Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Music in England The purpose of this book is to sketch the main features of English music from its earliest artistic manifestations to the close of the nineteenth century. I use the term English in default of any other that is more exactly comprehensive; but the chapter on folk-music will be found to contain refer ences to the melodies of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, as well as to those of England itself. And, further, I have taken 'english music' to include 'music made in England', not solely music composed by Englishmen to adopt the latter signification alone would, I thought, in dealing with a country where foreign in uences have played a large part, have unduly limited the scope of the book, and I have in fact, for practical purposes, considered as Englishmen those composers who, though of foreign blood, have made England their home and have produced for an English public all the works bywhich their name survives. Of these the greatest is of course Handel, who, as a naturalized Englishman who spent over forty-five years of his life in this country, has justly won a place in the Dictionary of National Biography; I have disregarded the few works he wrote for Italian and German audiences, but it seemed im possible to avoid treatment of the others, especially as their in uence here has been so colossal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charles Dickens and Music For many years I have been interested in the various musical references in Dickens' works, and have had the impression that a careful examination of his writings would reveal an aspect of his character hitherto unknown, and, I may add, unsuspected. The centenary of his birth hastened a work long contemplated, and a first reading (after many years) brought to light an amount of material far in excess of what I anticipated, While a second examination convinced me that there is, perhaps, no great writer who has made a more extensive use of music to illustrate character and create incident than Charles Dickens. From an historical point of View these references are of the utmost importance, for they reﬂect to a nicety the general condition of ordinary musical life in England during the middle of the last century. We do not, of course, look to Dickens for a history of classical music during the period those who want this will find it in the newspapers and magazines; but for the story of music in the ordinary English home, for the popular songs of the.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Music in England and Music in America, Vol. 1 The history of musical development in England is to the art student, both highly interesting and instruc tive. How are we to explain why a nation that has reached such pre-eminence in dramatic and lyrical poetry, has occupied rather a subordinate place in its original musical efforts, when compared with the labors Of the Italians, the Germans, the French; and that in the form which is most closely related to the drama, - the Opera, English musicians never have gone far ther than to imitate, with more or less ability and success, the works Of Continental composers? Some Englishmen have been endowed with fine talent, even genius, for music. The English are fond of music, and spend large Sums in the interest of Operatic enter tainments given by the first living artists; and the works of the first masters Of instrumental music find a deserved recognition at the hands of English musical connoisseurs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of British Music: From the Earliest Times to the Tudor Period This is an attempt to tell the story of British music. Wide and comprehensive as the scope of English literature undoubtedly is, we have hitherto been without a book dealing specifically with the birth and growth of English music. Histories of music almost rival the planets in number, but they are for the most part singularly unlike the heavenly bodies in the light they throw upon that aspect of the divine art concerning which every Briton would naturally desire information - namely, the history of the music of his own country. I know of no work which deals at all adequately with the rise and progress of the art as found and practised in England, the nearest attempt at anything of the kind being the late Sir Frederick A. Gore Ouseley's brief, and necessary, additions to Naumann's 'History of Music.' Yet the subject of England's music deserves ample treatment. To remedy such a state of things, I several years back devoted my attention to the present work, the first instalment of which is now given to the public.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thirty Years of Musical Life in London: 1870 1900 My object is rather to furnish sketches of ia mous musical personages, and to set before the reader hitherto unrecorded scenes and events in their lives, together with slight studies of tem perament and character, which may be of value in so far as they tend to throw a side - light upon the personality of the notable individuals with whom they deal. At the same time, by placing these as nearly as possible in chronological order, and supplementing them with brief accounts of all the prominent debuts and first performances that I have personally witnessed, the outcome is a tolerably complete picture of operatic and musical life in England during the last three decades of the nineteenth century.

Should it offer nothing to the musician or historian, I hope it will be found of interest to the general reader. The desire to make each chapter as complete, on the subject with which it deals, as space would permit, has necessitated a certain amount of repetition, but I trust that the object will con done the fault.

He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Musical Reminiscences: Containing an Account of the Italian Opera in England, From 1773; Continued to the Present Time, and Including the Festival in Westminster Abbey Worse), many English amateurs retain like myself the love for the good Old style, and for the compositions of those excellent masters which modern caprice has thrown aside as Obsolete, but which must ever be considered by real judges as far superior to the fantastical and triﬂing frippery of the modern school. My remarks will no 'doubt appear very old-fashioned, and it is natural they should be so; but if it were possible to suppose they should be read fifty years hence, I think it very probable they would then be considered to be founded in truth and justice; as the present fanciful style seems to be such as must speedily pass away, and be replaced by one more true to nature, more resem bling at least, if not quite reverting to, that simpler kind, which must invariably please all who are susceptible of feeling the genuine, unsophisticated expression Of really fine music. But I am anticipating what, if it is said at all, will find a more proper place hereafter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
