MASSACHUSETTS + + PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA + + + + +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. + + HENRY C.

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.

William Billings, First New England composer, + organizer of singing societies, etc. Billings died Sept. 29, + 1800. + + + + +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.

"Euterpean Society" formed in New York City. + + 1799. "The Vintage," an American opera by Pellesier and Dunlap, + produced in New York City. + + + + +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.

St. Cecilia Society formed in Philadelphia. + + + + +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.

Sacred Harmonic Society, New York City. + + + + +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 +a conservatory. + + 1850.

The Cecilia Society of Boston organized with B. J. Lang as + conductor. + + + + +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. + + 1875. Jan. 6.

Auditorium dedicated, in Chicago, Ill. + + + + +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. + + 1890. Jan. 4.

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. + + 1900. Jan. 5.

LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4.

Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any +provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. + +1.F.6.

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. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact +information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official +page at http://pglaf.org + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +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. |
