It really bothered me when I was younger when people called me “white” for liking Rock music and it’s subcategories. After researching the origins of music, I’m glad I stayed true to myself and now I realized… this music is within me. This is one of my favorite documentaries (on punk music specifically) because it affirms I am out of the ordinary; and I’m not the only one ✨

1918 Women’s Glee Club Concert Program, State University of Iowa

This concert program caught our eye for a couple of reasons. 

1. It features music by two women composers - Cecile Chaminade and Amy Beach, which is pretty great.
   
2. There are notes on the performance on the back of the program that read thus:
   

Ruth, Margaret and I went together. I like it all very much - only it made me feel more keenly than ever how worthless I was. I can’t play anything or sing anything. Miss Hamill’s violin solo was beautiful.

Hopefully Ruth and Margaret were able to cheer their companion up and make her realize that being an attentive and receptive audience member is of quite excellent value.

Music for Passion Week and Good Friday

This 19th century Episcopal hymnal contains common tunes and a variety of texts that can be used with each tune. The index of texts is organized by Subject and also by Occasion. There are handful of texts available for Passion Week and Good Friday, including Hymn 65 which carries the subject “Awfulness of the Savior’s Death”.

As for the actually hymnbook, it’s been rebound in this - to use a phrase borrowed from a colleague in @uispeccoll- “marvelous marble”.

Now I’m off to find some rousing Easter day literature to share on Sunday!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 

Today’s entry features a song titled “Éirinn go Brách” or “Erin Go Bragh” printed in an early 19th century songbook. The book, The Thrush, has a beautiful engraving on the title page, as well as a mix of tunes sourced primarily from England and Scotland.

This particular musical declaration of “Erin Go Bragh” is often subtitled “the exiled Irishman’s lament”. 

Its authorship was a matter of some dispute in 1844, when Thomas Campbell claimed to have written the song, though it was attributed to a George Nugent Reynolds. You can read the resulting exchange in the brochure, “Memoranda of Irish matters, by obscure men of good intention”, available via Google Books (the discussion starts on page 81). Members the Reynolds family and other acquaintances provide evidence that George indeed wrote the song. 

The memorandum concludes:

Some days after this memorandum had been sent to press, the melancholy intelligence of the death of Mr. Campbell arrived in Dublin. 

Upon this announcement, the first impulse of the writer of this Memoranda was to sup press altogether this paper, lest its publication might wound the feelings of the surviving relatives of the poet. 

But upon consideration he did not feel that he had a right to keep back the solemn declarations of the family and friends of Mr. Reynolds upon this subject, which had been entrusted to him for the purpose of publication. 

He has accordingly allowed that portion of the Memorandum which contains these declarations to be printed, and has suppress ed the remainder. He found it impossible, in the short time allowed for revision, so to re-mould his arguments as to avoid attach ing some blame to Mr. Campbell for his con duct in this matter, and this he could not bear to do so soon after the poet’s eyes were closed in death.

Oh, and there’s a song called “Corn Rigs are Bonny”. #iowa

Excited to be joining Tim next Thursday on his new series #HaveYouEverHeard. We’ll be talking about how discovering Women’s Music pioneer Meg (Shambhavi) Christian changed our lives. Can’t wait!
