The first things recorded are regarded as im- portant. 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 -arc 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. Sonncck'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. vi PREFACE 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 5 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. Valu- able help has been gained from the excellent works of Mr. Oscar G. Sonneck, Mr. E. PL Krchbiel, 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 pref- ace without acknowledging with gratitude the valu- able assistance of Miss Barbara Duncan of the Boston Public Library.

Imagination has not so far run riot. Music was in a very elementary stage during the first hundred years. The country was sparsely pop- ulated, 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 fu- ture city of Boston, a city which was destined to be one of the leaders in matters musical. NOTE. When a work is mentioned as u given " or cc flayed " or " presented" it means the first performance in America, When by Gottlieb Graupner. 1798. Jan. 29. Park Theatre opened in New York City with a performance of a musical piece entitled "The Pums,- or American Tar." This theatre was, for twenty years, im- portant in local musical history. 1798. April 25. First public performance of " Hail Columbia ** by Gilbert Fox in Philadelphia. The words were written by Joseph Hopkinson Smith (1770-1842) and sung to the tune of "The President's March." First sung under the ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA 13 title of cc Federal Song " but changed a few days later to "Hail Columbia." 1799. A "Musical Society" existed in Baltimore. 1799. " Euterpean Society " formed in New York City. 1799. "The Vintage," an American opera by Pellisier 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 con- cert 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 lead- ing 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 14 ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA 15 of Handel's " Messiah, 5 ' 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, estab- lished 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 1 6 ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA 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 in- creased, 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 be- fore the beginning of the nineteenth century, but we find in 1 807, the opening of " Le Theatre St. Philippe" in New Orleans with MehuPs 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, u 11 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 Nozzc di Figaro " ( was presented. Again in the early part of 1825, Weber's opera " Der Freyschutz ?? was pro- ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA 17 seated, 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 coun- try was thus gradually prepared for the real thing, grand opera, in its native language. While the record of items during the period 1 800 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 exist- ence had been the first consideration. They re- sponded 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 prema- ture. Also there was much to learn in the manage- ment of masses of people. The virtues of a true democracy are nowhere more necessary than in a choral society. 1800, Bassoon used in Bethlehem, Pa. 1800. Dec, 23.

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 ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA 21 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 conven- tions 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 for- mation of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. In New York the Philharmonic Society was reorgan- ized and was, as it has been ever since, the most prominent orchestral organization of that city. In 1 848 two complete orchestras came to America, GungPs, which gave a number of concerts, chiefly 22 ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA of light music, and the Germania, which consisted of a number of refugees from the German govern- ment. 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 prom- inent 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 Leo- pold von Meyer, pianist, in 1844, were the first Perhaps the development of opera "may be con- sidered 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 o the great singing teachers in Paris. ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA 23 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 per- formances of Italian opera. In 1848 the Havana Company visited the United States, and was con- sidered 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* 24 ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA 1825. Mar. 12.

CHAPTER V 1850- 1875 DURING this period musical events moved for- ward 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 " D wight'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 perform- ances 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 36 ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA 37 chroimatic scale, in which the semitones were dis- tinctly 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 exist- ence in 1 88 1. 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 com- parison to the great men of Europe but he was 3 8 ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA 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 ia 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 ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA 39 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 in- stance 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 " Tannhauser " and " Lohengrin " in New York in 1859, Q^t inadequate perform- ances according to the opinion handed down to pos- terity, but yet, performances. They were fol- 40 ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA lowed in 1862 by "Der Fliegende Hollander/ 5 all worthy but inadequate efforts. Maretzek and Stra- kosch 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 apppeared and, in 1854, Dr. William Mason returned from Europe and established him- self 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 1 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 with- out 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 Jack- sonville followed suit, and in 1873 Northwestern ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA 41 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 Acad- emy of Music, which became the Chicago Musical College, and in 1 877, 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. 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 - y yet one might have imagined oneself at the London Opera when the curtain rose, the ladies in brilliant toilettes and covered with dia- monds; the gentlemen all in evening dress- The entire little town is lighted by electricity. The club- 6 4 ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA 65 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 reserva- tion. 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 de- veloped 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 a Symphony Society " was founded by Dr. Leo- pold 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 3 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 Billow in 1875, Moritz Rosen- 66 ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA thai m 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 note- worthy 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 Sembrich, Amalia Materna, and Lilli Lehmann, also Alberto Stagno, Max Alvary, Albert Niemann, Francesco Tamagno. 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 re- view of opera for the whole country. From 1850 to 1875 opera is said to have "flour- ished on failure " chiefly under Marctzek and Stra- kosch. Also, opera meant Italian opera, or at least ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA 67 opera in Italian. There were spasmodic efforts to promote German opera, chiefly by Adolf Neuen- dorff, 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 representa- tions 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 Bey- reuth. Under Seidl " Die Meistersinger " had its first performance in America, in 18865 " Tristan und Isolde" and "Siegfried" in 18875 "Die Cotter- dammerung," 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 " Me- 68 ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA fistofele," with Campanini, Valleria, Gary and Novara. About this time he found a strong com- petitor in Henry E. Abbey, who secured Nilsson as a counter-attraction to Patti who was under Maple- son. 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 diffi- culties and finally ended in disaster, although not for some years. To many people, who can remem- ber the rivalry between Abbey and Mapleson in the eighties, when Patti, Gerster, Sembrich, Scalchi, Nilsson, Annie Louise Gary, 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 de- velopment 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.

Auditorium dedicated, in Chicago, 111, CHAPTER VII 1890 1900 THE decade covered in this chapter was remark- able 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 hunt- ing 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. 95 96 ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA There was also a large list of violin virtuosi begin- ning with Adolf Brodsky, who was followed by Henri Marteau, Cesar Thomson, Ondriczek, Bur~ mester, Halir, Gregorovitch, Marsick, Maud Mac- Carthy, 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, SchoeflFel and Maurice Grau, and for some years provided opera for the country. Signor Luigi Arditi, who first appared as conductor of the Havana Com- pany 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 honor- able quality. Maurice Grau was the cleverest of entrepreneurs" Among the singers brought here by this combina- ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA 97 tion 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 Plangon. 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 manag- ing a company of which Melba was the star. In 1896 Ernestine Schumann-Heink made her first American appearance in Chicago, and the fol- lowing 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 98 ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA 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 Do'nizetti 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 cc Rip van Winkle," and Walter Damrosch had brought out an opera based on Hawthorne's novel a The Scarlet Letter." Anton Dvorak composed his " New World Sym- phony" 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. Peter Cornelius's opera "Der [Barbier von.

During the nineteenth cen- tury the development of the resources of the coun- try 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 communica- tions 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 univer- sally adopted, till we have symphony orchestras even in the moving picture houses. In Grove's Dictionary 117 u8 AXXALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA (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 "sym- phony " 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. Con- verse 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, Kubel'ik, Kocian, Hugo Heerman, 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, Tetraz- zini, Bonci, Renaud, Chaliapine, Morena, Destinn, ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA 119 Mary Garden, John McCormack, Edouard Clement, and Slezak, samples of many nationalities. This brings us to the opera. Maurice Grau re- signed 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 Conned 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 en- semble. 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 com- petitor in Henry W. Savage, who produced " Parsi- fal " in English a few days in advance of Mr. Conned J s production. This was followed in 1906 by Strauss's " Salome." Conried died in 1908 and was succeeded by the dual control of Signer Gatti- Casazza and Andreas Dippel, but Dippel soon re- signed 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 Man- hattan Opera House in New York City and instituted 120 ANNALS OF MUSIC IN AMERICA 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 stock- holders. 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 excep- tion, 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 through- out 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 pro- duce a few operas, but the nation must grow musi- cally 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.
