In an introductory essay, Nicholas Temperley gives a detailed assessment of the current state of research in this field and examines the reasons for the relative obscurity of most Victorian music, which he traces to the Victorians' own belief that great music must come from across the Channel. The intrinsic value of Victorian music is the main message of Peter Horton's essay on Samuel Sebastian Wesley and Linda K. Hughes's critical study of Arthur Somervall's song cycle on Tennyson's Maud; but both also examine the proper function of music, a subject that greatly concerned many Victorian writers and thinkers. Among them was John Ruskin, whose ideas and musical compositions are explored by William J. Gatens. The function of music in education is the subject of Bernarr Rainbow's essay, while Mary Burgan surveys the treatment of music as an occupation for women in nineteenth-century fiction. Robert Bledsoe investigates the reception of a great Italian composer, Giuseppe Verdi, by Victorian critics and audiences. Since, as Temperley points out, serious Victorian music is difficult for the general reader to locate, the book is accompanied by a special cassette recording of music to illustrate some of the essays. 606 $aMusic$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01030269 606 $aMusic$zGreat Britain$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 607 $aGreat Britain$2fast 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMusic. 615 0$aMusic$xHistory and criticism. 700 $aTemperley$b Nicholas$4edt$01016555 701 $aTemperley$b Nicholas$01016555 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524846203321 996 $aThe Lost Chord$92676755 997 $aUNINA
