  • Violin Sonata No. 2 in a Major JOSEPH BOULOGNE, CHEVALIER DE SAINT-GEORGES (1745-1799) Composed in 1781
    Page 1 (1/31/20) Violin Sonata No. 2 in A major JOSEPH BOULOGNE, CHEVALIER DE SAINT-GEORGES (1745-1799) Composed in 1781. Joseph Boulogne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, one of music history’s most fascinating figures, was born on Christmas Day 1745 on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, where his father, a French civil servant, was stationed as comptroller-general; his mother was a black islander. The family moved to Paris when the boy was ten. Joseph was enrolled in the academy of Nicolas Texier de La Boëssière, one of France’s most renowned fencing masters, and there received a good general education as well as rigorous training in swimming, boxing, horse riding and other physical and social skills; he became one of the finest fencers in Europe. Saint-Georges’ musical education was less well documented, though he apparently had shown talent as a violinist even before leaving Guadeloupe and seems to have been a student of the celebrated composer François Gossec for several years. sHe joined Gossec’s orchestra at the Concert des Amateurs in 1769, made his debut there as a soloist three years later (in two of his own violin concertos), and became concertmaster and conductor of the group shortly thereafter. In 1777, Saint-Georges entered the employ of the Duke of Orléans, and four years later took on the additional position of concertmaster of the Concert de la Loge Olympique, for which Claude-François-Marie Rigoley, Comte d’Ogny commissioned Haydn’s “Paris” symphonies. Saint-Georges acted as intermediary in finalizing the arrangements with Haydn, and he presumably directed the premieres of the works.

  • News from the Library of Congress MOUG / MLA 2001
    News From the Library of Congress MOUG / MLA 2001 All of the news from LC this year furnishes empirical proof that the old maxim, “The more things change, the more they stay the same,” is not true. We can testify that, in fact, “The more things change, the more things change.” Like a young tree, the bigger it gets, the bigger it gets. The implementation of the Integrated Library System (ILS) has forced the Library to examine how it does business from the ground up. The result will be cleaner and leaner operation with more to offer everyone. (Regarding that “more to offer everyone,” it should be mentioned that our Web OPAC registers 150,000 searches a day!) The ILS has been in operation now for about one-and-a-half years. Most catalogers and technicians have become comfortable with its operations. Acquisitions and circulation staff are also up and running. Our goal for this calendar year is to return production to pre-ILS levels–and so far it appears that we will have no problem achieving this. We are also looking forward to the Voyager 2000 implementation, due in July 2001, which will provide us with added functionality. This report will be organized along the same lines as past reports. We will take a look at the major happenings in selected LC organizations and operations with special attention to areas of interest to Music Librarians. 1. LIBRARY OF CONGRESS INTEGRATED LIBRARY SYSTEM On August 21, 2000, the Library officially accepted the LC ILS system after extensive testing and forty consecutive days of acceptable response times.

This was accomplished on a number of fronts: by processing and creating online finding aids for special collections; by creating new and improved existing bibliographic records; by digitizing items from collections and putting them online; and by publicizing the collections through the Performing Arts Encyclopedia, public programs, orientations, professional meetings, and social media. We 1 made significant progress on the Collections Analysis Project, which will result in improved physical and intellectual control over all of Music’s holdings.
