# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Ritornello

From volume 3 of the work.
​RITORNELLO (Abbrev. Ritornel, Ritor.; Fr. Ritournelle). I. An Italian word, literally signifying, a little return, or repetition; but more frequently applied, in a conventional sense, (1) to a short Instrumental Melody, played between the Scenes of an Opera, or even during their action, either for the purpose of enforcing some particular dramatic effect, or of amusing the audience during the time occupied in the preparation of some elaborate 'Set-Scene'; or, (2) to the symphonies introduced between the vocal phrases of a Song, or Anthem.
1. The earliest known use of the term, in its first sense, is to be found in Peri's 'Euridice,' in connexion with a melody for 3 flutes, which, though called a 'Zinfonia' on its first appearance, is afterwards repeated under the title of 'Ritornello.' 'Euridice' was first printed at Florence in 1600, and at Venice in 1608. [For the Zinfonia, see vol. ii. of this Dictionary, p. 499.]
A similar use of the term occurs soon afterwards in Monteverde's 'Orfeo,' printed at Venice in 1609, and republished in 1615. In this work, the Overture—there called Toccata—is followed by a 'Ritornello' in 5 parts, the rhythmic form of which is immeasurably in advance of the age in which it was produced.
* At this mark, the two upper Parts cross, and remain Inverted, until the sign ⊕.
2. When Vocal Music with Instrumental Accompaniment became more extensively cultivated, the word was brought into common use, in its second sense, as applied to the Instrumental Symphonies of a Song, or other Composition for a Solo Voice. Ritornelli of this kind were freely used by Cavalli, Cesti, Carissimi, and many other Composers of the early Venetian Dramatic School, who imitated their manner. An example from Cavalli's 'Il Giasone,' will be found at page 503 of our second volume. Towards the close of the 17th century such instrumental interpolations became very common, in all styles and countries. For instance, in early editions of the Verse Anthems of Croft, Greene, and other English Composers, of the 17th and 18th centuries, we constantly find the words 'Ritornel.', 'Ritor.', or 'Rit.', printed over little Interludes, which, unknown in the more severe kind of Ecclesiastical Music, formed a marked feature in works of this particular School, frequently embodying some of its choicest scraps of Melody, as in Dr. Boyce's Anthem, 'The Heavens declare the glory of God':—
In later editions the term disappears, its place being supplied, in the same passages, by the words 'Organ,' or 'Sym.'; which last abbreviation is almost invariably found in old copies of Handel's Songs, and other similar Music, in which the Symphonies are interpolated, as often as opportunity permits, upon the line allotted to the Voice.

MORET Y PRENDERGAST, SEGISMUNDO (1838-1913), Spanish politician, was born at Cadiz June 2 1838. He was educated at the Central University, Madrid, and became professor of political economy, continuing at the same time his studies in jurisprudence. In 1863 he was elected Liberal deputy for Almaden and took part in the revolution of 1868, afterwards representing Ciudad Real in the Constituent Assembly of 1869 and becoming noted for his eloquence. He took office under Gen. Prim in 1870 first as Colonial Secretary and later as Finance Minister. He was for a few months in 1872 Spanish ambassador to Great Britain, and after resigning this post accepted the directorship of a large London bank. A year later he returned to Spain. He was again elected deputy for Ciudad Real in 1879, rallied to the monarchy in 1882, represented Orgaz from 1886 to 1890, was Minister for Foreign Affairs under Sagasta in 1885 and again in 1893-4, Minister of the Interior 1885-8, and Minister of Colonies 1897. In this capacity he advocated the grant of autonomy to Cuba and Porto Rico, and he was opposed to the war with America of 1898. He rose to be head of the Liberal party and became Prime Minister in 1905, but fell in 1906, though he was called back to office for an ephemeral spell of three days in that year and again in 1909 for a few months. Failing to keep together his unruly hosts he took refuge in the post of president of the Chamber, in which office he died at Madrid Jan. 28 1913.

Lovett) A First View of English and American Literature (1902), and edited The Complete Poetical Works of John Milton (1899, Cambridge ed.) and (with George Cabot Lodge and John Ellerton Lodge) The Poems of Trumbull Stickney (1905).

# A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Buchan, (Elspeth)

BUCHAN, (ELSPETH) Daughter of an Inn-keeper in the North of Scotland. Born 1738; died 1791.
At the age of twenty-one, was sent to Glasgow to get a place, and soon after married Robert Buchan, a workman in a Delft manufactory there. At the time of her marriage, Mrs. Buchan was of the episcopal persuasion; but her husband being a burgher seceder, she soon adopted his principles. She had been always a constant reader of the scriptures, and being of a visionary turn of mind, took many allegorical expressions in a strictly literal sense. In 1779, a great change took place in her opinions; she became the promulgator of many singular doctrines, and obtained many respectable, even clerical proselytes; among them, Mr. Whyte, of Troine: but, in 1790, the populace of that place broke all the windows of that gentleman's house, where the Buchanites, as they were then termed, were assembled; on which Mrs. Buchan and her converts, to the number of forty-nine, left the place; and after some peregrinations, settled at a farm house thirteen miles from Dumfries. They paid for every thing they received, always kept the bible about them, and conversed much about religion. Declaring the last day to be at hand; that none of their company should ever die, but soon hear the voice of the last trumpet, when all the wicked should be struck dead for a thousand years; but they should be caught up to meet our Saviour in the air, and ​return with him to possess the earth for that time; at the which, the grand enemy shall be loosed, and attack them; but be repulsed and conquered.
On adopting this persuasion, they neither married, nor considered themselves as bound by any earthly tie, or having any separate property. To live a holy life, to be careless of the morrow; and, if they work for others, to refuse wages, or any other consideration, doing it merely for the purpose of promulgating their opinions, were the principles of this harmless sect; which was soon greatly reduced in number.

BROOKE, (FRANCES) Daughter of a Clergyman of the Name of Moore, Wife of the Rev. John Brooke Rector of Colney, in Norfolk, of St. Augustin, at Norwich, and Chaplain to the Garrison of Quebec. Died at the House of her Son, at Sleaford, 1789, five Days after her Husband of a spasmodic Complaint.
As remarkable for her gentleness and suavity of manners as for her literary talents. Her first publication was. The Old Maid, a periodical work, begun Nov. 1755, and continued every Saturday, till July 1756; since collected in one volume 12mo. In the same year she published Virginia, a Tragedy, with odes, pastorals, and translations. In 1763, appeared the novel of Lady Julia Mandeville, which, though its plan was often disapproved, as too melancholy, the execution was universally admired. In the same year, she published Letters from Juliet Lady Catesby, to Lady Henrietta Campley, translated from the French. She soon after went to Canada, with her husband, and saw those romantic scenes, so admirably exhibited in her next work—Emily Montague 4 vols. 1769. The next year came out, Memoirs of the Marquis de St. Forlaix, a translation from the French. On her return to England, she formed an intimacy with Mrs. Yates, and was persuaded by this lady to try her talents for tragedy again. Her first piece had been refused, by Garrick, and her second met with the same fate; which induced her to satirize him, in a novel, called The Excursion, 1777; but, afterwards lamented the severity she had shown. She translated Elements of the History of England, from the Abbe Millot, in four vols. 12mo. In January, 1781, the Siege of Sinope, a tragedy, was acted at Covent-garden. It ran five nights, but wanted force and originality. Her next ​and most popular theatrical performance was Rosina, acted at Covent-garden, 1782. Few pieces have been equally successful, or have maintained their attractions so long. Her last work was Marian, brought out in 1788, but with inferior success to the former.
