  • The Irish Ring Cycle & Its Victorian Popularity Jerry Nolan the Irish Ring Entered the British Musical Repertoire As a Resul
    The Irish Ring Cycle & its Victorian Popularity Jerry Nolan The Irish Ring entered the British musical repertoire as a result of the practice of Victorian operatic companies, who often presented three very popular operettas in sequence, during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. At first, the sequence was known as the English Ring, but gradually it became better known as the Irish Ring. The operettas brought together were Michael William Balfe’s The Bohemian Girl, William Vincent Wallace’s Maritana and Julius Benedict’s The Lily of Killarney. The composers of these works never envisaged anything like such a Ring Cycle, which nevertheless became popular with music-lovers in opera houses throughout the world, and continued to be frequently performed in Britain into the twentieth century by companies like the Carl Rosa Opera Company. The Bohemian Girl was first produced at Drury Lane Theatre on November 27, 1843 when Julius Benedict was the musical director there and had invited Michael William Balfe, a much travelled Dubliner, to conduct the first performance with stage direction by Alfred Bunn. Balfe’s operetta, using the bare bones of a story which can be traced back to Cervantes, was given a hurried and somewhat misleading title because the heroine was an Austrian who had been raised as a gypsy, a fact which the English title obscures with its mistranslation of the French term ‘bohemienne’, which means ‘Gypsy Girl’, (although the operetta’s setting was, indeed, Bohemia). In spite of some harsh reviews from the London critics, The Bohemian Girl ran for more than a hundred performances and that 1 success was quickly followed by German, Italian and French performances which ensured the European-wide and American popularity of The Bohemian Girl.

  • Howard Glover's Opera Ruy Blas: Harbinger of English Romantic
    Howard Glover’s Opera Ruy Blas: harbinger of English Romantic Opera’s demise? Russell Burdekin, Adapted from a paper given at the Music in Nineteenth Century Britain Conference, Canterbury Christ Church University, July 5, 2019. (September 27, 2019 - minor update and corrections) ( Two further supporting articles were written, one on the composer, Howard Glover, see http://englishromanticopera.org/composers/glover/Howard_Glover_Life_and_Career.pdf and the other on the various 19th century English adaptations of Victor Hugo’s play, Ruy Blas, see http://englishromanticopera.org/operas/Ruy_Blas/Victor_Hugo_Ruy_Blas_ and_its_19th_century_English_adaptations.pdf ) English language opera from the 19th century is not often heard today but that is not for lack of compositions. The century can be roughly divided into three. The first third was a fragmented effort mainly of adaptations and imitations with Carl Maria von Weber’s Oberon the only original work still occasionally performed. The next phase, which is the focus of this talk, is sometimes labelled English Romantic Opera. It began in 1834 with the reopening of the English Opera House and proceeded in fits and starts during the next 30 or so years producing over 70 largely original operas, of which Michael William Balfe’s The Bohemian Girl is probably the best known. The closure of the Pyne-Harrison company in 1864 essentially marked its end, although there were a few further operas over the following two years under a short lived successor organisation. There was then a gap of nearly 10 years until Frederick Cowen’s Pauline for the Carl Rosa Company in 1875. Cowen (241-242) put its failure partly down to its use of the dialogue and song model that was the typical format for English Romantic Opera.

  • The Harpers' Legacy: Irish National Airs and Pianoforte Composers
    The Harpers’ Legacy: Irish National Airs and Pianoforte Composers UNA HUNT Sing, sweet Harp, oh sing to me Some song of ancient days Whose sounds, in this sad memory Long buried dreams shall raise.1 In Ireland, harpers were part of an ancient culture, as the words of that song of Tho- mas Moore suggest, and they enjoyed a high reputation in Europe from the twelfth century onwards.2 When they began to die out, the harpers’ music was collected and written down, and has since become an unique and important legacy of indigenous art. Furthermore, in the nineteenth century the harpers’ airs enjoyed renewed popula- rity throughout Europe as the basis for many variations, fantasias and other works for solo piano. The aim of this article is to define the use of Irish airs in nineteenth-century piano music and to suggest reasons for the trend. To this end, a catalogue of relevant works published between c1770 and c1940 forms an appendix to the article and demonstrates the diversity and surprisingly wide-ranging nature of this repertoire. It will be shown that some of the popularity of Irish tunes can be attributed to Thomas Moore’s almost universally known drawing-room songs, the Irish Melodies. The ma- jority of these songs were based on tunes collected by Edward Bunting and others, to which Moore added words in English. At the height of their fame, the Irish Melodies entered the realm of popular culture, spreading throughout Europe and America and prompting pianist-composers to write and play variations, rondos and fantasias using the best-known songs.

  • Wallace, Balfe and Mr Bunn by Bernard Farrell Director: Ben Barnes Musical Director
    Wallace, Balfe and Mr Bunn by Bernard Farrell Director: Ben Barnes Musical Director: Kevin O’Carroll Lighting Designer: Nick McCall Designer: Blaithin Sheerin Theatre Royal, Waterford Reviewed: November 6th Brendan Farrell’s new musical play is set in the Theatre Royal in the present day and is presented as the posthumous production of Mr Alfred Bunn the original producer of composers William Vincent Wallace, Michael Balfe and Sir Julius Benedict, contemporaries working in musical theatre in London the 1800s. The play features a cast of four actors supported by a musical chorus, soloists and an orchestra and is a light-hearted look at the respective careers of the eponymous characters, interspersed with musical interludes featuring some of their popular compositions such as Balfe’s The Bohemian Girl, Wallace’s Maritana and Benedict’s The Lily of Killarney. Designer Blaithin Sheerin chooses minimal stage furniture and situates it so as to establish and capture the opposing personalities of Wallace and Balfe. Balfe sits on an upper class Victorian drawing room chair under the sepia gaze of family photographs while Wallace sits at a clerk’s desk surrounded by miscellanea representing his penchant for the exotic. Bunn stands for the most part of the play centre-stage under a large illuminated clock which tells the real time and which serves as a visual reminder that he is running the show. Teal velvet curtains tied back on either side of the stage simply and stylishly suggest the lush theatricality of the Victorian era and this simplicity in the visual picture allows the soloists and chorus, whose costumes evoke the lavish theatrical fashion of the day, to have a contrasting and striking visual effect.

THE McCORMACK EDITION • 5 moments in this volume, just as they shared that John Scarry 8.111315 John Notes on the Song Texts McCORMACK In concert and on records, John McCormack’s legendary diction was one of his most admired qualities. However, with the passage of time, some antiquated words in some song texts need explanation for the modern listener. The Robert Burns poem Bonnie Wee Thing has several words from the Scottish dialect that need clarification. 1914-1915 “Canny” is best explained as “gentle” or “mild”. “Tine” is further removed from English, and translates as “lose”. Equally removed is “stounds” which means “with a sudden pang of the heart”. From Scottish dialect to Irish Gaelic is even more of a linguistic leap. Because McCormack’s concert Acoustic Recordings audiences were heavily populated by Irish immigrants for whom their native land was a living memory, we are not surprised that many of the Irish songs he sang very often included words taken directly from Gaelic. The sounds and meanings of these words would have an immediate emotional effect on these audiences. More than one word in the song Avourneen requires translation. “Erin” refers to the Gaelic name for Ireland, while additional words include the song title itself (“Avourneen” is not a name, but a term of endearment).

  • The Musical World (1836-1865) Copyright © 1996 RIPM Consortium Ltd Répertoire International De La Presse Musicale (
    Introduction to: Richard Kitson, The Musical World (1836-1865) Copyright © 1996 RIPM Consortium Ltd Répertoire international de la presse musicale (www.ripm.org) The Musical World from 1836 to 1865 The preeminent nineteenth-century British music journal, The Musical World; a Weekly Record of Musical Science, Literature, and Intelligence, was published weekly in London from 18 March 1836 to 24 January 1891.l This RIPM publication deals with the journal from its inception to 30 December 1865. For many years, and particularly during the period represented by the present publication, the journal was without rival in Great Britain, and for this reason played an important role in the progress of music in the English-speaking world, both in the British Isles, North America and Australasia.2 Throughout The Musical World’s remarkable publication run only one issue failed to appear, that of 17 April 1845. From its inception until 8 January 1846 the journal was published on Thursdays; from 17 January 1846 until its demise (24 January 1891), on Saturdays.4 The number of pages in each issue varies somewhat during the first decade of publication. From 1836 through 1842 issues contain sixteen pages, while during the first half of 1843 they contain either six, eight or twelve pages. For the remainder of 1843 and for most of 1844 each issue contains eight pages. In 1845 the number increases to twelve pages and later to sixteen. Thereafter the sixteen-page format is employed with minor exceptions. The journal's dimensions from 18 March 1836 to 30 December 1841 are that of a pocket book (small octavo), in which the pages are laid out in single columns.
