Extractions: ELEVENTH VOLU BISHARIN (the anc. Ic/ithyophagi), a nomad tribe of African Arabs, of Hamitic origin, dwelling in the eastern part of the Nubian desert. In the middle ages they were known as Beja (q.v.), and they are the most characteristic of the Nubian Arabs. With the Abäbda and Hadendoa they represent the Blemmyes of classical writers. Linguistically and geographically the BisharIn form a connecting link between the Hamitic populations and the Egyptians. Nominally they are Mahommedans. They, however, preserve some non-Islamic religious practices, and exhibit traces of animal-worship in their rule of never killing the serpent or the partridge, which are regarded as sacred. Iv. I EDITION ~vIEIV he resigned the office in 1843. He was knighted in 1842, being the first musician who ever received that honour. In 1848 he succeeded Dr Crotch in the chair of music at Oxford. The music for the ode on the occasion of the installation of Lord Derby as chancellor of the university (1853) proved to be his last work. He died on the 3oth of April 1855 inimpoverished circumstances, though few composers ever made more by their labours. Bishop was twice married: to Miss Lyon and Miss Anne Rivière. Both he and his wives were singers. His name lives in connexion with his numerous glees, songs and smaller compositions. His melodies are clear, flowing, appropriate and often charming; and his harmony is always pure, simple and sweet. See Anna M. Stoddart, The Life of Isabella Bird (1906).

BUY NOW AmazonUK AmazonUS Henry Bishop (1786-1855) is largely neglected, if not derided, but he does have a number of claims to fame. He composed, or at least used in one of his operas, Home Sweet Home . He was the first to be knighted (by Queen Victoria, in 1842) for services to music. He wrote many attractive Shakespeareinspired songs, some of which I first encountered some 50 years ago.
Extractions: Little of the music of Henry Rowley Bishop (1786-1855) is now heard apart from the ever-popular Home Sweet Home. I have happy memories from my young days of some of his songs for Shakespeare productions which under him became "ballad operas". Lo Here the Gentle Lark is known from Galli-Curci's famous 78 recording. Bid Me Discourse is on another 78, by Margaret Ritchie as is Should He Upbraid. The first and third of these are present here, most beautifully sung by Susan Bickley, who, along with another-equally stylish and delightful soprano, Julia Gooding, are the most featured soloists with nine and five tracks respectively, one of them a splendid duet version of Orpheus With His Lute Andrew King is the most prominent male soloist; all the singers, fifteen soloists and a chorus, do well, as do the orchestra who play from an edition prepared from Bishop's own score in the British Library. In this sense the recordings are world premieres though very few, apart from Lo Here the Gentle Lark , have been recorded anywhere before. Three of the nineteen tracks are Bishop's arrangements from Ravenscroft/Morley, Arne and J.C. Smith. His own compositions reflect the influence of Mozart and enjoyably so, even if Bishop's undoubted talent never approaches Mozart's genius. Some orchestral touches, like the glass harmonica part in one of the two
