Book Description
Excerpt from The Organists Composers of S. Paul's Cathedral The following papers have appeared, at various times, in the columns of The Musical Standard. In response to urgent requests from many persons, including several cathedral organists and musicians of distinction, they are now re-published, with considerable additions, in a collected form. Appended will be found some account of the Cathedral organ and the various alterations and improvements it has undergone from time to time. Short biographical notices of the principal English composers, incidentally alluded to in the body of the work, have likewise been introduced, together with a list of their chief contributions to Church music. Considerable pains have been taken to ascertain the correct dates of birth, death, and appointments of each composer. In some cases it has been found impossible to verify these exactly, and, for such shortcomings, the reader's kind indulgence is asked.

Pages : 665
Book Description
When we speak of "classical music" it often refers rather loosely to serious "art" music but at the core is really the music of the classical period running from about 1730 to 1800, give or take. This was truly one of the most glorious periods for both composition and performance and it is this classical music which is still at the core of today's repertoire. Obvious names connected with this period are Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, but there were many more still reasonably well known like Gluck and C.P.E Bach, and dozens more who are regrettably little known today. This Historical Dictionary of Music of the Classical Period includes not only these composers, but also eminent conductors and performers, patrons, and publishers. There are also dictionary entries on major centers of music-making, typical instruments, important technical terms, and emerging musical forms, including the symphony and opera. Indeed, with a 1,000 cross-referenced entries, there is information on most matters of interest. This is prefaced by an extensive chronology, tracing the course of this period from year to year, and an introduction taking a careful look at the period as a whole. Finally, there is a substantial bibliography. Surely, this is a book which will appeal not only to students and researchers but all music-lovers.
