Felix Mendelssohn Overture in C Major, Op. 101, “Trumpet” Felix Mendelssohn Was Born in Hamburg in 1809 and Died in Leipzig in 1847
Felix Mendelssohn Overture in C major, Op. 101, “Trumpet” Felix Mendelssohn was born in Hamburg in 1809 and died in Leipzig in 1847. He composed this work in 1826. The circumstances of its first performance are unknown, though it may have been first heard with a performance of Handel’s Israel in Egypt led by the composer in Düsseldorf the same year. Mendelssohn revised the work in 1833. The Overture is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, and strings. Mendelssohn composed this work at the age of sixteen, just before he wrote his miraculous Overture to A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Some think it was a preliminary study for that masterpiece. If it was, it was not slavishly followed. The subtitle “Trumpet” comes from Mendelssohn’s family always referring to the piece as the “Trumpet Overture,” though hearing the relatively minor role of the trumpets in the work makes one wonder how it came about. Some point to the trumpets’ appearance to punctuate all the major divisions of the work; for others, the prominent interval of the third in the trumpet parts leads to harmonic relationships of a third in the development, but that is getting rather deep into the weeds. In any case, the sixteen year-old Mendelssohn was already a better composer than many ever become, and the Overture is typically brilliant. Mendelssohn himself didn’t think much of it, but it was his father’s favorite work! Concerto for Violin & Orchestra in E minor, Op. 64 Mendelssohn completed his Violin Concerto in 1844, and it was first performed the following year by Ferdinand David, violin, with the Gewandhous Orchestra, Leipzig conducted by Niels Gade.

Fanny Mendelssohn
The Akron Symphony Meet the Composer - Fanny Mendelssohn Born: November 14, 1805 Died: May 14, 1847 Fanny Mendelssohn was a German pianist and composer and the older sister of the well-known composer, Felix Mendelssohn. The two siblings were very close. She received a quality musical education, first taking piano les- sons from her mother and later studying piano and composition with other teachers. Due to social conventions of the time re- garding the roles of women, some of her compositions were published under her brother’s name. Fanny’s works were often played alongside those of her brother on the family’s Sunday concert series. In 1829, Fanny married Wilhelm Hensel. Her husband was sup- portive and encouraging of her musical work. Before her death Fanny Mendelssohn she composed more than 460 pieces of music, mostly songs and piano pieces. In 1846, a collection of her songs was published. Since the 1980s her works have become better known through performances and recordings. In May 2018, the Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn Museum was opened in Hamburg, Germany. The Piano The piano was invented by Bartolomeo Cristofori in Italy around 1700. There were several innovations to the instrument during the 1800s. These include a cast iron frame and the use of aliquot strings (unstruck strings that reinforce the tone). These innovations gave the instrument a more powerful sound. During this time the family piano played a similar role to that of the radio in the 19th century. The family would frequently gather around the instrument for an enjoyable musical evening.

Purcell, Handel, Haydn, and Mendelssohn Anniversary Reflections
Purcell, Handel, Haydn, and Mendelssohn Anniversary Reflections March 2009 Martin Adams Trinity College, Dublin "That what took least, was really best": tensions between the private and public aspects of Purcell's compositional thought. Roger North remembered that Purcell "used to mark what did not take for the best musick, it being his constant observation that what took least, was really best." Purcell's penchant for complexity has been discussed widely; and Alan Howard has recently said that aspects of the composer's practice set him "somewhat apart from contemporary composers and, even more importantly, from the expectations of his audiences." They also set him somewhat apart from the other composers in this conference. My paper will argue that this apartness is rooted in a tension between expectations - those towards himself and towards his paying audience. It is a tension between the private and the public, the private epitomised in music of a "highbrow" kind (whatever its intended audience), and the public epitomised in his theatre music. Via a comparison of works private (especially songs from Harmonia Sacra) and public (mainly theatre songs), the paper will define the thinking and practice that differentiates the two spheres. It will also suggest that the private sphere was so deeply embedded that Purcell's reputation inevitably rests on a small number of works. In that respect too, he makes a revealing comparison with the other composers in this conference. Maria Teresa Arfini Milan and Aosta University Music as Autobiography: Mendelssohn between Beethoven and Schumann There are some compositions where Mendelssohn shows actually autobiographical traits.

Hans UIZ A Genevan's Journey to the Hebrides in 1807: An Anti-Johnsonian Venture The book Voyage en Ecosse et aux Iles Hebrides by Louis-Albert Necker de Saussure of Geneva is the basis for my report.! While he was studying in Edinburgh he began his private "discovery of Scotland" by recalling the links existing between the foreign country and his own: on one side, the Calvinist church and mentality had been imported from Geneva, while on the other, the topographic alternation between high mountains and low hills invited comparison with Switzerland. Necker's interest in geology first incited his second step in discovery, the exploration of the Highlands and Islands. Presently his ethnological curiosity was aroused to investigate a people who had been isolated for many centuries and who, after the abortive Jacobite Re bellion of 1745-1746, were confronted with the advanced civilization of Lowland Scotland, and of dominant England.

Gage, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ Randall Goldberg, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ James C. Umble, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ Peter J. Kasvinsky, Dean of School of Graduate Studies Date Abstract From the time Adolphe Sax took out his first patent in 1846, the saxophone has found its way into nearly every style of music with one notable exception: the orchestra. Composers of serious orchestral music have not only disregarded the saxophone but have actually developed an aversion to the instrument, despite the fact that it was created at a time when the orchestra was expanding at its most rapid pace. This thesis is intended to identify historical reasons why the saxophone never became a permanent member of the orchestra or acquired a reputation as a serious classical instrument in the twentieth century. iii Dedicated to Isabella, Olivia & Sophia And to my father Michael C.

During the course of writing this dissertation, I was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer which had spread to my spine. I spent weeks in the hospital and months afterward mostly bedridden. So, I owe a debt of gratitude to oncologists Juliet Penn and James Waisman for finding a chemotherapy that fights my tumors while keeping the side effects manageable enough for me to work. A warm thank you to the folks at the Solvang Cancer Center who take care of me during chemo sessions, and thank you also to the people at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital, Lompoc Valley Medical Center, City of Hope, and Sansum Clinic Lompoc. Without them, I would not be around to thank anyone else. Thank you to my family who helped out during this difficult time, particularly my parents, Carl and Patricia Shaver; my sister-in-law, Andrea Langham; and my niece, Daisy Langham. Thank you also to Ellen and Rich Krasin, Ruth and Steve Marotti, Shirley Shaver, Mary Lou Trocke, Jim and Cindy Gleason, and Ralph Lincoln.
