"[Elektra]... marked the beginning of [Strauss's] artistic association with Hugo von Hofmannsthal, whom he had first met in Berlin in 1899. Having seen Reinhardt's riveting production of Hofmannsthal's Elektra in the autumn of 1905, Strauss was convinced the play would make a compelling opera. Not entirely sure he should compose consecutive tragedies, he nonetheless gave in to Hofmannsthal's pleading and vigorously began… Read More

Description:
Large oblong folio. Spiral bound. 53 pp. Notated in pencil on 18-stave manuscript paper with numerous revisions, additions, and annotations in lead and blue pencil. Commissioned jointly by the New York Philharmonic and Kölnmusik and the Orchestre National de Lyon, Through the Ancient Valley was first performed on 14 March 2001 by the New York Philharmonic with Kurt Masur conducting and Yo-Yo Ma as soloist; Mr. Ma was also soloist in the first performances in France and Germany. "Both [of Danielpour's] cello concerti... embrace dualities. In Through the Ancient Valley (2000), several of these are specific to the work and are suggested by the title. There was a literal valley through which ancient travelers passed from East to West. This trade route, in use for about 1,500 years beginning in the second century B.C., is part of ancient history, thus one dichotomy that Danielpour examines is that of ancient versus modern eras. In addition, the valley represents the physical distance between East and… Read More

1891 CUSTER Indian Wars era Tenting Old Camp Ground Kittredge Civil War Songs

A self-taught American musician Walter Kittredge is best known for the war-themed songs he wrote during the Civil War. Before the war, he traveled as a minstrel throughout the Northeast both alone and with the famous Hutchinson Family Singers. Kittredge wrote over 500 songs and ballads sung by both the North and the South, the most famous of which include "Tenting on the Old Camp Ground" and "When They Come Marching Home". "Tenting On The Old Camp Ground" (also known as "Tenting Tonight") was a popular song during the Civil War, particularly to the Union Army. This song is about the life of a solider, missing home and loved ones and the men dying or wounded in battle.
This 1891 edition includes excellent illustrations by Charles Copeland with the words of Kittredge's famous song throughout the book. The song, with its original musical score, is also printed at the end.
