The 1880s and 1890s
View through CrossRef
New York grew dramatically in population and musical activity in the 1880s and 1890s. Bristow was still respected and admired but now as a venerable musician who was out-of-step with current developments (he was never a Wagnerian). His performing activity diminished; he resigned from the Philharmonic Society in 1882. He joined the New York Manuscript Society, suggesting continued support for American musicians. He resumed writing songs and character pieces for piano (including “Plantation Melodies,” perhaps in response to Antonin Dvořák). He revised Rip Van Winkle and wrote the overture Jibbenainosay (1886) as well as the Mass in C (1885) and his choral symphony, Niagara (1893).
