Abstract

On 27 January 1821, Gaspare Spontini, as Kapellmeister to the Prussian monarch Karl Wilhelm III, produced a Festspiel or tableau vivants entitled Lalla Rûkh at the Royal Palace in Berlin. Its performers were drawn from the Royal families of Britain as well as Prussia and Russia, and so it was a social occasion of some importance. The potential of Moore's work to act as a stimulus for contemporary European composers will be explored, with particular reference to the type of musical networks that existed for domestic, chamber, and theatre music at the time. As part of the larger Horizon 2020 project ERIN, this paper will begin to identify the musical and social networks that permitted Moore’s literary work to enjoy a wide-spread and broadly-based presence in 19th century European cultural life.
