Date to foot of recto. <br/><br/>With:<br/>Fragment of libretto of The Invisible Fire. Three typed leaves stapled with text to rectos only. Fragment beginning with Part II of the oratorio and ending in the middle of Part V; text of Part I and from the middle of Part V lacking. Autograph note in red pencil to upper left corner of first page: "Send to Cassilly." With numerous autograph annotations in blue pencil indicating division in parts performing forces tempi etc.; the section rendered in the present musical sketch is marked as "enclosed" indicating that the musical sketch and the libretto fragment have been together from the beginning. A piano-vocal score of The Invisible Fire was published by H.W. Gray in New York in 1957. In 1960 the Methodist Publishing House issued a volume containing the libretto texts about the work and numerous related color photographs. The text of the oratorio is by Tom F. Driver born 1925 with parts adapted from Charles Wesley John Wesley and William Cowper. <br/><br/>"The oratorio was commissioned by the National Methodist Student Movement and the Department of Worship and the Arts of the National Council of Churches. It was first performed at the National Methodist Student Conference on December 31 1957 with the Kansas City Philharmonic and 200 voice conference choir Thor Johnson conducting." From the program of a performance of The Invisible Fire in Bethlehem Pennsylvania on April 9 2011.<br/><br/>"Born in Colorado Springs Effinger studied mathematics at Colorado College BA 1935 harmony and counterpoint with Frederick Boothroyd Colorado Springs 1934-6 and composition with Boulanger in Paris 1939. He played first oboe in the Colorado Springs SO 1934-41 and Denver SO 1937-41. He taught at the Colorado College 1936-41 1946-8 served as conductor of the 506th US Army Band 1941-5 and taught at the University of Colorado in Boulder 1948-81 composer-in-residence 1981-4 where he became the head of the composition department. He formed a lifelong friendship with Roy Harris beginning in 1941. In 1954 Effinger patented the 'Musicwriter' typewriter which he manufactured and sold worldwide for 35 years. He also invented the 'Tempowatch' the only device that can accurately determine the tempo of music as it is being performed.<br/><br/>"As a composer he was prolific;. among his most popular compositions are his choral works several of which are large scale and based on sacred subjects including. The Invisible Fire 1957. Although he used dissonance he never abandoned consonant harmonies referring to his idiom as 'atonal tonality'. His instrumental works contain lyrical string melodies lilting woodwind figurations and traditional developmental forms. Many of his works reflect his native Rocky Mountain region in their choice of text programmatic titles and pastoral style that he associated with western themes." Lawrence Worster in Grove Music Online.<br/><br/>"Cassilly" may well refer to American tenor Richard Cassilly 1927-1998 whose career had taken off in the mid-1950s. In that case the present sketch might be a replacement requested by the singer of the original version as notated on page 76 of the piano-vocal score to which it refers. unknown books

191769840Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin Company 1917. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. Large Paper Edition this is number 129 of 550 copies. This copy comes from the library of Lucretia Thatcher Perry Osborn 1858-1930 with her bookplate to the front pastedown and a holographic note in her hand on the front flyleaf "This narrative is one of John Muir's earliest chiefly written from his diary of the North". Lucretia and her husband American paleontologist Henry Fairfield Osborn 1857-1935 were close friends and benefactors of John Muir. Henry accompanied Muir on his fifth trip to Alaska 1896 and later Muir spent time at the couple's summer house in Garrison New York working on the final proofs of The Yosemite 1912. A fantastic association. In addition to its regular arctic duties as a United States Revenue Service Cutter the Corwin steamed out of San Francisco Bay on May 4 1881 with orders to search for the American polar exploration vessel Jeanette which had not been heard from since 1879. Muir shipped onboard as a naturalist and correspondent for the San Francisco Daily Bulletin and this work consists of the 21 letters that he wrote to the Bulletin during the more than five-month voyage supplemented with notes from his daily diary and the two scientific reports on botany and glaciation that he wrote for the government. Muir was a gifted journalist with a reporter's instinct for the dramatic. Filled with colorful details of the arctic natives and their customs the stark landscape and frequently perilous adventures in an inhospitable and hazardous environment his despatches were eagerly read by a large audience. Edited by William Frederic Bade 1871-1936. Hand-colored photogravure frontispiece with 26 plates consisting of one map eleven halftone reliefs from photographs eight halftone reliefs from sketches by Muir and six line blocks from drawings by Muir. Octavo. Original green laid paper covered boards with a green cloth spine and a brown leather spine label stamped in gold. Partially unopened. An especially crisp and bright example. Later bookplate to a prefatory blank leaf. The spine is lightly faded along the spine with a tiny bit of wear to the spine heel and some very mild rubbing to the rear board. Kimes 347.
