Some useful information on music
It is noteworthy that operas at first were performed private­ly; that the first "commercial" operatic venture took place early in the seventeenth century, this leading to the opening of opera houses for the general public in many cities.
By the middle of the nineteenth century, composers were finding more and more inspiration of their heritage. The time had come to emancipate the music of their country from the domination of "foreign" concepts and conventions.
One of the first countries to raise the banner was Russia, which had various sources of material as bases of an indepen­dent musical repertory, Russian folk songs and the music of the old Russian Church.
The composer to champion this cause was Glinka, who sub­merged Western-European influences by establishing a new national school. Glinka's immediate successor was Dargomizhsky, then Ba-lakirev. His own creative output was comparatively small; he is best remembered as the driving force in establishing "The Mogutschaya Kuchka", a group which included Borodin, Cui, Moussorgsky and Rimsky-Korsakov.
Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) worked independently and was the first Russian composer to win widespread international re­cognition.
It is a narrow line that divides Operetta from Musical Com­edy, both blending music and the spoken word. When we think of operetta, such titles come to mind as The Gipsy Baron (Johann Strauss), The Merry Widow and The Count of Luxem­bourg (Lehar). Of recent years these have been replaced in popular favour by "Musicals" which placed more emphasis on unity and theatrical realism, such as Oklahoma, My Fail Lady, The Sound of Music and West Side Story.
In early times instrumental music broke away from occa­sions associated with sacred worship into secular channels. In succeeding generations instrumental players were engaged to provide music for various public functions. Humble bands of Players developed into small orchestras, these in time to sym­phony orchestras. Later, orchestras of the cafe type assumed in­creased numerical strength and more artistic responsibility, while "giving the public what it wants".
