We have the authority of the Bible* to show that the peacock was one of the Commodities5 that India exported to the Holy Land in ancient times.

  • Musical Landmarks in New York
    MUSICAL LANDMARKS IN NEW YORK By CESAR SAERCHINGER HE great war has stopped, or at least interrupted, the annual exodus of American music students and pilgrims to the shrines T of the muse. What years of agitation on the part of America- first boosters—agitation to keep our students at home and to earn recognition for our great cities as real centers of musical culture—have not succeeded in doing, this world catastrophe has brought about at a stroke, giving an extreme illustration of the proverb concerning the ill wind. Thus New York, for in- stance, has become a great musical center—one might even say the musical center of the world—for a majority of the world's greatest artists and teachers. Even a goodly proportion of its most eminent composers are gathered within its confines. Amer- ica as a whole has correspondingly advanced in rank among musical nations. Never before has native art received such serious attention. Our opera houses produce works by Americans as a matter of course; our concert artists find it popular to in- clude American compositions on their programs; our publishing houses publish new works by Americans as well as by foreigners who before the war would not have thought of choosing an Amer- ican publisher. In a word, America has taken the lead in mu- sical activity. What, then, is lacking? That we are going to retain this supremacy now that peace has come is not likely. But may we not look forward at least to taking our place beside the other great nations of the world, instead of relapsing into the status of a colony paying tribute to the mother country? Can not New York and Boston and Chicago become capitals in the empire of art instead of mere outposts? I am afraid that many of our students and musicians, for four years compelled to "make the best of it" in New York, are already looking eastward, preparing to set sail for Europe, in search of knowledge, inspiration and— atmosphere.

  • Jaime Nunó After the Mexican National Anthem 105 Was His Notice in Dwight's Journal of Music, Xxiil/21(January9
    Jaime Nunó after the Mexican National Anthem ENCYCLOPEDJAS ANO OTHER reference works have up to now shabbily neglected Jaime Nunó-especially after his composing of the Mexican national anthem premiered September 15, 1854. In Música y músicos de Latinoamérica (México: Editorial Atlante, S.A., 1947), II, 690, Otto Mayor-Serra compressed his whole career into a scant 33 words but even so got his place of death wrong. Diccionario de la música Labor despite being edited by Nunó's fellow Catalonians Joaquín Pena and Higinio Anglés (Barcelona: Editorial Labor, 1954), did no more than baldly copy Mayer-Serra. Diccionario enciclopédico U. T.E.H.A. (México: Unión Tipográfica Editorial Hispano Americana), VII, 1121, dismissed Nunó with a curt article, giving no details whatsoever conceming his lengthy and illustrious career in the United States. Grove 's Dictionary of Music and Musicians American Supplement. edited by Waldo Selden Pratt and Charles N. Boyd (New York: Macmillan, 1920), 313, covered Nunó's life at better length (224 words) but again gave the wrong place for Nunó's death. Also, the American Supplement failed to mention his visit to Mexico in 1901 (he left Buffalo September 9, returned November 21, 1901). This one sentence summed up the last tour decades of Nunó's lite: "After 1870 (recte 1869J, he lived at Buffalo, teaching, singing and conducting various societies, serving as organist at dif­ ferent churches there and in Rochester, and composing about 50 church-works." Frederick H. Martens's article in the Dictionary oj American Biography (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1934), XIII, 594-595, cited 1878 through 1882 as the years during which Nunó was organist and choirmaster of St.

  • 122 a Century of Grand Opera in Philadelphia. Music Is As Old As The
    122 A Century of Grand Opera in Philadelphia. A CENTURY OF GRAND OPERA IN PHILADELPHIA. A Historical Summary read before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Monday Evening, January 12, 1920. BY JOHN CURTIS. Music is as old as the world itself; the Drama dates from before the Christian era. Combined in the form of Grand Opera as we know it today they delighted the Florentines in the sixteenth century, when Peri gave "Dafne" to the world, although the ancient Greeks listened to great choruses as incidents of their comedies and tragedies. Started by Peri, opera gradually found its way to France, Germany, and through Europe. It was the last form of entertainment to cross the At- lantic to the new world, and while some works of the great old-time composers were heard in New York, Charleston and New Orleans in the eighteenth century, Philadelphia did not experience the pleasure until 1818 was drawing to a close, and so this city rounded out its first century of Grand Opera a little more than a year ago. But it was a century full of interest and incident. In those hundred years Philadelphia heard 276 different Grand Operas. Thirty of these were first heard in America on a Philadelphia stage, and fourteen had their first presentation on any stage in this city. There were times when half a dozen travelling companies bid for our patronage each season; now we have one. One year Mr. Hinrichs gave us seven solid months of opera, with seven performances weekly; now we are permitted to attend sixteen performances a year, unless some wandering organization cares to take a chance with us.

  • Berg's Worlds
    Copyrighted Material Berg’s Worlds CHRISTOPHER HAILEY Vienna is not the product of successive ages but a layered composite of its accumulated pasts. Geography has made this place a natural crossroads, a point of cultural convergence for an array of political, economic, religious, and ethnic tributaries. By the mid-nineteenth century the city’s physical appearance and cultural characteristics, its customs and conventions, its art, architecture, and literature presented a collage of disparate historical elements. Gothic fervor and Renaissance pomp sternly held their ground against flights of rococo whimsy, and the hedonistic theatricality of the Catholic Baroque took the pious folk culture from Austria’s alpine provinces in worldly embrace. Legends of twice-repelled Ottoman invasion, dreams of Holy Roman glories, scars of ravaging pestilence and religious perse- cution, and the echoes of a glittering congress that gave birth to the post-Napoleonic age lingered on amid the smug comforts of Biedermeier domesticity. The city’s medieval walls had given way to a broad, tree-lined boulevard, the Ringstrasse, whose eclectic gallery of historical styles was not so much a product of nineteenth-century historicist fantasy as the styl- ized expression of Vienna’s multiple temporalities. To be sure, the regulation of the Danube in the 1870s had channeled and accelerated its flow and introduced an element of human agency, just as the economic boom of the Gründerzeit had introduced opportunities and perspectives that instilled in Vienna’s citizens a new sense of physical and social mobility. But on the whole, the Vienna that emerged from the nineteenth century lacked the sense of open-ended promise that charac- terized the civic identities of midwestern American cities like Chicago or St.

El caso ilustra las intrincadas redes de apoyos recíprocos y conflictos frecuentes que, en el México del siglo xix, se tejían entre los empresarios y artistas de la ópera, por un lado, y las autoridades políticas, por el otro. Se argumenta que los gober- nantes sabían que la ópera era un símbolo poderoso de civilización y progreso y, por lo tanto, la empleaban con frecuencia como fuente de legitimidad; a cambio, los empresarios recibían grandes apoyos, financieros, jurídicos y sim- bólicos de parte de las instituciones políticas, tanto locales como nacionales.

  • Richard Strauss
    RICHARD STRAUSS: The Origin, Dissemination and Reception of his Mozart Renaissance Raymond lIolden I I \,--,~/ PhD Goldsmiths' College University of London 1 Abstract Richard Strauss holds an important place in the history of performance. Of the major musical figures active during the second half of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth centuries, his endeavours as a Mozartian are of particular importance. Strauss' special interest in the works of Mozart was seminal to both his performance and compositional aesthetics. As a result of this affinity, Strauss consciously set out to initiate a Mozart renaissance that embodied a precise set of principles and reforms. It was these principles and reforms, described as literalist, rather than those of artists such .as Gustav Mahler, who edited Mozart's works both musically and dramatically, that found further expression in the readings of, amongst others, Otto Klemperer, George Szell, Sir John Pritchard and Wolfgang Sawallisch. It is the aim of this dissertation to investigate Strauss' activities as a Mozartian and to assess his influence on subsequent generations of Mozart conductors. Accordingly, the dissertation is divided into an Introduction, five chapters, a Conclusion and thirteen appendices. These consider both the nature and ramifications of Strauss' reforms and performance aesthetic. Within this framework, the breadth of his renaissance; his choice of edition, cuts and revisions; his use of tempo, as a means of structural delineation; his activities with respect to the
