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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Music in England and Music in America, Vol. 1 When I determined to write the history of musical development in the United States, I found, that in order to enable my readers to understand the peculiar beginnings and first growth of that development, an insight into the history of musical culture in England was desirable. I therefore concluded to introduce the history of music in America, by that of the immediately preceding period in England. Thus my two books, "Music in England" and "Music in America," complete each other logically. My reasons for restricting my study of "Music in England," principally to the consideration of what regards the original, productive side of English music, are fully explained in the course of the work itself. The idea laid down in the first chapter, "The English Ballad and the Gregorian Chant," etc., I claim as novel. The philosophical conclusions expressed therein seem to me of much importance regarding the development of musical art in England; and, whatever the art-historical merits of these views may be, I have never yet seen the subject treated from this point of view in any other musical work.

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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book reflects a breakthrough in American music studies, an unrecognized field among traditional musicologists until the past few decades, during which enormous progress has been made in documenting three centuries of American musical activities and figures. Time and effort had to be expended exclusively on the development of basic historical studies. The time has come for a new phase, one that can take a creative, interpretive approach. Professor Crawford's study will introduce this higher level of scholarship into the field of American music studies."—Vivian Perlis, author of Charles Ives Remembered "A major statement by a senior scholar on what American musicology is all about. . . These themes are also topical; they come at a time when much more research is being done in American music, but little thought is being given to the big picture, the vision, the philosophy, and the implications of historical research. Now is the time for a synthesis, and there are few scholars better equipped to do that in American music than Richard Crawford."—Michael Broyles, author of Music of the Highest Class

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tune in America In recent years it has been growing increasingly evident that America is drawing toward the end Of her long, necessary period Of musical childhood and timid dependence on Europe, that She is even now in the somewhat awkward self-conscious stage Of adolescence, and that before long she will be musically adult. Evidence Of her slowly reached maturity is to be found all about us: quantitatively in the large new public that has been made aware Of serious music by modern inventions; qualita tively and more significantly in the growing inter est taken in the work Of our own composers, especially by our provincial orchestras it is true, but latterly also by the rather more snobbish metro politan orchestras and even by Europe itself. Solid documentation for this movement Of taste may be found in the epoch-marking address A Forward Look in American Composition delivered by Dr. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Music, Vol. 1 An attack was made thirty years ago on the assertion that Handel was not only a sacred composer, but was especially the founder of the epic element in music. It is, therefore, very satisfactory to observe the extent to which the truth of that assertion is now generally admitted 3 this can also be said of the admission of the proof that the invention of the Opera at Florence was due to a Tuscan school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of English Music It is an attempt to give a simple and rational, though in a volume of this size, necessarily incomplete, account of events that have led to the complex state of music existing in England at the present time. Should it offer nothing to the musician or historian, I hope it will be found of interest to the general reader. The desire to make each chapter as complete, on the subject with which it deals, as space would permit, has necessitated a certain amount of repetition, but I trust that the object will con done the fault.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Music System This book is designed for the use of the higher Gram mar grades, and contains the transitional steps between the fundamental work done with books Nos. 1 and 2, and the advanced work awaiting the student in the first and second years of the High School course. The proper way to breathe, and the rational develop ment of the voice organs, have received due attention in the preceding books, and should not be neglected in any part of the course; but subsequent instruction in breath manage ment will be extended to the rules governing the time and place of taking breath - rules which are indispensable alike to the speaker and the singer. A thorough mastery of the intervals of the several scales, and the development of musical and poetical sentiment by proper exercises and songs having been accomplished in the course preceding, we here begin the study of the elements of harmony, in connection with the practice of part songs, giving the pupils an intelligent idea of the construction of chords, the transposition of scales, modulation, and such other matters pertaining to the staff notation as properly come within the scope of a complete music course for Public Schools.

These facts must serve as my excuse for such cursory mention Of myself, in connection with eminent musical composers and executants, as occurs here and there in the course of these volumes, for the manifold shortcomings and demerits of which I humbly crave my readers' indulgence.
