Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Douglas MacMillan is an organologist, music historian, and recorder player. He began to play the recorder in his teenage years and subsequently founded and directed the Baroque ensemble Camerata Oriana. Encouraged by Carl Dolmetsch, he began a pioneering study of the history of the recorder in the nineteenth century which led to the diploma of FTCL and to the publication of the initial results of his work in the early 1980s. After further research into the nineteenth-century recorder he gained his PhD from the University of Surrey and has published a book on the topic. Noting a lacuna in the literature of the flageolet, Douglas proceeded to study the instrument, its music and social context in England in the nineteenth century as a student at the Royal College of Music. He graduated DMus (RCM) following submission of his thesis 'The Flageolet 1800 - 1900: the Instrument, its Music and Social Context'. An earlier study of the English concerti for small flutes (recorders) became the foundation for a doctoral project based at St. Cross College, Oxford. Douglas' thesis 'Octave Flutes in England 1660 - 1800' encompassed a comprehensive review of the organology of small recorders, flageolets, fifes, and piccolos: he received his DPhil (Oxon) in 2018. Now an independent scholar, Douglas continues his research into - and writing about - the flageolet and the recorder, with a particular interest in relating the development of musical instruments, their pedagogy and repertoire to their contemporary social environment. He continues to perform on the recorder and undertakes voluntary work in musical instrument collections. Douglas has contributed over thirty articles and reviews to musical journals and has given conference presentations both in Britain and overseas. He is a member of the Galpin Society, the American Musical Instrument Society, the Dolmetsch Foundation, and the Royal Musical Association.

Download or read book Octave Flutes In England During The Long Eighteenth Century written by Douglas Macmillan and published by . This book was released on 2023-07-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Octave flutes' are deemed to be those whose lowest note lies about an octave above middle C and for the purposes of this book, the 'long eighteenth century' runs from the Restoration of the English Monarchy in 1660 to the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. This date range allows a study not only of octave recorders but also of the flageolet and the emergence of the piccolo as the eighteenth century gave way to the nineteenth: at this time, too, the flageolet enjoyed something of a renaissance. For good measure, the fife - an instrument with a longer continuous history than the recorder, flageolet, or piccolo - is included. Chapters will outline the history, organology, and repertoire of the flageolet, the small recorders, the piccolo, and the fife, and will place the instruments in both musical and social contexts in England in the long eighteenth century. As befits the most popular - and musically most significant - octave flute in England between 1660 and 1815, pride of place will be given to the English 'little flutes', known to us today as soprano and sopranino recorders. Douglas MacMillan is an organologist, music historian, and recorder player living in Guildford, England. He is an independent scholar, holding doctoral degrees from the University of Oxford, the Royal College of Music, and the University of Surrey. Douglas has contributed extensively to the literature on the recorder in the nineteenth century, the English flageolet, on octave recorders, and the English small flute concertos.

Download or read book Music in Eighteenth Century Britain written by David Wyn Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays by some of the leading scholars in the field looks at various aspects of musical life in eighteenth-century Britain. The significant roles played by institutions such as the Freemasons and foreign embassy chapels in promoting music making and introducing foreign styles to English music are examined, as well as the influence exerted by individuals, both foreign and British. The book covers the spectrum of British music, both sacred and secular, and both cosmopolitan and provincial. In doing so it helps to redress the picture of eighteenth-century British music which has previously portrayed Handel and London as its primary constituents.

Download or read book Music Making in North East England during the Eighteenth Century written by and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The north-east of England in the eighteenth century was a region where many different kinds of musical activity thrived and where a wide range of documentation survives. Such activities included concert-giving, teaching, tuning and composition, as well as music in the theatre and in church. Dr Roz Southey examines the impulses behind such activities and the meanings that local people found inherent in them. It is evident that music could be perceived or utilized for extremely diverse purposes; as entertainment, as a learned art, as an aid to piety, as a profession, a social facilitator and a support to patriotism and nationalism. Musical societies were established throughout the century, and Southey illustrates the social make-up of the members, as well as the role of Gentlemen Amateurs in the organizing of concerts, and the connections with London and other centres. The book draws upon a rich selection of source material, including local newspapers, council and ecclesiastical records, private papers and diaries and accounts of local tradesman, as well as surviving examples of music composed in the area by Charles Avison, Thomas Ebdon and John Garth of Durham, amongst many others. Charles Avison's importance is focused upon particularly, and his Essay on Musical Expression is considered alongside other contemporary writings of lesser fame. Southey provides a fascinating insight into the type and social class of audiences and their influence on the repertoire performed. The book moves from a consideration of music being used as a 'fashion item', evidenced by the patronage of 'big name' soloists from London and abroad, to fiddlers, ballad singers, music at weddings, funerals, public celebrations, and music for marking the events of the American War of Independence and the French Revolutionary Wars. It can be seen, therefore, that the north east was an area of important musical activity, and that the music was always interwoven into the political, economic, religious and commercial fabric of eighteenth-century life.

Download or read book Felice Giardini and Professional Music Culture in Mid Eighteenth Century London written by Cheryll Duncan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-10-10 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Felice Giardini and Professional Music Culture in Mid-Eighteenth-Century London explores Giardini’s influence on British musical life through his multifaceted career as performer, teacher, composer, concert promoter and opera impresario. The crux of the study is a detailed account of Giardini’s partnership with the music seller/publisher John Cox during the 1750s, presented using new biographical information which contextualizes their business dealings and subsequent disaccord. The resulting litigation, the details of which have only recently come to light, is explored here via a complex set of archival materials. The findings offer new information about the economics of professional music culture at the time, including detailed figures for performers’ fees, the printing and binding of music scores, the charges arising from the administration of concerts and operas, the sale, hire and repair of various instruments and the cost of what today we would call intellectual property rights. This is a fascinating study for musicologists and followers of Giardini, as well as for readers with an interest in classical music, social history and legal history.
