# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Taylor, Franklin

​TAYLOR, Franklin, a well-known pianoforte-player and teacher in London, born at Birmingham, Feb. 5, 1843, began music at a very early age; learned the pianoforte under Chas. Flavell, and the organ under T. Bedsmore, organist of Lichfield Cathedral, where at the age of 11 he was able to take the service. In 1859 he went to Leipzig and studied in the Conservatorium with Sullivan, J. F. Barnett, etc., under Plaidy and Moscheles for pianoforte, and Hauptmann, Richter, and Papperitz for theory. He left in 1861 and made some stay in Paris, where he had lessons from Mme. Schumann, and was in close intercourse with Heller, Schulhoff, Mme. Viardot, etc. In 1862 he returned to England, settled permanently in London, and began teaching, and playing at the Crystal Palace (Feb. 18, 1865, etc.), the Monday Popular Concerts (Jan. 15, 66, etc.), as well as at the Liverpool Philharmonic, Birmingham Chamber Concerts, and elsewhere. At the same time he was organist successively of Twickenham Parish Church, and St. Michael's, Chester Square. In 1876 he joined the National Training School as teacher, and in 1882 the Royal College of Music as Professor of the Pianoforte. He is President of the Academy for the higher development of pianoforte-playing.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Taverner, John

​TAVERNER, John, was organist of Boston, Lincolnshire, and afterwards (about 1530), of Cardinal (now Christ Church) College, Oxford. Being associated with John Frith and other favourers of the Reformation, he was imprisoned upon suspicion of having concealed some (so-called) heretical books, but, by the favour of Wolsey, was released. His compositions consist of masses and motets, many of which are extant in MS. in the Music School and Christ Church, Oxford, the British Museum, and elsewhere. Hawkins printed a 3-part motet by him, 'O splendor gloriæ,' and Burney a 5-part motet, 'Dum transisset Sabbatum.' Morley includes him among the eminent musicians of his time. He died at Boston and was buried there.
[ W. H. H. ]
* ↑ 17 motets for 3, 4, 5, 6 voices.
* ↑ Among the most interesting are parts of a Mass for 6 voices, 'Gloria tibi, Trinitas,' copied by Dr. Burney, Add. MS. 11,587.
* ↑ This is noted in the Christ Church Catalogue as 'partly by Tye.'

# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Best (Richard)

​BEST (RICHARD), bookseller in London; Gray's Inn, Holborn, 1640-53. Took up his freedom March 30th, 1640. [Arber, iii. 688.] He dealt chiefly in political pamphlets and law books, but amongst them is found Jo. Tatham's Fancies Theatre, 1640.
# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Biard (John)

​BIARD (JOHN), bookseller (?) in London, 1643. This name occurs in the imprint to a political squib, printed without date, but probably in 1643, A Brief Dialogue between Zelotophit … and Superstition … London. Printed for John Biard. [E. 140 (5).]
# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Berriman (Thomas)

​BERRIMAN (THOMAS), bookseller (?) in London; Great St. Bartholomews, 1642. Exceeding Joyfull Newes from the Earl of Bedford, 1642 [E. 113 (17)] has the imprint, "London printed, for Thomas Berriman dwelling in Great St. Bartholomew, August 23, 1642."
# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Bilcliffe (Joseph)

​BILCLIFFE (JOSEPH), bookseller in London; Great Piazza, Covent Garden, 1661-63. Mentioned in "Mercurius Publicus" for April, 1661, as agent for certain "lozenges." He was also an agent for the receipt of letters for the Postmaster-General, but from a notice that appears in Mercurius Publicus of June 18th, 1663, he seems to have abused his trust.
# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Bill (John), the first

​BILL (JOHN), the First, Assigns of (1630-60). In his will, proved on May 12th, 1630, John Bill made especial mention of James Burrage, and desired him to continue the same employment in the printing office he then had. He also mentions a William Garrett. But there is no evidence that these were the assigns referred to. One of his executors was Martin Lucas, who, with Robert Barker, was fined £300 for leaving the word "not" out of the seventh commandment in the edition of the Bible printed in 1632, but Lucas was not a printer. In all probability the real printers and assigns were Miles Fletcher, John Haviland, and Robert Young, who controlled so many of the London printing houses at that time.

​BELLINGER (JOHN), bookseller in London; Cliffords Inn Lane in Fleet Street, 1642-78. Son of William Bellinger, citizen and girdler of London; apprenticed on August 24th, 1642, to Humphrey Tuckey, q.v., for eight years. [Stationers' Register of Apprenticeships.]
# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Best (John)

​BEST (JOHN), printer in London; Three Crowns, Giltspur Street, 1660-65. A printer of broadsides, ballads, and popular literature. In 1664 he printed for William Crook The History of the Life and Martyrdom of St. George … by Thomas Lowick, gent; Geo. Swinnock's Christian-Man's-Calling, 1663-65, and a broadside, The King's Majestys Love to London [London's modest answer]. [B.M. C. 20 f. 2 (60).]
# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Benington (Edward)

​BENINGTON (EDWARD), bookseller (?) at Oxford, 1647. A pamphlet entitled: A Gallant speech spoken by His Highness James Duke of York [E. 399 (37)] has the imprint, "Printed at Oxford for Edward Benington, for the publike use of Great Brittain, Anno 1647." This appears to be one of the pamphlets printed by John Harris, q.v. and to which he added names that cannot be identified as stationers. The Thomason copy of this pamphlet is apparently incomplete and mis-bound with a portion of another.
# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Benson (John)

​BENSON (JOHN), bookseller in London, (1) St. Dunstan's Churchyard, Fleet Street, 1641; (2) Chancery Lane. 1635-66/7 . Was chiefly a publisher of ballads and broadsides. In 1647 he was associated with John Saywell, q.v., in the publication of Francis Quarles' Hosanna, or Divine poems on the Passion of Christ, which was entered on May 29th, 1647. [Stat. Reg., Liber F, p. 95.] In 1651 he began to issue music books in partnership with John Playford, q.v. He died on January 23rd, 1666/7. [Smyth's Obituary, p. 73.]
# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Bentley (William)

​BENTLEY (WILLIAM), printer in London; Finsbury, 1646-56. This printer is first heard of in 1646, when the Westminster Assembly of Divines proposed the issue of a new and cheap edition of the Bible. As no printer in London except Bentley would undertake the work, it was given to him, whereupon the Company of Stationers immediately issued an order that "no journeyman printer of the company who should work at the printing house in Finsbury should ever have any gift or pension whatsoever from the company." In the Act of 1649, and that of 1652, this printing house was specially mentioned as being exempt from their provisions, but, nevertheless, Bentley met with strong opposition from Hills and Field, who claimed the exclusive right of Bible printing as successors to Robert Barker and his assigns. In November, 1656, Bentley printed a broadside entitled The Case of William Bentley printer at Finsbury … touching his right to the printing of Bibles and Psalms [B.M. 669, f. 20 (24)], in which he undertook ​to furnish octavo Bibles with marginal notes better printed and corrected than any other edition at two shillings per volume as against the official price of 4s. 6d. He further stated that he had already finished five several editions. Two of these, dated 1646 and 1648, are amongst those in the collection of the British and Foreign Bible Society. In 1659 William Kilburne wrote a pamphlet entitled Dangerous errors in several late printed Bibles, which was printed at the Finsbury press, and was clearly written as a puff. See Field (John).

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Triébert, Charles

​TRIÉBERT, Charles Louis, French oboist, son of a wind-instrument maker, born in Paris Oct. 31, 1810. He was well educated at the Conservatoire, and took the first oboe prize in Vogt's class in 1829. He had an excellent tone, great execution, and good style, and is still remembered at the Théâtre des Italiens, and the Société des Concerts. Although much occupied with instrument-making, he carried on his artistic cultivation with earnestness, and composed much for the oboe—original pieces, arrangements of operatic airs, and (in conjunction with M. Jancourt) fantaisies-concertantes for oboe and bassoon. At the Paris Exhibition of 1855 Triébert obtained a medal for his adaptation of Boehm's contrivances to the oboe, and for improved bassoons. This skilled manufacturer and eminent artist succeeded Verroust as professor of the oboe at the Conservatoire in April 1863, and retained the post till his death, July 18, 1867. His brother Frédéric (died in Paris March 1878, aged 65) was his partner, and showed considerable inventive genius. He constructed bassoons after Boehm's system, a specimen of which may be seen in the Museum of the Conservatoire. Frédéric Triébert was devoted to his art, and conversed on it with much learning and intelligence. He left a son, also named Frédéric, who is one of the best oboists of the French school.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Trois Couleurs, Les

​TROIS COULEURS, LES, is the title of one of the most popular of the political songs written after the French Revolution of 1830, celebrating the fall of the white flag and the return of the tricolor. It rivalled in popularity the Parisienne, and at one time, even the Marseillaise itself. It was written in one night by Adolphe Vogel, grandson of the author of 'Démophon,' who was born at Lille in 1805, and had just begun his studies at the Paris Conservatoire. The author, who is still living, was then 25 years of age, and 'Les Trois Couleurs,' together with the song 'L'Ange déchu,' have been the greatest successes of his career. The day after it was written all Paris was singing
Liberté sainte, après trente ans d'absence Reviens, reviens, leur trône est renversé. Ils ont voulu trop asservir la France, Et dans leur main le sceptre s'est brisé. Tu reverras cette noble bannière, Qu'en cent climats portaient tes fils vainqueurs; Ils ont enfin secoué la poussière Qui ternissait sea brillantes couleurs.

​TRITONE. The interval of the augmented fourth, consisting of three whole tones, whence the name is derived. [See Mi contra Fa.]
# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Trochee

​TROCHEE (Lat. Trochæus Chorius). A metrical foot, consisting of a long syllable followed by a short one—the exact opposite of the Iambus:—
'Trochee trips from long to short.'
Trochaic Metres are very common, both in Hymnody and Lyric Poetry; and, in both, a pleasing variety is sometimes produced by the occasional substitution of a Trochee for a Spondee, an Iambus, or even a Pyrrhic foot. A charming instance of the employment of Trochaic Rhythm, both in Music and Poetry, will be found in the Melody and Verses of Dowland's air, 'Now, oh, now, I needs must part,' the rhythmic Ictus of the Poetry being, of course, dependent upon Accent, and not upon Quantity.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Trompette, La

​TROMPETTE, LA. A musical institution in Paris, for the performance of chamber music, ​founded by M. Emile Lemoine in Jan. 1861, and now (1884) holding its meetings at 84 Rue de Grenelle-St. Germain. In some respects it differs from all other institutions of similar object. Having sprung from the strictly private meetings of its founder and a handful of friends, then students of the École Polytechnique, it retains the traces of its original domestic character. M. Lemoine is careful to announce that he is not a manager or director, but a host; by a pleasant but transparent fiction the audience are not subscribers (though the amount they pay is fixed, and they are constantly reminded of it); they are the friends of the host, and are invited to réunions at his house. The communications between M. Lemoine and his friends, in the programmes, are all couched in the tone, often almost a brusque one, of personal intimacy.—As Mr. Ella adopted for the motto of the late 'Musical Union' the words 'Il più gran ommaggio alla musica sta nel silenzio,' so M. Lemoine's most frequent and earnest injunctions are directed towards silence during the performances. The name of 'Trompette' arose from a phrase of the École Polytechnique, and the flavour of that famous school is maintained in the 'heure militaire'—military time—which is observed in the hour of commencement.
The meetings began, as already said, in a room at the École. As the number of invitations increased, the locale was changed, until it arrived at its present one, where the audience often reaches 1000. The number of concerts appears to vary from fifteen to twenty, on alternate Fridays and Saturdays, from the beginning of the year onwards. The hour of meeting is 8.30 p.m. The amount of annual contribution invited from each guest is 35 francs. The 'Quatuor de la Trompette' consists of MM. Marsick, Rémy, Van Waefelghem, and Delsart, with solo singers and players. We give one of the programmes of 1882 as a specimen:—
| Quartet, No. 5 (A major) | Beethoven. |
| Air and Gavotte for Cello | Bach. |
| a. Polonaise in B | Chopin. |
| b. Gavotte in G minor | Handel. |
| Trio, No. 2, in F | Schumann. |
| 'A la bien aimée,' op. 98 | Beethoven. |
