J. 255 The Luxury of a Paris Inspired COAT The words "Copy of a Paris Model" convey much that is important to the feminine mind; that is why Chandler & Co., specialists in fashion, present to their discriminating customers the ultimate in magnificent coats. These coats of imported broadtail cloth, cressella and lerona, nearly enveloped in hugh shawls, borders and cuffs of rich beaver, kit fox, Persian lamb, caracul and other effective furs, are replicas of successful models created by Vionnet, Martial et Armand, Molyneux and many other equally prominent Parisian designers. Their details of workmanship and finish are the peer of any coat shown on the Rue^de la Paix, or seen at any of the smart gathering places of Paris — but they are priced far below the landed cost of the original models. $115 to $165 to $245 Women's and Misses' Coats, Third Floor CijattMer Sc Co.

The one in E-flat is dated June 26, the one in G minor July 25, the one in C major with the fugue-finale August 10. His other works of that year are of little importance with the exception of a piano concerto in D major which he played at the coronation festivities of Leopold II. at Frankfort in 1790. There are canons and piano pieces ; there is the orchestration of Handel's "Acis and Galatea" ; there are six German dances and twelve min- uets for orchestra. Xor are the works composed in 1789 of interest with the exception of the clarinet quintet and a string quartet dedi- cated to the King of Prussia. Again we find dances for orchestra, twelve minuets and twelve German dances. Why is this ? 1787 was the year of "Don Giovanni" ; 1790, the year of "Cosil fan tutte." Was Mozart, as some say, exhausted by the feat of producing three symphonies in such a short time? Or was there some reason for discouragement and consequent idleness? The Bitter Gluck, composer to the Emperor Joseph II., died No- vember 15, 1787, and thus resigned his position with salary of two The best book on music that has yet come from America. —^Musical Opinion, London Music: An Art and A Language 'By WALTER % SPALDING Professor of Music, Harvard University CONTENTS I.

  • Marie Collier: a Life
    Marie Collier: a life Kim Kemmis A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History The University of Sydney 2018 Figure 1. Publicity photo: the housewife diva, 3 July 1965 (Alamy) i Abstract The Australian soprano Marie Collier (1927-1971) is generally remembered for two things: for her performance of the title role in Puccini’s Tosca, especially when she replaced the controversial singer Maria Callas at late notice in 1965; and her tragic death in a fall from a window at the age of forty-four. The focus on Tosca, and the mythology that has grown around the manner of her death, have obscured Collier’s considerable achievements. She sang traditional repertoire with great success in the major opera houses of Europe, North and South America and Australia, and became celebrated for her pioneering performances of twentieth-century works now regularly performed alongside the traditional canon. Collier’s experiences reveal much about post-World War II Australian identity and cultural values, about the ways in which the making of opera changed throughout the world in the 1950s and 1960s, and how women negotiated their changing status and prospects through that period. She exercised her profession in an era when the opera industry became globalised, creating and controlling an image of herself as the ‘housewife-diva’, maintaining her identity as an Australian artist on the international scene, and developing a successful career at the highest level of her artform while creating a fulfilling home life. This study considers the circumstances and mythology of Marie Collier’s death, but more importantly shows her as a woman of the mid-twentieth century navigating the professional and personal spheres to achieve her vision of a life that included art, work and family.

  • 'Musical Pitch Ought to Be One from Pole to Pole': Touring Musicians and the Issue of Performing Pitch in Late Nineteenth
    2011 © Simon Purtell, Context 35/36 (2010/2011): 111–25. ‘Musical Pitch ought to be One from Pole to Pole’: Touring Musicians and the Issue of Performing Pitch in Late Nineteenth- and Early Twentieth-century Melbourne Simon Purtell In 1869, English vocal teacher Charles Bishenden complained that the high performing pitch in use in England was ‘ruinous to the voice.’ The high pitch, he reported, was the very reason why many European singers did not perform in Britain.1 ‘For a Continental larynx,’ French soprano Blanche Marchesi (1863–1940) later explained, ‘it is a real torture to sing to different pitches.’ ‘The muscles of a trained larynx act like fine clockwork,’ she wrote, and ‘a change of tone, up or down, alters the precision of their action.’ For this reason, Marchesi believed that ‘musical pitch ought to be one from pole to pole.’2 A standard of performing pitch comprises three fundamental concepts: sound frequency, note-name, and standard. A sound frequency, expressed in Hertz (Hz) or cycles per second (cps), becomes a pitch when assigned to a note in the musical scale, thus determining the pitch of every other note in a particular system of tuning. If, in equal temperament, the A directly above middle C equals 440 Hz, then the C directly above it equals 523.25 Hz. A pitch that is agreed upon, at a given time and place, as the reference point for building and tuning musical instruments to play together, is a pitch standard. Standards of pitch are usually expressed in relation to the note A directly above middle C.

  • The New York Flute Club
    “When I was growing up in New York City, the New York Flute Club was my first exposure to the wider world of the flute and to the special camaraderie that flutists share.” —Robert Dick The New York Flute Club A Centennial History Nancy Toff Presidents The New York Flute Club: A Centennial History The beginnings were decidedly modest, but also a bit of a provocation in a New York City apartment building: in December 1920, Georges Barrère, principal flutist of the New York Symphony Orchestra and flute teacher at the Institute of Musical Art, invited 16 flutists to his apartment to play the Kuhlau Grand Quartet, four to a part. We don’t know what the neighbors thought, but the flutists were sufficiently inspired that they started a club. The New York Flute Club was officially incorporated on December 31, 1920; the first regular meeting took place on Georges Barrère January 9, 1921. The inaugural board (1920–44) consisted of Barrère, president; Mrs. Eliot John Wummer Sue Ann Kahn Henderson (professional name: May Lyle (1944–47) (1989–92) Smith), first VP; William Kincaid, then a Milton Wittgenstein Nancy Toff member of the New York Chamber Music (1947–52) (1992–95, 2008–11, 2018–present) Society, second VP; Milton Wittgenstein, Mildred Hunt Wummer Rie Schmidt on staff at WQXR, recording secretary; (1952–55, 1963–64) (1995–98) and flutist-composer Lamar Stringfield, Frederick Wilkins Patricia Spencer treasurer.
