Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Conductors and Conducting: Also the Organising and Conducting of Amateur Orchestras Not only are there large choirs in every city (and several in many of them), but the scattered choirs of the Nonconformist churches all over the country have formed themselves into local unions, under the guidance of the Nonconformist Choir Union, hav ing its headquarters in London, and giving an annual concert on a festival scale at the Crystal Palace. These choirs in their respective localities do a great deal of social as well as religious work, of great value. The choirs of the Church of England have grouped themselves, in their respective diocesan jurisdictions, into festival choirs, to hold annual services in the cathedrals, and to help one another in their church work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Community Orchestra, Its Formation and Maintenance A most valuable and effectual means of aiding in the maintenance of the community orchestra would be by the co operation of the non-playing music lovers of the town, formed into a committee for the management of affairs outside of the strictly musical arrangements for the orchestra. Which should of course be entirely under the control of the conductor. It would be the duty of this committee to attend to the col lection of funds for the necessary expenses - which, by the way, should not be very great - such as for music, music stands and for the purchase of instruments for those who could not afford them, or any which would be of use only to the orches tra, such as tympani, drums, double basses, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essentials in Conducting In order to have his directing at the public perform ance function properly, it thus becomes the conductor's task to plan and to administer the rehearsals in such a way that the performers may become thoroughly familiar with the music, both in technique and in Spirit. In other words, the conductor must play the part of musical manager as well as that of artistic inspirer, and if he does not perform his task in such fashion as to be looked up to by the members of his chorus or orchestra as the real leader, and if he himself does not feel confident of being able to do his work better than any one else upon the ground, he cannot possibly be successful in any very high degree. A conductor must first of all be a strong leader, and failing in this, no amount of musical ability or anything else will enable him to conduct well. We shall have more to say upon this point in a later chapter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Community Orchestra, Its Formation and Maintenance The popularity of the community orchestra has reached a stage where it would seem that every small city and town laying claim to any musical talent whatsoever aspires to have one of these organizations of its own. The writer, for many years actively interested in amateur musical affairs, conducting and playing in various organizations, having been- the recipient of numerous inquiries from parties about to organize community orchestras aims in this article to anticipate similar questions. It is also written in response to and prompted by the remark made to us frequently by out-of-town parties: "We wish that we could have a community orchestra in our town but we have no one to organize or conduct it" Although many of these places have their town band still they realize that an orchestra is an entirely different proposition requiring a treatment of another kind owing to the diverse elements that enter into its composition. For years we have endeavored to find a book that we could suggest which would answer inquiries on the subject of the organization and conducting of the amateur orchestra, but strange as it may seem, we have so far been unable to find such a one dealing with the subject in a manner that would be of any real service to the conductor of the community orchestra. True there are many most excellent books treating on special subjects in the line of orchestral work which, while they are of value to the advanced music student or for reference to the musician, would be of but limited use to the amateur in his step by step advancement in the formation of his orchestra. Therefore it is our aim to give in this article the essential information which the amateur conductor of the community orchestra needs to attain musical excellence which should be his ideal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Conducting: Ueber Das Dirigiren a Treatise on Style in the Execution of Classical Music Wagner have been appended. The footnotes, throughout, are the translator's. The following pages are intended to form a record of my experience in a department of music which has hitherto been left to professional routine and amateur criticism. I shall appeal to professional executants, both instrumentalists and vocalists, rather than to conductors; since the executants only can tell whether, or not, they have been led by a competent conductor. I do not mean to set up a system, but simply to state certain facts, and record a number of practical Observations.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Orchestra and How to Listen to It As a conclusion to these prefatory remarks it Should be acknowledged that this little book cannot possibly fulfil its intended purpose unless the splendidly courageous efforts of a number of conductors and orchestras in London and the Provinces, whose financial remuneration is entirely incommensurate with the labour they expend, are enabled to continue. In the following chapters the problem of the orchestra and how to listen to it is fully discussed in all particulars save one. To publish a dissertation on How to be Happy tho' Married for circulation in an Eveless Eden would be the limit of futility. The present author will not, it is hoped. Be accused of a lurking ambition to become a best-seller if he expresses a pious h0pe that the day may not be distant on which a locality that does not possess and support its own orchestra will be deemed unworthy to control its own destinies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essentials in Conducting In putting out this little book, the author is well aware of the fact that many musicians feel that conductors, like poets and teachers, are "born and not made"; but his experience in training supervisors of music has led him to feel that, although only the elementary phases of conducting can be taught, such instruction is nevertheless quite worth while, and is often surprisingly effective in its results. He has also come to believe that even the musical genius may profit by the experience of others and may thus be enabled to do effective work as a conductor more quickly than if he relied wholly upon his native ability. The book is of course planned especially with the amateur in view, and the author, in writing it, has had in mind his own fruitless search for information upon the subject of conducting when he was just beginning his career as a teacher; and he has tried to say to the amateur of today those things that he himself so sorely needed to know at that time, and had to find out by blundering experience. It should perhaps be stated that although the writer has himself had considerable experience in conducting, the material here presented is rather the result of observing and analyzing the work of others than an account of his own methods.
