  • Recitative in the Savoy Operas
    Recitative in the Savoy Operas James Brooks Kuykendall In the early 1870s, London music publisher Boosey & Co. launched a new venture to widen its potential market. Boosey’s repertoire had been domestic music for amateur vocalists and pianists: drawing-room ballads and both piano/vocal and solo piano scores across the range of standard Downloaded from operatic repertory of the day, published always with a singing translation in English and often substituting Italian texts for works originally in French or German. Rossini, Donizetti, Bellini, and Verdi, Auber, Meyerbeer, Gounod, and Lecocq, Mozart, Beethoven, Weber, and Wagner all appeared in Boosey’s Royal Edition of Operas series, together http://mq.oxfordjournals.org/ with a handful of “English” operas by Michael William Balfe and Julius Benedict. The new effort supplemented this domestic repertory with one aimed at amateur theatricals: “Boosey & Co.’s Comic Operas and Musical Farces.” The cartouche for this series is reproduced in figure 1, shown here on the title page of Arthur Sullivan’s 1867 collaboration with Francis C. Burnand, The Contrabandista. Seven works are listed as part of the new imprint, although three by guest on May 11, 2013 of these (Gounod, Lecocq, and Offenbach’s Grand Duchess) had been issued as part of the Royal Edition. Albert Lortzing’s 1837 Zar und Zimmermann masquerades as Peter the Shipwright, and it appeared with an English text only. The new series may well have been the idea of Sullivan himself. He had been retained by Boosey since the late 1860s as one of the general editors for the Royal Edition.

  • Race, Party, and African American Politics, in Boston, Massachusetts, 1864-1903
    Not as Supplicants, but as Citizens: Race, Party, and African American Politics, in Boston, Massachusetts, 1864-1903 by Millington William Bergeson-Lockwood A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Martha S. Jones, Chair Professor Kevin K. Gaines Professor William J. Novak Professor Emeritus J. Mills Thornton III Associate Professor Matthew J. Countryman Copyright Millington William Bergeson-Lockwood 2011 Acknowledgements Writing a dissertation is sometimes a frustratingly solitary experience, and this dissertation would never have been completed without the assistance and support of many mentors, colleagues, and friends. Central to this project has been the support, encouragement, and critical review by my dissertation committee. This project is all the more rich because of their encouragement and feedback; any errors are entirely my own. J. Mills Thornton was one of the first professors I worked with when I began graduate school and he continues to make important contributions to my intellectual growth. His expertise in political history and his critical eye for detail have challenged me to be a better writer and historian. Kevin Gaines‘s support and encouragement during this project, coupled with his insights about African American politics, have been of great benefit. His push for me to think critically about the goals and outcomes of black political activism continues to shape my thinking. Matthew Countryman‘s work on African American politics in northern cities was an inspiration for this project and provided me with a significant lens through which to reexamine nineteenth-century black life and politics.

  • GILBERT and SULLIVAN: Part 1
    GILBERT AND SULLIVAN: Part 1 GILBERT AND SULLIVAN Part 1: The Correspondence, Diaries, Literary Manuscripts and Prompt Copies of W. S. Gilbert (1836-1911) from the British Library, London Contents listing PUBLISHER'S NOTE CONTENTS OF REELS CHRONOLOGY 1836-1911 DETAILED LISTING GILBERT AND SULLIVAN: Part 1 Publisher's Note "The world will be a long while forgetting Gilbert and Sullivan. Every Spring their great works will be revived. … They made enormous contributions to the pleasure of the race. They left the world merrier than they found it. They were men whose lives were rich with honest striving and high achievement and useful service." H L Mencken Baltimore Evening Sun, 30 May 1911 If you want to understand Victorian culture and society, then the Gilbert and Sullivan operas are an obvious starting point. They simultaneously epitomised and lampooned the spirit of the age. Their productions were massively successful in their own day, filling theatres all over Britain. They were also a major Victorian cultural export. A new show in New York raised a frenzy at the box office and Harper's New Monthly Magazine (Feb 1886) stated that the "two men have the power of attracting thousands and thousands of people daily for months to be entertained”. H L Mencken's comments of 1911 have proved true. Gilbert & Sullivan societies thrive all over the world and new productions continue to spring up in the West End and on Broadway, in Buxton and Harrogate, in Cape Town and Sydney, in Tokyo and Hong Kong, in Ottawa and Philadelphia. Some of the topical references may now be lost, but the basis of the stories in universal myths and the attack of broad targets such as class, bureaucracy, the legal system, horror and the abuse of power are as relevant today as they ever were.
