Aldrich, Richard. “Apthorp, William Foster” in The New Grove Dictionary of American Music edited by H. Wiley Hitchcock and Stanley Sadie.London: Macmillan Press Ltd., 1986; 62. Apthorp published four major books on music and edited, with John Denison Champlin, Scribner’s Cyclopedia of Music and Musicians (1888-1890). Nelson points out that this article by Aldrich which was almost the same entry as Aldrich had first published in 1935 for the third edition of Grove’s Dictionary of Music and Musicians; Aldrich had also used the same information for articles that appeared in 1964 and 1984. “It is obvious that they [the articles] have not been updated at any time during the past fifty years.” (Nelson, p. 19) Nelson also mentions, “Apthorp is treated in more detail” in the American Supplement to Grove’s Dictionary “which also came out in 1935.” (Nelson; 19)

A collection that contained “much original matter” including Margaret’s Spring Flowers [composer’s note-“Composed for this book”] on a poem by Nixon Waterman, which would seem to be her last published work. Chadwick, as chief editor contributed eight pieces, while Birge supplied two as did Miessner, while Mrs. Beach and Mabel Daniels each provided one. “The aim of this volume is to present to the high school students of the country a collection of choruses comparable by every artistic standard with the material offered for their study of literature.” The earliest pieces were by Palestrina, and from this era “examples of choral music [were selected to] show the development of each historic period, culminating in a broad survey of contemporary music.” (Preface, iii)Margaret’s piece was in a homophonic style-a vocal waltz.

Fay, Amy. Music Study In Germany In the Nineteenth Century, with a New Introduction by Frances Dillon. New York: Dover Publications, Inc., 1965. Dillon was part of the Mannes College of Music in New York City at the time of publication. This edition was an unabridged and corrected republication of the work first published by A. C. McClurg & Company, Chicago, in 1880. Dillon noted that “It is interesting to read the detailed presentation of the restrictive methods to which Tausig, and two of Amy Fay’s other teachers, Ehlert and Kullak, exposed their students. In each case, they advocated the Czerny-Reineke school, in which a quiet arm, a fixed wrist and exaggeratedly high fingers were typical…One discovers that all her teachers, with the exception of Franz Liszt, laid persistent stress on technique.” (Fay, x and xi) Fay then studied with the conductor-pianist Ludwig Deppe (1828-1890) who “was one of the first to interest himself in weight and muscular relaxation, the principle of ”muscular synergy,” which counteracted the existing system of the last half-century of keyboard methodology. it is a known fact that Deppe’s theories were to be adopted by Matthay in England, Steinhausen, Tetzel and Breithaupt in Germany, Jaell in France, Brugnoli in Italy and Leschertizky in Austria, all teachers of famous pianists.” (Fay, xii) When Fay returned to America she implemented his method in her teaching in New York, Boston and Chicago. This book was first published in 1880 “at the insistence and with the guidance of henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who personally brought the letters to his publisher. It went into twenty-one printings in America, and in 1886 was republished in London by Macmillan at the request of Sir George Grove.” (Fay, xiii and xiv) A French translation was made, and the German translation was “personally sponsored by Liszt.” (Ibid)
An edition published in 1922 by The Macmillan Company included a Prefatory Note by O. G. Sonneck. After noting the differences in America versus Europe of the 1870s and the 1920s, and that America now could provide a fine musical training, Sonneck does say: “Let the American music-student at some time in his career, but only when he is ripe for further study in a foreign country, sojourn a few years in Paris, Berlin, Leipzig, Munich, Vienna, Rome, London, and he will profitably encounter, whether it be to his taste or not, that indefinable something which the old world in matters of life, art, and art-like possessed as peculiarly its own in 1870, still possesses to-day and will possess for many, many years to come.”

The entry for Rupert Hughes in the History of American Music edited by W. L. Hubbard states that “One of the brightest writers of the younger generations is Richard Hughes. He became an assistant at the Criterion in New York and then went abroad to do research for a large publishing firm. Fiction and verse, essays and criticisms, which have emulated from his versatile pen have been frequently encountered in the magazines, while several books, among them Contemporary American Composers, and a very popular one entitled Love Affairs of the Great Composers, have served to make him known as one of the liveliest and wittiest of musical authors.” (Hubbard, p. 306)

Lurie, Alison. V. R. Lang-Poems and Plays With a Memoir. New York: Random House, 1975. The flyleaf says-“V. R. Lang (called “Bunny” even by those who had never met her) was one of those rare people who are vividly remembered by everyone whose life they touch. Idiosyncratic in dress and manner, she was opinioned, charming, sometimes exasperating, sometimes lovable. A natural heroine who burned her candle at both ends, she gave marvelous parties and had an enormous circle of friends, ranging from strippers (once, when broke, she worked for a few weeks as a chorus girl at the Old Howard Burlesque House in Scollay Square) to Boston Brahmins.
As V. R. Lang, Bunny was a gifted poet who also had a genius for organization. In Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the early 1950s, she was one of the founders and the moving force behind the Poets” Theatre, and many she helped to promote-among them John Ashbery, Edward Gorey, Kenneth Koch, James Merrill, Frank O’Hara and Richard Wilbur-have since become famous in their fields.
Alison Lurie knew Bunny well in those days, and a few years after her friend died of cancer in 1956 at the age of thirty-two, she published privately this moving and witty memoir.”

Tomlins, W. L. The Laurel Music-Reader. Boston: C. C. Birchard & Company, 1912. Original copyright dates of 1906 and 1908, this volume was in response to the success of The Laurel Song Book-“May it prove a worthy companion volume, its equal in excellence, interest, and popularity.”(Introduction, p. v). Two pieces by Margaret were included: To the Red-Breast, words by John Keble, and White Butterflies, words by Algernon Charles Swinburne. Her first piece is a short, fourteen measure, homophonic chorus in six-eight which she lists as her “Op. 38,” while the second is twenty-eight measures in length, and also in homophonic style. At the end of this second chorus is a footnote-“This song with piano accompaniment is published in our sheet music collection-the Laurel Octavo.”This success of this collection and The Laurel Song Book led to The School Song Book edited by Osbourne McConathy first published in 1910 which “was adopted in over five thousand cities and towns.” (Ayars, 46)
Tomlins, W. L. The Laurel Song Book. Boston: C. C. Birchard & Company, 1908. Subtitled-“For Advanced Classes in Schools, Academies, Choral Societies, etc.” Original copyright dates of 1900 and 1901. The aim of this collection was “to give to the young student of this country a collection of songs and choruses representative (in so far as is possible to a work of limited compass) of the best musical art of the world, and more especially of the art of our contemporary American composers…In the hope that a book representing much of the art and life of America today, and giving to the student so unusual a combination of the beautiful in the sister arts of poetry and music, may be found acceptable and helpful, the editor offers this work to the educators and musicians of the country.” (Introduction, iii and iv) Among the ninety “Songs and Choruses” included were two by Margaret: To the Fringed Gentian, words by William Cullen Bryant, and True Freedom, words by James Russell Lowell. Both of these works were homophonic in nature. There were also seventy-seven “Folk Songs and Hymns” included in the collection.The company of C. C. Birchard was founded in order to publish this collection. “The aim of this songbook was to furnish school music with texts of definite literary value and subjects that would interest and inspire American youth, emphasizing joy, hope, brotherhood and courage as the dominant emotions of American life. This volume was the pioneer in the use of the art songs of the great composers, as distinct from the purely folk song type of material, drawn largely from central European sources, which at one time predominated in music readers used in the schools. This book brought out for the first time in a school book works of many American composers. Texts were selected from the great poets and writers of the English-speaking world.” (Ayars, 45)
