Beschreibung

18 November, 1741. George Frideric Handel, one of the world's greatest composers, arrives in Dublin – the second city of the Empire – to prepare his masterpiece, Messiah, for its maiden performance the following spring …In Hallelujah, Jonathan Bardon, one of Ireland's leading historians, explores the remarkable circumstances surrounding the first performance of Handel's now iconic oratorio in Dublin, providing a panoramic view of a city in flux – at once struggling to contain the chaos unleashed by the catastrophic famine of the preceding year while striving to become a vibrant centre of European culture and commerce.Brimming with drama, curiosity and intrigue, and populated by an unforgettable cast of characters, Hallelujah tells of how one charitable performance wove itself into the fabric of Ireland's capital, changing the course of musical history and the lives of those who called the city home.

    Oh, we love the halls of Ivy that surround us here today. And, we will not forget though we be far, far away. 
    From the creator of the Fibber McGee & Molly radio program, The Halls of Ivy presents real-life husband and wife Ronald Colman and Benita Hume as the first couple of Ivy College: William Toddhunter (“Toddy”) Hall and his wife, Victoria (“Vicky”) Cromwell Hall, a former actress of the British comedy stage. 
    Although President Hall is an erudite and polished professor, he is completely unpretentious and truly concerned for the well-being of the students and faculty. Vicky – who is always at his side, and on his side – keeps her husband in check with her playful and down to earth ways. 
    When called upon to stand behind beleaguered students, practice politics with integrity, address the ever-pressing need to fill the school’s coffers, or even sort out affairs of the heart, the couple faces the challenge with a warmth, wit, and wisdom unmatched on any other sitcom of the day. 
    This cultured collection contains eight digitally restored and remastered episodes; performances by Herb Butterfield, Willard Waterman, Gale Gordon, Arthur Q. Bryan, Gloria Gordon, and Alan Reed. 
    Episodes Include: Student Thief 02-24-50, Merton Savada’s Crush 03-03-50, Victoria’s New Review 03-10-50, Dirty Politics 03-17-50, Professor Gearhart’s Secret 03-24-50, Chamber Music Knockwurst Society 03-31-50, Toddy Plays Hookey 04-07-50, Lost Dog 04-14-50
