SONGS WITH GUITAR FROM THE AGE OF NAPOLEON

John McCormick

INTRODUCTION

In this, the 5^th incarnation of "Songs with Guitar from The Age of Napoleon", I have made a few changes and have added a considerable number of songs and collection locations to the "catalogue" of composers and libraries. The changes I have made are as follows: I have shortened the commentary section to a considerable degree, sticking mainly to "factual" material and omitting as many of my editorial comments as I could without gritting my teeth.

I have put the library and collection listing (catalogue) that you will find at the very end in better order, namely, alphabetically by library sigla, thus, in effect, grouping them by country. I have also added a biography or two. Finally, I have made some more corrections, and there are numerous additions in my listings. It should be observed that the song composer and collection listings are still far from complete, since such a vast number of songs with guitar were composed during this period. However, as further discoveries are made, they will be added to the lists.

COMMENTARY

The approximate time-period in which I am interested encompasses the latter part of the 18^th century and extends through the beginnings of the 19^th century. This era is variously known as The Age of Reason, The Rossini Period, The Age of Napoleon, the beginning of the romantic period, the end of the classical period, the classic-romantic period, and by any one of a countless number of other labels that have been attached to this tumultuous, creative era. Whichever is used depends entirely on the vantage point from which one views this remarkable time.

During this time, profound changes in virtually all aspects of society swept across Europe in an amazingly short time. They affected every aspect of the social, economic, cultural and political environment. Of all the possibilities that present themselves as ways of identifying this period, which in certain contexts does not even span what we would normally regard as one generation, The Age of Napoleon seems to best personify the character of the music that is the subject of this presentation. The social and political structure of the age had a profound influence on musical tastes, and most specifically, on the incredible popularity of the guitar. Furthermore, many of the composers listed below owe much of their success to the active support of either Napoleon himself, or to that of his many relatives who had been strategically placed throughout his far-flung empire. For all of his faults, he and most of his family members were, most certainly, ardent supporters of the arts, especially music.

The fact that the guitar was extremely popular during this period is well documented. During the Age of Napoleon, its popularity was equaled only by the popularity of singing. Singing in its various forms has always been the single most universal form of music making, but during this period, it became especially widespread. Opera and song were the two most important forms of musical entertainment. However, because of The Revolution, and all the events surrounding it, operatic themes (and song) underwent a radical change. Before the revolution, operatic librettos dealt largely with real or imagined historical events that had to do with royalty and pageantry. After the revolution, comic opera came into vogue, often using humor to lampoon those in authority or to make fun of past royalist practices.

Today, we often overlook many of the social mores attached to musical practices of the past, which are now completely different. This is, in part, because we tend to see the eighteenth century through today's eyes, often at our own expense. Take, for example, our use of the terms "popular" and "classical" as applied to styles of music. This terminology is a modern innovation stemming from compositional practices that began to evolve in the latter part of the nineteenth century, when composers began thinking in terms of writing music for the "ages", attempting to express through music grand philosophical thoughts that transcend a specific time or place. This approach was then taken one step further, with "experimental" music, which heralded the first time in history that an attempt was made to write music with a total disregard for its potential audience. It was also the first time in history a composer was not expected to make a living through composing.

In the late 18^th century, there was no distinction between "serious" and "popular" music. The closest approximation of this concept could only be drawn from the time of royalty, when serious musicians were dependent on the whims and tastes of their royal employers. They were called upon to write and perform elegant music for elegant tastes. Demand for their music was most often associated with a specific event - a wedding, a coronation, a banquet or for the entertainment of a visiting dignitary. None of these touched the average person of the day unless it was part of a specifically staged public event. The only other avenue for the composer was through the church. Indeed, this was a rich period in the volume of music produced for the church that extended well through the Napoleonic era. Through one of the many vagaries of history, not much of the liturgical music written during the Age of Napoleon is heard today. While most of it may not now be seen to have been on a par with many of the great masterpieces from previous eras, it, along with secular vocal music, began to reflect the changing tastes of the times, taking on a rich simplicity that marked a new-found preoccupation with closely wedding the text and the melodic line.

For the practicing musician, the most telling and personal effect of the French Revolution was the sudden and complete loss of his livelihood. Musicians had worked for royalty. Now, aside from Napoleon and his family, there was no more "royalty". For better or for worse, the Revolution heralded the dawn of "free enterprise". Therefore, in order for them to make a living, musicians of all kinds, as well as publishers, instrument makers, and impresarios, were all faced with the need to find new markets for their wares. Under the circumstances, this involved going directly to the average "man on the street".

Today, those of us who are given to think about such things sometimes marvel at the volume of works commonly turned out by a single composer during this time and previous eras. Haydn, Schubert, Mozart and Rossini are names that immediately come to mind. The days when a composer such as Johannes Brahms could afford to take twenty years or so to think about one symphony were yet to come. In the Age of Napoleon, the free market was more like a free-for-all for everyone involved in music. There were no copyright laws, for example. Anyone could publish anything that might sell, whether it was already being published by someone else or not. Under such circumstances, composers had no control over the fate of their music, once it was sold to a publisher, even to the extent of merely correcting typographical errors. Nor could they benefit from arrangements of their music done by a person hired by the publisher, a very common practice with music for which there was a demand. In addition, there were no restrictions on publishers "stealing" from other publishers. There are countless instances in which a given work of a composer appeared in numerous editions put out by dozens of publishers in as many countries. They each, in turn, issued arrangements of popular works for what now seems like rather bizarre combinations of voices and instruments. This was especially true of operatic arias, since opera, especially comic opera containing a generous dose of political satire, was the most popular music of the day.. If a particular opera succeeded in becoming well known, arias were extracted for publication in whatever form would sell to the public. In all of this, the composer had no say and reaped no benefits.

Under the circumstances, composers were always heavily involved in self-promotion. This generally took the form of performing their own music in concerts. Unlike concert programs of today, in which the performer presents works by a variety of composers from different periods, the performer was most often the composer, and the program was made up entirely of his or her own compositions. Very rarely did a performer present works by other composers. There were also occasions, especially in Vienna, when concerts were sponsored by wealthy patrons that involved the participation of several performers, all of whom presented samples of their works.

Over a long period, almost since the beginnings of opera, staged performances involving singing were often no more than showcases for singers who were capable of displaying the greatest range and flexibility in their voices. By the 18^th century, their careers had come to depend almost entirely on their ability to dazzle their audiences. Their vocal displays normally included improvisation of lavish melodic ornamentation, often so extreme that it rendered the work of the composer nearly unrecognizable. One manifestation of this trend was the phenomenon of the castrato, a voice type that began in the church and migrated into opera. This was a voice with incomparable power, range and agility, ideally suited for the times.

Beginning in the second half of the 18^th century, however, this all began to change. Audiences, performers and composers alike began to view such practices as straying far afield from the intrinsic spirit of music, and in particular, of singing. The pendulum began to swing completely toward simplicity, expressivity, and respect for the wishes of the composer. In both opera and song, the emphasis became that of placing great importance on communication of the text, on a beautiful, flowing legato line, and on musical simplicity.

This trend toward simplicity and directness in Italian song without further development may have been its undoing with respect to its historic perpetuation as a great art form. Elsewhere, the same theme of expressivity began to take the form of innovation; largely centered on exploiting the perceived capabilities of the piano The major innovation was to establish the "accompanying" instrument and the voice as equal partners, and to compositionally place melody, text, harmony and rhythm on an equal footing. This was a purposeful break from the time-honored tradition associated with solo song, in which every other musical element was subservient to the vocal line.

Girolamo Crescentini, one of the composers of songs with guitar listed below, was among those who contributed substantially to this change in thinking. One of the most famous of the Castrati, and virtually the only one to remain active during this time, he became disenchanted with the prevailing trends and retired as a singer. He established himself instead as a teacher of singing and wrote several treatises on the aesthetics of the voice. He also wrote numerous songs and vocalizes to illustrate his point, a substantial number of which are accompanied by the guitar.

Although there were undoubtedly other poets who were also popular, the majority of Italian songs at this time, whether they were written with guitar or other instruments, used as their texts the poetry of Pietro Metastasio. According to the Oxford Companion to Music, Metastasio was "born in Rome in 1698 and died in Vienna in 1782, aged eighty-four. He was a grocer's son who, being heard at the age of eleven publicly improvising verses in the street, was adopted and educated by a wealthy man of learning, Gravina, who later left him a fortune. He now climbed rapidly, devoting himself particularly to the provision of texts for music, and becoming the most celebrated librettist in Europe--almost The Librettist, for his dramas were accepted as the perfection of their kind, some of them being set by twenty or thirty different composers, so that their every word was known in advance by the audiences of the day, as regular church-goers know their book of prayers. Gluck, Handel, Haydn and Mozart were amongst his clients. Hasse set all his librettos once and some twice. His poetic works, other than those for music, were translated into many languages. For over half a century he lived in Vienna as court poet."

As was the case with his libretti before, some of his many verses that songwriters used quickly became favorites. One such was Ecco quel fiero istante. It was set to music not only by Metastasio himself, but also by no less a composer than Mozart. Others included Zingarelli, Johann Gottlieb Naumann and Pellegrini. Among the composers of guitar accompanied song who used this verse were Carulli, Crescentini, Brambilli and Melia, to name a few. It was also used by numerous anonymous writers of songs with guitar, piano, and orchestra. It was set for duets, vocal trios and choruses. This verse was only one of many that enjoyed such repeated use. In fact, among the many songs with guitar in the Italian language I have encountered, whether the composer in Italian or another nationality, it is somewhat rare that one of them has verses by a poet other than Mestastasio.

Such evolutionary processes also made it easy for future historians to place comparative value judgments on differing styles of song writing, at the expense of those, which did not follow their particular way of thinking. It has been my experience over the years that most of the literature I have read having to do with music history and biographical information on composers contains the common flaw of having subjective opinion presented under the guise of factual information. This tendency seems to be especially true of general reference material. Naturally, the tendency is far less prevalent in works devoted to the in-depth study of a given composer. On the other hand, perhaps such subjective evaluations are seen as being more acceptable in such a context. In any event, it usually takes the form of a gratuitous opinion concerning the quality of a particular composer's work, or the aesthetic characteristic of a specific composition. In light of the highly personal nature of musical taste, this practice is, at best, flawed, and for the most part, highly misleading. In my view, one of the results of this practice has been to minimize the artless simplicity of Italian song writing during the late 18^th century, dismissing it as being, for the most part, mundane. This seems to be especially true of songs written with guitar, since they have all been ignored in standard music history texts.

Songs with guitar from this period present numerous opportunities in the realm of subtle artistic expression. This is intimate music; designed for intimate settings. The lessons of this body of music were to influence songwriters and singers for many generations. Correctly or incorrectly, I have long felt that if it were not for this music, and the trends it set in terms of expressivity, vocal technique, and the wedding of the text to the melodic line, similar vocal writing, notably the somewhat later German Lied with piano, might very well have taken a different turn.

THE COMPOSERS AND THEIR SONGS

• Accorimboni - Se perdo l'idol mio [15]
• Agliasti, Luigi
• Alström, Olof (1756-1835) - Louises Graf * Sörg ej den gryende dagen (voice and lute) * Här vid denna silver bächen (voice and lute) [22]
• Albenese (1729-1800) - Wrote three collections of songs with guitar and violin that were published in Paris. These collections included a few guitar solos as well, along with vocal duets, songs with one and two violins and bass; voice, guitar and bass, and other combinations. The songs are mostly on French texts and are in a popular vein. In some cases, it is difficult to tell whether a particular songs is an arrangement or an original composition. All of the accompaniments were written for five-string guitar.
• Alt, E. - So ist mein Wunsch (1825) [11]
• .Ambrosche, Joseph Charles (Bohemia) (1759-1822) -- Als ich auf meines Bleiche [11] * Romance des Pagen aus Figaros, op. 5 - (Several songs with guitar published mainly between 1800 and 1817.) Here is one of a number of examples I have found thus far of singers who also composed. Unlike some of the others, Ambrosche limited himself to writing songs. Although his output was relatively small as compared to other such composers, he did write a significant number, many of which were with guitar. According to the article in Groves, "his lied style ranges from simple, strophic, folk-like works to more complex pieces.........His accompaniments are quite simple, but his vocal lines often have numerous embellishments". His singing career began in Prague. After he made his debut at Bayreuth, he remained in Germany for the rest of his life. He remained a prominent and respected musical figure in Berlin until his death.
• Amon, Johann Andreas (1763-1825) - Wahrsagenlied [11] - Amon was born in Bamburg and began his musical career as a singer. He later studied the violin and guitar, as well as horn playing. He also founded a music publishing company.
• Andrade, Jean Auguste (d. 1793) - Souvenir [2]
• Andreozzi - Tout m'alarme tout excite et ma crainte et mes regrets [2]
• Anelli, Giuseppe (Joseph) - Non dormo un'ora al gano (aria) * Grazie o pietosi Dei (aria) * Vado in traccia del ben mio (cavatina) * Povero cor tu palpiti (cavatina) * Child of heart with the Golden Hair (cavatina) * Tre cavatine * estrate dalla cantata - Borne in Turin at the beginning of the 19^th century. Wrote about 300 songs with guitar. Little is known abour Anelli concerning his exact date of birth or his birthplace. He was distinguishing himself as a performer as early as 1809 in Turin. For some time he was employed by the Princess Paolina Borghese, Napoleon's sister. During this time, he not only gave solo guitar concerts, but often performed as a vocal soloist to his own guitar accompaniment. At the end of 1813 Anelli left Italy for Paris, where he stayed for a short time. .There he came to know Fernando Sor and became his rival in guitar concerts. He was sometimes judged by Parisian music critics to be the better performer of the two. Here he played for the public his two Concerti for guitar and orchestra, the scores of which are now presumably lost. In 1815, Anelli moved to London, though he continued to visit Italy, After a brief stay in London, he moved to the provinces west of London, where he appears to have remained for the rest of his life

• Barbereau, Mathurin-Auguste (1799-1879) - Heure du soir [2]
• Bassi, Nicola
• Bathioli or Barthioli, Francois (beginning of 19^th century) - Lived in Vienna where many of his compositions were published. He died in 1830. In addition to writing songs for voice and guitar, he wrote a number of guitar solos and a guitar method that included basic instructions in singing, and songs with guitar accompaniment. Much of his music was published by Diabelli.

• Berger, Ludwig (1777-1839) - An die Geliebten [11] - Prolific composer of lieder and sacred choral music. This is the only song for voice and guitar by this composer I have found so far. Given the total volume of music he wrote, it is easy to suspect there might very well be more.
• Bertioli, Alessandro - Lived in London during the first part of the 19^th century
• Berton, Henry-Montan (1767-1844) - Agnes Sorel. [4]
• Bevilacqua, Matteo P.

W/ guitar by Bianchi) * Verita * Rimprovero di disinganno * Pretensione ingiusta [15] * Agitazion d'amore [26] [10] [14] * An Emma * No non vo piu rogatoli [6] * Pretensione ingiusta [18] * Smorfiofella [18] [27] [53] * Douze (12) Chansons Italiannes - Bianchi was a prolific writer of songs to French, German and Italian texts. Many of these songs were with guitar accompaniment, even though he was primarily neither a composer nor a guitarist. He was, instead, a famous operatic baritone. Although he sang in Milan, Genoa and Paris during his early career, he enjoyed his greatest success in Germany. He remained a permanent member of the opera buffa company at the Prussian court for many years. The only adverse criticism his performances received was on the few occasions that he attempted to sing German opera in German. The songs he wrote were published and re-published, mostly in Berlin and Hamburg. The few operas and ballets he wrote were only moderately successful.
• Bianchi, Francesco ( 1752-1810) - À votre belle soyez fidèle * Villanella rapita [2] * Maître de chapelle [27] * Douze chansons italiennes *
• Bigatti, Carlo (1779-1854) - Non dorma un ora al giorno (Cavatina) [15]

As a boy he sang in the Turin Cathedral choir and was a pupil of Bernardo Ottani. Arriving in Paris in 1799, he became fashionable as a singer, composer of salon music and singing teacher. He made his debut as an opera composer at the Theatre Feydeau in 1802 and at the Opera in 1806. In 1805 he became Maestro di Cappella to the Duke of Saxe-Coburg in Munich; he was also in the service of Pauline Borghese, Napoleon's sister, who had an affair with him. In 1809, Napoleon transferred him to Kassel, where he was director of the theater, maestro di cappella and master of chamber music to the new King of Westfalia, Jerome Bonaparte, with whom he remained until the king fell from power. Back in Paris in 1814,, he was superintendent of the royal chapel, court composer, and professor of singing at the Conservatoire. He was a member of the Legion d'honneur and received an auristocratic title, became a French citizen and married a banker's daughter. After the revolution of 1830, he lost his court appointments, and as a musician, was overtaken by the rise of romanticism. His autobiography was published in Paris in 1834. Blangini composed nearly 30 operas, mostly operas comiques, as well as sacred works and vocal chamber music; he claimed, and has subsequently been credited with, the invention of the vocal nocturne. Many of his stage works were unsuccessful and received few performances. They were written in a light, almost banal style, and although several romances are appealing, there is generally much artificiality in his harmonic language and formal structure. [The preceding analysis is by the contributor to Groves Opera on the composer. Not having heard the music, I would have no way of verifying those opinions. However, I would not take such statements as a deterrent that would prevent me from investigating Blangini's songs with guitar. (J.Mc)]
• Blum, Carl Ludwig (1786-1844) - Balladen, Romanzen und lieder [51] * Schäne kommen gezogen (2 voices & guitar) * Kleine Blumen, kleiner Blätter [53] - A pupil of Antonio Salieri and a prolific composer, his works include numerous songs and romances with guitar accompaniment.

He lived in London from 1800-1803 where he perfected his skills on the guitar, studying with local teachers. After 1803, he moved to Germany for his concert activities, living for some years in Braunschweig and Berlin. In about 1805 he moved to Vienna, where he enjoyed success as a composer and teacher. In addition to his many works for mandolin, Bortolazzi wrote many chamber pieces calling for the guitar, and songs for voice and guitar. He also wrote a Method for the guitar.

He did, however, write numerous songs with guitar, one set of which was dedicated to Giuseppina Grassini, a famous soprano of the time who was also a mistress of Napoleon.
• Caruso, Luigi (1754-1822) - Trova un sola mia bella Clori (2 voices & guitar) * Sentirsi dire (2 voices, violin & guitar) * Ah se di te mi privi (2 sopranos, violin & guitar * Sento già in sen che l'alma (2 sopranos, violin & guitar) * Fuggi dagl'occhi miei (2 Sop., violin & guitar) * Ah non pianger bell'idol mio (2 sop., violin & guitar) [36]
• Champein, Stanislas (1753-1830) - O dieux qui m'avez tout oté [4]
• Cimarosa, Domenico (1749-1801) - Sei Canzonette Italiane - Though of by many as "the Italian Mozart", Cimarosa was a highly successful composer of comic opera.. Even though he traveled to other places, he spent much of his life in his native Naples. When he was in Vienna in 1792, he performed his Il Matrimonio Segreto. The Emperor ordered supper to be served to the performers and then told them to perform the entire opera again. Cimarosa helped welcome the French revolutionary troops into Naples in 1799, and when the Bourbon monarchy later regained power, he was arrested and spent a short time in prison. He died shortly thereafter at the age of 51 in Venice. In addition to his many light-hearted comic operas for which he was most famous, he wrote quite a number of songs and keyboard sonatas. It is suspected that his few songs with guitar may have had their accompaniments crafted by an unknown contemporary, although this speculation is without specific foundation. In view of his wide-ranging skills as a composer, it is equally possible he wrote them himself.

The manuscripts apparently contain both piano and guitar accompaniment. There were printed issues with either one or both)] - Composer of songs with guitar published by Artaria, Vienna, and by Simrock, Bonn He was a famous castrato singer who was admired and supported by Napoleon. Following a long and successful singing career, he turned to the teaching of singing, and quickly became established in this capacity at the Conservatory in Naples. His musical training began very early, following in the footsteps of those two generations before him. Also, as with his predecessors, he began singing in public at a very early age. However, unlike his predecessors, whose youthful singing generally took place in church, Crescentini was singing comic opera in the small town of Fano at the age of 14. He was one of many castrati who could be characterized as very learned men. In addition to undergoing long and disciplined training in the art of singing, as well as in other musical skills, they often had extensive literary training. When they retired from singing, they often became bibliophiles and dealers in books, as well as teachers, composers, and performers on musical instruments. He may have played others, the piano, for example, but Crescentini's musical instrument, on which he was very adept in both writing and playing, was the guitar. As a teacher of singing, he wrote several treatises on the subject. One, written in about 1810, placed great importance on smooth, legato phrasing, as well as on words and expression. "Singing", he wrote - echoing Caccini after more than two centuries - "must be an imitation of speech".

During a casual conversation, a colleague at the university where I was teaching informed me that the library had facsimile copies of first editions of the complete works of Stephen Foster. Among these works, he told me, were many songs with guitar. I later made copies of them just to have them. Aside from perhaps one or two, the guitar accompaniments, simple as they are, were written by Foster himself rather than by someone else hired by his publisher. Apparently there was a demand for these versions, which were issued along with their piano accompanied companions.

King Friedrich Wilhelm II was so impressed with his talents, he appointed him chamber composer and financed a rather extended trip to Italy, where Himmel studied and composed. While in Italy, his operas were performed in Venice and Naples.. When he returned to Germany, he had elaborate plans to revive interest in opera in his homeland, but his royal employers had no interest in this idea whatsoever. He therefore made the long trips to Russia, Denmark and Sweden, financing the journey with the proceeds from the operas he presented there. Luckily, the trips were very successful, both financially and artistically. After this, his several operas began to enjoy lasting success in Germany. He remained in favor with the court throughout his life, in spite of a pattern of rather erratic behavior. His vocal works are numerous, especially his lieder. For once, among his listed works, the songs with guitar are mentioned, and there are many. It is observed in the course of the essay that his songs are often indebted to the aria melodies of the Italians.

• Kanne, Friedrich (1778-1833) (Vienna) - Wassernymphe - According to P. J. Bone, Kanne authored four volumes of songs with guitar, plus six songs with guitar, op. 9. He was a man of broad interests. Born in Bavaria, he studied medicine in Leipzig and Theology at Wittenburg. He then decided to devote his life to music. In 1808, he moved to Vienna, where he spent the rest of his life. In addition to composing, he was active as a music teacher, journalist and poet.. According to the essay on him in Groves, he never achieved the established success his talents seemed to warrant, primarily because he turned down several offers for permanent positions in preference to maintaining an always tenuous independence. "In addition to a dozen operas an a similar number of theater scores..........he composed songs and duets, a mass, a cantata, a symphony and some instrumental works. He also wrote a number of plays and long and short poems." As usual, no specific mention is made in this reference to his songs with guitar. At this writing, I have not located a source for those listed by Bone. The only one I have found so far is shown below.

He was born in Dessau, Germany and died in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. In addition to his positions in the orchestras of Berlin, Cassel and Donauschingen where he played both instruments, he toured extensively as flutist. While most of his numerous compostions were for flute, he wrote a guitar method and several chamber works involving the guitar He also wrote a large number of songs with guitar that were very popular during his lifetime. They were mainly published by Breitkopf & Hartel and by Aibt, Vienna.

• Martini - Ah Lucette il fallait nous voir ce matin (2 voices & guitar) * J'voudrais ben comprendre pourquoi (2 voices & guitar) * Amis je voudrais peindre Adelle [2] - I wonder which Martini this might be. There were quite a number, since this was a very popular name, especially for foreigners who wanted to make it as opera composers and songwriters in Italy. (see Martin y Soler below)
• Martin y Soler, Vicente (1754-1806) - 12 Canzonette Italiane (Published in a modern performance edition by Editions Orphèe. The songs were originally published with only a sketch of an accompaniment, to be played on piano, harp or guitar. In this modern edition, I wrote a fully realized guitar accompaniment.) - Born in Valencia, Martin y Soler left Spain while he was in his early twenties, never to return. Little is known of his life prior to that time, except that he served for a while as a church organist in his home town, and that he briefly studied composition with Padre Soler (no relation).Settling in Italy where he assumed the name Vincenzio Martini, he became known as Martini lo Spagnuolo, to distinguish him from others with the same popular name. Over the next eight years or so, he established his reputation with nearly a dozen operas written for various Italian cities. Martin y Soler achieved his greatest success when he went to Vienna sometime before 1785, and began a collaboration with the librettist, Lorenzo da Ponte which resulted, among others, in the creation of what became his most famous opera, Una Cosa Rara, o sia belleza ed onesta. Near the end of 1788, he went to Russia, having been commissioned by Catherine II The Great to compose a Russian comic opera, Gore Bogatyr Kosometovich, for which she had written the libretto. During the year of 1795, Martin y Soler spent time in London, collaborating again with Da Ponte, who had married an English woman and had arrived there three years earlier. They produced two more opere buffe, as well as a set of six rather uninspired songs with piano for a Miss Miller, who was apparently a well-known opera singer of the time. Soler then returned to Sty. Petersburg, where he remained for the rest of his life. He died there on February 11, 1806.
• Mayr, Johann Simon (1763-1845) - Catina Bellina grazioso * Chi dice mal d'amore [15] Chi mi nostra chi m'addita [16] * Untitled * Oh come scorrono * Amor perche m'accende [38] * Non mi sprezzar Fileno * Amante mi sarete (duettino with guitar) [46] * -So che l'et [24] * Suonatore sventurato (Soprano, guitar & orchestra) [28] - Mayr received his earliest musical training from his father, Joseph, a schoolteacher and organist. He sang in the church choir, and by the age of ten could play the most difficult keyboard sonatas of Schubert and C.P.E. Bach. In 1774 he was admitted to the Jesuit college in Ingolstadt and in 1781, enrolled in the university there to study theology. During this time he taught himself to play almost all the string and wind instruments and also studied the organ. In 1786 he published a collection of twelve lieder. His musical talent was noticed by a Swiss Freiherr, who took him to Italy in 1787, where he began formal musical studies two years later with Carlo Lenzi in Bergamo. Lenzi, quickly becoming aware of the extent of Mayr's talent, helped obtain financial support from one of the cathedral canons for Mayr to study in Venice with Fernando Bertoni. Mayr's first sacred compositions led to a commission from he Conservatorio di Medicanti for an oratorio. Five more oratorios and cantatas followed, until the death of his patron, Count Pesenti, and encouragement from Piccinni and Peter von Winter caused him to take up opera. His first stage work was Saffo, a serious opera presented during Carnival 1794 at la Fenice, where he had played the viola since the theater opened in 1792. He was to provide one of the two principal carnival productions there. It was during this period that he also supplied other Venetian theaters with more than a dozen comic operas and one-act farces. In 1799, Mayr made his debut at La Scala, Milan,, with a revision of his second serious Venetian opera. Thereafter, he tended to write his serious operas largely for La Scala, although he wrote several for theaters in Naples between 1813 and 1817, and continued to supply occasional ones to La Fenice and other Italian theaters. In the 1820's. Mayr developed cataracts and became blind in 1826. The last of his approximately 80 operas appeared in 1824, however, he remained active in the musical life of Bergamo - teaching, supplying music for the cathedral, and organizing performances of music by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and others rarely heard there. In 1838 he made a trip to Bavaria to visit his birthplace and his sister. He died in 1845. Verdi took time from the production of his opera, Attila, in Venice, to attend Mayr's funeral.
• Méhul, Etienne Nicolas (1763-1817) - Lorsque de mes parents [4] * Le doux mal [53]
• Melia, Gabriello (?-1840) - Duetto, op.15 * Duetto, op.16 * 12 Canzonette * Cavatine * Vini fagiam ben mio difebo il vivo ardor * Questa è la bella face * Quando miro il tuo sembiante * Ecco quel fiero istante * Quando non so dove il mio bene * Sempre più t'amo * So che pietà non hai * Povero cor tu palpiti * Invan si lagna questo mio core * Tradito sprezzato da quello che adoro * Praticel di fiori adorno * Sia benedetto amore * Rondinella a cui rapita * O cara di questa anima amabile [16] - Melia was probably born in Rome in the last decadeof the 1700's, and he seems to have never worked outside that city. He lived for many years in the via de' Sediari (Chairmaker's Street) at number 76, a small street that still exists close to the center of the city; his principal publishers, Ratti and Cencetti did business in the same street. It is reasonable to assume that Melia did not develop his activities elsewhere, maintaining a close relationship with the Rome environment. This can be reliably inferred from the dedicatees of his compositions, who were noble and diplomatic personalities in Rome at the time. Indications of the extent of his teaching activities are found in the dedications of many of his compositions to his students. At the same time there does not seem to be much documentation of his concert activities, which on the surface, appear to have been very limited. At the time, Rome does not appear to have been a favorable climate for the guitar. Giuliani visited Rome around that time and encountered great difficulty in developing much interest in his presence, performing in concert only twice. There is also no evidence of any other important guitarists in Rome.

It is assumed that he spent much of his life in Northern Italy, probably in Milan, since most of what is known of his surviving works were published by Ricordi and other Milanese publishers.
• Mosca, Giuseppe (1772-1839) - Io bramo viver sciolto * Ah che in si bel momento [16] - Mosca was born in Naples. He studied there with Fenaroli at the Conservatory of S. Maria di Loreto. In 1791, his first opera, Silvia e Nardone, was perfomed at the Teatro Nuovo in Rome. For twelve years he composed for various Italian theaters, presenting his operas in Rome, Naples, Venice and elsewhere, usually with much success. In 1803 he went to Paris as maestro al cembalo at the Theatre Italien; he composer additional music when required, but wrote no operas. When Spontini assumed directorship of the theater in 1810, Mosca returned to Italy. After the success of Rossini's La pietra del paragone, Mosca accused Rossini of having plagiarized one of his own operas, , particularly the device of the crescendo, circulating copies of his music as proof. The charge was repeated by critics until Radiciotti discovered that the crescendo had been employed before Mosca's use of it in two operas by Johann Simon Mayr. Moscas style shows a remarkable similarity to Rossini's in many respects, but it would be difficult to decide who influenced whom. In 1817 Mosca went to Palermo as music director of Teatro Carolino, but gave up the post after the revolution of 1820. A return to Milan revived his career. After several years of touring, however, he settled in Messina as director of another theater. He composed more than 40 operas; all were written before 1826.

His concert activities took him for a brief period of time to Paris, London, and presumably Germany around 1812. His major interest, however, was in composition.

Like many other opera composers of his time, he was also a prolific composer of songs, many of which were with guitar accompaniment. Several of his songs were also set to a guitar accompaniment by Carulli.

• Puccini, Domenico (1772-1815) - 6 Ariette e 6 Duettini - The second son of Antonio Puccini and grandfather of Giacomo,, he had his first music lessons from his parents, and continued his studies in Bologna under Mattei and in Naples under Paisello, with whom he remained on excellent terms. From 1806-1809, he was director of the Cappella di Camera, founded by Napoleon's sister Elisa Baciocchi, the Regent of Lucca, and of the municipal chapel from 1811-1815. His death in that year was sudden and mysterious; some think he was poisoned for political reasons. In a mid-19^th century illustration published by Breitkopf & Hartel, Domenico appears with Gretry and other important contemporary musicians, a sure sign of the esteem his music enjoyed. His style is completely theatrical, even in sacred and vocal chamber music compositions; it differed from that of his father so much that he could not complete his father's unfinished Te Deum. The style is very simple and fluid; counterpoint has almost disappeared. In his operas, especially the comic ones, he reveals an outstanding theatrical sense, and a fresh, spontaneous inspiration, along with the assimilation of styles present in the comic operas of the time.

Vicenzo Righini was born five days before Mozart. He was originally a singer in his native Bologna, but during his lifetime, became a famous and important composer. In addition to writing roughly 200 songs to both Italian and German texts, he wrote operas, as well as sacred music and instrumental scores. He established himself as a singing teacher in Vienna in 1780, and later, in 1787, became the first Italian-born Kapellmeister in the royal court of Mainz. He was then appointed Kapellmeister and director of the Italian Opera in Berlin, working with Johann Friedrich Reichardt.

After studying under Bertoni at the Conservatorio dei Medicanti in Venice, he began his career there as a composer of ballets that were usually performed between the acts of an opera. According to Fetis, his first was Mastino della Scala (1783) . Most of the large number that followed were also written for Venice, where he became maestro al cembalo at the Teatro S. Samuele, but he sometimes traveled. At Lucca for the opera season of August to October 1787, he was paid 16 testoni for composing the dances. (Roncaglia, the castrato, was paid 240 testoni for singing 38 performances of the opera. In 1796 he went to London at the invitation of Dragonetti and composed the ballet, The Triumph of Love which, with its groups of cupids flying about the stage, was highly successful; but in the same year he returned to Venice, where he became maestro al cembalo at La Fenice. Trento first attempted opera in 1789 with Orpheo negli Elisi, first performed privately in Verona. From 1791, he produced a large number for the public theaters, specializing in farces and comedies. In 1801 came his one great success, the dramma giocoso quanti casi in un sol giorno, which for twenty years was performed all over Europe under a variety of titles and in many forms. Later, he turned more often to the opera seria, but without great succes. In 1806 he went to Amsterdam as maestro concertatore of the Italian opera house and in 1809 to Lisbon in the same capacity.. In 1811-12 he was in London, where his opera, La Climene was performed at the King's Theater as a vehicle for Angelica Catalani. In 1815 he seems to have been in Munich and then once more in Lisbon. From there he returned to Italy in 1818 and produced several new works, which were almost all failures. He returned to Lisbon in 1821 and remained there until 1824, when he once more went to Italy and produced his last two operas. Trento never became a major figure in Italian opera, and in his later years his works, like so many of his contemporaries, were rendered obsolete by the extraordinary success of the new style of Rossini.

I have the above songs in modern performance editions as published by Thüringer Volksverlag- Weimar, and by Verlag F.E.C. Leuckart - München. Having owned them for quite a few years, I am not altogether sure whether they are currently in print, but I believe they are; however, I have found listings of even more songs by Weber in early editions. They are as follows: An den Mond, Bach, Echo und Kuss, Das Veilchen im Thale, Der arme Minnesänger, Der kleine Fritz an seine jungen Freunde, Die freien Sänger, Gebet um die Geliebte, Ich sah ein Röschen, Klage, Lied der Hirtin, Lied von Clotilde, Maienblümlein, Mailied (2 voices & guitar), Meine Farben, Mein Lieder, meine Sänge, Mein Verlangen, Minnelied, Ninfe, se liete viver bramate (Canzonetta in Italian), Persisches Lied, Schlummerlied, Schwäbisches, Umsonst, Unbefangenheit, Volkslied (Mein Schatzerl is Hübsch!), Volkslied (Weine nur nicht), Was zieht zu deinem Zauberkreise, Wiegenlied, Wunsch und Entsagung [53]

• Winter, Peter von (1754-1825) - Cos'e mai questo vago animale (Cavatina for Tenor, Guitar and Orch.)

It is the only work by him I have found thus far which was originally written for voice and guitar (in this case with orchestra). However, there are several instances in which either he or someone else arranged some of his arias and other operatic excerpts with guitar accompaniment. Since these works are in the Johann Simon Mayr collection in Bergamo, Italy, one could easily presume that Winter was well acquainted with Mayr. In fact, it was Winter who first persuaded Mayr to try his hand at writing operas.
• Zucconi, Francesco (18^th cent.) - Sechs Gesange mit Begleitung der Guitarre oder Pianoforte
• Zumsteeg, Johann Rudolf (1760=1802) - Welt ohne sie [11] * Allah gibt Kicht in Nächten * An Leonoren * Una Ballade * Lied aus der ferne * Freuden der Gegenwart * Erscheinung [15] War ich ein muntres Velein * Russisches Brautlied [53] - The fame of Zumsteeg rests in his importance as a song composer of his time. He was among the first to develop the "ballad" form of song writing in the context of the German Lied, along with Carl Loewe. This poetic genre involved the use of numerous verses with which to tell a story, alternating between narration and dialogue. This form was derived from the popular ballads of England and Scotland and often involves the telling of romantic adventures and supernatural happenings. In most cases, an effort was made to preserve the forthright qualities of the old folk ballads on which they were modeled. Therefore it is not surprising that Zumsteeg would employ the use of the guitar in many of his works of this form.
