Annotated in pencil in the top margin: “Concert given by ‘old folks’ at Academy of Musick April 7th 1873.†Folds; minor loss at tail of spine; very good.</p> <p>Delightfully humorous program for a concert of antique music performed at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia. Likely getting into the spirit of the nation’s impending 1876 Centennial celebration the producers deliberately created the musical program and its printed program in an old-fashioned style.</p> <p>Although not a parody the printed program’s humor derives from a somewhat over wrought interpretation of “ye olde Englishe†style of writing. Its general layout typography generous use of long “Sâ€s orthography numerous superscripted letters to make abbreviations and Old English spelling suffixes etc. and the use of vegetable parchment to simulate antique animal parchment all lend to the tongue-in-cheek effect.</p> <p>Annotated in pencil in the top margin of the first page is this note: “Concert given by ‘old folks’ at Academy of Musick April 71873.†Even the annotator got into the parody spirit by spelling “music†with a “k†at the end!</p> <p>Some examples from the text of the program:</p> <p>"Forasmuch as Dyvers Syngynge People bothe menne & womenne have of late been attunynge theyre voyces unto harmonie & forasmuch as ye knowledge thereof hath come to certayne of ye townspeople of Phyladelphya…they wyll dyscourse accordynge unto certayne sette Tunes dyvers Psalms & Hymns & Spirituall Songes…<br /> Yt ths taxxe wh hath beene fixxede at ye rate of SIXXE 6 Shillynges currency ¾ of a Dollar per capita canne br payde att ye shoppe on ye Chestnitte Streete whre Jonathan Gouldde & hys younge partnere dispenseth Harpsichorddes Spinnets Dulcimeres & Tune-bookes.<br /> N.

It included sacred and secular music most accompanied by solo singers or an ensemble or chorus as well as a rendition of an 18th century symphony attributed to Joseph “Papa†Haydn seen here as “Feytherre Haydn†—“Ye Chyldrenne’s Symfonye†Kindersinfonie.</p> <p>Songs performed include “Auld Lang Syne By alle ye Synggers†“Ye Evils of Procrastynatynonne By Gaffer Rawlungges†“Sherbourne By alle ye menne & wommyne at once†and “Ye Old Hundredthe.â€</p> <p>Except for the pencil annotation the program does not refer to Philadelphia’s Academy of Music which despite its name never had a school. Instead it refers to the concert venue as “Ye Schoole of Musick.†Perhaps “Academy†was not Anglo-Saxon enough for the parodists</p> unknown
