Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of festival programs organized under the direction of Walter Damrosch for the inauguration of Music Hall. Founded by Andrew Carnegie in 1891, Music Hall was established to give a home to the Oratorio Society and Symphony Society. The venue finally provided the two societies a space in which to showcase their joint musical efforts to their fullest potential. The programs presented in this book are significant because they mark a turning point for the societies involved as they worked towards a common goal, giving voice to a rich diversity of choral works. The range of works performed over the course of the festival reveals the author's commitment to representing various eras of music - from the simple song to the grand oratorio - while also showcasing the passion and skill of the Russian composer Tschaikowsky. With its historical significance and inclusion of notable musical compositions, this book offers a valuable glimpse into the inaugural season of Carnegie's Music Hall and the vibrant musical culture of New York in the late 19th century.
