Finale: Con energico 24:22 Greenwich Symphony Orchestra David Gilbert, conductor Chester Edward Ide (June 13, 1877—March 18, 1944) was an American composer and music teacher, primarily known for his operettas, some major instrumental works, and his participatory teaching methods. Chester Edward Ide was born on June 13, 1877, in Springfield, Illinois to a prominent local family. Ide began piano lessons at the age of 7. When he was 16, he expressed the intention to become a concert pianist and, at his request, his parents sent him to London in 1894 to study music at the Royal Academy of Music. There he studied with Ebenezer Prout, Frederick Corder, and F. W. Davenport. During his school years, he published his first song, entitled “Song of Love and Death,” with words by Alfred, Lord Tennyson Ide spent 6 months in Berlin, Germany, and then returned to Illinois in 1900, to teach piano, music theory, and composition at the Springfield Conservatory of Music. During this period, he composed several early orchestra works, including two Waltzes, the Idyllic Dances for orchestra, a Second Suite for Orchestra, the piano piece “Waltz to Margaret,” and more songs. Ide was married twice. His first marriage was around 1907 to Margaret Dorothy Townley Lawrence, of the Springfield area. They had two children. They were divorced probably sometime between 1909 and 1915. His second marriage was to Vella Martin, of Galesburg, Illinois. They had two daughters: Letitia and Elfrid. In 1908 he had a work performed in New York City at the Institute of Musical Art (now the Juilliard School). The work was “Melody for Violin;” it was performed by Archule Sheasby, violin, and Edith Longstreet, piano. Ide moved there sometime between 1913 and 1915. In New York, he became involved in many musical activities. He was sponsored by Arthur Farwell, for whom he served as a local leader of the American Music Society. In the 1920s, Ide moved to Connecticut, where he worked as a music teacher at the Unquowa School in Fairfield, Connecticut, a private elementary school. In the early 1930s, during the Great Depression, Ide was laid off from his teaching position. Out of work, he embarked on an intensive period of composition, encouraged by friends John Kirkpatrick (pianist), Quinto Maganini (flautist and conductor), and Gregory Tucker (pianist). It was during this time that he composed his Symphony in A Minor, which was finished in 1932 and dedicated to Georges Bizet. “While he was writing it, his mother died,…and his sadness is reflected in the slow, dirge-like second movement”. In the 1930s and 1940s Ide's work met with growing success. Ide had moved to Greenwich Connecticut and had found work as a music teacher at The Edgewood School. It was described as a “private school of progressive trend, which closed in 1956,” and was located in Rock Ridge, Connecticut. His wife was a teacher there also. There he composed several children's operettas, many of them co-composed by his students as part of their musical training. The students also performed in them. His works received several local performances during this time, including a performance of his Suite in B Minor in 1933 by the Maganini Chamber Symphony at Greenwich's Masonic Temple. Ide's Piano Sonata in A was also premiered in 1933 by his pianist friend John Kirkpatrick, at the Greenwich Library. Ide died on Saturday, March 18, 1944. in Greenwich, Connecticut, after a brief illness. He was buried in Springfield, Illinois, in the family plot.
Hubert Bath Frederick Corder Rossetti Dragon 1883 1933 1944 1945
#2 from 'Sonnet Suite' (pub. 1933) / The British composer Hubert Bath +••.••(...)) studied composition with Frederick Corder at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Although he wrote light orchestral suites and stage music, he is remembered today for his 1930s film scores, and in particular, for one of his last works, the 'Cornish Rhapsody' for piano and orchestra, which appeared in the 1944 film 'Love Story'. You can read much more about Bath's life and works here: (http•••) . This beautiful piece takes as its inspiration the very same words from the Pre-Raphaelite poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti that Vaughan William set many years earlier in his song of the same name (although Bath only quotes the first few lines of each verse): "Your hands lie open in the long fresh grass, / The finger-points look through like rosy blooms: Your eyes smile peace. ................................................................... Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragon-fly Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky: / So this wing'd hour is dropt to us from above."

Arnold Bax Vernon Handley Paul Corder Frederick Corder Basil Cameron Malcolm Sargent Bbc Philharmonic San Francisco Symphony 1537 1815 1930 1931 1932
BBC Philharmonic conducted by Vernon Handley I - Allegro moderato: 0:00 II - Lento moderato - Più mosso - Poco largemente - Tempo I: 15:37 III - Allegro - Allegro scherzando - Più largamente - Vivo: 28:25 Bax's fourth symphony was written between October 1930 and February 1931. Part of the first movement had been composed in Glencolumcille, but most of the work was written in Morar with his new partner Mary Gleaves, in the grandiosity of the coast of the Scottish Western Highlands. The work was dedicated to his comrade in the past times in Dresden, Paul Corder, a composer son of the composition teacher of Bax during his stay at the Royal Academy of Music, Frederick Corder. The composer assisted him during the writing of the score. It premiered in San Francisco in March 1932, performed by the San Francisco Symphony directed by Basil Cameron. Its first interpretation in England was in the month of December of 1932 in London, directed by Malcolm Sargent. The work requires a large orchestra, including an organ. The first movement is written in sonata form. The first theme is turbulent representing the enraged sea. The second theme appears in a way that symbolizes the movement of the waves in their going and coming back. After an especially subjective development, the themes are again used in the recapitulation, ending with a triumphant coda. The second movement presents its main theme in the form of an intermezzo. It shows a marine theme in the form of a small symphonic poem in an impressionistic way. After reaching a strong climax the music calms down and ends with great softness. The last movement begins with a fortissimo of mute trumpets. Then the sounds of a march appear. A quiet interlude uses it to present a subtle orchestration. The final part consists of a brilliant march interrupted by another brief interlude. Finally the march appears with all its pagan splendor, with the support of the organ in its final stages. Bax admitted a programmatic relationship in this symphony. The principle of it represents the sea enraged at high tide on a sunny day. In the second, its marine theme seems quite evident.
