British Première Of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9
The British première of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, also known as his "Choral Symphony", took place in London at the Argyll Rooms on 21 March 1825.

Neate lived in Vienna from 1815 to 1816 and met Beethoven, who supervised his musical studies there. In subsequent years Neate corresponded with Beethoven, and publicized the composer's works at the Philharmonic. Ries, a pupil of Beethoven, lived in London from 1813 to 1824. He was introduced to the Philharmonic, and many of his compositions were performed at their concerts.Paul Nettl. "Ries" and "Neate, Charles" in ''Beeth ...

Ode To Joy
"Ode to Joy" (German language, German: , literally "To [the] Joy") is an ode written in the summer of 1785 by German poet, playwright, and historian Friedrich Schiller and published the following year in ''Thalia (magazine), Thalia''. A slightly revised version appeared in 1808, changing two lines of the first and omitting the last stanza. "Ode to Joy" is best known for its use by Ludwig van Beethoven in the final (fourth) movement of his Symphony No. 9 (Beethoven), Ninth Symphony, completed in 1824. Symphony No. 9 (Beethoven)#Text of the fourth movement, Beethoven's text is not based entirely on Schiller's poem, and it introduces a few new sections. His tune (but not Schiller's words) was adopted as the "Anthem of Europe" by the Council of Europe in 1972 and subsequently by the European Union. Rhodesia's national anthem from 1974 until 1979, "Rise, O Voices of Rhodesia", used the tune of "Ode to Joy". The poem Schiller wrote the first version of the poem in German when he w ...

Franz Cramer
Franz Anton Dorotheus Cramer or François Cramer (12 June 17721 August 1848) was an English violinist and conductor who was Master of the King's/Queen's Musick from 1834 until his death. He was born in either Mannheim or London, the son of Wilhelm Cramer and the brother of Johann Baptist Cramer. He was no doubt his father's pupil. Next to nothing seems to be known about his activities or compositions, yet he was appointed Master of the King's Musick in 1834, by King William IV, succeeding Christopher (or Christian) Kramer, who was no relation. The king died in 1837, and Cramer continued as Master of the Queen's Musick to Queen Victoria. He did not contribute any music to her coronation, leading ''The Spectator'' to complain that he had been allowed "to proclaim to the world his inability to discharge the first, and the most grateful duty of his office — the composition of a Coronation Anthem". He died in 1848 aged 76, and was succeeded by George Frederick Anderson. The o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
