Passage 2:
Alonso Mudarra
Alonso Mudarra (c  1510 – April 1, 1580) was a Spanish composer of the Renaissance, and also played the vihuela, a guitar-shaped string instrument   He was an innovative composer of instrumental music as well as songs, and was the composer of the earliest surviving music for the guitar 

Biography
The place of his birth is not recorded, but he grew up in Guadalajara, and probably received his musical training there   He most likely went to Italy in 1529 with Charles V, in the company of the fourth Duke of the Infantado, Íñigo López de Mendoza, marqués de Santillana   When he returned to Spain he became a priest, receiving the post of canon at the cathedral in Seville in 1546, where he remained for the rest of his life   While at the cathedral, he directed all of the musical activities; many records remain of his musical activities there, which included hiring instrumentalists, buying and assembling a new organ, and working closely with composer Francisco Guerrero for various festivities   Mudarra died in Seville, and his sizable fortune was distributed to the poor of the city according to his will 

Mudarra wrote numerous pieces for the vihuela and the four-course guitar, all contained in the collection Tres libros de musica en cifras para vihuela ("Three books of music in numbers for vihuela"), which he published on December 7, 1546 in Seville   These three books contain the first music ever published for the four-course guitar, which was then a relatively new instrument  The second book is noteworthy in that it contains eight multi-movement works, all arranged by "tono", or mode 
Compositions represented in this publication include fantasias, variations (including a set on La Folia), tientos, pavanes and galliards, and songs  Modern listeners are probably most familiar with his Fantasia X, which has been a concert and recording mainstay for many years    The songs are in Latin, Spanish and Italian, and include romances, canciones (songs), villancicos, (popular songs) and sonetos (sonnets)   Another innovation was the use of different signs for different tempos:  slow, medium, and fast

Passage 4:
Peter Dodds McCormick
Peter Dodds McCormick (28 January 1833 – 30 October 1916) was an Australian schoolteacher and songwriter, known for composing the Australian national anthem, "Advance Australia Fair"  He published under the pseudonym Amicus, Latin for "friend" 

Early life
Peter Dodds McCormick was born to Peter McCormick and Janet (née Dodds) at Port Glasgow, Scotland in 1833 

Biography
Peter completed an apprenticeship as a joiner in Scotland before emigrating to Sydney (at that time the principal city of the British colony of New South Wales) on 21 February 1855  He initially worked as a joiner for "some years" McCormick spent most of his work life employed by the NSW Education Department  In 1863 he was appointed teacher-in charge at St Mary's National School  McCormick married Emily Boucher, a sewing teacher, on 16 July 1863, who died on 11 March 1866, aged 22  He remarried, to Emma Elizabeth Dening, on 22 December 1866  He also taught at the Presbyterian Denominational school in the Sydney suburb of Woolloomooloo in 1867  McCormick then moved to Dowling Plunkett Street Public School in 1878 where he remained until 1885 McCormick was heavily involved in the Scottish Presbyterian Church and was active in a number of community and benevolent organisations  He began his involvement with Sydney's St Stephen's Church as a stonemason, working on the now demolished Phillip Street Church (where Martin Place now stands)  The Rev Hugh Darling was so impressed with his singing on the job he asked him to join the choir  McCormick's musical ability led him to becoming the precentor of the Presbyterian Church of NSW, which gave him the opportunity to conduct very large massed choirs  He was also convenor of the Presbyterian Church Assembly's Committee on Psalmody Also a talented composer, he published around 30 patriotic and Scottish songs, some of which became very popular  Included in his collected works was "Advance Australia Fair", which was first performed in public by Andrew Fairfax at the St Andrew's Day concert of the Highland Society on 30 November 1878 "Advance Australia Fair" became quite a popular patriotic song  The Sydney Morning Herald described the music as bold and stirring, and the words "decidedly patriotic" – it was "likely to become a popular favourite"   Later under the pseudonym Amicus (which means 'friend' in Latin), he had the music and four verses published by W  H  Paling & Co  Ltd  The song quickly gained popularity and an amended version was sung by a choir of 10,000 at the inauguration of the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901  In 1907, the New South Wales Government awarded McCormick £100 for his patriotic composition which he registered for copyright in 1915 In a letter to R  B  Fuller Esq , dated 1 August 1913, McCormick described the circumstances that inspired him to pen the lyrics of his famous song:

One night I attended a great concert in the Exhibition Building, when all the National Anthems of the world were to be sung by a large choir with band accompaniment  This was very nicely done, but I felt very aggravated that there was not one note for Australia  On the way home in a bus, I concocted the first verse of my song & when I got home I set it to music  I first wrote it in the Tonic Sol-fa notation, then transcribed it into the Old Notation, & I tried it over on an instrument next morning, & found it correct  Strange to say there has not been a note of it altered since  Some alteration has been made in the wording, but the sense is the same  It seemed to me to be like an inspiration, & I wrote the words & music with the greatest ease 

Death
McCormick died in 1916, aged 83, at his home, Clydebank, in the Sydney suburb of Waverley and he was buried at Rookwood Cemetery  He had no children; he was survived by his second wife Emma  His obituary in the Sydney Morning Herald stated: "Mr  McCormick established a reputation with the patriotic song, Advance Australia Fair, which     has come to be recognised as something in the nature of an Australian National Anthem" The song was performed by massed bands at the Federal capital celebrations in Canberra in 1927   In 1984 it was formally declared as the Australian national anthem 
Passage 5:
Franz Schubert
Franz Peter Schubert (German: [fʁants ˈpeːtɐ ˈʃuːbɐt]; 31 January 1797 – 19 November 1828) was an Austrian composer of the late Classical and early Romantic eras  Despite his short life, Schubert left behind a vast oeuvre, including more than 600 secular vocal works (mainly lieder), seven complete symphonies, sacred music, operas, incidental music, and a large body of piano and chamber music  His major works include "Erlkönig" (D  328), the Piano Quintet in A major, D  667 (Trout Quintet), the Symphony No  8 in B minor, D  759 (Unfinished Symphony), the "Great" Symphony No  9 in C major, D  944, the String Quintet (D  956), the three last piano sonatas (D  958–960), the opera Fierrabras (D  796), the incidental music to the play Rosamunde (D  797), and the song cycles Die schöne Müllerin (D  795) and Winterreise (D  911) 
Born in the Himmelpfortgrund suburb of Vienna, Schubert showed uncommon gifts for music from an early age  His father gave him his first violin lessons and his elder brother gave him piano lessons, but Schubert soon exceeded their abilities  In 1808, at the age of eleven, he became a pupil at the Stadtkonvikt school, where he became acquainted with the orchestral music of Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven  He left the Stadtkonvikt at the end of 1813 and returned home to live with his father, where he began studying to become a schoolteacher  Despite this, he continued his studies in composition with Antonio Salieri and still composed prolifically  In 1821, Schubert was admitted to the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde as a performing member, which helped establish his name among the Viennese citizenry  He gave a concert of his works to critical acclaim in March 1828, the only time he did so in his career  He died eight months later at the age of 31, the cause officially attributed to typhoid fever, but believed by some historians to be syphilis 
Appreciation of Schubert's music while he was alive was limited to a relatively small circle of admirers in Vienna, but interest in his work increased greatly in the decades following his death  Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms and other 19th-century composers discovered and championed his works  Today, Schubert is ranked among the greatest composers in the history of Western classical music and his work continues to be admired and widely performed 

Biography
Early life and education
Franz Peter Schubert was born in Himmelpfortgrund (now a part of Alsergrund), Vienna, Archduchy of Austria, on 31 January 1797, and baptized in the Catholic Church the following day  He was the twelfth child of Franz Theodor Florian Schubert (1763–1830) and Maria Elisabeth Katharina Vietz (1756–1812)  Schubert's immediate ancestors came originally from the province of Zuckmantel in Austrian Silesia  His father, the son of a Moravian peasant, was a well-known parish schoolmaster, and his school in Lichtental (in Vienna's ninth district) had numerous students in attendance  He came to Vienna from Zukmantel in 1784 and was appointed schoolmaster two years later  His mother was the daughter of a Silesian master locksmith and had been a housemaid for a Viennese family before marriage  Of Franz Theodor and Elisabeth's fourteen children (one of them illegitimate, born in 1783), nine died in infancy 

At the age of five, Schubert began to receive regular lessons from his father, and a year later he was enrolled at his father's school  Although it is not known exactly when he received his first musical instruction, he was given piano lessons by his brother Ignaz, but they lasted for a very short time as Schubert excelled him within a few months  Ignaz later recalled:

I was amazed when Franz told me, a few months after we began, that he had no need of any further instruction from me, and that for the future he would make his own way  And in truth his progress in a short period was so great that I was forced to acknowledge in him a master who had completely distanced and outstripped me, and whom I despaired of overtaking 
His father gave him his first violin lessons when he was eight years old, training him to the point where he could play easy duets proficiently  Soon after, Schubert was given his first lessons outside the family by Michael Holzer, organist and choirmaster of the local parish church in Lichtental  Holzer would often assure Schubert's father, with tears in his eyes, that he had never had such a pupil as Schubert, and the lessons may have largely consisted of conversations and expressions of admiration  Holzer gave the young Schubert instruction in piano and organ as well as in figured bass  According to Holzer, however, he did not give him any real instruction as Schubert would already know anything that he tried to teach him; rather, he looked upon Schubert with "astonishment and silence"  The boy seemed to gain more from an acquaintance with a friendly apprentice joiner who took him to a neighbouring pianoforte warehouse where Schubert could practise on better instruments  He also played viola in the family string quartet, with his brothers Ferdinand and Ignaz on first and second violin and his father on the cello  Schubert wrote his earliest string quartets for this ensemble Young Schubert first came to the attention of Antonio Salieri, then Vienna's leading musical authority, in 1804, when his vocal talent was recognized  In November 1808, he became a pupil at the Stadtkonvikt (Imperial Seminary) through a choir scholarship  At the Stadtkonvikt, he was introduced to the overtures and symphonies of Mozart, the symphonies of Joseph Haydn and his younger brother Michael Haydn, and the overtures and symphonies of Beethoven, a composer for whom he developed admiration  His exposure to these and other works, combined with occasional visits to the opera, laid the foundation for a broader musical education  One important musical influence came from the songs by Johann Rudolf Zumsteeg, an important composer of lieder  The precocious young student "wanted to modernize" Zumsteeg's songs, as reported by Joseph von Spaun, Schubert's friend  Schubert's friendship with Spaun began at the Stadtkonvikt and lasted throughout his short life  In those early days, the financially well-off Spaun furnished the impoverished Schubert with much of his manuscript paper In the meantime, Schubert's talent began to show in his compositions; Salieri decided to start training him privately in music theory and composition  According to Ferdinand, the boy's first composition for piano was a Fantasy for four hands; his first song, Klagegesang der Hagar, would be written a year later  Schubert was occasionally permitted to lead the Stadtkonvikt's orchestra, and it was the first orchestra he wrote for  He devoted much of the rest of his time at the Stadtkonvikt to composing chamber music, several songs, piano pieces and, more ambitiously, liturgical choral works in the form of a "Salve Regina" (D 27), a "Kyrie" (D 31), in addition to the unfinished "Octet for Winds" (D 72, said to commemorate the 1812 death of his mother), the cantata Wer ist groß? for male voices and orchestra (D 110, for his father's birthday in 1813), and his first symphony (D 82) 

Teacher at his father's school
At the end of 1813, Schubert left the Stadtkonvikt and returned home for teacher training at the St Anna Normal-hauptschule  In 1814, he entered his father's school as the teacher of the youngest pupils  For over two years, young Schubert endured severe drudgery  There were, however, compensatory interests even then: for example, Schubert continued to take private lessons in composition from Salieri, who gave him more actual technical training than any of his other teachers, before they parted ways in 1817 In 1814, Schubert met a young soprano named Therese Grob, daughter of a local silk manufacturer, and wrote several of his liturgical works (including a "Salve Regina" and a "Tantum Ergo") for her; she was also a soloist in the premiere of his Mass No  1 (D  105) in September 1814  Schubert wanted to marry her, but was hindered by the harsh marriage-consent law of 1815 requiring an aspiring bridegroom to show he had the means to support a family  In November 1816, after failing to gain a musical post in Laibach (now Ljubljana, Slovenia), Schubert sent Ms  Grob's brother Heinrich a collection of songs retained by the family into the twentieth century One of Schubert's most prolific years was 1815  He composed over 20,000 bars of music, more than half of which were for orchestra, including nine church works (despite his being an agnostic), a symphony, and about 140 Lieder  In that year, he was also introduced to Anselm Hüttenbrenner and Franz von Schober, who would become his lifelong friends  Another friend, Johann Mayrhofer, was introduced to him by Spaun in 1815 Throughout 1815, Schubert lived at home with his father  He continued to teach at the school and give private musical instruction, earning enough money for his basic needs, including clothing, manuscript paper, pens, and ink, but with little to no money left over for luxuries  Spaun was well aware that Schubert was discontented with his life at the schoolhouse, and was concerned for Schubert's development intellectually and musically  In May 1816, Spaun moved from his apartment in Landskrongasse (in the inner city) to a new home in the Landstraße suburb; one of the first things he did after he settled into the new home was to invite Schubert to spend a few days with him  This was probably Schubert's first visit away from home or school  Schubert's unhappiness during his years as a schoolteacher possibly showed early signs of depression, and it is virtually certain that Schubert suffered from cyclothymia throughout his life In 1989 the musicologist Maynard Solomon suggested that Schubert was erotically attracted to men, a thesis that has been heatedly debated  The musicologist and Schubert expert Rita Steblin has said that he was "chasing women"  The theory of Schubert's sexuality or "Schubert as Other" has continued to influence current scholarship  Biographer Lorraine Byrne Bodley is sceptical "   of Solomon’s "outing" of Schubert, saying this misunderstands the passionate "homosocial" friendships of 19th-century Europe "

Support from friends
Significant changes happened in 1816  Schober, a student and of good family and some means, invited Schubert to lodge with him at his mother's house  The proposal was particularly opportune, for Schubert had just made the unsuccessful application for the post of Kapellmeister at Laibach, and he had also decided not to resume teaching duties at his father's school  By the end of the year, he became a guest in Schober's lodgings  For a time, he attempted to increase the household resources by giving music lessons, but they were soon abandoned, and he devoted himself to composition  "I compose every morning, and when one piece is done, I begin another " During this year, he focused on orchestral and choral works, although he also continued to write Lieder  Much of this work was unpublished, but manuscripts and copies circulated among friends and admirers 
In early 1817, Schober introduced Schubert to Johann Michael Vogl, a prominent baritone twenty years Schubert's senior  Vogl, for whom Schubert went on to write a great many songs, became one of Schubert's main proponents in Viennese musical circles  Schubert also met Joseph Hüttenbrenner (brother of Anselm), who also played a role in promoting his music  These, and an increasing circle of friends and musicians, became responsible for promoting, collecting, and, after his death, preserving his work  Heinrich Anschütz wrote in his memoirs that Schubert was an active member of the so-called Unsinnsgesellschaft (Nonsenses Society), and various scholars agree with this 
In late 1817, Schubert's father gained a new position at a school in Rossau, not far from Lichtental  Schubert rejoined his father and reluctantly took up teaching duties there  In early 1818, he applied for membership in the prestigious Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, intending to gain admission as an accompanist, but also so that his music, especially the songs, could be performed in the evening concerts  He was rejected on the basis that he was "no amateur", although he had been employed as a schoolteacher at the time and there were professional musicians already among the society's membership  However, he began to gain more notice in the press, and the first public performance of a secular work, an overture performed in February 1818, received praise from the press in Vienna and abroad Schubert spent the summer of 1818 as a music teacher to the family of Count Johann Karl Esterházy at their château in Zseliz (now Želiezovce, Slovakia)  The pay was relatively good, and his duties teaching piano and singing to the two daughters were relatively light, allowing him to compose happily  Schubert may have written his Marche Militaire in D major (D  733 no  1) for Marie and Caroline, in addition to other piano duets  On his return from Zseliz, he took up residence with his friend Mayrhofer During the early 1820s, Schubert was part of a close-knit circle of artists and students who had social gatherings together that became known as Schubertiads  Many of them took place in Ignaz von Sonnleithner's large apartment in the Gundelhof (Brandstätte 5, Vienna)  The tight circle of friends with which Schubert surrounded himself was dealt a blow in early 1820  Schubert and four of his friends were arrested by the Austrian police, who (in the aftermath of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars) were on their guard against revolutionary activities and suspicious of any gathering of youth or students  One of Schubert's friends, Johann Senn, was put on trial, imprisoned for over a year, and then permanently forbidden to enter Vienna  The other four, including Schubert, were "severely reprimanded", in part for "inveighing against [officials] with insulting and opprobrious language"  While Schubert never saw Senn again, he did set some of his poems, Selige Welt (D  743) and Schwanengesang (D 744), to music  The incident may have played a role in a falling-out with Mayrhofer, with whom he was living at the time Schubert, who was only a little more than five feet tall, was nicknamed "Schwammerl" by his friends, which Gibbs describes as translating to "Tubby" or "Little Mushroom"  "Schwamm" is German (in the Austrian and Bavarian dialects) for mushroom; the ending "-erl" makes it a diminutive  Gibbs also claims he may have occasionally drunk to excess, noting that references to Schubert's heavy drinking "    come not only in later accounts, but also in documents dating from his lifetime "

Musical maturity
The compositions of 1819 and 1820 show a marked advance in development and maturity of style  The unfinished oratorio Lazarus (D  689) was begun in February; later followed, among some smaller works, by the hymn "Der 23  Psalm" (D  706), the octet "Gesang der Geister über den Wassern" (D  714), the Quartettsatz in C minor (D  703), and the Wanderer Fantasy in C major for piano (D  760)  In 1820, two of Schubert's operas were staged: Die Zwillingsbrüder (D  647) appeared at the Theater am Kärntnertor on 14 June, and Die Zauberharfe (D  644) appeared at the Theater an der Wien on 21 August  Hitherto, his larger compositions (apart from his masses) had been restricted to the amateur orchestra at the Gundelhof (Brandstätte 5, Vienna), a society which grew out of the quartet-parties at his home  Now he began to assume a more prominent position, addressing a wider public  Publishers, however, remained distant, with Anton Diabelli hesitantly agreeing to print some of his works on commission  The first seven opus numbers (all songs) appeared on these terms; then the commission ceased, and he began to receive parsimonious royalties  The situation improved somewhat in March 1821 when Vogl performed the song "Erlkönig" (D  328) at a concert that was extremely well received  That month, Schubert composed a Variation on a Waltz by Diabelli (D 718), being one of the fifty composers who contributed to the Vaterländischer Künstlerverein publication 

The production of the two operas turned Schubert's attention more firmly than ever in the direction of the stage, where, for a variety of reasons, he was almost completely unsuccessful  All in all, he embarked on twenty stage projects, each of them failures that were quickly forgotten  In 1822, Alfonso und Estrella was rejected, partly owing to its libretto (written by Schubert's friend Franz von Schober)  In 1823, Fierrabras (D 796) was rejected: Domenico Barbaia, impresario for the court theatres, largely lost interest in new German opera due to the popularity of Rossini and the Italian operatic style, and the failure of Carl Maria von Weber's Euryanthe  Die Verschworenen (The Conspirators, D 787) was prohibited by the censor (apparently because of its title), and Rosamunde, Fürstin von Zypern (D 797) was withdrawn after two nights, owing to the poor quality of the play for which Schubert had written incidental music Despite his operatic failures, Schubert's reputation was growing steadily on other fronts  In 1821, the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde finally accepted him as a performing member, and the number of performances of his music grew remarkably  These performances helped Schubert's reputation grow rapidly among the members of the Gesellschaft and established his name  Some of the members of the Gesellschaft, most notably Ignaz von Sonnleithner and his son Leopold von Sonnleithner, had a sizeable influence on the affairs of the society, and as a result of that and of Schubert's growing reputation, his works were included in three major concerts of the Gesellschaft in 1821  In April, one of his male-voice quartets was performed, and in November, his Overture in E minor (D  648) received its first public performance; at a different concert on the same day as the premiere of the Overture, his song Der Wanderer (D  489) was performed In 1822, Schubert made the acquaintance of both Weber and Beethoven, but little came of it in either case; however, Beethoven is said to have acknowledged the younger man's gifts on a few occasions  On his deathbed, Beethoven is said to have looked into some of the younger man's works and exclaimed: "Truly, the spark of divine genius resides in this Schubert!" Beethoven also reportedly predicted that Schubert "would make a great sensation in the world," and regretted that he had not been more familiar with him earlier; he wished to see his operas and works for piano, but his severe illness prevented him from doing so 

Last years and masterworks
Despite his preoccupation with the stage, and later with his official duties, Schubert wrote much music during these years  He completed the Mass in A-flat major, (D  678) in 1822, and later that year embarked suddenly on a work which more decisively than almost any other in those years showed his maturing personal vision, the Symphony in B minor, known as the Unfinished Symphony (D  759)  The reason he left it unfinished – after writing two movements and sketches some way into a third – continues to be discussed and written about, and it is also remarkable that he did not mention it to any of his friends, even though, as Brian Newbould notes, he must have felt thrilled by what he was achieving  In 1823, Schubert wrote his first large-scale song cycle, Die schöne Müllerin (D  795), setting poems by Wilhelm Müller  This series, together with the later cycle Winterreise (D  911, also setting texts of Müller in 1827) is widely considered one of the pinnacles of Lieder  He also composed the song Du bist die Ruh' (You are rest and peace, D  776) during this year  Also in that year, symptoms of syphilis first appeared In 1824, he wrote the Variations in E minor for flute and piano; Trockne Blumen, a song from the cycle Die schöne Müllerin; and several string quartets  He also wrote the Sonata in A minor for arpeggione and piano (D  821) at the time when there was a minor craze over that instrument  In the spring of that year, he wrote the Octet in F major (D  803), a sketch for a "Grand Symphony," and in the summer went back to Zseliz  There he became attracted to Hungarian musical idiom and wrote the Divertissement à la hongroise in G minor for piano duet (D  818) and the String Quartet in A minor Rosamunde (D  804)  It has been said that he held a hopeless passion for his pupil, the Countess Caroline Esterházy, but the only work that bears a dedication to her is his Fantasia in F minor for piano duet (D  940)  This dedication, however, can only be found in the first edition and not in Schubert's autograph  His friend Eduard von Bauernfeld penned the following verse, which appears to reference Schubert's unrequited sentiments:

The setbacks of previous years were compensated by the prosperity and happiness of 1825  Publication had been moving more rapidly, the stress of poverty was for a time lightened, and in the summer he had a pleasant holiday in Upper Austria where he was welcomed with enthusiasm  It was during this tour that he produced the seven-song cycle Fräulein am See, based on Walter Scott's The Lady of the Lake, and including "Ellens Gesang III" ("Hymn to the Virgin") (D  839, Op  52, No  6); the lyrics of Adam Storck's German translation of the Scott poem are now frequently replaced by the full text of the traditional Roman Catholic prayer Hail Mary (Ave Maria in Latin), but for which the Schubert melody is not an original setting  The original only opens with the greeting "Ave Maria", which also recurs only in the refrain  In 1825, Schubert also wrote the Piano Sonata in A minor (D 845, first published as op  42), and began the Symphony in C major (Great C major, D  944), which was completed the following year 

From 1826 to 1828, Schubert resided continuously in Vienna, except for a brief visit to Graz, Austria, in 1827  In 1826, he dedicated a symphony (D  944, that later came to be known as the Great C major) to the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde and received an honorarium in return  The String Quartet No  14 in D minor (D  810), with the variations on Death and the Maiden, was written during the winter of 1825–1826, and first played on 25 January 1826  Later in the year came the String Quartet No  15 in G major, (D 887, first published as op  161), the Rondo in B minor for violin and piano (D  895), Rondeau brillant, and the Piano Sonata in G major, (D 894, first published as Fantasie in G, op  78)  He also produced in 1826 three Shakespearian songs, of which "Ständchen" (D  889) and "An Sylvia" (D  891) were allegedly written on the same day, the former at a tavern where he broke his afternoon's walk, the latter on his return to his lodging in the evening The works of his last two years reveal a composer entering a new professional and compositional stage  Although parts of Schubert's personality were influenced by his friends, he nurtured an intensely personal dimension in solitude; it was out of this dimension that he wrote his greatest music  The death of Beethoven affected Schubert deeply, and may have motivated Schubert to reach new artistic peaks  In 1827, Schubert wrote the song cycle Winterreise (D  911), the Fantasy in C major for violin and piano (D  934, first published as op  post  159), the Impromptus for piano, and the two piano trios (the first in B-flat major (D  898), and the second in E-flat major, (D  929); in 1828 the cantata Mirjams Siegesgesang (Victory Song of Miriam, D 942) on a text by Franz Grillparzer, the Mass in E-flat major (D  950), the Tantum Ergo (D  962) in the same key, the String Quintet in C major (D  956), the second "Benedictus" to the Mass in C major (D  961), the three final piano sonatas (D  958, D  959, and D  960), and the collection 13 Lieder nach Gedichten von Rellstab und Heine for voice and piano, also known as Schwanengesang (Swan-song, D  957)  (This collection – which includes settings of words by Heinrich Heine, Ludwig Rellstab, and Johann Gabriel Seidl – is not a true song cycle like Die schöne Müllerin or Winterreise ) The Great C major symphony is dated 1828, but Schubert scholars believe that this symphony was largely written in 1825–1826 (being referred to while he was on holiday at Gastein in 1825—that work, once considered lost, is now generally seen as an early stage of his C major symphony) and was revised for prospective performance in 1828  The orchestra of the Gesellschaft reportedly read through the symphony at a rehearsal, but never scheduled a public performance of it  The reasons continue to be unknown, although the difficulty of the symphony is the possible explanation  In the last weeks of his life, he began to sketch three movements for a new Symphony in D major (D 936A); In this work, he anticipates Mahler's use of folksong-like harmonics and bare soundscapes  Schubert expressed the wish, were he to survive his final illness, to further develop his knowledge of harmony and counterpoint, and had actually made appointments for lessons with the counterpoint master Simon Sechter On 26 March 1828, the anniversary of Beethoven's death, Schubert gave, for the only time in his career, a public concert of his own works  The concert was a success popularly and financially, even though it would be overshadowed by Niccolò Paganini's first appearances in Vienna shortly after 

Final illness and death
In the midst of this creative activity, his health deteriorated  By the late 1820s, Schubert's health was failing and he confided to some friends that he feared that he was near death  In the late summer of 1828, he saw the physician Ernst Rinna, who may have confirmed Schubert's suspicions that he was ill beyond cure and likely to die soon  Some of his symptoms matched those of mercury poisoning (mercury was then a common treatment for syphilis, again suggesting that Schubert suffered from it)  At the beginning of November, he again fell ill, experiencing headaches, fever, swollen joints, and vomiting  He was generally unable to retain solid food and his condition worsened  Five days before Schubert's death, his friend the violinist Karl Holz and his string quartet visited to play for him  The last musical work he had wished to hear was Beethoven's String Quartet No  14 in C-sharp minor, Op  131; Holz commented: "The King of Harmony has sent the King of Song a friendly bidding to the crossing" Schubert died in Vienna, aged 31, on 19 November 1828, at the apartment of his brother Ferdinand  The cause of his death was officially diagnosed as typhoid fever, though other theories have been proposed, including the tertiary stage of syphilis  Although there are accounts by his friends that indirectly imply that he was syphilitic, the symptoms of his final illness do not correspond with tertiary syphilis  Six weeks before his death, he walked 42 miles in three days, ruling out musculoskeletal syphilis  In the month of his death, he composed his last work, "Der Hirt Auf Den Felsen", making neurosyphilis unlikely  Finally, meningo-vascular syphilis is unlikely because it presents a progressive stroke-like picture, and Schubert had no neurological manifestation until his final delirium, which started only two days before his death  This, and the fact that his final illness was characterized by gastrointestinal symptoms (namely vomiting), led Robert L  Rold to argue that his final illness was a gastrointestinal one, like salmonella or indeed typhus  Eva M  Cybulska goes further and says that Schubert's syphilis is a conjecture  His multi-system signs and symptoms, she says, could point at a number of different illness such as leukaemia, anaemia, or Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and that many tell-tale signs of syphilis — chancre, mucous plaques, rash on the thorax, pupil abnormality, dysgraphia — were absent  She argues that the syphilis diagnosis originated with Schubert's biographer Otto Deutsch in 1907, based on the aforementioned indirect references by his friends, and uncritically repeated ever since It was near the grave of Beethoven, whom he had admired all his life, that Schubert was buried at his own request, in the village cemetery of Währing on the edge of the Vienna Woods  A year earlier he had served as a torchbearer at Beethoven's funeral 
In 1872, a memorial to Franz Schubert was erected in Vienna's Stadtpark  In 1888, both Schubert's and Beethoven's graves were moved to the Zentralfriedhof where they can now be found next to those of Johann Strauss II and Johannes Brahms  Anton Bruckner was present at both exhumations, and he reached into both coffins and held the revered skulls in his hands  The cemetery in Währing was converted into a park in 1925, called the Schubert Park, and his former grave site was marked by a bust  His epitaph, written by his friend, the poet Franz Grillparzer, reads: Die Tonkunst begrub hier einen reichen Besitz, aber noch viel schönere Hoffnungen ("The art of music has here interred a precious treasure, but yet far fairer hopes") 

Music
Schubert was remarkably prolific, writing over 1,500 works in his short career  His compositional style progressed rapidly throughout his short life  The largest number of his compositions are songs for solo voice and piano (roughly 630)  Schubert also composed a considerable number of secular works for two or more voices, namely part songs, choruses and cantatas  He completed eight orchestral overtures and seven complete symphonies, in addition to fragments of six others  While he composed no concertos, he did write three concertante works for violin and orchestra  Schubert wrote a large body of music for solo piano, including eleven incontrovertibly completed sonatas and at least eleven more in varying states of completion, numerous miscellaneous works and many short dances, in addition to producing a large set of works for piano four hands  He also wrote over fifty chamber works, including some fragmentary works  Schubert's sacred output includes seven masses, one oratorio and one requiem, among other mass movements and numerous smaller compositions  He completed only eleven of his twenty stage works 

Style
In July 1947 the Austrian composer Ernst Krenek discussed Schubert's style, abashedly admitting that he had at first "shared the wide-spread opinion that Schubert was a lucky inventor of pleasing tunes     lacking the dramatic power and searching intelligence which distinguished such 'real' masters as J  S  Bach or Beethoven"  Krenek wrote that he reached a completely different assessment after a close study of Schubert's pieces at the urging of his friend and fellow composer Eduard Erdmann  Krenek pointed to the piano sonatas as giving "ample evidence that [Schubert] was much more than an easy-going tune-smith who did not know, and did not care, about the craft of composition " Each sonata then in print, according to Krenek, exhibited "a great wealth of technical finesse" and revealed Schubert as "far from satisfied with pouring his charming ideas into conventional moulds; on the contrary he was a thinking artist with a keen appetite for experimentation "

Instrumental music, stage works and church music
That "appetite for experimentation" manifests itself repeatedly in Schubert's output in a wide variety of forms and genres, including opera, liturgical music, chamber and solo piano music, and symphonic works  Perhaps most familiarly, his adventurousness is reflected in his notably original sense of modulation; for example, the second movement of the String Quintet (D  956), which is in E major, features a central section in the distant key of F minor  It also appears in unusual choices of instrumentation, as in the Sonata in A minor for arpeggione and piano (D  821), or the unconventional scoring of the Trout Quintet (D  667) for piano, violin, viola, cello, and double bass, whereas conventional piano quintets are scored for piano and string quartet 

Although Schubert was clearly influenced by the Classical sonata forms of Beethoven and Mozart, his formal structures and his developments tend to give the impression more of melodic development than of harmonic drama  This combination of Classical form and long-breathed Romantic melody sometimes lends them a discursive style: his Great C Major Symphony was described by Robert Schumann as running to "heavenly lengths" 

Lieder and art songs
It was in the genre of the Lied that Schubert made his most indelible mark  Leon Plantinga remarks that "in his more than six hundred Lieder he explored and expanded the potentialities of the genre, as no composer before him " Prior to Schubert's influence, Lieder tended toward a strophic, syllabic treatment of text, evoking the folksong qualities engendered by the stirrings of Romantic nationalism 

Among Schubert's treatments of the poetry of Goethe, his settings of "Gretchen am Spinnrade" (D  118) and "Der Erlkönig" (D  328) are particularly striking for their dramatic content, forward-looking uses of harmony, and use of eloquent pictorial keyboard figurations, such as the depiction of the spinning wheel and treadle in the piano in "Gretchen" and the furious and ceaseless gallop in "Erlkönig"  He composed music using the poems of myriad poets, with Goethe, Mayrhofer, and Schiller the most frequent, and others, including Heinrich Heine, Friedrich Rückert, and Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff  Of particular note are his two song cycles on the poems of Wilhelm Müller, Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise, which helped to establish the genre and its potential for musical, poetic, and almost operatic dramatic narrative  His last collection of songs, published in 1828 after his death, Schwanengesang, is also an innovative contribution to German Lieder literature, as it features poems by different poets, namely Ludwig Rellstab, Heine, and Johann Gabriel Seidl  The Wiener Theaterzeitung, writing about Winterreise at the time, commented that it was a work that "none can sing or hear without being deeply moved" Antonín Dvořák wrote in 1894 that Schubert, whom he considered one of the truly great composers, was clearly influential on shorter works, especially Lieder and shorter piano works: "The tendency of the romantic school has been toward short forms, and although Weber helped to show the way, to Schubert belongs the chief credit of originating the short models of piano forte pieces which the romantic school has preferably cultivated     Schubert created a new epoch with the Lied     All other songwriters have followed in his footsteps "

Publication – catalogue
When Schubert died he had around 100 opus numbers published, mainly songs, chamber music and smaller piano compositions  Publication of smaller pieces continued (including opus numbers up to 173 in the 1860s, 50 instalments with songs published by Diabelli and dozens of first publications Peters), but the manuscripts of many of the longer works, whose existence was not widely known, remained hidden in cabinets and file boxes of Schubert's family, friends, and publishers  Even some of Schubert's friends were unaware of the full scope of what he wrote, and for many years he was primarily recognized as the "prince of song", although there was recognition of some of his larger-scale efforts  In 1838 Robert Schumann, on a visit to Vienna, found the dusty manuscript of the C major Symphony (D  944) and took it back to Leipzig where it was performed by Felix Mendelssohn and celebrated in the Neue Zeitschrift  An important step towards the recovery of the neglected works was the journey to Vienna which the music historian George Grove and the composer Arthur Sullivan made in October 1867  The travellers unearthed the manuscripts of six of the symphonies, parts of the incidental music to Rosamunde, the Mass No  1 in F major (D  105), and the operas Des Teufels Lustschloss (D  84), Fernardo (D  220), Der vierjährige Posten (D  190), and Die Freunde von Salamanka (D  326), and several other unnamed works  With these discoveries, Grove and Sullivan were able to inform the public of the existence of these works; in addition, they were able to copy the fourth and sixth symphonies, the Rosamunde incidental music, and the overture to Die Freunde von Salamanka  This led to more widespread public interest in Schubert's work 

Complete editions
From 1884 to 1897, Breitkopf & Härtel published Franz Schubert's Works, a critical edition including a contribution made – among others – by Johannes Brahms, editor of the first series containing eight symphonies  The publication of the Neue Schubert-Ausgabe by Bärenreiter started in the second half of the 20th century 

Deutsch catalogue
Since relatively few of Schubert's works were published in his lifetime, only a small number of them have opus numbers assigned, and even in those cases, the sequence of the numbers does not give a good indication of the order of composition  Austrian musicologist Otto Erich Deutsch (1883–1967) is known for compiling the first comprehensive catalogue of Schubert's works  This was first published in English in 1951 (Schubert Thematic Catalogue) and subsequently revised for a new edition in German in 1978 (Franz Schubert: Thematisches Verzeichnis seiner Werke in chronologischer Folge – Franz Schubert: Thematic Catalogue of his Works in Chronological Order) 

Numbering issues
Confusion arose quite early over the numbering of Schubert's late symphonies  Schubert's last completed symphony, the Great C major D 944, was assigned the numbers 7, 8, 9 and 10, depending on publication  Similarly the Unfinished D 759 has been indicated with the numbers 7, 8, and 9 The order usually followed for these late symphonies by English-language sources is:

No  7: E major, D 729
No  8: B minor, D 759 Unfinished
No  9: C major, D 944 Great C major
No  10: D major, D 936AAn even broader confusion arose over the numbering of the piano sonatas, with numbering systems ranging from 15 to 23 sonatas 

Instruments
Among pianos Schubert had access to were a Benignus Seidner piano (now displayed at the Schubert Geburtshaus in Vienna) and an Anton Walter & Sohn piano (today in the collection of the Vienna Kunsthistorisches Museum)  Schubert was also familiar with instruments by Viennese piano builder Conrad Graf 

Recognition
A feeling of regret for the loss of potential masterpieces caused by Schubert's early death at age 31 was expressed in the epitaph on his large tombstone written by Grillparzer: "Here music has buried a treasure, but even fairer hopes " Some prominent musicians share a similar view, including the pianist Radu Lupu, who said: "[Schubert] is the composer for whom I am really most sorry that he died so young      Just before he died, when he wrote his beautiful two-cello String Quintet in C, he said very modestly that he was trying to learn a little more about counterpoint, and he was perfectly right  We'll never know in what direction he was going or would have gone " However, others have expressed disagreement with this early view  For instance, Robert Schumann said: "It is pointless to guess at what more [Schubert] might have achieved  He did enough; and let them be honoured who have striven and accomplished as he did", and the pianist András Schiff said that: "Schubert lived a very short life, but it was a very concentrated life  In 31 years, he lived more than other people would live in 100 years, and it is needless to speculate what could he have written had he lived another 50 years  It's irrelevant, just like with Mozart; these are the two natural geniuses of music "

The Wiener Schubertbund, one of Vienna's leading choral societies, was founded in 1863, whilst the Gründerzeit was taking place  The Schubertbund quickly became a rallying point for schoolteachers and other members of the Viennese middle class who felt increasingly embattled during the Gründerzeit and the aftermath of the Panic of 1873  In 1872, the dedication of the Schubert Denkmal, a gift to the city from Vienna's leading male chorus, the Wiener Männergesang-Verein, took place; the chorus performed at the event  The Denkmal was designed by Austrian sculptor Carl Kundmann and is located in Vienna's Stadtpark 
Schubert's chamber music continues to be popular  In a survey conducted by the ABC Classic FM radio station in 2008, Schubert's chamber works dominated the field, with the Trout Quintet ranked first, the String Quintet in C major ranked second, and the Notturno in E-flat major for piano trio ranked third  Furthermore, eight more of his chamber works were among the 100 ranked pieces: both piano trios, the String Quartet No  14 (Death and the Maiden), the String Quartet No  15, the Arpeggione Sonata, the Octet, the Fantasie in F minor for piano four-hands, and the Adagio and Rondo Concertante for piano quartet 
The New York Times' chief music critic Anthony Tommasini, who ranked Schubert as the fourth greatest composer, wrote of him:You have to love the guy, who died at 31, ill, impoverished and neglected except by a circle of friends who were in awe of his genius  For his hundreds of songs alone – including the haunting cycle Winterreise, which will never release its tenacious hold on singers and audiences – Schubert is central to our concert life    Schubert's first few symphonies may be works in progress  But the Unfinished and especially the Great C major Symphony are astonishing  The latter one paves the way for Bruckner and prefigures Mahler 

Tributes by other musicians
From the 1830s through the 1870s, Franz Liszt transcribed and arranged several of Schubert's works, particularly the songs  Liszt, who was a significant force in spreading Schubert's work after his death, said Schubert was "the most poetic musician who ever lived " Schubert's symphonies were of particular interest to Antonín Dvořák  Hector Berlioz and Anton Bruckner acknowledged the influence of the Great C Major Symphony  It was Robert Schumann who, having seen the manuscript of the Great C Major Symphony in Vienna in 1838, drew it to the attention of Mendelssohn, who led the first performance of the symphony, in a heavily abridged version, in Leipzig in 1839 In the 20th century, composers such as Richard Strauss, Anton Webern, Benjamin Britten, George Crumb, and Hans Zender championed or paid homage to Schubert in some of their works  Britten, an accomplished pianist, accompanied many of Schubert's Lieder and performed many piano solo and duet works  German electronic music group Kraftwerk has a track titled Franz Schubert on their 1977 album Trans-Europe Express 

Commemorations
In 1897, the 100th anniversary of Schubert's birth was marked in the musical world by festivals and performances dedicated to his music  In Vienna, there were ten days of concerts, and the Emperor Franz Joseph gave a speech recognising Schubert as the creator of the art song, and one of Austria's favourite sons Karlsruhe saw the first production of his opera Fierrabras In 1928, Schubert Week was held in Europe and the United States to mark the centenary of the composer's death  Works by Schubert were performed in churches, in concert halls, and on radio stations  A competition, with top prize money of $10,000 and sponsorship by the Columbia Phonograph Company, was held for "original symphonic works presented as an apotheosis of the lyrical genius of Schubert, and dedicated to his memory"  The winning entry was Kurt Atterberg's sixth symphony 

In film and television
Schubert has featured as a character in several films including Schubert's Dream of Spring (1931), Gently My Songs Entreat (1933), Serenade (1940), The Great Awakening (1941), It's Only Love (1947), Franz Schubert (1953), Das Dreimäderlhaus (1958), and Mit meinen heißen Tränen (1986)  Schubert's music has also been featured in numerous post-silent era films, including Walt Disney's Fantasia (1940), which features Ave Maria (D  839); and the biographical film Carrington (1995), which features the second movement of the String Quintet in C major (D  956), as well as the English version of The Adventures of Milo and Otis (1989), which features Serenade and Auf dem Wasser zu singen (D  774) 
Schubert's String Quartet No  15 in G is featured prominently in the Woody Allen film Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989)  The Piano Quintet in A major, D  667 (Trout Quintet) is featured in the 2011 film Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows by Guy Ritchie  The music of the String Quartet No  14 in D minor, "Death and the Maiden", is often used to accompany documentaries or films, notably the 1994 film of that name by Roman Polanski   The second movement from the Piano Trio No  2 in E-Flat Major, Op  100/D 929, was featured in Stanley Kubrick's 1975 film Barry Lyndon 
Schubert's life was covered in the documentary Franz Peter Schubert: The Greatest Love and the Greatest Sorrow by Christopher Nupen (1994), and in the documentary Schubert – The Wanderer by András Schiff and Mischa Scorer (1997), both produced for the BBC  "Great Performances," "Now Hear This: The Schubert Generation Series," hosted by Scott Yoo, explored commentary and performances by contemporary musician admirers

Passage 8:
Alexander Courage
Alexander Mair Courage Jr  (December 10, 1919 – May 15, 2008) familiarly known as "Sandy" Courage, was an American orchestrator, arranger, and composer of music, primarily for television and film  He is best known as the composer of the theme music for the original Star Trek series 

Early life
Courage was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania  He received a music degree from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, in 1941  He served in the United States Army Air Forces in the western United States during the Second World War  During that period, he also found the time to compose music for the radio  His credits in this medium include the programs Adventures of Sam Spade Detective, Broadway Is My Beat, Hollywood Soundstage, and Romance 

Career
Courage began as an orchestrator and arranger at MGM studios, which included work in such films as the 1951 Show Boat ("Life Upon the Wicked Stage" number); Hot Rod Rumble (1957 film); The Band Wagon ("I Guess I'll Have to Change My Plan"); Gigi (the can-can for the entrance of patrons at Maxim's); and the barn raising dance from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers 
He frequently served as an orchestrator on films scored by André Previn (My Fair Lady, "The Circus is a Wacky World", and "You're Gonna Hear from Me" production numbers for Inside Daisy Clover), Adolph Deutsch (Funny Face, Some Like It Hot), John Williams (The Poseidon Adventure, Superman, Jurassic Park, and the Academy Award-nominated musical films Fiddler on the Roof and Tom Sawyer), and Jerry Goldsmith (Rudy, Mulan, The Mummy, et al )   He also arranged the Leslie Bricusse score (along with Lionel Newman) for Doctor Dolittle (1967) Apart from his work as a respected orchestrator, Courage also contributed original dramatic scores to films, including two westerns: Arthur Penn's The Left Handed Gun (1958) and André de Toth's Day of the Outlaw (1959), and the Connie Francis comedy Follow the Boys (1963)  He continued writing music for movies throughout the 1980s and 1990s, including the score for Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987), which incorporated three new musical themes by John Williams in addition to Courage's adapted and original cues for the film  Courage's score for Superman IV: The Quest for Peace was released on CD in early 2008 by the Film Music Monthly company as part of its boxed set Superman - The Music, while La-La Land Records released a fully expanded restoration of the score on May 8, 2018, as part of Superman's 80th anniversary 
Courage also worked as a composer on such television shows as Daniel Boone, The Brothers Brannagan, Lost in Space, Eight Is Enough, and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea  Judd, for the Defense, Young Dr  Kildare and The Brothers Brannagan were the only television series besides Star Trek for which he composed the main theme 
The composer Jerry Goldsmith and Courage teamed on the long-running television show The Waltons in which Goldsmith composed the theme and Courage the Aaron Copland-influenced incidental music  In 1988, Courage won an Emmy Award for his music direction on the special Julie Andrews: The Sound of Christmas   In the 1990s, Courage succeeded Arthur Morton as Goldsmith's primary orchestrator Courage and Goldsmith collaborated again on orchestrations for Goldsmith's score for the 1997 film "The Edge "
Courage frequently collaborated with John Williams during the latter's tenure with the Boston Pops Orchestra 

Family
At the age of 35, Courage married Mareile Beate Odlum on October 6, 1955 
Mareile, born in Germany, was the daughter of Rudolf Wolff and Elisabeth Loechelt  After Wolff's suicide Elisabeth married Carl Wilhelm Richard Hülsenbeck, renowned for his involvement in the Dada movement in Europe  Hülsenbeck brought his wife (Elisabeth), son (Tom) and step-daughter (Mareile) to the United States in 1938 to avoid the political situation rapidly developing in Europe  After arriving in the US he changed his last name to Hulbeck 
Mareile's marriage to Courage was her third  Her second marriage was to Bruce Odlum (son of financier Floyd Odlum) in 1944  That union produced two sons, Christopher (1947) and Brian (1949)  When Courage married Mareile he accepted the responsibility of acting stepfather to them  The family originally lived together on Erskine Dr  in Pacific Palisades, but later moved to a mountainside home on Beverly Crest Drive in Beverly Hills 
Aside from his musical abilities Courage was also an avid and accomplished photographer  He took many dramatic photos of bullfights and auto racing  He was a racing enthusiast, and his interest in that sport and photography brought him into contact with many racing personalities of the era, notably Phil Hill and Stirling Moss, both of whom he considered friends  Moss paid at least one social visit to the Erskine residence 
Though a dedicated stepfather to Christopher and Brian, Courage's musical career took precedence over his familial responsibilities  He sought to interest his step-children in music, and was responsible for arranging Brian's first musical lessons, on alto saxophone  Later in life Brian became a composer of serious electronic music, though the vocation was not apparent during his childhood, as he was a poor saxophone student 
Alexander and Mareile were divorced April 1, 1963  Courage subsequently married Kristin M  Zethren on July 14, 1967  That marriage also ended in divorce in 1972 

Star Trek theme
Courage is best known for writing the theme music for the original Star Trek series, and other music for that series  Courage was hired by Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry to score the original series at Jerry Goldsmith's suggestion, after Goldsmith turned down the job   
Courage went on to score incidental music for episodes "The Man Trap" and "The Naked Time" and some cues for "Mudd's Women "
Courage reportedly became alienated from Roddenberry when Roddenberry claimed half of the theme music royalties  Roddenberry wrote words for Courage's theme, not because he expected the lyrics to be sung on television, but so that he (Roddenberry) could receive half of the royalties from the song by claiming credit as the composition's co-writer  Courage was replaced by composer Fred Steiner who was then hired to write the musical scores for the remainder of the first season  
After sound editors had difficulty finding the right effect, Courage himself made the iconic "whoosh" sound heard while the Enterprise flies across the screen He returned to Star Trek to score two more episodes for the show's third and final season, episodes "The Enterprise Incident" and "Plato's Stepchildren," allegedly as a courtesy to Producer Robert Justman 
Notably, after later serving as Goldsmith's orchestrator, when Goldsmith composed the music for Star Trek: The Motion Picture,  Courage orchestrated Goldsmith's adaptation of his original Star Trek theme

Passage 9:
Gretchen am Spinnrade
"Gretchen am Spinnrade" (Gretchen at the Spinning Wheel), Op  2, D 118, is a Lied composed by Franz Schubert using the text from Part One, scene 15 of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust  With "Gretchen am Spinnrade" and some 600 other songs for voice and piano, Schubert contributed transformatively to the genre of Lied  "Gretchen am Spinnrade" was composed for soprano voice but has been transposed to accommodate other voice types  Schubert composed "Gretchen am Spinnrade" on 19 October 1814, three months before his eighteenth birthday 

German text
Analysis
The song is in three sections, exactly reflecting the form of Goethe's poem  On the other hand, Schubert contradicts Gretchen's return to composure in the last three stanzas by obsessively repeating her words to create a second climax on the highest note of the song The song opens with Gretchen at her spinning wheel, thinking of Faust and all that he had promised  The accompaniment in the right hand mimics the perpetual movement of the spinning-wheel and the left hand imitates the foot treadle  The initial key of D minor sets a longing tone as Gretchen begins to sing of her heartache ("Meine Ruh' ist hin/Mein herz ist schwer")  The first section progresses from D minor to C major, A minor, E minor, F major, and then returns to D minor  This, plus the crescendo, builds tension which releases only to be brought back to the beginning, much like the ever-circling spinning wheel  The song modulates to F major as Gretchen starts talking of Faust ("Sein hoher Gang/Sein' edle Gestalt")  The left-hand imitation of the treadle disappears and changes to block chords  Additionally, the absence of the rhythmic, consistent treadle allows Gretchen to lose her sense of stability and reality as she swoons over Faust  This section increases tension with a faster tempo, louder dynamics, and higher pitch in the soprano and peaks at Gretchen's remembrance of Faust's kiss ("Und ach, sein Kuß!")  Similar to the previous section, the music returns to the home key of D minor as Gretchen resumes reality and begins her spinning once more  The third part begins again with "Meine Ruh' ist hin/Mein herz ist schwer," but this time Gretchen escalates in intensity much faster than the previous sections  However, the treadle-like left hand is present, keeping her rooted in reality  Gretchen comes down from this fantasy quicker than before, as she realizes she and Faust will never be together  With a heavy heart, Gretchen comes to terms with this hard truth  The song ends as it began: in D minor, alluding to the monotony of the spinning wheel, and how reality is always present

Passage 10:
Petrus de Domarto
Petrus de Domarto (fl  c  1445–1455) was a Franco-Flemish composer of the Renaissance   He was a contemporary and probable acquaintance of Ockeghem, and was the composer of at least one of the first unified mass cycles to be written in continental Europe 

Life
Domarto's life is poorly documented   He was listed as a singer at the Church of Our Lady in Antwerp in 1449, five years after Ockeghem was known to be there, and there is evidence he was in Tournai in 1451   He had a high reputation (which makes the lack of documentation on his life curious), but even so was passed over for a post as master of the choirboys (in favor of Paulus Iuvenis)   No other documentation on his life has yet come to light 

Music and reputation
Domarto's two mass settings, the Missa Spiritus almus and a Missa sine nomine, were famous at the time   The latter of the two may have been one of the earliest cyclic masses composed on the continent, most likely in the 1440s, and imitates some features of contemporary English composers such as Leonel Power   The Missa Spiritus almus, likely dating from the 1450s, is a cantus-firmus mass, with the melody always in the tenor, but with a changing rhythmic profile as it changes mensuration throughout the piece   The procedure was evidently influential on the next generation of composers, for it was still being copied in the 1480s, and Busnois may have based one of his own masses on the same method (the Missa O crux lignum)  The theorist and writer Johannes Tinctoris criticised it for exactly the features that inspired other composers 
The two surviving secular compositions by Domarto are both rondeaux, formes fixes of the type popular with the Burgundian School

Empress Shōken
Empress Dowager Shōken (昭憲皇太后, Shōken-kōtaigō, 9 May 1849 – 9 April 1914), born Masako Ichijō (一条勝子, Ichijō Masako), was the wife of Emperor Meiji of Japan  She is also known under the technically incorrect name Empress Shōken (昭憲皇后, Shōken-kōgō)  She was one of the founders of the Japanese Red Cross Society, whose charity work was known throughout the First Sino-Japanese War 

Early life
Lady Masako Ichijō was born on 9 May 1849, in Heian-kyō, Japan  She was the third daughter of Tadayoshi Ichijō, former Minister of the Left and head of the Fujiwara clan's Ichijō branch  Her adoptive mother was one of Prince Fushimi Kuniie's daughters, but her biological mother was Tamiko Niihata, the daughter of a doctor from the Ichijō family  Unusually for the time, she had been vaccinated against smallpox  As a child, Masako was somewhat of a prodigy: she was able to read poetry from the Kokin Wakashū by the age of 4 and had composed some waka verses of her own by the age of 5  By age seven, she was able to read some texts in classical Chinese with some assistance and was studying Japanese calligraphy  By the age of 12, she had studied the koto and was fond of Noh drama  She excelled in the studies of finances, ikebana and Japanese tea ceremony The major obstacle to Lady Masako's eligibility to become empress consort was the fact that she was 3 years older than Emperor Meiji, but this issue was resolved by changing her official birth date from 1849 to 1850  They became engaged on 2 September 1867, when she adopted the given name Haruko (美子), which was intended to reflect her 
serene beauty and diminutive size 
The Tokugawa Bakufu promised 15,000 ryō in gold for the wedding and assigned her an annual income of 500 koku, but as the Meiji Restoration occurred before the wedding could be completed, the promised amounts were never delivered  The wedding was delayed partly due to periods of mourning for Emperor Kōmei,  for her brother Saneyoshi, and the political disturbances around Kyoto between 1867 and 1868 

Empress of Japan
Lady Haruko and Emperor Meiji's wedding was finally officially celebrated on 11 January 1869  She was the first imperial consort to receive the title of both nyōgō and of kōgō (literally, the emperor's wife, translated as "empress consort"), in several hundred years  However, it soon became clear that she was unable to bear children  Emperor Meiji already had 12 children by 5 concubines, though: as custom in Japanese monarchy, Empress Haruko adopted Yoshihito, her husband's eldest son by Lady Yanagihara Naruko, who became Crown Prince  On 8 November 1869, the Imperial House departed from Kyoto for the new capital of Tokyo  In a break from tradition, Emperor Meiji insisted that the Empress and the senior ladies-in-waiting should attend the educational lectures given to the Emperor on a regular basis about national conditions and developments in foreign nations 

Influence
On 30 July 1886, Empress Haruko attended the Peeresses School's graduation ceremony in Western clothing  On 10 August, the imperial couple received foreign guests in Western clothing for the first time when hosting a Western Music concert From this point onward, the Empress' entourage wore only Western-style clothes in public, to the point that in January 1887 
Empress Haruko issued a memorandum on the subject: traditional Japanese dress was not only unsuited to modern life, but Western-style dress was closer than the kimono to clothes worn by Japanese women in ancient times In the diplomatic field, Empress Haruko hosted the wife of former US President Ulysses S  Grant during his visit to Japan  She was also present for her husband's meetings with Hawaiian King Kalākaua in 1881  Later that same year, she helped host the visit of the sons of future British King Edward VII: Princes Albert Victor and George (future George V), who presented her with a pair of pet wallabies from Australia On  26 November 1886, Empress Haruko accompanied her husband to Yokosuka, Kanagawa to observe the new Imperial Japanese Navy cruisers Naniwa and Takachiho firing torpedoes and performing other maneuvers  From 1887, the Empress was often at the Emperor's side in official visits to army maneuvers  When Emperor Meiji fell ill in 1888, Empress Haruko took his place in welcoming envoys from Siam, launching warships and visiting Tokyo Imperial University  In 1889, Empress Haruko accompanied Emperor Meiji on his official visit to Nagoya and Kyoto  While he continued on to visit naval bases at Kure and Sasebo, she went to Nara to worship at the principal Shinto shrines Known throughout her tenure for her support of charity work and women's education during the First Sino-Japanese War (1894–95), Empress Haruko worked for the establishment of the Japanese Red Cross Society  She participated in the organization's administration, especially in their peacetime activities in which she created a money fund for the International Red Cross  Renamed "The Empress Shōken Fund", it is presently used for international welfare activities  After Emperor Meiji moved his military headquarters from Tokyo to Hiroshima to be closer to the lines of communications with his troops, Empress Haruko joined her husband in March 1895  While in Hiroshima, she insisted on visiting hospitals full of wounded soldiers every other day of her stay 

Death
After Emperor Meiji's death in 1912, Empress Haruko was granted the title Empress Dowager (皇太后, Kōtaigō) by her adoptive son, Emperor Taishō  She died in 1914 at the Imperial Villa in Numazu, Shizuoka and was buried in the East Mound of the Fushimi Momoyama Ryo in Fushimi, Kyoto, next to her husband  Her soul was enshrined in Meiji Shrine in Tokyo  On 9 May 1914, she received the posthumous name Shōken Kōtaigō (昭憲皇太后)  Her railway-carriage can be seen today in the Meiji Mura Museum, in Inuyama, Aichi prefecture

Agatha (wife of Samuel of Bulgaria)
Agatha (Bulgarian: Агата, Greek: Άγάθη; fl  late 10th century) was the wife of Emperor Samuel of Bulgaria 

Biography
According to a later addition to the history of the late-11th-century Byzantine historian John Skylitzes, Agatha was a captive from Larissa, and the daughter of the magnate of Dyrrhachium, John Chryselios  Skylitzes explicitly refers to her as the mother of Samuel's heir Gavril Radomir, which means that she was probably Samuel's wife  On the other hand, Skylitzes later mentions that Gavril Radomir himself also took a beautiful captive, named Irene, from Larissa as his wife  According to the editors of the Prosopographie der mittelbyzantinischen Zeit, this may have been a source of confusion for a later copyist, and Agatha's real origin was not Larissa, but Dyrrhachium  According to the same work, it is likely that she had died by ca  998, when her father surrendered Dyrrhachium to the Byzantine emperor Basil II Only two of Samuel's and Agatha's children are definitely known by name: Gavril Radomir and Miroslava  Two further, unnamed, daughters are mentioned in 1018, while Samuel is also recorded as having had a bastard son Agatha is one of the central characters in Dimitar Talev's novel Samuil

Release and reception
