  • John Stanley a Miracle of Art and Nature
    John Stanley, “A Miracle of Art and Nature”: The Role of Disability in the Life and Career of a Blind Eighteenth-Century Musician by John Richard Prescott Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Professor James Davies Professor Susan Schweik Fall 2011 Abstract John Stanley, “A Miracle of Art and Nature”: The Role of Disability in the Life and Career of a Blind Eighteenth-Century Musician by John Richard Prescott Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair This dissertation explores the life and career of John Stanley, an eighteenth-century blind organist, composer, conductor and impresario. Most historians of blindness discuss Stanley but merely repeat biographical material without adding any particular insights relating to his blindness. As for twentieth-century musicologists, they have largely ignored Stanley’s blindness. The conclusion is that Stanley’s blindness, despite being present in most of his reception, is not treated as a defining factor. This study pursues new questions about Stanley’s blindness. His disability is given pride of place, and perspectives from the fields of disability studies and minority studies are central to the work. A biographical sketch precedes a discussion of the role of Stanley’s blindness in his reception. The central role of Stanley’s amanuensis and sister-in-law, Anne Arlond, leads to a discussion of issues of gender, and the general invisibility of caregivers. Chapter 2 explores those aspects of Stanley’s life that required an engagement with literate music.

  • Chapter X: Ranelagh Gardens
    136 CHAPTER 7: RANELAGH GARDENS The Ranelagh Gardens season was an easy one for Beard to combine with his work at the theatre. Many of the musicians were the same, as well as the composers. The audience, too, came from the same social strata – from Royalty, via the aristocracy, down to the well-heeled and the nouveau riche: anyone, indeed who could afford the 2s 6d entrance fee.1 The music that they would have heard would be similar to the interval music at the London theatres, mixed together with even more ephemeral songs and ballads that scarcely outlived one season. So many of these were published subsequently, together with the names of the performer (e.g. ‘as sung by Mr Beard at Ranelagh Gardens’), that together they compose a very solid corpus of contemporary music.2 But, like pop-songs today, they were here today and gone tomorrow. Beard’s job of learning all this new material was one of the reasons that he was paid good money by the directors of the Gardens. insert ‘Myrtilla’ song-sheet, with heading “sung by Mr Beard at Ranelagh” Ranelagh had sprung up in the early 1740s as a more up-market version of Vauxhall and Marylebone Gardens. These had been offering food, drink and music in an elaborate garden setting since the mid-1730s. Their one drawback was that most of the entertainment was provided out of doors. Although they each built large supper rooms in which the entertainment could be carried on in bad weather, there are many reports of shoes and expensive clothes being ruined by rain and puddles, despite the management laying down a ‘platform entirely covered in’ to enable them to circumvent the worst areas.3 Ranelagh turned the idea of the Pleasure Gardens on its head and made the principal feature an elegant Rotunda of vast proportions.
