Heraldic Terms
    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.

  • Design Your Own Coat of Arms and Learn About Heraldry
    DESIGN YOUR OWN COAT OF ARMS This picture from the thirteenth-century wall paintings at All Saints Church Claverley, Shropshire, shows a knight who could be the emperor Charlemagne, carrying a shield with an eagle on it. This is a heraldic design. WHAT IS HERALDRY? Heraldry is the use of a design on a shield by which the person carrying it could be identified. Nobody else could use the design which would usually be passed on from father to son. When heraldry began, about the middle of the twelfth century, it was knights and noblemen who carried such coats of arms, but the idea spread. Women very quickly started to use heraldry and sometimes a coat of arms would be associated with a particular job rather than a person, so the bishop would have a coat of arms to identify him as the bishop of a particular area. Towns and colleges could also have a coat of arms. Your school may have one. Today one of the best-known coats of arms is the three lions of the England football team, a design which goes back to the three gold lions on a red background carried by medieval kings of England. Sometimes you will find a shield is divided in half, or into four quarters, or more. Each section might represent different members of a family, a marriage relationship, or different things about a person. WHAT CAN BE ON A COAT OF ARMS? Medieval coats of arms were often very simple, perhaps a background colour with a single shape (called an ‘ordinary’) or animal or object (called a ‘charge’) on it.

  • Components of the Coat of Arms
    Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art SSttaarrtt with AArrtt Medieval Europe HERALDRY 101: Components of the Coat of Arms: The field is the primary component of a coat of arms. A variety of shield shapes were used for the field. Generally, only men and married women employed a shield for their arms field. Unmarried women (and often male members of the clergy) would use a lozenge (diamond shape) or oval. Many fields used for modern coats of arms are circles. The tinctures for coats of arms fell into three categories: metals, colors, and furs. The metals were gold (yellow) and silver (white). The traditional colors are: red, blue, green, purple, and black. The colors were limited by the natural pigments available in Medieval Europe. The shield can also be decorated with patterns representing vair (squirrel) and ermine. One of the rules governing tinctures is that metal cannot be placed against another metal; metal should be placed against a color so that they create a visual contrast that can easily be seen from a distance. The charges or devices (symbols) on coats of arms are quite varied and can include: ordinaries and sub-ordinaries (stripes and other means of partition), flora and fauna (plants and animals both real and imagined), man-made objects (castles, keys, weapons, etc.), celestial objects, and human forms (in whole or in part). In the coats of arms of nobles and lords, the traditional charges often had symbolic meanings (dogs for example were symbols for loyalty). In canting arms (punning arms) used by tradesmen and families, the charges often referenced the name (a hammer for Smith, a boar for Bacon).

Representing Animals in Early Modern English Heraldry KATHRYN WILL he Blazon of Gentrie, a 1586 book on heraldry written by John Ferne, uses a fictional dialogue between a herald and a knight to discuss “discourses of armes and of gentry,” including “the bearing, and blazon of cote- T armors.”1 Midway through the book, Paradinus, the herald, describes an earlier writer’s take on the meanings of certain animals that may appear on coats of arms. According to “the fragments of Iacobus Capellanus,” he observes, “the Cuckow is for ingratitude, and the Doue for thankefulnesse,” lions signify “courage, furie and rage,” and “the flye is taken for a shamelesse or impudent person.” After listing over a dozen of these symbolic creatures, however, Paradinus cautions
