Music was to be found throughout, whether in schools, workhouses of asylums. Its role plays an important part in investigating the balance and tensions inherent in liberal attitudes between controlling the individual and allowing for self-expression and cultural development. In this chapter I investigate examples from public institutions using music for discipline, development and rational recreation. Large pauper institutions such as the workhouse, prison and asylum form the basis for exploring the possible uses of music within the new reforming liberalism. This is followed by a more extended investigation into the role of music within the elementary educational reforms of the 1850s and 1860s, using parliamentary reports, journals and new sources to explore the varying arguments and ideals debated during this period.","PeriodicalId":199006,"journal":{"name":"Music and Victorian Liberalism","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131308964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet social and cultural barriers of all kinds were hidden assertions of power, and one glaring obstacle still remained. \u0000 \u0000Sunday concerts were a social, political and religious issue to the end of the century. The National Sunday League – an anti-sabbatarian alliance of working-class radicals with social reformers, secularists and Unitarians – regarded music as an essential tool. ‘Intellectual and Elevating Recreation’ was offered through oratorio selections at Sunday Evenings for the People, while free band concerts in the parks allied music to the philanthropic open-air movement. \u0000 \u0000Free Sunday concerts of a different kind – serious chamber music – were offered by the South Place Ethical Society, and towards 1900 the cause was taken up by Queen’s Hall, leading to a flood of commercially-oriented orchestral concerts on Sundays. The issue became intertwined with debates about public subsidy of national culture and working-class ‘improvement’, whether through permanent orchestras on the rates or subsidized outdoor band concerts: a striking example of the transition from Victorian voluntarism to the statist interventions of New Liberalism.","PeriodicalId":199006,"journal":{"name":"Music and Victorian Liberalism","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134297724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
