Antonín Dvorák offered him a job to teach harmony and counterpoint at the National Conservatory from 1896 to 1898. In 1917 he joined the faculty of the Chicago Musical College and in 1934 he moved to the St. Louis Institute of Music, where he remained until his death. As a composer he is hardly remembered today - but if he were, it would be for his Psalm CXXVIII for solo, chorus and orchestra and other choral pieces. He also left an orchestral suite:

Extractions: Albert Spalding Back Order Form Volume 1 Volume 2 ... Albert Spalding Albert Spalding was one of the most prolific musicians of his time. Not only was he a superb violinist ranking with those of the greatest renown, he was also accomplished in other fields. As a composer, he was the third most productive violinist of his contemporaries. As an author, he published several books. As a patriot, his dedication to his country brought him to active duty in both World Wars. His service in WW II may have contributed to his early demise, making him a war hero who virtually gave his life for his country. I am pleased that A Classical Record is taking pains to bring the memory of Albert Spalding back into focus. -Albert Spalding Benoist, Monmouth Beach, NJ April 3, 1997 Albert Spalding was born in Chicago, August 15, 1888. His father was James Walter Spalding, the younger brother of Albert Goodwill Spalding. His mother was Marie Boardman an outstanding contralto, a gifted pianist and harpist. So, it was no surprise that the youthful Albert developed a musical fascination at a very early age. It was "A.G." who was immortalized in the Cooperstown, NY museum for his contribution to baseball and who founded the famous A. G. Spalding & Brothers sporting goods firm with his brother and brother-in-law. In 1895, the J. W. Spalding family began spending their winters in Florence, Italy. It was there on Christmas day, at the age of seven years, that Albert received his first "

One of Thurmond's violins, Bethany stars prominently in the 1999 video "Covered Bridges of New England," produced by Fritz Wetherbee for PBS. As the program opens, viewers are told Thurmond made the violin using wood from the Cornish-Windsor Covered Bridge. What follows is a beautiful serenade on Bethany , played by violinist Victoria Kehler of Concord, NH. Victoria teaches violin and viola at the Concord Community Music School in New Hampshire. The Bethany violin, named in honor of Thurmond's wife, Bethany Greeley Knight, was commissioned in 1990 by Leo Maslan, of Cornish, NH, as an anniversary gift for his wife Kathleen. The violin was presented in 1990 as a surprise gift after an unsuspecting Kathleen was treated to a concert on the Bethany violin by Drusilla Macy, staged at an intimate dinner at a Hartland, Vermont restaurant. Kathleen graciously loaned Bethany to Victoria for the "Covered Bridges" production. Here Leo is presenting the violin to Kathleen, seated, while Thurmond and violinist Drusilla Macy of Barre, Vermont look on.

Extractions: forest by Jerry (in harness) and Lloyd Violin makers are always searching for just the right wood to be used in the making of instruments. I have found a source for the finest European tone woods available today and use them in many of my instruments. However, I do not exclude wood from other sources when I find it to be ideal for a particular instrument. Most of my European wood was cut in 1954 and has been quietly aging in an attic in Mittenwald, Germany since then, waiting patiently to be used in an instrument During a bridge restoration project, I acquired red spruce cut in 1866 in New Hampshire, used in the construction of the covered bridge which now spans the Connecticut River between Windsor, Vermont and Cornish, New Hampshire. I find this century-old spruce ideal for the construction of my violas. This wood goes into what I call the Knight Bridge Collection of instruments. The highly figured soft maple used in the construction of my cello backs, ribs and necks hails from the northern forests of Michigan. I found it in a large drying shed outside a furniture factory in North Carolina. I was informed these huge slabs of wood were not used by the factory because it was difficult to make symmetrical furniture with such beautiful, one of a kind figured wood. Unlike the furniture makers, I find highly figured maple wonderful to work with. My cellos are the better for it.

Barber And Meyer Violin Concertos -- Hilary Hahn The Violin Concerto of Edgar Meyer, of which this is the first recording, pair of performances by albert spalding with The Philadelphia Orchestra in the http://www.sonyclassical.com/music/89029/notes.html
Extractions: The Violin Concerto of Edgar Meyer, of which this is the first recording, grew out of a chance meeting that I had with the composer in 1996, when we were playing Bach's Brandenburg Concertos together in New York. It is the first piece ever commissioned for me, the first piece that I have ever premiered, and the first that I have been the first to record. I could not be happier that a work with so much spirit, power, dramatic range, and lyrical beauty is dedicated to me. Everything about the creation of this concerto, which took place in the spring and summer of 1999, went smoothly. In January, Edgar faxed me the first two pages of the violin part. In the months that followed, working around the world in spare moments between his own engagements on the double bass, he composed and faxed me the concerto page by page as he finished it and I learned it as it arrived. If it is not the world's first faxed concerto, it is certainly the first I have ever received that way. The violin part was completed by early April of 1999. In July (with Curtis staff pianist Hugh Sung playing Edgar's piano reduction), I gave the first performance of the Meyer Concerto for the residents of a retirement home outside of Philadelphia who perked up their ears at the first notes and roared their approval at the end. Trial orchestral performances with Edgar Meyer present to correct errors in the score followed at summer festivals in San Luis Obispo, California, and Skaneateles, New York, both conducted by Jeffrey Kahane. September 1999 brought the premiere performances of the final version with The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra conducted by Hugh Wolff, first in Fargo, North Dakota, then in Orchestra Hall, Minneapolis, and finally in the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, St. Paul, where it was recorded on September 27, 1999.

Barbara Heninger Samuel Barber Violin Concerto The lasting popularity of Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings , Op. 11 (1936) may make one assume he was always considered an accomplished composer for strings. Yet when he came to write his only violin concerto this ability was questioned by his sponsor, who refused to pay for the work. The story runs thus: in 1939 soap tycoon Samuel Fels offered Barber a commission to write a piece for his adopted son, violinist Iso Briselli, a fellow student with Barber at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia (both graduated in 1934). Barber took an advance on the commission and traveled to Switzerland to compose, finishing the first two movements. He continued to Paris but found the Nazi threat required all Americans to leave the country, so he returned to the U.S. and showed the unfinished work to his sponsor. The first movement - allegro molto moderato - begins with a lyrical first subject announced at once by the solo violin, without any orchestral introduction. This movement as a whole has perhaps more the character of a sonata than concerto form. The second movement - andante sostenuto - is introduced by an extended oboe solo. The violin enters with a contrasting and rhapsodic theme, after which it repeats the oboe melody of the beginning. The last movement, a perpetual motion, exploits the more brilliant and virtuosic character of the violin.
