    CONCERT NIGHT WITH THE DAYTON PHILHARMONIC SUNDAY, APRIL 4, 2021, 8pm PROGRAM PAGES Dear “Concert Night…” Listener, Thanks for joining us for our extended program this week, a re-broadcast of a complete, uncut performance of Handel’s Messiah, recorded in December 2010 at Westminster Presbyterian Church in downtown Dayton. The actual program pages for this performance should be somewhere in the DPAA archives or computer system, but so far, they have managed to stay hidden. Angela Whitehead, our wonderful Director of Marketing Communication, who tracks down the program pages we post online for “Concert Night with the Dayton Philharmonic” has scoured the computer drives, gone undercover, paid her usual confidential informants (no, just kidding there), and, sadly, has come up empty. So I’ve reconstructed program pages—of a sort—for this week’s program, including the most important thing: the complete text of the oratorio so you can follow along if you so desire. Thanks for your understanding, Happy Easter, and enjoy the performance!

  • The Royal Music Library and Its Handel Collection
    The Royal Music Library and its Handel Collection Donald Burrows The year 2007 saw several round-figure anniversaries of events associated with Handel’s music, most obviously those of his first and last oratorios – Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno (1707) and its final English version as The Triumph of Time and Truth (1757) – but also that of the first Crystal Palace Handel Festival (1857). Rather less obvious, because it does not relate so directly to Handel’s career or to performances of his music, was the anniversary of the presentation of the Royal Music Library to the Trustees of the British Museum by Queen Elizabeth II, announced on 27 November 1957. Her Majesty’s gift commemorated the two hundredth anniversary of a similar occurrence in 1757, when King George II had given the Old Royal Library to the newly-established British Museum. The Royal Music Library has one of the major collections of source material for Handel’s music, in particular because it includes ninety-six volumes of his musical autographs. There are other important items as well, but it is the autographs that render the Royal Music Library collection indispensable to scholarly work on nearly every one of Handel’s compositions: in addition to their musical content, the pages of the autographs have many details that provide striking images of the composer’s activity (see figs 1-3).1 Before the twentieth century a few favoured musicians and scholars visited the Royal Music Library at various times, and it is perhaps not surprising that the best evidence for such visits comes in connection with references to Handel’s autographs.

    Sun of Composers 2010-2011 Series Concordia Seminary The Chapel of St. Timothy and St. Titus The above diagram, “Sun of Composers,” was designed by Augustus Frederick Christopher Kollmann, in an engraving in Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung, vol. 1, 1799. April 17, 2011, 3:00 p.m. Christoph Wolff says in his monumental book, Johann Sebastian Bach: The Learned Musician, pp. 9 and 10, in the Prologue, “There, at the center, appears the name of Johann Sebastian Bach, surrounded in various layers by the names of other composers, the first layer comprising George Frideric Handel, Carl Heinrich Graun, and Franz Joseph Haydn. And Haydn, whose reputation by that time as Europe’s premier composer was beyond question, is said to have been ‘not unfavorably impressed by it [the diagram], nor minded the proximity to Handel and Graun, nor considered it at all wrong that Johann Sebastian Bach was the center of the sun and hence the man from whom all true musical wisdom proceeded.’” Welcome to Bach at the Sem!
