Right after \u201cThe Comet\u201d the once famous Tyrolese warblers visited New York and made what the bills call nowadays \u201can instantaneous hit,\u201d then came \u201cthe Swiss Bell ringers,\u201d and the Rainers, another&#8217;s Act of Tyrolese warblers, and later on came \u201cThe Steiermarkers.\u201d This was the first real orchestra of any account that ever \u201ctraveled\u201d in this country. It comprised eighteen people, under the leadership of a man named Rhia, who was the first violin. They played only \u201clight\u201d pieces and did pretty well. The great piece in which they made a furore was Gungl\u2019s Railroad Galop, then a new thing. The success of this piece gave Gungl himself an idea that New York was a big bonanza for him and so he got up an orchestra and came over. But he didn&#8217;t pan out as well as he expected, so he took his revenge by givin\u2019 the Americans \u201cfits\u201d in a musical journal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He was a success as a satirist, if not as a band leader, and his remarks on New York music made New York howl when they were published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"521\" height=\"493\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Gungl_Josef.jpg?resize=521%2C493&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1109\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.0567951318458417;width:277px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Gungl_Josef.jpg?w=521&amp;ssl=1 521w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Gungl_Josef.jpg?resize=300%2C284&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 521px) 100vw, 521px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Josef Gungl<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Accordin\u2019 to Gungl all the real good musicians in New York had failed from lack of public appreciation and only three humbugs had succeeded. First among those humbugs he put a woman called Madam Goria Bothe, who was advertised as \u201cprima donna from the Royal Opera in Berlin,\u201d although Gungl said she had never been in Berlin, never seen the emperor and never sung in operas. This woman \u201csings like a night watchman\u201d&#8211;that is, she screeched, wrote Gungl, and she could probably succeed in pleasin\u2019 the Chinese, the Hottentots, the Esquimaux and the New Yorkers, and these only. Next among the musical humbugs he ranks Strakosch, the pianist. A worthy companion of the \u201cprima donna from The Royal Opera at Berlin\u201d Gungl styles him, and last among the three he puts Madam Anna Bishop, who, he says, \u201cwas really a good singer if she chose, but who didn&#8217;t choose in New York, as she took the Bible\u2019s advice and wouldn&#8217;t waste pearls upon swine.\u201d According to Gungl Madam Bishop&#8217;s great success in America had been \u201cin the Daughter of the Regiment, which she sung with a hat on her head and a pipe in her mouth, the tobacco pipe nightly callin\u2019 forth the most unbounded applause. I regret now,\u201d winds up Gungl, \u201cthat I didn&#8217;t lead my band with a tobacco pipe in my mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; After Gungl came the \u201cSaxonia Orchestra\u201d and then \u201cthe Lombardi,\u201d both comparative failures pecuniarily. Then came the greatest and best travelin\u2019 orchestra that has ever visited the city and country, the Germania Orchestra. Many of the members of the Germania had belonged to Gungl\u2019s Berlin Band. They were all young men and good musicians. Senschow was their original leader, but Carl Bergmann&#8217;s name has been most closely identified with the leadership of the society, as he let it the longest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The original Germania Orchestra appeared at the Astor Place Opera House just thirty-six years ago. They subsequently performed at the old Broadway \u201cTabernacle\u201d and then over in Brooklyn. All the deadheads and critics praised \u2018em, but the people at first didn&#8217;t go to see \u2018em, so they got discouraged and lost their grip. After a while they got down to playin\u2019 in \u201cpromenade concerts,\u201d and even these were not a success, as \u201cthe ghost did not promenade or walk\u201d&#8211;that is to say, salary and expenses were not forthcomin\u2019. One Christmas night the Germania announced \u201ca grand holiday promenade concert\u201d which, after waiting till nine o\u2019clock, began with only seven dollars and a half in the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 About 9:30 the proprietor of the hall \u201cpromenaded\u201d into the room and announced that if the rent due was not paid at once he would at once turn off the gas. Quick as a flash the leader of the orchestra, evidently relieved by the suggestion, turned to him and cried: \u201cFor heaven&#8217;s sake, turn it off.\u201d Then givin\u2019 the signal each musician put his instrument under his arm and walked off the platform, leavin\u2019 the proprietor to turn off the gas, if he chose, and the audience to turn out into the street. Such was the deplorable \u201cwind up\u201d of the great Germania Orchestra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"342\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Germania_Musical_Society_portrait.jpg?resize=640%2C342&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1110\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.8691588785046729;width:732px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Germania_Musical_Society_portrait.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Germania_Musical_Society_portrait.jpg?resize=300%2C161&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Germania_Musical_Society_portrait.jpg?resize=768%2C411&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Germania Musical Society<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But, as if to forcibly illustrate the mutability of the amusement affairs, in a few weeks later the Germania Orchestra got a new lease of life, came together once more and became more popular than ever they \u2018emselves had expected to become. The orchestra made a hit in Baltimore, then in Boston, then comin\u2019 back to New York took the Metropolis by storm. They now played nightly to $600 houses, with less fuss and less trouble than they used to play to $60. Castle Garden was then a popular place of entertainment, and the manager of this place offered the Germanias big sharin\u2019 terms if they would play at the Battery durin\u2019 the Summer, but the orchestra had got aristocratic by this time and wouldn&#8217;t have anythin\u2019 to do at Castle Garden, but went and gave swell concerts at Newport. And their popularity continued unbroken for seven years. In fact, the orchestra finally went to pieces simply on account of its excessive popularity. It was so much in demand and had to travel here, there and everywhere, all over the country, so much, at \u201cone night stands,\u201d as well as in the big cities, that the members, most of whom were married, now got tired of goin\u2019 about, and resigning and leavin\u2019 one by one, the orchestra soon became a mere \u201cshell\u201d and at last disbanded. What was left of it? A victim to its own success. A good many \u201ctravelin\u2019\u201d companies would, I dare say, like a chance to \u201cbust up\u201d just as the Germania did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Durin\u2019 the last three or four years of its course the Germania Orchestra engaged musical stars for its \u201cgrand concerts\u201d outside of its own members. Jenny Lind sang for it. So did Sontag. Ole Bull played for it. So did Alfred Jaell and Camilla Urso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Among the Germania members or performers was a violin player called Albrecht, who had a hobby for collectin\u2019 a musical library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He got together a valuable and curious collection of musical works and sold \u2018em to Joseph W. Drexel, lately so much written about as a probable Republican candidate for governor of New York. This Albrecht was one of the very few musicians who are unselfish, and, as usual in those exceptional cases, he carried his unselfishness too far. He became a communist and went into all sorts of wild schemes for the amelioration of the condition of his fellow man. He became a follower of the communist, Cobet, and settled at Nauvoo after the Mormons had been expelled from there. He was a sincere and conscientious communist, but like others of his class he found that modern communism had little sincerity or conscience in it, bein\u2019 principally gas and petroleum. So he gave up this idealism and got married to a sensible wife, who gave him the best thing a man can get, somethin\u2019 to work for like a sensible man. But just as he, havin\u2019 got over his musical craze and his socialist craze, tackled work, he died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But, before he died, he had written so favorably of the prospects of America to some European friends and correspondents, that, gettin\u2019 a sight of these letters, Jullien, the French orchestra leader, who had previously had his thoughts directed to America, made up his mind to come over here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Jullien_Louis-Antoine.jpg?resize=320%2C391&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Jullien_Louis-Antoine.jpg?w=320&amp;ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Jullien_Louis-Antoine.jpg?resize=246%2C300&amp;ssl=1 246w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Louis-Antoine Jullien<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Jullien&#8217;s band was really a magnificent one, embracin\u2019 over forty performers, all first-class. The Mollenhauer brothers, afterwards so well known in New York musically, were members of Jullien&#8217;s band. Jullien himself was the best conductor in New York has ever seen until Gilmore&#8217;s time. He was the first to introduce the \u201cComposers Night,\u201d or concerts entirely devoted to the works of one composer. This idea made a stir from the start. Jullien was also the first foreign musician of any prominence who played the works of American composers. He brought out several productions of H. W. Frye and George Bristow, and liked America as much as America liked him. It was a thousand pities that such a man and a musician as Jullien should have committed suicide. He was too good a man to throw himself away that way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; New York is this season and has been for<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1107","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
