The Operetta Empire
Micaela Baranello has established herself as a leading operetta scholar, and this book reinforces her reputation. Her study of twentieth-century Viennese operetta is especially welcome because, until recently, most critical work of a similar nature, from the likes of Stefan Frey and Marion Linhardt, has been available only in German. English accounts have been, for the most part, of a cataloguing or descriptive character. Baranello is at pains to…
The Cambridge Companion to Operetta
Those whose thoughts of musical theatre are dominated by the Broadway musical will find this book a revelation. From the 1850s to the early 1930s, when urban theatres sought to mount glamorous musical entertainment, it was to operetta that they turned. It was a form of musical theatre that crossed national borders with ease and was adored by audiences around the world. This collection of essays by an array of international scholars examines the k…

Music History and Cosmopolitanism
Cosmopolitan musicology
This chapter briefly retraces the path that led to the arguments in the development of social justice and a democratic culture. It sets out with a commitment to multiculturalism and cultural relativism, and so an early research in Orientalism, in the sense in which Said and postcolonial theorists used that term. Cosmopolitanism has returned to the agenda in the context of debates about globalization. Beck and Edgar Grande argue not for the 'world…
Confronting the National in the Musical Past
This chapter offers an approach complementary to that of Applegate, and attempts some further qualification to her characterization of nineteenth-century musicians as cosmopolitans. Whereas Applegate concentrates primarily on the transfers of styles and genres and on the question of how this exchange may have profited the nations involved. The chapter focuses on the musicians themselves and the social contexts and practical consequences of their …

Preface
Gilbert and Sullivan
This book appears in what is primarily a literary series, rather than Ashgate's nineteenth-century British music series. The emphasis, therefore, falls predictably on W. S. Gilbert, even though these comic operas were written with Arthur Sullivan as an equally creative partner. Regina Oost explains that her intention in this study is ‘to examine the Savoy operas in the context of their production and performance’ (p. 3), which means paying due at…
Teaching construction management through games alone
Purpose This paper aims to describe work carried out by the authors using simulation games to teach key aspects of construction management to civil engineering students. The use of simulation games for this purpose is well documented but is still not fully accepted. The work described in this paper aims to address this by analysing the use of simulation games as the primary teaching mechanism in a teaching module, Applied Construction Management.…
Victorian Songhunters
The picture on the cover highlights an intractable problem for this kind of survey. It shows a street ballad vendor with his roll of songs, the most visible of which is one called ‘The Policeman’. Two things strike me immediately: this looks like commercial music (the vendor certainly intends profiting by it), and it has an urban context. Surely this is some distance from the usual connotations of the term ‘folksong’? What is more, ballad vendors…
From the Erotic to the Demonic
This text should prove useful as a model for musicologists who want to take a postmodern approach to their inquiries. It demonstrates how different musical styles construct ideas of class, sexuality, and ethnic identity
Music and social class in Victorian London
This essay looks at London in the second half of the nineteenth century, when features of musical life associated with a capitalist economy and the consolidation of power of a wealthy industrial bourgeoisie became firmly established. Prominent among such features, which are all closely related to the rapid increase in urban populations, were the commercialization and professionalization of music, new markets for cultural goods, a growing rift bet…

The Sexual Politics of Victorian Musical Aesthetics
A sexual division of musical composition emerged in nineteenth-century Britain: during that period, metaphors of masculinity and femininity solidified into truths about musical style. Contemporary social theory, domestic sphere ideology, the new scientia sexualis , and aesthetics of the sublime and the beautiful ensured that certain musical styles were considered unsuitable or even unnatural for women composers. Female creativity was also denied …
