Continental precedents would have permitted Busby's a1luding to American lndian music (Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 1768) or mentioning New World composers whose names were circulating in Europe by the 1790's (José Mazza).

In the uxiv + 331-page "fourth edition with additions and improve· ments" of his A Dictionary of Mwic (London: Printed for Richanl Phillips, 1817), Busby offered these definitions (pages 45, 52, 246-247).

  • It Was Good Enough for Grandma, but It Ain't Good Enough For
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: “IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR GRANDMA, BUT IT AIN’T GOOD ENOUGH FOR US!” WOMEN AND THE NATION IN HAROLD ARLEN AND E.Y. HARBURG’S WARTIME MUSICAL BLOOMER GIRL (1944) Sarah Jean England, Master of Arts, 2013 Directed By: Professor Patrick Warfield, School of Music The Broadway musical Bloomer Girl (1944) with score by composer Harold Arlen (1905–1986) and lyricist E.Y. Harburg (1896–1981) was the first book musical to follow in the footsteps of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! The obvious parallels between Oklahoma! and Bloomer Girl led critics and scholars to compare the musicals at the expense of overlooking the contributions the latter made to the genre. This thesis moves Bloomer Girl out from the shadow cast by Oklahoma! and situates it within a richer historical context. It begins with a brief history of Bloomer Girl. It then focuses specifically on both the dramatic and musical representation of women in the work. Using a comparative methodology, this study examines how the women in Bloomer Girl deviate from the model for the Golden Age musical to create a controversial political commentary about the United States in the World War II era. “IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR GRANDMA, BUT IT AIN’T GOOD ENOUGH FOR US!” WOMEN AND THE NATION IN HAROLD ARLEN AND E.Y.

Balfe “Menie” Robert Burns & Edward MacDowell “On the Road to Mandalay” Rudyard Kipling & Oley Speaks ¢¢l†† Glossary & Notes Adams, Stephen: The pseudonym of Michael Maybrick (1844-1913). Why the composer used an alias for his more popular works is unknown, though the cruel attribute his decision not to appear in propria persona on the sheet music of “The Holy City” to a natural shame at having perpetrated the song. Balfe, Michael W. : An Irish composer (1808-1870), best remembered for the opera The Bohemian Girl. He composed many other operas and more than 250 songs. He wrote and produced an opera titled Falstaff and sang in Rossini’s Otello at La Scala early in his career; it was natural, therefore, that he presented several of Verdi’s operas when serving as music director of Her Majesty’s theater. The aria from The Bohemian Girl “I Dreamt That I Dwelt in Marble Halls” was recorded by Enya in 1993, and while it gained some popularity among connoiseurs of New Age music, it did not achieve the the same cultural éclat that greeted Enya’s lyrical guide to world geography, “Orinoco Flow.” Bar: A sandbank or shoal at the mouth of a harbor or estuary.
