Harry Champion - Work, Boys, Work (and Be Contented) / Doctor Shelley (1915)
Many of the early music-hall records, including a lot of these Harry Champion's, were made avilable on multiple labels at the same time of within short periods, sometimes with different track pairings leading to a lot of duplication. Chmpion released the same tracks for labels like Ariel, Favourite, Pathe, John Bull, Zonophone, Winner, Coliseum and Homochord. Later the main labels for him were Regal and Columbia.
William Crump (1866 -- January 14, 1942), better known by the stage name Harry Champion, was a famous British music hall composer and star. Born in Shoreditch, London, he first appeared in a music hall at the age of 15, at the Queens Hall, Poplar. In 1888 he changed his stage name from Will Conray, and with a wide repertoire of songs, many of them sung at breakneck speed and often about the joys of food, became one of music hall's most successful artists. His songs became some of the most famous Cockney songs.
After his "golden period" of 1910 to 1915, the Great War changed tastes and Champion and other music hall performers declined in popularity. In 1930 they regained their popularity and Champion returned to performing after ten years of retirement. Enjoying popularity throughout the 1930s, Champion started to perform on the radio in the later part of the decade but continuous performing exhausted him by late 1941 and he retired to a nursing home in London, where he died the next year.
He is buried in East Finchley Cemetery.

Eileen Farrell sings "Knoxville: Summer of 1915" - part I of II
Part 1: Here is the beginning of a radio broadcast from 1949 with Eileen Farrell singing Samuel Barber's "Knoxville: Summer of 1915" (the original version) with Bernard Herrmann conducting the CBS Symphony Orchestra. Unfortunately, the work is longer than YouTube's video clip allowance of 15 minutes. I tried to split the performance in the best spot possible for the music's sake. There is no great spot to break the work, but hopefully between the two parts of this performance one will be able to enjoy this rare performance.

"It has become the time of evening
when people sit on their porches,
rocking gently and talking gently
and watching the street
and the standing up
into their sphere of possession of the trees,
of birds' hung havens, hangers.
People go by; things go by.
A horse, drawing a buggy, breaking his hollow iron music on the asphalt;
a loud auto; a quiet auto;
people in pairs, not in a hurry,
scuffling, switching their weight of aestival body, talking casually,
the taste hovering over them of vanilla, strawberry, pasteboard and starched milk,
the image upon them of lovers and horsemen, squared with clowns in hueless amber.
A streetcar raising its iron moan:
stopping, belling and starting; stertorous; rousing and raising again its iron increasing moan
and swimming its gold windows and straw seats on past and past and past,
the bleak spark crackling and cursing above it like a small malignant spirit set to dog its tracks;
the iron whine rises on rising speed;
still risen, faints; halts; the faint stinging bell;
rises again, still fainter, fainter, lifting, lifts, faints forgone: forgotten.
Now is the night one blue dew.
Now is the night one blue dew,
my father has drained,
now he has coiled the hose.
Low on the length of lawns,
a frailing of fire who breathes ...
Parents on porches: rock and rock.
From damp strings morning glories hang their ancient faces.
The dry and exalted noise of the locusts from all the air at once enchants my eardrums.
On the rough wet grass of the backyard my father and mother have spread quilts.
We all lie there, my mother, my father, my uncle, my aunt, and I too am lying there ...
They are not talking much, and the talk is quiet,
of nothing in particular, of nothing at all in particular, of nothing at all.
The stars are wide and alive, they seem each like a smile of great sweetness, and they seem very near.
All my people are larger bodies than mine, ...
with voices gentle and meaningless like the voice of sleeping birds.
One is an artist, he is living at home.
One is a musician, she is living at home.
One is my mother who is good to me.
One is my father who is good to me.
By some chance, here they are, all on this earth;
and who shall ever tell the sorrow of being on this earth,
lying, on quilts, on the grass, in a summer evening, among the sounds of the night.
May God bless my people, my uncle, my aunt, my mother, my good father,
oh, remember them kindly in their time of trouble;
and in the hour of their taking away.
After a little I am taken in and put to bed.
Sleep, soft smiling, draws me unto her:
and those receive me, who quietly treat me,
as one familiar and well-beloved in that home:
but will not, no ,will not, not now, not ever;
but will not ever tell me who I am."

Public Domain Universe's goal is to collect free videos (usually movies, but also videos of any kind) and personally enhance them (just minor restoration, which can truly make a difference sometimes, but no addition), if possible and needed, for better audiovisual output for your convenience.
YouTube is our platform of choice; a great platform because it is well-known by the general public, easy to use and open to discussion (at least, PDU videos are open to video responses and comments, always).
Discussion is important because the works in these videos are often not well-known or could have been forgotten by time. Their free status does allow easy distribution though, which they should benefit from.
These videos are free because the work you see in them never were copyrighted or they have lost their copyright status for various reasons (usually because of their age), so you can do what you want with them, even use them commercially (when something truly is in the public domain) without even needing to refer back here (since PDU too doesn't own them).

Scaffold Safety Problems 1915
The dangers of working on scaffolds as been well known for almost 100 years. So it is sad that scaffold-related accidents still cause 4,500 injuries and 50 deaths every year in construction in the United States alone. For information on current OSHA standards for scaffolds, go to http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/scaffolding/standards.html . The 1915 report mentioned in this clip, A treatise on safety engineering as applied to scaffolds, from the from the Travelers Insurance Company is in the public domain and available at http://www.archive.org/details/treatiseonsafety00travrich . From its preface: The experience and observation of THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY, extending over many years, indicates that the scaffold accidents by which men are killed or injured in the United States would be found to far exceed one a day, if they could all be included; and in view of this fact, and of the further fact, already noted, that scaffolding has practically no literature at the present time, it was thought best to devote one entire volume of THE TRAVELERS' series to it, as a contribution toward the establishment of a standard approved practice, in the interest of
increased safety. Scaffolds are employed widely and by many different classes of workmen; but as they are erected for temporary use only, they seldom receive the thoughtful consideration that is given to permanent structures. They are badly designed and badly built, as a rule, and all too often the materials that are used in them are poor in quality and deficient in size and quantity. In fact there appears to be a wide-spread and almost universal belief to the effect that a scaffold is not worth serious study; that anybody who can drive nails can build one that will serve; and that anything that may happen to be at hand is good enough to go into it. The result is, that bricklaying, carpenter work, painting, decorating, and many other operations in which men must work at some considerable height, and life and limb are constantly at stake, are often performed by the aid of scaffolds that are distinctly dangerous, and altogether unfit for the purpose for which they were intended. The very fact that scaffolds must be erected is sometimes entirely overlooked in making bids for building operations and other extensive work of a similar nature, and it is by no means uncommon for a sub -contract or to make no provision of his own for the materials for his scaffolds, but to rely upon picking up something about the job that will serve his purpose. These remarks are not inspired by mere pessimism. They are plain uncolored statements of facts. This clip is from the 1994 OSHA Office of Construction & Engineering video, Basic look at scaffolds for compliance officers. The 21 minute video discusses OSHA requirements for scaffolding and scaffold construction. The entire film has been digitized by the nonprofit Public.Resource.Org (http://public.resource.org/index.html ) in a cooperative agreement with the National Technical Information Service (http://public.resource.org/ntis.gov/index.html ) and is available at the Internet Archive at www.archive.com .

Zoltán Kodály - Sonata for Solo Cello, I
Sonata for solo cello, Op. 8 (1915)
I. Allegro maestoso ma appassionato
II. Adagio
III. Allegro molto vivace
Yo-Yo Ma, cello
Kodály's Sonata for solo cello of 1915 is perhaps the first major work for unaccompanied cello after Bach's six great suites of almost 200 years earlier. The sonata, in three movements totaling about half an hour, synthesizes many of the musical interests Kodály was exploring at this early time in his career. Since becoming a professor of composition at Budapest's Royal Academy of Music in 1908, most of his compositions had been chamber works for strings; the Cello Sonata is perhaps the most ambitious of the early string works. The sonata exhibits Kodály's interest in the music of Claude Debussy, which he had encountered while studying in Paris a couple of years before. Hints of the style of Béla Bartók, Kodály's good friend, can likewise be discerned. The sounds and inflections of Hungarian folk music also play a prominent role; Kodály was passionately interested in the folk music of his native land and several years earlier had started taking regular trips around the country, many with Bartók, collecting, recording, and transcribing folk songs and dances.
Kodály was declared unfit for military service in World War I; during those years he worked with a volunteer group put in charge of defending the chief monuments in Budapest, while continuing his studies in Hungarian folk music and composing. Due to the war, the sonata, once completed, had to wait three years for its first performance. The cellist to whom the sonata is dedicated, Jenö Kerpely, gave that premiere in Budapest on May 7, 1918.
The sonata begins with a very serious-minded Allegro maestoso ma appassionato, featuring big gestures and alternating between anger and acquiescence. The second movement, Adagio con grand' espressione, begins with a dark, meandering melodic line accompanied by occasional resonant pizzicati. After a much more aggressive central section, the music slows again and works its way to a spare and haunting conclusion. With the third movement, Allegro molto vivace, the listener is plunged into the world of Hungarian folk music. This headlong, vigorous, and diverse movement is full of virtuoso passages featuring pizzicati, double stops, and fast repeated notes and runs, and makes for an exciting conclusion.
In a 1921 article titled "The New Music of Hungary," Béla Bartók wrote of this sonata: "No other composer has written music that is at all similar to this type of work... Here Kodály is expressing, with the simplest possible technical means, ideas that are completely original. It is precisely the complexity of the problem that offered him the opportunity of creating an original and unusual style, with its surprising effects of vocal type; though quite apart from these effects the musical value of the work is brilliantly apparent."

Griffes - The Pleasure-Dome of Kubla-Khan (1915)
The Pleasure-Dome of Kubla-Khan (1915)
A work for solo piano by American composer Charles Tomlinson Griffes (1884-1920). In his short life, Griffes evolved from a Wagnerite and protégé of Engelbert Humperdinck into a composer of remarkably distinctive, atmospheric, somewhat jazz-influenced piano music. "The Pleasure-Dome of Kubla-Khan" is, of course, based on the famous poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge "Kubla Khan." Ferruccio Busoni suggested to Griffes that he orchestrate this work as a symphonic poem, and in this form "The Pleasure-Dome of Kubla-Khan" brought Griffes considerable success and recognition.
Pianist: Michael Lewin
Kubla Khan (by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced:
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail:
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean:
And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war!
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves;
Where was heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves.
It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice!
A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw:
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight 'twould win me,
That with music loud and long,
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.

Sergei Taneyev (1856-1915): Mozart - Fantasy in C minor K.396
Sergei Taneyev was a student of Tchaikowsky and Rubinstein. He was a brilliant pianist, premiering works by major composers of his time. He was later a teacher of composition and piano at the Moscow Conservatory, later becoming the director of the Conservatory. His pupils there included Glière, Scriabin and Rachmaninoff.
This recording of Taneyev playing Mozart's C minor Fantasy was made onto an Edison cylinder in 1891 by the pioneering Russian entrepeneur Julius Block. It is just the first part of the work: the cylinder was too short to record the whole work.

Pursued both social and national liberation. Fida act according to certain principles, which were later compiled and presented Andranik in its "combat manuals." Fida swore (UGT) to spare no lives for the motherland and the people, to be truthful, morally clean, to respect the mystery entrusted to them, to keep in order guns, shoot straight, settle modest food, not to drink alcoholic beverages, with respect to the working people, to be brave and resourceful in battle, defeating the enemy, even if he has a numerical superiority.
