+
+PREFACE
+
+
+The object of this book is to give as complete a record as possible of
+the beginning and progress of music in the United States of America.
+
+The first things recorded are regarded as important. Hence such items as
+the printing of the first book on music, the importation of the first
+pipe organs, the establishment of the early musical societies are
+recorded, while similar events of a more recent date are of no special
+importance.
+
+The first performance of significant works--operas, oratorios,
+symphonies and other choral and orchestral works--are chronicled as
+carefully as possible; also the first appearance in America of noted
+musicians.
+
+It has been practically impossible to find accurate data about the works
+of the older composers,--Haydn, Mozart and others, for while there are
+many programs in which their names are mentioned the work played is
+seldom specified (see Mr. O. G. Sonneck's "Early Concert-Life in
+America"), and one must wait until the period arrives in which the work
+performed is specified. Probably some of the works mentioned had earlier
+performances by small organizations but the performances recorded here
+are in all probability the first adequate ones.
+
+Among the items recorded are some which cannot be regarded as marking
+the musical progress of the country, and yet are items of musical
+interest;--the first performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" and of
+"America" do not mark any progress and yet are historic events.
+
+The establishment of Gilmore's Band and Sousa's Band are items of
+interest rather than of educational progress.
+
+In compiling this work such newspapers as are available have been
+consulted, also the programs of the leading choral and orchestral
+societies. Valuable help has been gained from the excellent works of Mr.
+Oscar G. Sonneck, Mr. E. H. Krehbiel, Mr. Philip Goepp, Mr. George P.
+Upton, Allston Brown and other writers on the American stage, and above
+all from the admirable notes of Mr. Philip Hale in the programs of the
+Boston Symphony Orchestra. It would be ungracious to close this preface
+without acknowledging with gratitude the valuable assistance of Miss
+Barbara Duncan of the Boston Public Library.

+
+
+
+CHAPTER I
+
+1640-1750
+
+
+The Annals of Music in America during the first hundred years contain
+very little that would seem to be of any importance to the musicians of
+today. Nevertheless it is as interesting to note the beginnings of music
+in this newly settled country as to watch the appearance of the baby's
+first tooth.
+
+The first settlement at Plymouth took place in 1620, and we find that in
+1640 the colonists were already busy with the printing press in
+Cambridge, Mass., and the second book which came from the press was a
+reprint of an English Psalm book, printed under the title of the Bay
+Psalm Book. This was not an original work, but its production shows that
+music was already a living problem, and was even then part of the life
+of the colonists.
+
+Practically nothing more of note happened until the importation of the
+first pipe organ, in 1700. This was quickly followed by other similar
+instruments in different parts of the country, and even by the building
+of organs by Americans, the first being by John Clemm in New York, which
+contained three manuals and twenty-six stops, and the next by Edward
+Bromfield in Boston. Bromfield's organ had two manuals and 1200 pipes,
+but was not completed when he died in 1746.
+
+The early history of music in New England, as handed down to us by
+writers on the subject, seems to have consisted chiefly of church
+singing, concerning which there were many controversies. The early
+composers of New England were mainly occupied in composing psalm tunes,
+and in teaching singing schools.
+
+The accounts of secular music come chiefly from Charleston, S. C., at
+which place many musicians entered this continent after visiting the
+West Indies. In fact, the first song recital on record in America took
+place at Charleston in 1733, while Boston had a concert in 1731 and
+Charleston had one in 1732. Charleston also claims the first performance
+of ballad opera on record in America (1735).
+
+It must not, however, be supposed that New England had no secular music.
+The concert above mentioned goes to show the contrary. Also there is a
+record of small wind instruments, such as oboes and flageolets, being
+brought to Boston for the purposes of trade--possibly with the idea that
+New England shepherds might play to their sheep, as shepherds in other
+countries are supposed to do.
+
+We know that every farm had its spinning wheel and that clothes were
+made of the homespun woollens, but neither historian nor poet has ever
+pictured a New England shepherd with the shepherd's pipe. Imagination
+has not so far run riot.
+
+Music was in a very elementary stage during the first hundred years. The
+country was sparsely populated, and music depends on the existence of a
+community. Even in 1750 the cows, according to tradition, were still
+occupied, during their daily peregrinations, in laying out the streets
+of the future city of Boston,--a city which was destined to be one of
+the leaders in matters musical.
+
+  NOTE. _When a work is mentioned as "given" or "played" or
+    "presented," it means the first performance in America.
+    When "produced" or "production" or "premiere" is used the
+    first public performance anywhere is indicated._
+
+  1640. The "Bay Psalm Book" published, first American book of
+    sacred music. The second book printed in America.
+
+  1700. The first pipe organ to reach America from Europe was placed
+    in the Episcopal Church at Port Royal, Va. About 1860 it was
+    removed to Hancock, and later to Shepherdstown, W. Va.
+
+  1712. First practical instruction book on singing in New England,
+    published by John Tufts of Newbury, Mass.

+    horns) were played for the first time in the Moravian Church,
+    Bethlehem, Pa.

+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER II
+
+1750-1800
+
+
+The first item of especial interest in this period is the performance of
+the "Beggar's Opera" at the "Theatre in Nassau Street," New York. This
+theatre was a rather tumbledown affair and was not built for the
+purpose. It had a platform and rough benches. The chandelier was a
+barrel hoop through which several nails were driven, and on these nails
+were impaled candles, which provided all the light, and from which the
+tallow was likely to drip on the heads of such of the audience as had
+the best seats.
+
+But three years later (in 1753) Lewis Hallam, who had been giving
+performances with his company in the more southern States, got
+permission to build a theatre on the site of this old place, and the
+house was opened in September with a play, "The Conscious Lovers,"
+followed by a ballad farce, "Damon and Phillida."
+
+In 1759 we find the first avowedly musical organization in America, "The
+Orpheus Club," was in existence in Philadelphia, and concerts were
+becoming more frequent. We also find a St. Cecilia Society founded in
+Charleston, S. C., an organization which lasted for a hundred and fifty
+years.
+
+Other societies followed at short intervals and in widely scattered
+localities; the "Handel Society" of Dartmouth College, about 1780, the
+"Stoughton (Mass.) Musical Society," 1786, and "The Musical Society" of
+New York City, all tend to show that social centres were developing, and
+the people were finding expression in music.
+
+An indication of what had been growing by degrees is found in the
+reports of concerts. Mention of instruments such as violins, French
+horns, oboes, trombones, etc., was made here and there, and especially
+in connection with the Moravian settlements in Bethlehem, Pa., where was
+established the first music school.
+
+We find the first mention of an orchestra made in connection with a
+performance of "The Beggar's Opera" at Upper Marlboro, Md., in 1752, and
+a few years later (1788) a great concert was given in Philadelphia with
+an orchestra of fifty and a chorus of two hundred performers.
+
+There is also a record of a concert given in Charleston, S. C., in 1796,
+when an orchestra of thirty instruments was employed in a performance of
+Gluck's overture to "Iphegenie en Aulide," and Haydn's "Stabat Mater."
+
+It is quite possible that orchestras were used more or less in other
+concerts. Mr. Sonneck shows, in his "Early Concert-Life in America,"
+many programs in which orchestral works are mentioned. And it is well to
+state here that it is almost impossible to locate the first performance
+in America of many of the works of the older composers, including Haydn
+and Mozart, because no opus number is mentioned, nor anything to
+indicate the identity of the work. Pleyel, Gluck and Clementi were much
+in vogue.
+
+The American composer was beginning to be heard from during this period.
+Francis Hopkinson, who is generally regarded as the first American
+composer, wrote, in 1759, a song with the title "My Days Have Been So
+Wondrous Free." Some time later, in 1788, a small volume of songs was
+published under the title "Seven Songs," by the same composer.
+
+Francis Hopkinson was a well-educated man, a signer of the Declaration
+of Independence, a member of the Convention of 1787 which formulated the
+Constitution of the United States, first Judge of the Admiralty Court in
+Pennsylvania, and author of many pamphlets and poems.
+
+A man of entirely different calibre was William Billings, who was
+considered the first composer in New England. His compositions were
+chiefly "fuguing tunes," and he published several psalm books.
+
+Billings was a tanner by trade, but a great musical enthusiast and
+organizer. The Stoughton (Mass.) Musical Society, which is the oldest
+musical society still in existence, was organized by Billings. Lack of
+education was no bar to his activities, and he accomplished much with
+very limited means.
+
+It is said that Billings introduced the bass viol into the services of
+the Church, and thus began to break down the ancient Puritanical
+prejudices against musical instruments. He was also the first to use the
+pitch-pipe in order to ensure some degree of certainty in "striking up
+the tune" in church.
+
+Again, we find the first American ballad operas during this period.
+Benjamin Carr, an Englishman who had been in America a couple of years,
+produced in 1796 a ballad opera, "The Archers of Switzerland," and,
+shortly afterwards, in the same year, with Pellesier (a Frenchman of
+recent arrival) as librettist, another ballad opera, "Edwin and
+Angelina," was staged in New York City. Though these works could hardly
+be called distinctively American, they were the first composed and
+produced in this country.
+
+During the last decade of the 18th century some French actors and
+singers invaded the country and made New Orleans their headquarters.
+From that time on, for many years, New Orleans was prominent in the
+production of French operas and plays.
+
+Theatres were built in several of the larger cities, and noted singers
+began to appear from abroad. The first of these appears to have been
+Miss Broadhurst, who appeared in Philadelphia in 1793, at the Chestnut
+Street Theatre. She was closely followed by Mrs. Oldmixon.
+
+  1750. April 30. "The Mock Doctor," and Dec. 3, "The Beggar's
+    Opera," given at the "Theatre in Nassau St.," New York City.
+    The first performances of ballad opera on record in that city.
+
+  1750. A Collegium Musicum was established about this time at
+    Bethlehem, Pa.
+
+  1752. Sept. 14. First record of an orchestra being employed, at a
+    performance of "The Beggar's Opera" at Upper Marlborough, Md.
+
+  1753. Sept. 13. The first theatre (built for the purpose) in New
+    York City, erected in August and opened in September with "The
+    Conscious Lovers" followed by the ballad farce, "Damon and
+    Phillida," given by Lewis Hallam's company.
+
+  1754. First concert hall in Boston opened by Gilbert Deblois, at
+    the corner of Hanover and Courts Sts.
+
+  1756. Mar. 16. New organ built by Gilbert Ash, dedicated at the
+    City Hall, New York City, when an organ-concerto by G. A. Hasse
+    was played.
+
+        In the same year a new organ was placed in King's Chapel,
+      Boston, replacing the Brattle organ.
+
+  1756. The first mention of French horns in America made by
+    Benjamin Franklin, writing of the fine music in the church at
+    Bethlehem, Pa., where flutes, oboes, French horns, and trumpets
+    were accompanied by the organ.
+
+  1757. Dr. Arne's "Masque of Alfred" given in Philadelphia by the
+    students of the College of Philadelphia.

+    about this time.

+
+CHAPTER III
+
+1800-1825
+
+
+In 1800 we find the first mention of the use of the bassoon. This was in
+Bethlehem, Pa., and it seems to complete the list of instruments for the
+average orchestra. Notwithstanding the record of the importation of
+oboes, many years earlier, and the fact that Graupner, one of the
+leading musicians in Boston about this time, was, or had been an
+oboeist, some historian has stated that even well into the nineteenth
+century there was only one oboe player in the United States, and he
+lived in Baltimore. Surely this must be an error.
+
+In December 1800 we find the first annual concert of the Philharmonic
+Society in New York City. This society died in a few years, and in 1820
+another Philharmonic Society was formed. This society also dwindled,
+though it did not die, for in 1840 it was reorganized, and has ever
+since taken a leading part in the musical life of New York.
+
+Many musical societies made a beginning. Few lived long. But of those
+which lived perhaps the most noted is the Handel and Haydn Society of
+Boston, formed in 1815. This society gave what was claimed to be the
+first complete performance of Handel's "Messiah," but it is also
+claimed that this was done in 1801 in the hall of the University of
+Pennsylvania.
+
+The Handel and Haydn Society also gave what was called the first
+complete performance of Haydn's "Creation," an honor which is also
+ascribed to King's Chapel in 1816, while portions had been performed in
+1811 at Bethlehem, Pa. Thus it is difficult to fix definitely the first
+performances of many of the large works. In later days, especially in
+the case of Wagner's operas, portions were given at concerts long before
+complete stage performances were essayed.
+
+Another musical society which is in existence at the present day, and
+which undoubtedly has had much influence on the musical life of America,
+was the Pierian Sodality of Harvard University, established in 1808 by
+the undergraduates.
+
+In Philadelphia we find the establishment of the Musical Fund Society,
+which, for a number of years, did much to promote good music in that
+city. At its first concert, on April 24, 1821, Beethoven's First
+Symphony was played for the first time in America. Mr. Goepp gives us a
+full account of this and tells us that the whole symphony was too severe
+a task for an audience of that period, so the performance was broken and
+diversified by vocal and other solos between the movements.
+
+New England possessed several musical societies in 1821, by which
+performances of oratorio were given. The Sacred Music Society was
+formed in New York City in 1823 and lasted till 1849. So it may easily
+be seen that, as the population increased, musical societies were soon
+established.
+
+Theatres, while not strictly part of the musical life of the country,
+can hardly be separated from it because they were the home of ballad
+operas, and all musical stage representations. They were already in
+existence in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia before the beginning of
+the nineteenth century, but we find in 1807, the opening of "Le Theatre
+St. Philippe" in New Orleans with Mehul's one-act opera, "Une Folie."
+This theatre being burned in 1817, a new one, "Le Theatre d'Orleans,"
+was built and opened in the following year. This theatre was the finest
+in the country at that time and was the home of opera for a number of
+years. The record of opera in New Orleans is incomplete, but it is well
+known that New Orleans was the home of French opera in America long
+before it became popular in other parts of the country.
+
+But America was gradually edging up to the time of grand opera. Singers
+were arriving from abroad and brought with them their ambitions. We find
+that an English version of Rossini's opera, "Il Barbiere," was given at
+the Park Theatre, New York City, in 1819, with Miss Leesugg as Rosina,
+and in 1823 an English version of Mozart's "Le Nozze di Figaro" was
+presented. Again in the early part of 1825, Weber's opera "Der
+Freyschuetz" was presented, in English, at the Park Theatre, with Miss
+Kelly and Mrs. de Luce in the leading parts. Similar performances
+followed in other cities, and the country was thus gradually prepared
+for the real thing,--grand opera,--in its native language.
+
+While the record of items during the period 1800 to 1825 is not very
+long it still shows considerable progress. The people grew up in a
+country where there was little musical cultivation, where there were
+small communities, and where the struggle for existence had been the
+first consideration. They responded warmly to the efforts of the country
+singing teacher, the choral society promoter, and later to the producer
+of opera, and if history shows many failures, it may be pointed out that
+these failures could not have taken place if no effort had been made.
+Perhaps efforts in many cases were premature. Also there was much to
+learn in the management of masses of people. The virtues of a true
+democracy are nowhere more necessary than in a choral society.
+
+  1800. Bassoon used in Bethlehem, Pa.
+
+  1800. Dec. 23. First Annual Concert of the Philharmonic Society
+    given at Tontine Hall, Broadway, New York City.

+    called the first complete performance of Handel's "Messiah" in

+
+  1819. Feb. 16. First complete performance of Haydn's "Creation"

+

+

+
+
+
+CHAPTER IV
+
+1825-1850
+
+
+During these twenty-five years the list of items on record is far
+greater than during any preceding period of similar time. Possibly this
+may be accounted for by the greater facilities for travel both by sea
+and land. Railroads were gradually spreading out through the country,
+and helping to develop distant trading stations into towns and cities.
+Steamships were making the voyage from Europe a more feasible adventure.
+We shall see this as we proceed.
+
+In what we may call the domestic side of music we find the establishment
+of more singing societies in all the eastern cities. There was
+practically no "west" in 1825, but Chicago shows up in 1834 with "The
+Old Settlers' Harmonic Society." The story of Chicago's early musical
+days may be read in Mr. George P. Upton's book of reminiscences. The
+remarkable part of it seems to be that Chicago grew phenomenally, and
+today stands as a rival to New York in all matters musical, although in
+1825 Chicago was merely a trading post and New York was already a city
+of some size.
+
+The musical convention came into being. The first is said to have been
+held at Concord, N. H., in September 1829. There is also a claim that
+the first musical convention was held in Montpelier, Vt., in 1839 but
+this is not quite correct. It may have been the first convention in
+Vermont. Musical conventions became popular and frequent and are so even
+to the present day, though the methods and matter have changed with the
+times.
+
+Another item which may come under the head of domestic music is the
+beginning of music teaching in the public schools. This was effected by
+Lowell Mason, as an experiment, in 1838. At the present day chorus
+singing in the public schools has become an important matter, and is
+almost universal.
+
+In 1838 we find a Philharmonic Society in St. Louis, showing that St.
+Louis was not far behind Chicago in getting into the musical world.
+
+In Boston an Academy of Music was established by Lowell Mason in 1833.
+It had a large number of pupils, and there was an orchestra in
+connection with it, which gave several concerts. But the Harvard Musical
+Association, which was founded in 1837, seems to have been the chief
+propelling power to orchestral music in Boston, until the formation of
+the Boston Symphony Orchestra. In New York the Philharmonic Society was
+reorganized and was, as it has been ever since, the most prominent
+orchestral organization of that city.
+
+In 1848 two complete orchestras came to America, Gungl's, which gave a
+number of concerts, chiefly of light music, and the Germania, which
+consisted of a number of refugees from the German government. These men
+gave concerts of a finer type than had yet been given in America. Their
+career as an organization was not long, and it ended in disaster, but
+many of the members became prominent in musical matters in various
+cities, and in this way the Germania orchestra had a beneficial and
+lasting effect upon music in this country.
+
+In the forties began the stream of violin and piano virtuosi which has
+continued in ever-increasing volume to the present day. Ole Bull,
+violinist, in 1843, Vieuxtemps and Artot, violinists, and Leopold von
+Meyer, pianist, in 1844, were the first.
+
+Perhaps the development of opera may be considered of greater interest
+than other musical items. In 1825 Manuel Garcia arrived in New York, and
+gave the first performances of Italian opera. In his company were his
+daughter Maria, who married one Malibran and remained in New York for
+about two years. At the end of this time she left her husband and
+returned to Europe, where she had a short but very brilliant career.
+Young Garcia, the son, who also sang, afterwards became one of the
+greatest singing teachers in Europe, and invented the laryngoscope.
+Pauline, who became Madame Viardot, and lived to a great age, was too
+young to participate in Garcia's performances in New York. For many
+years she was one of the great singing teachers in Paris.
+
+Garcia did not stay very long in New York, but he began the efforts to
+present Italian opera, which were continued by many others from time to
+time, usually with disaster. Nevertheless, the history of the period
+from 1825 to 1850 is full of first performances of Italian opera. In
+1848 the Havana Company visited the United States, and was considered
+the finest company that had been heard until that time.
+
+In the same year Max Maretzek appeared in New York and at once entered
+the operatic field, with which he was prominently occupied during the
+next period.
+
+Before finishing the review of this period we must not forget the
+production William Henry Fry's opera, "Leonora." This was the first
+grand opera written and produced by an American. It had several
+representations, but does not seem to have lived long. The same,
+however, may be said of many of the Italian operas which were presented
+during this and later periods. A careful perusal of the list will show
+the names of operas long since defunct, so far as the American public is
+concerned. Yet there are many, which were first presented to the
+American public in this period, and which are as popular today as
+ever,--in fact no good opera company can afford to be without them.
+Opera was well started by 1850.
+
+  1825. Mar. 12. Weber's opera "Der Freyschuetz" presented in
+    English at the Park Theatre, New York City, with Miss Kelly and

+    opened in New York city with a performance of Rossini's "Il
+    Barbiere," by Manuel Garcia's company.

+      (later a renowned vocal teacher, and inventor of the laryngoscope),
+      his daughter, Maria Felicite (the great Malibran),
+      his daughter Pauline (later Madame Viardot, one of the
+      great vocal teachers of Paris) and others of less note.

+CHAPTER V
+
+1850-1875
+
+
+During this period musical events moved forward quite rapidly, and
+though there was a pause during the years of the Civil War--from 1861 to
+1865--after that time increasing energy was in evidence.
+
+Possibly one of the most significant events was the establishment of
+"Dwight's Journal of Music," in Boston, the first journal in America
+devoted entirely to musical matters. It was published every two weeks,
+and while the greater part of the space was devoted to musical affairs
+in Europe, yet there were letters and reports from various centres in
+this country, which make the Journal something of a history in itself.
+Moreover, John S. Dwight helped very materially in bringing to the
+American people something in the way of musical criticism, which was
+sadly needed. Indeed, anyone who takes the trouble to look over the
+reports of concerts and operas in the daily papers of these times will
+be surprised at the absurdity of the comments on the performances of the
+noted musicians. Ritter, for instance, quotes a criticism of a
+pianoforte recital where the critic was much pleased by a "double run on
+the chromatic scale, in which the semitones were distinctly heard."
+With singers the chief point was whether the singer of this season could
+sing louder than the singer of last season. John S. Dwight was the
+pioneer of musical criticism in America,--an intellectual man, one of
+the noted band of idealists who were in the "Brook Farm" movement.
+"Dwight's Journal of Music" went out of existence in 1881. Musical
+criticism has since become a specialized art.
+
+Musical societies were multiplying,--Cincinnati and Milwaukee had them,
+and in Chicago the "Philharmonic Society" was organized. In 1850 also
+the Worcester (Mass.) "Festivals" began, and in 1858 the Peabody
+Institute concerts, in Baltimore.
+
+In 1858 the "Mendelssohn Quintet" was formed, and for many years toured
+the country giving concerts of a high standard, and doing much to raise
+the level of musical taste. This organization had its beginning in
+Boston, but it traveled so widely that it may be said to have belonged
+to the nation.
+
+Towards the end of this period the "Apollo Club" was organized in
+Chicago, and it is today one of the most excellent clubs in America. The
+following year the "Cecilia Society," in Boston, was organized and
+likewise still exists and flourishes. But these are only a few.
+
+The American composer was beginning to show himself--perhaps not yet
+very brilliantly in comparison to the great men of Europe--but he was
+beginning to be heard from. William H. Frye, besides his two operas,
+composed several symphonies, which were played by Jullien's Band in
+1853. Also a "Grand Symphony" in 1855 and "The Pilgrims' Cantata" by C.
+C. Perkins, were performed in Boston, and we have record of an oratorio,
+"The Cities of the Plains," by Dawley, in 1855. Apart from these efforts
+the American composer seems to have been inconspicuous. In fact there
+were no facilities for the study of music or for the hearing of music
+which could be compared, as a training school for composers, with the
+musical centres of Europe, so that the efforts of these earlier
+composers may be considered, in some respects, premature, and prompted
+by energy and ambition rather than by scientific preparation.
+
+The story of grand opera of this period is one of perpetual striving for
+the unattainable. In Chicago the first performance of grand opera was
+given in 1850. Chicago is now a rival of New York in matters of opera.
+
+San Francisco heard its first opera in 1853. The gold fever of 1849 drew
+people of all kinds to California, and among them were musicians. Henri
+Herz, the French pianist, reached California in 1849 when the excitement
+was at its highest, and he gives an interesting account of his
+adventures. It may also be well to mention here Signora Biscaccianti,
+who went to San Francisco in 1852, and was there more or less till 1864.
+Signora Biscaccianti was one of the first American singers to achieve a
+measure of success in Europe. She was the daughter of a musician named
+Ostinelli, was born in Boston, where she met with some success as a
+singer, went to New York and thence to Europe. Another American who was,
+perhaps, better known in her own country was Miss Isabella Hinkley who
+appeared in 1861, but another who appeared in New York in the same year,
+became still better known and was prominent for many years, Clara Louise
+Kellogg. Eighteen hundred and fifty-nine was the year of Adelina Patti's
+debut.
+
+The list of great singers who were imported during this period is long.
+We can but touch on it,--there was Jenny Lind in 1850, then came
+Marietta Alboni in 1851. Two years later Sontag, and the next year Grisi
+and Mario. In 1865 came Parepa Rosa, and in 1870 Christine Nilsson. In
+1873, Maurel and Campanini. In 1855 Brignoli appeared, and was for many
+years a great popular favorite.
+
+We find efforts in New York to promote German opera. Operas by
+Germans--"Fidelio" for instance--had been heard together with operas by
+Italians, and others, but now Wagner came above the horizon, and German
+opera began to mean Wagner. So we find a "Tannhaeuser" and "Lohengrin" in
+New York in 1859,--quite inadequate performances according to the
+opinion handed down to posterity,--but yet, performances. They were
+followed in 1862 by "Der Fliegende Hollaender," all worthy but
+inadequate efforts. Maretzek and Strakosch were the chief figures in
+grand opera during this period, but there were spasmodic efforts by
+others which need not be recorded.
+
+Pianists were not so numerous as later. Alfred Jaell had appeared and,
+in 1854, Dr. William Mason returned from Europe and established himself
+in New York, but was not known as one of the traveling virtuosi. He had
+a great influence in musical education, for many years. Anna Mehlig
+visited America in 1869.
+
+In 1862 Louis M. Gottschalk, a native of New Orleans, returned to
+America after a brilliant career in Europe, and he appears to have been
+the first American to have made a career as a piano virtuoso.
+
+Violinists were few in comparison to singers,--Miska Hauser, Pablo
+Sarasate, in 1850, and Camilla Urso in 1852. Then a space of twenty
+years without any great virtuoso.
+
+An important matter in the musical life of America was the establishment
+of conservatories. There had already been the Academy of Music in
+Boston, which enrolled twenty-two hundred pupils the first year, but the
+conservatory idea appears to have developed just after the Civil War,
+for we find in 1865 a conservatory of music established with Oberlin
+College, in 1871 Illinois College at Jacksonville followed suit, and in
+1873 Northwestern University. In the meantime, in 1867, we find the
+Boston Conservatory, under Julius Eichberg, the New England
+Conservatory, under Eben Tourjee, the Cincinnati Conservatory, and the
+Chicago Academy of Music, which became the Chicago Musical College,--and
+in 1877, a couple of years after this period, Syracuse University added

+
+CHAPTER VI
+
+1875-1890
+
+
+The period of fifteen years from 1875 to 1890 was most certainly a
+period of progress. Not only was the country growing rapidly in
+population and wealth, but means of communication were much greater and
+more efficient than in the preceding years. The present writer well
+remembers a journey from San Francisco to St. Louis, and on to Boston in
+1878, when there was one single track railroad between Oakland and
+Omaha. Cheyenne consisted of two rows of primitive looking wooden
+houses, behind which were "anchored" many emigrants' wagons, or "prairie
+schooners" as they were called. Only a few years later (in the early
+eighties) Colonel Mapleson visited Cheyenne with his opera company,
+which included Patti and Gerster, and wrote thus of the place: "Although
+Cheyenne is but a little town, consisting of about two streets, it
+possesses a most refined society, composed, it is true, of cow-boys; yet
+one might have imagined oneself at the London Opera when the curtain
+rose,--the ladies in brilliant toilettes and covered with diamonds; the
+gentlemen all in evening dress. The entire little town is lighted by
+electricity. The club-house is one of the pleasantest I have ever
+visited, and the people are most hospitable."
+
+This account reminds the writer of a visit, not so many years ago, to
+Oklahoma City where the ladies resembled those of Cheyenne. There was,
+however, but one gentleman, within the writer's range of vision, in
+evening dress. And when Mapleson visited Cheyenne Oklahoma was an Indian
+reservation. Thus has civilization advanced.
+
+In 1875 San Francisco was already a good-sized city, but almost the
+whole country between San Francisco and Chicago and St. Louis has been
+developed since 1875.
+
+In San Francisco we find the establishment of the "Loring Club" in 1877.
+But good music was getting its roots in deeper in the East. In New York
+the "Symphony Society" was founded by Dr. Leopold Damrosch in 1878, and
+was followed in 1881 by the "Boston Symphony Orchestra," which was
+established through the liberality of Major Henry L. Higginson.
+
+"The Music Teachers' National Association" was also formed in 1876, and
+while it is not in the public eye in the way that opera and concerts
+are, yet its influence throughout the land has been very marked, and has
+led to state associations, with their annual conferences, and exchanges
+of views among teachers.
+
+In the concert world we find the names of several
+celebrities,--Rubinstein had visited America in 1872, and Hans von Buelow
+in 1875, Moritz Rosenthal in 1888, and Godowski in 1890. We find also
+among the noted pianists who were first known here in this period
+Arabella Goddard, Rafael Joseffy, Fanny Bloomfield-Zeisler and Josef
+Hofmann.
+
+Some noted violinists also visited America, August Wilhelmj in 1878,
+Ovide Musin, Teresina Tua, and in 1888 Fritz Kreisler. But perhaps the
+most noteworthy event was the appearance of Maud Powell, an American
+woman, whose career placed her in the front rank of violinists, and has
+but recently ended with her death.
+
+Of singers there were a great many, but most of them appeared in opera.
+Of the Americans who gained international reputation were Emma Abbott,
+Alwina Valleria (of Baltimore), Lillian Nordica (Norton), Emma Nevada
+(Wixom), and Charles R. Adams.
+
+Among the European celebrities who visited America were Madame
+Rudersdorff, Etelka Gerster, Scalchi, Marcella Senibrich, Amalia
+Materna, and Lilli Lehmann, also Alberto Stagno, Max Alvary, Albert
+Niemann, Francesco Tarnagno.
+
+This leads us to a short review of opera, and as New York City was the
+headquarters from which numerous companies issued to charm the rest of
+the country, a review of New York is practically a review of opera for
+the whole country.
+
+From 1850 to 1875 opera is said to have "flourished on failure" chiefly
+under Maretzek and Strakosch. Also, opera meant Italian opera, or at
+least opera in Italian. There were spasmodic efforts to promote German
+opera, chiefly by Adolf Neuendorff, who managed the German Theatre in
+New York City from 1872 to 1883. In 1876 a Wagner Festival was given in
+New York, and in 1878 there was a short and unsuccessful season given by
+the Pappenheim Opera Company, during which "Rienzi" was sung for the
+first time in America. Theodore Thomas did much to prepare the way by
+playing excerpts from the Wagner operas at his concerts, but Dr. Leopold
+Damrosch in 1884 set on foot a movement which, during the next few
+years, brought to America several of the greatest German singers, and
+gave to the public adequate representations of many of the Wagnerian
+operas. Dr. Damrosch died in 1885 and his work was taken up by Anton
+Seidl, who had been associated with Wagner in the production of the
+"Ring" at Beyreuth. Under Seidl "Die Meistersinger" had its first
+performance in America, in 1886; "Tristan und Isolde" and "Siegfried" in
+1887; "Die Goetterdaemmerung," in 1888, and "Das Rheingold" in 1889. Thus
+German opera was well launched in this period.
+
+To return to Italian opera,--Colonel Mapleson invaded the United States
+in 1878 bringing with him a good company of singers. He did not go
+farther west than St. Louis. Several tours followed in succeeding years.
+During his third tour he gave the first performance in America of
+Boito's "Mefistofele," with Campanini, Valleria, Cary and Novara. About
+this time he found a strong competitor in Henry E. Abbey, who secured
+Nilsson as a counter-attraction to Patti who was under Mapleson. This
+competition caused Mapleson to proceed farther west, so he led his
+company as far as San Francisco, where he appears to have taken the town
+by storm, and, if his account is correct, the march in "Aida" was
+performed by six hundred of the State militia and he had the assistance
+of a military band and an extra chorus of three hundred and fifty
+voices. But Mapleson's enterprises were beset with difficulties and
+finally ended in disaster, although not for some years. To many people,
+who can remember the rivalry between Abbey and Mapleson in the eighties,
+when Patti, Gerster, Sembrich, Scalchi, Nilsson, Annie Louise Cary,
+Campanini, Ravelli and del Puente were in their prime, these were the
+days of Italian opera in America. Probably much was lacking in the
+staging and scenery, but the singers have been unsurpassed.
+
+Before closing the review of this period we come to that which is of
+immense importance in the development of music in America, viz. the
+appearance of a number of composers who have taken high rank among the
+composers of the world;--John K. Paine, whose first symphony was
+produced in 1875, was followed shortly by Arthur Bird, George W.
+Chadwick, Horatio Parker, Harry Rowe Shelley, Dudley Buck and Edward A.
+MacDowell. Nothing speaks more eloquently of the progress of music in
+America than the work of these men, and of several others of smaller
+achievements.

+CHAPTER VII
+
+1890-1900
+
+
+The decade covered in this chapter was remarkable for progress in many
+directions.
+
+Large orchestras were established all over the country--Pittsburgh,
+Cincinnati, San Francisco, Los Angeles, widely scattered cities, were
+among those which made serious efforts in the orchestral line, and
+performed large orchestral works.
+
+America became in a still greater degree the hunting ground of the
+musical star who came from Europe, and swept the country of its loose
+dollars, appearing both as soloist with these orchestras, and giving
+recitals in the various cities.
+
+Among pianists we had Busoni, who was, for a time, resident in Boston,
+Vladimir de Pachmann, the great interpreter of Chopin, who was immensely
+popular for some twenty-five years, and Paderewski, whose progress
+through the country was marked by previously unheard of demonstrations.
+It is said that thousands of people traveled many miles to see the train
+pass in which he was traveling. Alfred Reisenauer came in 1895,
+Slivinski, Alberto Jonas, Raoul Pugno, Siloti and Dohnanyi, were among
+those who made their first appearances in America during this decade.
+
+There was also a large list of violin virtuosi beginning with Adolf
+Brodsky, who was followed by Henri Marteau, Cesar Thomson, Ondriczek,
+Burmester, Halir, Gregorovitch, Marsick, Maud MacCarthy, Petschnikof and
+Madame Normann Neruda, who had been prominent in England for many years,
+and was long past her prime when she visited America. But the greatest
+artist of all was Eugen Ysaye, who first appeared in 1894, and who,
+since the great war, has been conductor of the Cincinnati Orchestra.
+
+Opera continued to flourish on misfortune. Henry Abbey, who had ruined
+himself in driving out Mapleson, formed a partnership with John B.
+Schoeffel and Maurice Grau, and for some years provided opera for the
+country. Signor Luigi Arditi, who first appeared as conductor of the
+Havana Company in about 1848, and had seen more operatic service in
+America than any other conductor, made a brief but interesting estimate
+of the impresarios under whom he had traveled during those years. "I
+have come to the conclusion," he writes, "that Don Francesco Marty (of
+the Havana Company) was the most generous of men, and Max Maretzek the
+cleverest. Colonel Mapleson was decidedly the astutest of all directors,
+... while to Henry Abbey must be attributed every straightforward and
+honorable quality. Maurice Grau was the cleverest of _entrepreneurs_."
+
+Among the singers brought here by this combination was Tamagno, who
+appeared in 1890. The following season came Jean and Edouard de Reszke,
+who reigned supreme for a number of years. Also two American singers who
+had made reputations abroad,--Emma Eames and Marie van Zandt. In 1893
+Nellie Melba and Emma Calve came; and in 1894 Pol Plancon. In 1896 the
+Abbey and Grau combination collapsed. Abbey died soon after, and Grau
+continued alone until 1903.
+
+In 1895 Walter Damrosch made an effort, which extended over several
+years, to reestablish German opera, at the Metropolitan Opera House.
+This house, by the way, had been burned down in 1892, but was rebuilt
+and opened again in the following year. Several new singers were brought
+over from Germany, among them being Johanna Gadski.
+
+In 1897 and 1898 Walter Damrosch joined forces with Charles A. Ellis,
+the manager of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, who had already been
+managing a company of which Melba was the star.
+
+In 1896 Ernestine Schumann-Heink made her first American appearance in
+Chicago, and the following year joined the Metropolitan Company. Also
+Milka Ternina, an excellent artist, made her first appearance in Boston.
+
+In 1898 Maurice Grau was the leading operatic impresario once more and
+introduced several new singers, including Marie Brema, Suzanne Adams, an
+American, and Marie Engle, also in 1900 another American, Louise Homer,
+while of the men Albert Alvarez, a French tenor, and Antonio Scotti, an
+Italian baritone, were the most brilliant stars.
+
+Italian opera was now being pushed hard by German opera, while French
+opera was very little heard. The table of performances published in New
+York at the end of the season 1900-1901 shows that Wagner had
+thirty-four performances out of a total of eighty-six. Gounod was next
+with twelve performances, Verdi with eight, Puccini with eight,
+Meyerbeer with five, Mascagni with four, Reyer and Massenet three each,
+Boito, Mozart and Donizetti two each, and Beethoven, Leoncavallo and
+Bizet one each.
+
+American composers were seeking new themes indigenous to the soil. Many
+had already written something under the title of "Rip van Winkle," and
+Walter Damrosch had brought out an opera based on Hawthorne's novel "The
+Scarlet Letter." Anton Dvo[vr]ak composed his "New World Symphony"
+making use of negro melodies for his themes. The resources of the
+Indians, the prairies and the mountains have been tapped more or less
+successfully. The oil fields still offer a thrilling subject for the
+composer.

+
+CHAPTER VIII
+
+1900
+
+
+The first decade of the twentieth century was noteworthy for the
+establishment of orchestras throughout the land. During the nineteenth
+century the development of the resources of the country and the increase
+of its wealth and population was phenomenal. In 1900 the population of
+the United States was about seventy-five millions. Chicago, which was
+practically non-existent in 1800, had a population of about two millions
+and was already a rival of New York. Railroads, unknown at the beginning
+of the nineteenth century, had covered the country with a network of
+communications and caused the growth of large cities in places far
+remote from the civilization of the year 1800.
+
+We find Minneapolis establishing an orchestra in 1902, St. Paul in 1905,
+New Orleans in 1906, Seattle in 1908, while the Symphony Society of New
+York was reorganized in 1905, and a Russian Symphony orchestra
+established in New York City. The term "Symphony Orchestra" has been
+universally adopted, till we have symphony orchestras even in the moving
+picture houses. In Grove's Dictionary (edition of 1890) the only
+symphony orchestra mentioned is "the Boston Symphony Orchestra," though
+the "Symphony Society" of New York is also listed. It seems then that
+the term "symphony" applied to an orchestra is an American qualification
+signifying complete equipment, and at least good intentions.
+
+During this period the New York Philharmonic Society adopted the plan,
+for three successive years, of engaging visiting, or guest conductors,
+and in this way a number of the most prominent European conductors were
+introduced to the American public.
+
+A few American composers emerged, and of them the most frequently found
+were Frederick S. Converse and Henry K. Hadley, of whose works several
+were produced by the leading orchestras and opera companies.
+
+The list of virtuosi is also long. Among pianists Harold Bauer and Ossip
+Gabrilovitsch appeared in 1900, and later came Rudolf Ganz, Josef
+Lhevinne, Katherine Goodson, and Serge Rachmaninof. Among violinists,
+Kubelik, Kocian, Hugo Heermann, Jacques Thibaud, Efrem Zimbalist and
+Arthur Spalding, only the last being of American birth.
+
+The list of singers is long, and is chiefly associated with opera.
+Louise Homer, an American, made her debut in 1900, and Geraldine Farrar,
+another American, in 1906. Among other noted singers we find, Lucienne
+Breval, Caruso, Fremstad, Tetrazzini, Bonci, Renaud, Chaliapin, Morena,
+Destinn, Mary Garden, John McCormack, Edouard Clement, and
+Slezak,--samples of many nationalities.
+
+This brings us to the opera. Maurice Grau resigned from the directorship
+of the Metropolitan Opera House in 1903. Grau brought the star system to
+a climax, and gave opera with "all star casts," but few new operas were
+presented under his management. In 1903 Heinrich Conried succeeded to
+the management of the Metropolitan Opera House, and set himself to work
+to abolish the star system, as far as possible, and produce a good
+ensemble. The abolition of the star system proved an impossibility,
+because people had been fed upon it since the musical life of the
+country began, and New York audiences would not go to hear singers who
+had not already made European reputations. But Mr. Conried succeeded in
+producing many works new to the American public. Of these "Parsifal"
+stands forth conspicuously, though he found a competitor in Henry W.
+Savage, who produced "Parsifal" in English a few days in advance of Mr.
+Conried's production. This was followed in 1906 by Strauss's "Salome."
+Conried died in 1908 and was succeeded by the dual control of Signor
+Gatti-Casazza and Andreas Dippel, but Dippel soon resigned and went to
+Chicago, and from that date until the present (1922) Signor
+Gatti-Casazza has been sole manager of the Metropolitan Opera House.
+
+In 1906 Oscar Hammerstein opened the Manhattan Opera House in New York
+City and instituted a strong rivalry with the Metropolitan. He brought
+to America some excellent singers and presented many works new to the
+American public. While the Metropolitan company gave more German than
+French or Italian opera, the Manhattan seemed to tend towards a
+preponderance of French opera. The rivalry was beneficial to the public
+if not to the stockholders.
+
+We find during this period an opera, "The Pipe of Desire," by Frederick
+S. Converse, the first American opera to be presented at the
+Metropolitan Opera House. All the principals, with one exception, were
+also of American birth,--Louise Homer, Riccardo Martin, Clarence
+Whitehill and Herbert Witherspoon. The other principal was Lenora
+Sparks, an English singer.
+
+The most notable feature of the decade seems to have been the spread of
+musical enterprise throughout the country. Distant cities were
+organizing choral societies and orchestras to a greater extent than ever
+before. It is necessary not only to develop composers, support a few
+fine orchestras and produce a few operas, but the nation must grow
+musically as a whole. The support given to musical enterprise depends on
+the education of the rising generation, and must begin with the schools.

+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be

+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"

+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in

+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or

+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+

+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:

+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the

+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.

+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
