 Music Associates of America ~ Incidental Music by Hugo Distler Discovered   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The incidental music to Ludwig Tieck’s fairytale drama Bluebeard by Hugo Distler (1908-1942), long believed to be lost, was surprisingly rediscovered in the summer of 1999 when the autograph score of the Overture to Act I showed up in Lübeck.
The celebrated director Jürgen Fehling commissioned Distler in 1940 to compose incidental music to Tieck’s infrequently performed fairytale in four acts (1797) for Berlin’s Schiller Theater.
The music to Bluebeard, distributed by his principal publisher, Bärenreiter-Verlag, lends it self to concert or semistaged performance as well as the originally intended accompaniment to Tieck’s play.

 Polish Music Journal 5.2.02 - Labunski: Poland's Contribution to Music
The first half of the 18th century was characterized in Poland by the growth of secular music, the further development of instrumental music and the shifting of art patronage from the court to the wealthy magnates and landlords.
This period was marked by the development of symphonic music and produced several distinguished composers: W³adys³aw ¯eleñski (1839-1920) chiefly known as the author of the opera "Goplana," and of symphonic and chamber music.
[12] Their music is remarkable for its model character and unusual scales, derived from Polish folk music; by its fresh and vigorous rhythm; by its humor and healthy objectivism, all in keeping with the spirit of the new Poland, a spirit of action, optimism and self-reliance.

 bjup.com -- Balance -- Incidentally . . . Some Thoughts about Incidental Music on Television
Here comes the point: without ever listening to good, classical music for music's sake, we kids of the thirties and forties absorbed a lot of culture and were programmed to enjoy and appreciate it when in later years we explored the musical classics more fully.
The music is part and parcel of the message--and sometimes the message of the music is even stronger than the words or the action of the drama.
The music, the lighting, the camera angles, the pacing, the editing--all combine with the words and action to preach a powerful message of "lifestyle" that is humanistic, hedonistic, existentialistic--and certainly antithetical to Scriptural principles.

 Henry PURCELL: Music for the London Theatre CD
Most of Purcell's theatre music was written between 1690 and 1695 (the year of his death), and within that relatively brief period he supplied music for more than forty plays.
This body of music, viewed as a whole, shows that Purcell gave to the theatre some of his happiest melodic inspirations, distributed among solemn overtures, cheerful or pathetic airs, and delightful dances of every imaginable kind.
All of the music on this CD was thus composed expressly for the pleasure and enjoyment of a critical audience, whether at the theater or the public chamber music concerts.
