Scholar and composer Emil Naumann (1827 88) studied with
Mendelssohn, and his compositions reflect the style of his teacher.
He published several works on musical aesthetics and history, of
which Illustrierte Musikgeschichte, written between 1880 and 1885,
is his best known. It went through many editions and this English
translation, first published in 1888, was prepared by the composer,
pianist and writer Ferdinand Praeger (1815 91). To rectify the
work's marked neglect of English music, chapters were added by its
editor, the eminent Victorian musician Sir Frederick Gore Ouseley
(1825 89), Professor of Music at Oxford. Lavishly illustrated and
with musical examples throughout, this two-volume history was
intended to 'aid in fostering ever-increasing interest in the most
emotional and cherished of all the arts'. Volume 1 covers the music
of ancient civilisations through to the eighteenth century.

Sir Frederick Arthur Gore Ouseley (1825 1889), English church
musician, composer, Professor of Music at Oxford and Precentor of
Hereford Cathedral, is best remembered for the foundation of St
Michael's College, Tenbury, and its extensive music library in
1856. Here he was concerned to maintain the tradition of sung daily
offices and to provide a model for others to follow. This book,
first published in 1868, is the first of Ouseley's three works on
music theory, and offers a structured approach to the subject,
beginning with an explanation of musical notation and the harmonic
series, then moving through the rules of harmony from tonic and
dominant triads, to chord inversions, augmentation, diminution,
modulation, the use of suspensions, pivot notes and cadence
sequences. Of interest to music students and historians, the book
contains exercises for the student and an appendix giving a number
of musical examples.
