	George Whitefield Chadwick - Aphrodite
		George Whitefield Chadwick was one of America’s earliest composers of real importance and an eminent connoisseur and a master in the field of musical characterization for the orchestra.
		Chadwick’s Symphonic Fantasy, Aphrodite, was composed immediately after his Symphonic Suite in E flat, which had taken him many years to complete.
		Chadwick later withdrew these programme notes and substituted a short poem by way of introduction to the score, which experts agree to have been written by him.

	IHAS: Composer
		In 1877 Chadwick embarked on the pilgrimage which was considered de rigeur for American musicians; he sailed for Germany to study in Leipzig and Munich with such famous pedagogues as Rheinberger.
		From 1877 to his appointment to the Directorship of the New England Conservatory in 1897, Chadwick built his career as a Boston teacher, organist, and composer.
		Chadwick's compositional style has been dubbed "Boston Classicism." Though there is a distinct academic foundation to his music, his works also reflect a certain Yankee bluntness and retain the hints of his colorful vagabond days.

		George Whitefield Chadwick was proud of his old New England stock, traceable to 1630.
		As a young man Chadwick heard the premire of Paines First Symphony and was inspired with the idea that an American could compose symphonies.
		Chadwicks music was inspired at first by such masters as Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms and Wagner, and later also by French influences, but he fused these into a personal style growing out of his familiarity with hymn tunes and folk-dances, and popular music.

	SoundStage! Chadwick - Aphrodite, Suite Symphonique
		American composer George Whitefield Chadwick (1854-1931), renowned in his day as the "dean of American composers," is all but unknown today.
		The irony is, Chadwick was the first one to write this kind of music, but the last one to be noticed, at least by me. Perhaps Chadwick’s version of Americana has been recycled too many times for my taste.
		The fourth movement, "The Lovers," indicates a tempo of "Andante amoroso." It certainly sounds amorous to me. I suspect that Chadwick was capable of a greater depth of romantic feeling than he displayed in most of his composition.

	WFU \| Window on Wake Forest \| 2005
		Chadwick, a high-profile composer in the 1890s and early 1900s, slipped into obscurity after his death in 1931, as the works of George Gershwin and Aaron Copland grew increasingly popular.
		Educator, administrator, organist, conductor, and principal composer of the Second New England School, Chadwick was one of the first composers to attempt to define American music at a time when listening to American music, according to Kairoff, meant hiring a German conductor and playing Beethoven.
		Chadwick's pieces draw from African-American music, folk melodies, and ragtime—influences that distinguish Chadwick's compositions from those of European composers.

	classical music - andante - george whitefield chadwick
		George Whitefield Chadwick (1854–1931), a major player on the turn-of-the-last-century Boston musical scene, had some undeniable gifts as a composer: he could orchestrate beautifully, with brilliance of sound appropriate to the material; he knew how to pace a piece; above all, he could write good tunes.
		Chadwick had an ear for the orchestra, and Schermerhorn finds his way in and out of all the tone colors, pacing things properly and allowing melodic ideas to bounce off one another.
		Though Chadwick's style was ultimately trumped by Copland's starker, more French-inspired modernism (not to mention two wars with Germany), this is music that ought not to be overlooked.

		Chadwick was certainly able to craft large-scale forms when he wanted to, as he did in his symphonies and chamber works to great effect.

		But this is really a benefit, I think, because Chadwicks work as a whole stands solidly grounded and connected to its own creative strength, originality, and idiom.
		As you can guess if youre not familiar with this valuable series from Naxos, the majority of the music recorded is not quite classic in status, but even if Naxos digs up forgotten music that cries out to be heard again, theyre more than doing their job, as far as Im concerned.
		As Naxosnotes to the recording say, "Chadwick became the fist composer of concert music whose works often show the snap, the wit, the independence of the American." Look no further than the two finest pieces on the disc, Euterpe and and Thalia, for a confirmation of this assessment.

	SoundStage! Chadwick - Symphony No. 2; Symphonic Sketches
		Amid the constant repetitions of the Brandenburgs, the endless parade of The Four Seasons, and the mind-numbing pile-up of Beethoven cycles, the "rediscovery" of the music of George Whitefield Chadwick (1854-1931) has been one of the happiest benefactions bestowed on open-eared listeners in the last couple of decades.
		It has not been a groundswell to match the outpourings of recorded Ives and Nielsen back in the 1960s and ‘70s, but we’ve been offered ample evidence of why Chadwick was so highly regarded by his contemporaries and, perhaps more to the point, why audiences so enjoyed his music.
		The annotation included with this CD refers to parts of Chadwick’s Second Symphony as being "Dvorák-flavored.” Similarities between these two composers are always being noted, the general assumption being that the American admired the Czech master enough to imitate him.
