	GIACOMO MEYERBEER
		But, of course, Mendelssohn regarded Meyerbeer with the same disdain that he had for Pacini and Bellini, and Schumann as well as Wagner were only too pleased to follow in his footsteps.
		Robert le Diable was not only to catapult Meyerbeer into a renown eclipsing that of Rossini for nearly a century, but was also to have a very significant effect on the history of the art form to the extent that it was a factor in causing Rossini to retire from composing any more operas.
		Meyerbeer was to become less than happy in Berlin over the next few years, partly because he did not get along well with his immediate "superior", the intendant Kützner, and partly because he felt that conditions at the opera house were deteriorating.

		It was the first of its race, a grand romantic opera, with situations more theatrically effective than any that had been attempted either by Luigi Cherubini or Rossini, and with ballet music such as had never yet been heard, even in Paris.
		Meyerbeer had shown himself so eminently successful in his treatment of the supernatural that one regretted the omission of that element; and, more important still, the fifth act proved to be an anti-climax.
		Meanwhile Meyerbeer accepted the appointment of kapellmeister to the King of Prussia, and spent some years at Berlin, where he produced Ein Feldlager in Schlesien, a German opera, in which Jenny Lind made her first appearance in Prussia.

		Giacomo Meyerbeer (1791-1864) was born Jacob Meyer Beer in a covered wagon in which his mother was travelling from Berlin to Frankfurt, a presentiment of his travelling career.

		Meyerbeer's success as an opera composer can be ascribed not only to his craftsmanship and melodic and colouristic invention, but to an unerring sense, shared by his favoured librettist Eugene Scribe, of giving the public what it wanted.

		The words are by Edward Kley, tutor of the Meyerbeer children and preacher at the temple.
		Edward Kley (1789-1867), born in Silesia, educated in Breslau, served as a tutor in the Beer* household from 1807 to 1817, at the same time acting as one of the preachers of the private Reform Temple in the home of early Reform leader Israel Jacobson.
		Among the letters from Kley to Meyerbeer, one dated October 31, 1815, reads in part, "Your Hallelujah, or better, our Hallelujah, has not been heard yet, for lack of a decent organ." The "Hallelujah" was probably prepared for use at the inaugural, or an early service of the temple in the Beer home.

		This alludes to German operatic composer Giacomo Meyerbeer's (1791-1864) opera Les Huguenots.
		Perhaps Bloom is thinking of the "Benediction of Swords" scene (usually in act IV), in which St. Bris sings an aria beginning "D'un sacro zel I'adore." The chorus Bloom recalls with his "Tara tara" is probably the well-known "Rataplan" chorus of the Huguenot soldiers which usually opens act III.

		My attitude towards Meyerbeer, about whom I knew precious little except what I had been told by a bunch of "great experts", all of whom, of course, were "perfect Wagnerites", had long been both negative and dismissive.
		Incidentally, Meyerbeer, who had independent means (His vast fortune dwarfed that of the Mendelssohn-Bartholdys, and, what's more, was "old" money.), at one point tried to save Sax from bankruptcy by paying him a substantial sum, evidently with "no strings attached".
		Since the director of the edition would like to be as true to the original as possible while at the same time using our modern instruments, he would like to know if there are trumpets or cornets à piston with exchangeable parts which could be used when performing these very difficult passages.
