# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Weyrauch, August von

​WEYRAUCH, August Heinrich von. A composer whose name must be mentioned because he is the author of a song 'Adieu,' or 'Lebe wohl,' often attributed to Schubert, and at one time very much sung. It was published by the author in 1824, under his own name, with the title of 'Nach Osten,' to words by Wetzel. Its attribution to Schubert is due to Paris, where it was published about 1840 as 'Adieu! Paroles françaises de M. Bélanger,' etc. A transcription of it as Schubert's by Döhler (op. 45, no. 3), appeared in Germany in 1843, and lastly it was published in Schubert's name by Schlesinger of Berlin as a song with German text, in 1845. Weyrauch is not mentioned in any Dictionary, nor even in Whistling's 'Handbuch,' and the above information is taken from Nottebohm's Thematic Catalogue of Schubert, p. 254.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/White, Maude

​WHITE, Maude Valérie, born of English parents at Dieppe, June 23, 1855. After acquiring the rudiments of harmony and composition from W. S. Rockstro and Oliver May, she entered the Royal Academy of Music in Oct. 1876, and studied composition under Sir G. A. Macfarren. In Feb. 1879 she was elected to the Mendelssohn Scholarship, which she held for two years, studying the while under Macfarren and F. Davenport. In April 1881 ill-health compelled her to give up the scholarship and reside for a time in South America. Previously, however, to her departure, a portion of a Mass of hers was performed at a Royal Academy Students' Orchestral Concert. In the winter of 1883 she completed her musical studies in Vienna, since which she has resided in London.
It is as a song-writer that Miss White is known; her songs are often graceful, melodious, well-written, and well-adapted to the voice. Among the most popular of them are 'Absent yet Present,' 'The devout lover,' 'Ye Cupids,' and 'When passion's trance.' Her best songs are to words by Herrick and Shelley. For instance, for 'To Blossoms,' 'To Daffodils,' 'To Electra,' 'To Music, to becalm his fever,' she has written pure, quaint, and measured music in thorough accord with Herrick's delicate but somewhat archaic turns of thought and language. But a song of greater scope and merit than any of these is to Shelley's words, 'My soul is an enchanted boat,' from 'Prometheus Unbound.' Here she has completely caught the spirit of Shelley's beautiful song, and has proved herself to be an adequate interpreter of a most exquisite lyric; and it is not too much to say that the song is one of the best in our language. And worthy of all praise is her thorough appreciation of the importance of the words of songs, an appreciation attested alike by the excellence of the poetry she sets to music, and by her own careful attention to the metre and accents of the verse.
Of Miss White's German and French songs we may mention Heine's 'Wenn ich in deine Augen seh,' and 'Im wunderschönen Monat Mai,' and Victor Hugo's 'Chantez, chantez, jeune Inspirée,' and 'Heureux qui peut aimer,' also a fine setting of Schiller's 'Ich habe gelebt und geliebet,' for soprano and orchestra.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Westrop, Henry

​WESTROP, Henry John, born July 22, 1812, at Lavenham, Suffolk; made his first appearance at 13, at the Sudbury Theatre as pianist, violinist and singer. He afterwards became organist at St. Stephen's, Norwich; in 1831 at Little Stanmore; 1832, at Fitzroy Chapel, and April 3, 1834, at St Edmund, Lombard Street, which he held till his death. He at one time played the violin at the Royal Italian Opera and the Philharmonic Society, of which he was a member. Westrop's abilities as a composer were greater than his reception by musicians and the public would imply. His ​compositions include Quartets for strings and for piano and strings (Purday, and Augener); Duo Concertante, op. 6, for piano and flute (Wessel); Sonata for piano and violin (Stanley Lucas); a PF. pieces, 'Greeting and Parting' (Cocks): in MS. 2 PF. Quintets in C minor and E♭, produced by the Society of British Musicians; also an opera, 'The Maid of Bremen,' libretto by Fitzball, written for Pyne and Harrison. He died of paralysis, Sept. 23, 1879. His daughter

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Garcin, Jules

​GARCIN, Jules Auguste(real name Salomon), violinist and conductor, born at Bourges, July 11, 1830. He came of a family of artists, and was cousin to the famous actress Rose Chéri, their maternal grandfather, Joseph Garcin, being director of a travelling company which performed opéra comique in the central and southern provinces of France for nearly twenty years with great success. At the age of thirteen Garcin entered the Paris Conservatoire, where he studied the violin under Clavel and Alard; he gained the first prize in 1853, and in 1856 became a member of the opera orchestra, and after a competitive examination was appointed (1871) first solo violin and third conductor. In 1878 he was also appointed second conductor at the concerts of the Universal Exhibition. Since 1860 he has been a member of the orchestra of the Concerts du Conservatoire, first as solo violin, and then as second conductor in place of Altès (1881), who had become first conductor at the opera at the end of 1879. At that time the first conductor of the Société des Concerts was Deldevez, who had replaced Hainl in 1872, not after his death in 1873. [See Hainl, Deldevez, Concert Spirituel, in vol. i. and Altès, vol. iv. p.521b.] In 1885, Deldevez having retired on account of his health, Garcin was elected conductor of the Socété des Concerts with a majority of 26 votes over Guiraud.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Gardoni, Italo

From volume 1 of the work.
​GARDONI, Italo, born at Parma late in 1821, studied singing under De' Cesari. He made his début at Viadana in 1840 in 'Roberto Devereux.' In the same year he was engaged by Ronzani, with whom he went to Turin and Berlin, where he sang the rôle of Rodrigo, with Rubini as Otello. Rubini took a great fancy for the young artist, and predicted for him a brilliant career. Gardoni sang during two seasons at Milan, and afterwards at Brescia. Thence he went to Vienna, and sang, in company with Viardot, Alboni, and Tadolini, in the 'Barbiere,' 'Linda,' etc. In 1844–5 he appeared at the Académie Royale, creating the tenor parts in 'Marie Stuart,' 'L'Ame en peine,' etc. In Paris Gardoni remained for three years, singing the principal rôles in the 'Favorite,' 'Robert le Diablo,' 'Charles Six,' etc. In 1847 he went to the Théâtre des Italiens, and in the same spring made his first appearance at Her Majesty's Theatre, and 'by his charm of person and of voice (somewhat slight though the latter has proved) did more to reconcile the public to the loss of Signor Mario than could have been expected. A word is his due—as the due of a real artist, who has finished every phrase that he has sung, and has pointed every word that he has said. There has always been the real Italian elegance—and that more universal elegance which belongs to no country in Signor Gardoni' (Chorley). Here he created the tenor rôle in Verdi's 'Masnadieri.' Since then, with the exception of a few seasons spent at St. Petersburg, Madrid, Amsterdam, and Rome, Gardoni has come every spring to London, and returned to Paris (Italiens) for the winter.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Garlandia, Johannes de

​GARLANDIA, Johannes de. The works on music which appeared under this name were formerly ascribed to a Gerlandus who, owing to some confusion of dates, was said to have flourished in 1041, but who was afterwards identified with the mathematician Gerlandus, canon of the abbey of St. Paul at Besançon in the middle of the 12th century. It appears, however, more probable that the writer on music, Johannes de Garlandia, was identical with the grammarian and poet of that name who flourished nearly a century later. Of the life of this latter we gather several particulars from his great work 'De triumphis Ecclesiæ' (finished in 1252), of which the British Museum possesses an almost contemporary copy (Claudius A. X.), which has been printed by Mr. Thomas Wright. Born in England late in the 12th century, Johannes de Garlandia studied first at Oxford, and afterwards at Paris. Here he opened a school in the Clos de Garlande, since known as the Rue Gallande, from which he is supposed to have derived his name de Garlandia, or, as one early writer spells it, de Gallandia. It was probably about this time that he wrote his treatise on music. In 1218 we find him present at the siege of Toulouse, apparently himself taking part in the crusade against the Albigenses. It was to this place also that he was invited in 1229 to assist in the formation of the newly-founded University; and here he remained till 1232, when he and his colleagues were forced to leave owing to the persecution to which they were subjected at the hands of the Dominicans and others. They escaped after many dangers to Paris, where John de Garlandia was still residing in 1245. Here no doubt were written most of his poems on historical and theological subjects, and his grammatical treatises. The titles of his musical works ​which have come down to us are two fragments, 'De fistulis' and De nolis,' printed by Gerbert from a MS. at Vienna;—'De musica mensurabili positio,' of which there are MSS. at Paris and Rome; in this work the author figures as a composer, giving, among many other examples of his own, one in double counterpoint; a treatise, 'De cantu piano,' to which he himself refers in the last-mentioned work; this may be the 'Introductio musice plane et etiam mensurabilis ' in the St. Dié MS.—Philip de Vitry refers to other works by de Garlandia, of whom he writes as 'quondam in studio Parisino expertissimum atque probatissimum.' The 'Optima introductio in contrapunctum pro rudibus,' contained in MSS. at Pisa and Einsiedeln, should perhaps be assigned to a Johannes de Garlandia of a rather later date; or, if the work of the same man, must have been written by him when at an advanced age. The same may be said of the extracts quoted by Handle and Hanboys. Most of the above works are printed by de Coussemaker.

From volume 1 of the work.
​GANZ. A musical family of Mayence.
1. Adolf, born Oct. 14, 1796, a violinist, studied harmony under Hollbusch; conductor at Mayence (1819), Capellmeister to the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt (1825); composed a melodrama, overtures, marches, Lieder, and choruses for men's voices.
2. His brother, Moritz, a cellist of the old school, born 1804 [App. p.645 "Sept 13, 1806"], was first cello under Adolph at Mayence, and (1826) in the royal band at Berlin, where he succeeded Duport and Romberg. In 1833 he visited Paris and London, returning to the latter in 37, when he and his brother Leopold played at the Philharmonic on May 1. In 1845 he led the violoncellos at the Beethoven Festival at Bonn. His tone is full and mellow, and his execution brilliant, though his style is of the old school. His compositions for his instrument are numerous, but few only have appeared in print. [App. p.645 "date of death, Jan. 22, 1868."]

​IRREANTUM. The name given by Lehi's colony to an arm of the Indian Ocean, on the eastern coast of Arabia. On its shore Nephi and his brethren built the ship that carried them to this continent. It was either the Persian Gulf or Gulf of Oman, the which does not clearly appear from the records. Nephi informs us that the meaning of the word Irreantum is many waters.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Heth, Land of

​HETH, LAND OF. A land of the Jaredites, apparently not far from Moron, the land they first occupied. When Jared, the son of king Omer, rebelled against his father, it is said that he came and dwelt in the land of Heth. This is the only time that this county is mentioned. (Ether 8:2.)

​HESHLON, PLAINS OF. After the defeat of Shared by Coriantumr, in the valley of Gilgal, the first named fled to the plains of Heshlon, (Ether 13:28), thither Coriantumr pursued him, and another battle was fought, in which Shared was victorious, and Coriantumr again retreated to the valley of Gilgal. It is only in connection with this war that these plains are mentioned, and there is nothing in the record of the inspired historian to point out their locality.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Heth (II)

​HETH. A Jaredite prince, who was, by the usurping dynasty, held in captivity all his days. He was the son of king Hearthom, who was deposed and kept a prisoner all his life. Heth's son, Aaron, was also held captive from the day of his birth to his death.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Himni

​HIMNI. One of the four sons of king Mosiah, and apparently the youngest, who went up to the land of Lehi-Nephi to minister among the Lamanites, (B. C. 91). With the rest of his brothers, he was faithful in the performance of the labors of this great mission, and with them he returned at its close to his home in Zarahemla. Of his individual labors, or in what particular lands he ministered, we have no account. After his return he still continued a zealous and devoted servant of the Lord; and in B. C. 75, when Alma, the high priest, took his brothers to the land of Antionum to preach to the Zoramites, we are told he left Himni with the church in Zarahemla. This is the last notice we have in the Book of Mormon of this God-fearing and virtuous prince.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Heth

​HETH. A cruel and vicious king of the Jaredites. He was the son of Com. His grandfather, Coriantum, was a righteous ruler, and the people prospered greatly during his reign; but in the days of Com the increase of wealth and prosperity was accompanied by an increase of wickedness, and the ​old secret plans and associations were revived. Heth became a leader in these things and rose in rebellion against his father, slew him with his own sword, and became king in his stead. The Lord then sent many prophets, who called upon the people to repent, declaring that if they did not, a terrible famine should come upon the land. The people, led and inspired by Heth, rejected the words of the prophets and cruelly persecuted them; some they cast out, some they threw into pits and left them to perish. Before long the rains from heaven ceased, and there was a great dearth over all the land; and poisonous serpents made their appearance and killed many people. These serpents also attacked the flocks of the Jaredites and drove them in vast bodies towards the southern continent. Many perished by the way, but some reached the land known to the Nephites as Zarahemla. Restrained by the power of God, the serpents stopped at the Isthmus of Panama, where they formed a cordon, preventing the Jaredites from further following their scattered flocks. The carcasses of the beasts which fell by the way were ravenously eaten by the famished people, until they had devoured them all. We can scarcely imagine the horrors that must have attended this famine, when the people consumed the poisoned flesh of the creatures thus killed. Disease in its most terrible form must have followed famine. Before long even this loathsome food was all consumed and the people rapidly perished. Then those who remained began to repent of their sins and call on the Lord; and when they had humbled themselves sufficiently, the Lord sent the long-needed rain and the remnants of the race began to revive. Soon there began to be fruit in the north country and the regions around about, and Shiz, the only survivor of the royal house, reigned over the few that were left; for Heth and all his household, except Shiz, had perished in the famine.
