Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book continues the history of Boston's Handel and Haydn Society from 1893, when Charles Perkins, John Dwight, and William Bradbury left off. The author draws from records, concert programs, and newspaper reviews to provide a comprehensive account of the Society's life between 1903 and 1933. The book explores the Society's performances, from classics like Handel's Messiah to lesser-known works like Dubois's Paradise Lost, as well as their campaigns to establish a permanent home--a goal that had eluded them for nearly a century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
