In nineteenth-century British society music and musicians were
organized as they had never been before. This organization was
manifested, in part, by the introduction of music into powerful
institutions, both out of belief in music's inherently beneficial
properties, and also to promote music occupations and professions
in society at large. This book provides a representative and varied
sample of the interactions between music and organizations in
various locations in the nineteenth-century British Empire,
exploring not only how and why music was institutionalized, but
also how and why institutions became 'musicalized'. Individual
essays explore amateur societies that promoted music-making;
institutions that played host to music-making groups, both amateur
and professional; music in diverse educational institutions; and
the relationships between music and what might be referred to as
the 'institutions of state'. Through all of the essays runs the
theme of the various ways in which institutions of varying
formality and rigidity interacted with music and musicians, and the
mutual benefit and exploitation that resulted from that
interaction.
