​SIVORI, Ernesto Camillo, a great violinist, born at Genoa, June 6, 1817 [App. p.794 "Oct. 25, 1815"], the day after his mother had heard Paganini for the first time. He began the violin at five, under Restano, and continued it under Costa, until about the year 1823, when Paganini met with him, and was so much struck with his talent, as not only to give him lessons, but to compose six sonatas and a concertino for violin, guitar, tenor, and cello, which they were accustomed to play together, Paganini taking the guitar. This was sufficient to launch the lad into Paganini's style. In 1827 he first reached Paris and then England; returning to Genoa, where he studied harmony seriously under Serra for several years without public demonstration. He next traversed Italy, beginning with Florence, in 1839; then in 1841 and 42 visited Prague, Vienna, Leipzig, Berlin, Frankfort, Brussels, St. Petersburg and Moscow. On Jan. 29, 1843, he made his rentré to Paris with a movement from a concerto of his own, his performance of which carried away his audience and procured him a special medal. He also made a vast impression in chamber-music. From Paris he went to London, and played his concerto at the Philharmonic, June 5, 1843, repeating it on the 19th (Spohr was in London at the same time); returned in 1844, when Mendelssohn, Joachim, Halle, Piatti, and Ernst were here also, and in 1845, when he assisted in the famous performances of Beethoven's quartets at Mr. Alsager's house [see Rousselot, ii. 182 b], played at the Musical Union on June 24, etc., etc. In 1846 he was again here; on June 27 introduced Mendelssohn's Concerto to England at the Philharmonic Concert, and was solo violin at Julien's 'Concerts d'Été.' He then left for America, in which he remained till 1850, travelling from the Northern States, by Mexico and Panama, to Valparaiso, Rio, Buenos Ayres, and Montevideo, and narrowly escaping death by yellow fever. In 1850 he returned to Genoa, and shortly after lost nearly all the money he had made in the new world by an imprudent speculation. In 1851 he was again in Great Britain, touring throughout the whole country. In 1862 he scored one more success in Paris in the B minor Concerto of Paganini. In 1864 he revisited London, and appeared at the Musical Union and elsewhere. Since then his life does not appear to have exhibited anything remarkable.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Sirmen, Maddalena

​SIRMEN, or SYRMEN, Maddalena Lombardini de, a distinguished violinist, was born at Venice in 1735, and educated at the Conservatorio dei Mendicanti there. On leaving this institution she went to study with Tartini at Padua. Many letters, still extant, from the great maestro to his girl-pupil, testify to the keen interest he took in her artistic career; one in particular contains long and detailed advice as to the direction her technical studies should take, valuable to any young violinist. The autograph of this letter is at Venice; a German translation of it may be found in J. A. Hiller's 'Lebensbeschreibungen beruhmter Musik-gelehrten' (translated by Burney).
For some time the young virtuoso, travelled about Italy with brilliant success, and was considered a worthy rival of Nardini. She eventually married Luigi de Sirmen, a violinist, and chapel-master at Bergamo. In 1761 they went to Paris, and played together a concerto for two violins at the 'Concert spirituel.' At these concerts, where Madame Sirmen was much admired, she produced several compositions of her own.
She next went to London, where her brilliant playing made a considerable sensation. It would seem, however, that she was unable to sustain the high position she took at first, for in 1774 we find her accepting an engagement to sing ​small parts in operas. In 1782 she was concert-singer at the Court of Saxony. She died towards the end of the century.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Sir Roger de Coverly

​SIR ROGER DE COVERLY, the only one of the numerous old English dances which has retained its popularity until the present day, is probably a tune of north-country origin. Mr. Chappell (Popular Music, vol. ii) says that he possesses a MS. version of it called 'Old Roger of Coverlay for evermore, a Lancashire Hornpipe,' and in 'The First and Second Division Violin' (in the British Museum Catalogue attributed to John Eccles, and dated 1705) another version of it is entitled 'Roger of Coverly the true Cheisere way.' Moreover the Calverley family, from one of whose ancestors the tune is said to derive its name, have been from time immemorial inhabitants of the Yorkshire village which bears their name. The editor of the Skene MS., on the strength of a MS. version dated 1706, claims the tune as Scotch, and says that it is well known north of the Tweed as 'The Maltman comes on Monday.' According to Dr. Rimbault (Notes and Queries, i. no. 8), the earliest printed Version of it occurs in Playford's 'Division-Violin' (1685). In 'The Dancing Master' it is first found at page 167 of the 9th edition, published in 1695, where the tune and directions for the dance are given exactly as follows:—
Roger of Coverly. Longways for as many as will.
The 1. man go below the 2. wo. then round, and so below the 2. man into his own place; then the 1. wo. go below the 2. man, then round him, and so below the 2. wo. into her own place. The 1. cu. [first couple] cross over below the 2. cu. and take hands and turn round twice, then lead up through and cast off into the 2. cu. place.
[ W. B. S. ]
* ↑ Or more correctly 'Roger of Coverly.' The prefix 'Sir' is not found until after Steele and Addison had used the name in the Spectator.

This officer entered the Royal Naval College 27 Jan. 1810; and embarked, 3 May, 1812, as Midshipman, on board the Ganymede 26, Capt. John Brett Purvis, under whom he appears to have been employed until Sept. 1814 on the coast of Spain, where he frequently came into action with the enemy and saw much active boat-service. During the next four years we find him successively joining the Bonne Citoyenne 20, Capt. Augustus Wm. Jas. Clifford, Astraea 36, Capt. Edw. Kittoe, Furieuse 36, Capt. Wm. Mounsey, Challenger 16, Capt. Hen. Forbes, Falmouth 20, Capt. Robt. Worgan Geo. Festing, Phaeton 46, Capt. Fras. Stanfell, and Royal Sovereign and Royal George yachts, Capts. Sir Edw. W. C. R.

​GREEN. (Lieutenant, 1809.)
John Green served as Midshipman on board the Courageux 74, Capt. Sam. Hood, in the expedition of Aug. 1800 to Ferrol; and, in July, 1801, having accompanied the same officer into the Venerable 74, was next present in Sir Jas. Saumarez’ actions off Algeciras and Cadiz. He afterwards commanded a boat belonging to the Eclair at the cutting out of a vessel from under the enemy’s batteries at Martinique. He also saw a good deal of boat-service off St. Eustatius and on the Spanish Main; was in a boat of the Galatea 32, Capt. Geo. Sayer, at the taking of several armed vessels in the harbour of Barcelona in 1806; and, on 21 Jan. 1807, led, as Master’s Mate, the five boats of that frigate, carrying altogether 75 officers, seamen, and marines, the whole under command of Lieut. Wm. Coombe, at the boarding and capture, after a pursuit (part of the time under a vertical sun) of eight hours, a sharp contest of a quarter of an hour, two repulses, and a loss of 9 men killed and 22 (including himself twice) wounded, of the French national corvette Le Lynx, of 16 guns and 161 men, 14 of whom were slain and 20 wounded. For their zeal and gallantry in the consummation of this desperate exploit, Mr. Green and the other surviving officers were each presented with a sword by the Patriotic Society. During his continuance in the Galatea the subject of this sketch, who, previously to the latter event, had served in her boats at the capture, 12 Nov. 1806, of La Réunion schooner, of 10 guns, further witnessed the surrender of the Danish West India islands in Dec. 1807; and on one occasion, while in command of a tender, armed with a light carronade and 20 men, he captured a vessel of very superior force, after an action in which he was again wounded. He had the misfortune, however, to be soon taken prisoner by a national cutter of 14 guns. He ultimately attained the rank of Lieutenant by commission dated 1 1 Aug. 1809; and, on subsequently joining the Musquito, succeeded in capturing an armed vessel at the mouth of the river Oost. His last appointment appears to have been, on 20 Aug. 1826, to the Coast Blockade, in which he served for some time as Supernumerary-Lieutenant of the Hyperion 42, Capt. Wm. Jas. Mingaye.
Lieut. Green married, 22 May, 1827, Caroline, youngest daughter of the late Edw. Golding, Esq., of Maiden Eligh, co. Berks, by whom he has issue. Agents – Collier and Snee.
