Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life Stories of Great Composers: A Collection of Biographies of the Greatest Masters of Music In a word, then, the main characteristics of modern music as opposed to medieval are rhythm, harmony, and the key system. The evolution of our modern system of harmony from the weird organum of Hucbald, and of our keys from the ecclesiastical modes, was so gradual that it is impossible to fix upon any date as the precise moment when one gave way definitely to the other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Musical Composers and Their Works: For the Use of Schools and Students in Music Have only to say. As I said in the prefaces to the com panion works, Old Masters, and Modern Painters, that this book is a simple account of the great men of whom it treats, and of their works. It is designed for the use of young people in the course of their musical education, and for older persons who have neither the time nor the opportunity to refer to original sources of information. I have neither attempted nor desired to make the book exhaus tive. I wish to apologize for the tlisproportionate length to which I have allowed the sketches of Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and Moscheles to extend. Fearing that, in the nature of the work, it was apt to lapse into a mere dry catalogue of names and dates, repellant to most readers, young or old, I was fain, when I had ample and very attractive material, to bring out the human element with all the skill in my power. With regard to the three first composers. Their high standing was enough to warrant the prominence granted to them. In the case of Moscheles, it seemed to me that it was well to give in detail the account of one great musical composer in the second rank. His intimate connection with the first musical composers throughout his long life rendered him also a link between the past and the present in the annals of music.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Composers and Their Music, Vol. 5: Extra Illustrated Edition of 1901 The first work that Auber submitted to public judgment was a comic opera in one act, entitled Le Sejour Militaire, which was produced at the Theatre Feydeau in 1813. Auber was then thirty two years old. This piece was not his first attempt in theatrical work, however; for he had previously written a comic opera for the Prince de Chimay, and before this, still another work for a small orchestra, which was represented in an amateur theatre. He had also composed a Mass, with orchestra, in which occurred the admirable chant which he used at a later date in the famous prayer in his masterpiece, La Muette de Portici. Le Sejour Militaire may be regarded merely as mark ing a date in the biography of the French composer. This piece, of somewhat doubtful buffoonery, passed unnoticed by the general public. Indeed the musi eian himself was very slightly impressed with it, being but imperfectly inspired when he wrote it. Nevertheless a writer then celebrated, M. Martin ville, discovered in this score several pretty moz'zfs and a great deal of wit. From 1813 to 1819 Auber remained silent, and it might have been thought that he had ceased to exist. What became of him during this long period? He still continued to appear in society and, when in the humor, to write as an amateur fugitive pieces of music set to subjects of the same character. He asked dramatic poets to write pieces for him, but they were not very anxious to do so after the failure of Le Sejour Militaire. About this time the composer's father died, leav ing a widow and two sons without fortune. During this period, when the eminent musician that was to be was still pursuing his studies, he found himself face to face with pecuniary difficulties; but he sup ported them bravely, never complaining.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Great Musicians That the purpose1 of the public schools is the training of children for a higher citizenship, a more extensive helpfulness in affairs pertaining to the com mon good, no one questions; but we need expect no manifestation of a greater integrity, unless lofty ideals are kept constantly before them. Neither painter nor sculptor can produce a greater expres sion of beauty than that which has been built up in his own consciousness no individual can produce a greater expression of manhood or womanhood than that which he holds in his own mind. It is impor tant, therefore, that a high standard be set for the children in our schools to-day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
