Considered "the father of Australian music" Nathan was an English-born Australian composer and writer of Polish Jewish descent. He is perhaps best known for his highly popular Hebrew Melodies "the first attempt to set out the traditional music of the synagogue" set to text by Lord Byron. Wikipedia.<br/><br/>Of great importance to the history of music in Australia "Nathan set up his own musical type and publishing business gave the first concerts of madrigals and contributed to many early performances of opera in Sydney arranging orchestrating and copying parts as well as directing performances from the keyboard. As a teacher and conductor he assisted early colonial musicians in their concert careers and lectured on music at Sydney College 1844-6. He was responsible for the first operas written in Australia." Elizabeth Wood in Grove Music Online.<br/><br/>Nathan apprenticed to Domenico Corri in London in 1809 who had learned the classical tradition of Italian vocal culture from his teacher Nichola Porpora; his Musurgia Vocalis is one of the few early documentations of this method.

Wrappers darkened and a bit frayed along spine with narrow chips to the fold otherwise a very good copy of a scarce and fragile book. Half morocco slipcase and chemise. First edition of the poet/painter's third separate publication like its predecessors printed at his own expense and privately distributed. As often this crudely printed pamphlet bears some manuscript corrections in the text. The title is slightly deceptive as a small group of poems including war poems are appended. With a presentation inscription inside the front wrapper from Sydney Schiff to Lydia Sherwood January 24 1926. Schiff 1868-1944 translator of Proust patron of Joyce and Wyndham Lewis and friend of Eliot and Max Beerbohm published novels under the pseudonym "Stephen Hudson." His wife Violet nee Beddington was the younger sister of Wilde's friend Ada Leverson "The Sphinx". Rosenberg met Schiff in the spring of 1915. "Like Edward Marsh Schiff became Rosenberg's 'absentee patron' in the sense that he put no pressure on him to produce works in return for occasional support and was available whenever Rosenberg needed him . His new friendship with Schiff also contributed to his growing consciousness of being a Jew. They communicated easily . To Schiff Rosenberg could say things which would have been inappropriate to Marsh. ." "Moses" evolved from Rosenberg's exposure to anti-Semitism during his military service. Schiff was an important Jewish friend at the time and was instrumental in helping distribute copies of the play in literary circles. Lydia Sherwood d. 1989 was a British actress both stage and film from the 1920s to 1960s. See Joseph Cohen JOURNEY TO THE TRENCHES: THE LIFE OF ISAAC ROSENBERG 1890 - 1918 New York 1975.
