William Wallace Burns
William Wallace Burns (September 3, 1825 – April 19, 1892) was a career American soldier who served in the Union Army during the American Civil War, reaching the rank of brigadier general in the volunteer army. He was among the commanders of the famed Philadelphia Brigade.
Birth and early years
Burns was born in Coshocton, Ohio, son of future U.S. congressman Joseph Burns and a distant relative of George Washington through his mother's family. He entered the United States Military Academy in 1842 and graduated 28th in his class in 1847, a year late due to failing English as a freshman. He accepted a commission as a second lieutenant in the infantry and served in the Mexican-American War without seeing any combat. He was then assigned to various army posts in the Old West and Southwest, marrying in Arkansas in 1849. He served on recruiting duty in Philadelphia from 1854–1856 and then as a regimental Quartermaster in Florida during the Third Seminole War (1856–1857). After the conclusion of that conflict, Burns was part of an expedition sent to Utah in 1857 to quell Mormon unrest. In 1858, he accepted a staff commission to serve as Chief Commissary of Subsistence for Albert Sidney Johnston, with the rank of captain.

William Wallace
Sir William Wallace (Gaelic: Uilleam Uallas; Norman French: William le Waleys; died 23 August 1305) was a Scottish knight who became one of the main leaders during the Wars of Scottish Independence.
Along with Andrew Moray, Wallace defeated an English army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in September 1297. He was appointed Guardian of Scotland and served until his defeat at the Battle of Falkirk in July 1298. In August 1305, Wallace was captured in Robroyston, near Glasgow, and handed over to King Edward I of England, who had him hanged, drawn, and quartered for high treason and crimes against English civilians.
Since his death, Wallace has obtained an iconic status far beyond his homeland. He is the protagonist of Blind Harry's 15th-century epic poem The Wallace and the subject of literary works by Sir Walter Scott and Jane Porter, and of the Academy Award-winning film Braveheart (1995).

William Vincent Wallace
(William) Vincent Wallace (11 March 1812 – 12 October 1865) was an Irish composer and musician. He is mainly known as an opera composer, with key works such as Maritana (1845) and Lurline (1847/60), but he also wrote some virtuoso piano music that was much in vogue in the 19th century.
Early life
Wallace was born at Colbeck Street, Waterford, Ireland. Both of his parents were Irish; his father, of County Mayo, one of four children born in Killala, County Mayo, in 1789 became a regimental bandmaster with the North Mayo Militia based in Ballina. William was born while the band was temporarily stationed for one year in Waterford. The family returned to Ballina some months later and Willam spent his formative years there, taking an active part in his father's band and already composing pieces by the age of nine for the band recitals.
The band, having a reputation for high standards, apart from regimental duties would have featured at social events in big houses in the area. Under the tuition of his father and uncle, he wrote pieces for the bands and orchestras of his native area. Wallace became accomplished in playing various band instruments before moving from Ballina to Dublin in 1823.

Last Rose of Summer Op.74 By William Vincent Wallace, Arr. Raymond Deane (with Score)
Originally I do want to use Rosemary Tuck's recording, but since she has declined the request on permission of her recording, and some problem I have created, concerning about the fair use, she even deleted the video with her recording.... Well, sorry. I won't use your recording and do score video with your recording from your deleted video on YT. Anyway, the piece itself is amazing, just that this piece needs some more attention.

William Vincent Wallace "La Cracovienne" - Richard Bonynge / Rosemary Tuck
Part of a soon-to-be-released CD of Wallace's piano music on Naxos. This is the only piece involving orchestra. Very nice to work with Richard Bonynge again and a fun little session with lots of enthusiastic musicians - The Tait Chamber Orchestra. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to fix a the main frontal shot - hence the shots are a bit inconsistent - had to 'zoom in' on Richard. Oh well.... I was assisted by the ubiquitous James Walsh and this is the third of these Wallace CDs with Rosemary Tuck.

Maritana - the opera by William Vincent Wallace - First Complete Recording (1972) Disc 1
This is a recording made in 1972 of a live performance (with spoken dialogue) by Beaufort Opera conducted by Joseph Vandernoot. Maritana is a grand opera in three acts composed by William Vincent Wallace, with a libretto by Edward Fitzball (1792–1873). The opera is based on the 1844 play Don César de Bazan by Adolphe d'Ennery and Philippe François Pinel Dumanoir, which was also the source material for Jules Massenet's opéra comique Don César de Bazan (the character of Don César de Bazan first appeared in Victor Hugo's Ruy Blas). The opera premiered at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane on 15 November 1845 under Alfred Bunn's management, conducted by Julius Benedict.

William Vincent Wallace (March 11, 1812 - October 12, 1865) was the son of Sergeant William Wallace of Ballina, County Mayo, the bandmaster of the 20th Worcestershire Regiment of the British Army. He was the first of three children.
The family moved back to Ireland after his father retired from the army in 1825. William had been taught many instruments and after they settled in Ireland, got work as second violinist in Dublin's Theatre Royal. He continued to study piano and organ and in 1830, he took a job as organist of Thurles Cathedral and sd professor of music at the Ursuline Convent attached to it. He fell in love with Isabella Kelly, one of his pupils, and converted to Catholicism in response to her family's objections to their marriage on the grounds of his Protestantism. At the time he converted, he took the additional name Vincent, and preferred it over William. He married Isabella in 1831. In that same year, he returned to Dublin to his job at the Theatre Royal, where he heard Paganini play and was stimulated to write his own violin concerto, which he premiered with the Dublin Anacreontic Society in 1824. He, his wife, and his sister-in-law emigrated to Tasmania in 1835, then moved to Sydney, Australia, in January 1836. He took an active part in the city's musical life. At his debut in February, he played both a violin concerto and a piano concerto. Australians consider him their nation's first significant instrumentalist. He, his sister Eliza, and his wife opened an academy of music in Sydney.
In 1838, he left Australia, leaving behind his debts and his wife and son, who are thought to have returned to Ireland. He told stories of adventures in such places as India and New Zealand, but in reality he went to Valparaiso, Chile, where there was an active British population. His presence was, according to Chilean sources, influential in the development of Chilean classical music.
After a while, they started touring and traveled up and down the Americas. In 1841, he reached New Orleans and composed a mass for the cathedral there. He reached New York in 1843 and was enthusiastically received. From there, he went back to Europe, appearing in Germany and Holland, and finally made a debut in the land of his birth in Hanover Square, London, May 8, 1845. He used his singular travels around the world and the fanciful tales that resulted as part of his publicity.
In collaboration with librettist Edward Fitzball, he wrote an opera, Maritana, which used music Wallace had written over the years and was a considerable success. The Illustrated London News said that its tunes were to be heard everywhere. The opera was also played with great success in Dublin and Philadelphia. Some critics, however, commented that it lacked a cohesive style. He wrote other operas, but his next one was a failure and the third, Lurline, subsequently could not find a producer. Wallace continued to be gripped by wanderlust. He developed a serious eye condition and decided that a trip to Brazil would cure it. Oddly, it did. While there, he invested his money into a piano company and when that went broke, he returned to New York. On the way there, his steamship's boiler exploded, but he survived.
He revived his career and around 1850, he married Hélène Stoepel, having found a compliant lawyer who was willing to state an opinion that the marriage to Isabella was invalid, as Wallace had been a minor at the time and therefore not mature enough to make the required religious conversion. By 1858, he was appearing in Germany. In 1859, he raised some needed cash by selling the rights to his unproduced opera Lurline to Pyne and Harrison, no doubt regretting the decision when it became a considerable hit at Covent Garden in 1860. At that point, he primarily turned to writing operas. In 1864, heart pains he had been suffering turned worse and, typically, he decided a change of scene was required. He retired to Passy, France, where he was warmly received by other musical celebrities. He moved to the High Pyrenees and died there in 1865.

This is a recording made in 1972 of a live performance (with spoken dialogue) by Beaufort Opera conducted by Joseph Vandernoot.
Maritana is a grand opera in three acts composed by William Vincent Wallace, with a libretto by Edward Fitzball (1792–1873). The opera is based on the 1844 play Don César de Bazan by Adolphe d'Ennery and Philippe François Pinel Dumanoir, which was also the source material for Jules Massenet's opéra comique Don César de Bazan (the character of Don César de Bazan first appeared in Victor Hugo's Ruy Blas). The opera premiered at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane on 15 November 1845 under Alfred Bunn's management, conducted by Julius Benedict. It was then produced the following year in Dublin and soon in Philadelphia (1848), then in Vienna and New York (1854, 1857, 1865 and 1868). In 1873, Maritana became the first opera produced by the Carl Rosa Opera Company. It was revived in Dublin in 1877, and in London at Her Majesty's Theatre in 1880, in an Italian version by Mattei. A 1902 production was seen at Covent Garden. It was produced again at the London Lyceum in 1925 and at Sadler's Wells in 1931, remaining popular until the middle of the 20th century. It was in the repertoire of the touring opera companies (like the Joseph O'Mara & the Bowyer-Westwood) that toured around Britain and Ireland up to about 1940.
William) Vincent Wallace (11 March 1812 – 12 October 1865) was an Irish composer and musician. He is mainly known as an opera composer, with key works such as Maritana (1845) and Lurline (1847/60), but he also wrote some virtuoso piano music that was much in vogue in the 19th century.
The epitaph on his recently-refurbished headstone now reads "Music is an art that knows no locality but heaven – Wm. V. Wallace”

William Vincent Wallace (March 11, 1812 - October 12, 1865) was the son of Sergeant William Wallace of Ballina, County Mayo, the bandmaster of the 20th Worcestershire Regiment of the British Army. He was the first of three children.
The family moved back to Ireland after his father retired from the army in 1825. William had been taught many instruments and after they settled in Ireland, got work as second violinist in Dublin's Theatre Royal. He continued to study piano and organ and in 1830, he took a job as organist of Thurles Cathedral and sd professor of music at the Ursuline Convent attached to it. He fell in love with Isabella Kelly, one of his pupils, and converted to Catholicism in response to her family's objections to their marriage on the grounds of his Protestantism. At the time he converted, he took the additional name Vincent, and preferred it over William. He married Isabella in 1831. In that same year, he returned to Dublin to his job at the Theatre Royal, where he heard Paganini play and was stimulated to write his own violin concerto, which he premiered with the Dublin Anacreontic Society in 1824. He, his wife, and his sister-in-law emigrated to Tasmania in 1835, then moved to Sydney, Australia, in January 1836. He took an active part in the city's musical life. At his debut in February, he played both a violin concerto and a piano concerto. Australians consider him their nation's first significant instrumentalist. He, his sister Eliza, and his wife opened an academy of music in Sydney.
In 1838, he left Australia, leaving behind his debts and his wife and son, who are thought to have returned to Ireland. He told stories of adventures in such places as India and New Zealand, but in reality he went to Valparaiso, Chile, where there was an active British population. His presence was, according to Chilean sources, influential in the development of Chilean classical music.
After a while, they started touring and traveled up and down the Americas. In 1841, he reached New Orleans and composed a mass for the cathedral there. He reached New York in 1843 and was enthusiastically received. From there, he went back to Europe, appearing in Germany and Holland, and finally made a debut in the land of his birth in Hanover Square, London, May 8, 1845. He used his singular travels around the world and the fanciful tales that resulted as part of his publicity.
In collaboration with librettist Edward Fitzball, he wrote an opera, Maritana, which used music Wallace had written over the years and was a considerable success. The Illustrated London News said that its tunes were to be heard everywhere. The opera was also played with great success in Dublin and Philadelphia. Some critics, however, commented that it lacked a cohesive style. He wrote other operas, but his next one was a failure and the third, Lurline, subsequently could not find a producer. Wallace continued to be gripped by wanderlust. He developed a serious eye condition and decided that a trip to Brazil would cure it. Oddly, it did. While there, he invested his money into a piano company and when that went broke, he returned to New York. On the way there, his steamship's boiler exploded, but he survived.
He revived his career and around 1850, he married Hélène Stoepel, having found a compliant lawyer who was willing to state an opinion that the marriage to Isabella was invalid, as Wallace had been a minor at the time and therefore not mature enough to make the required religious conversion. By 1858, he was appearing in Germany. In 1859, he raised some needed cash by selling the rights to his unproduced opera Lurline to Pyne and Harrison, no doubt regretting the decision when it became a considerable hit at Covent Garden in 1860. At that point, he primarily turned to writing operas. In 1864, heart pains he had been suffering turned worse and, typically, he decided a change of scene was required. He retired to Passy, France, where he was warmly received by other musical celebrities. He moved to the High Pyrenees and died there in 1865.

Originally I do want to use Rosemary Tuck's recording, but since she has declined the request on permission of her recording, and some problem I have created, concerning about the fair use, she even deleted the video with her recording....
Well, sorry. I won't use your recording and do score video with your recording from your deleted video on YT.
Anyway, the piece itself is amazing, just that this piece needs some more attention.
Hope you enjoy.

Part of a soon-to-be-released CD of Wallace's piano music on Naxos. This is the only piece involving orchestra. Very nice to work with Richard Bonynge again and a fun little session with lots of enthusiastic musicians - The Tait Chamber Orchestra. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to fix a the main frontal shot - hence the shots are a bit inconsistent - had to 'zoom in' on Richard. Oh well.... I was assisted by the ubiquitous James Walsh and this is the third of these Wallace CDs with Rosemary Tuck.

This is a recording made in 1972 of a live performance (with spoken dialogue) by Beaufort Opera conducted by Joseph Vandernoot.
Maritana is a grand opera in three acts composed by William Vincent Wallace, with a libretto by Edward Fitzball (1792–1873). The opera is based on the 1844 play Don César de Bazan by Adolphe d'Ennery and Philippe François Pinel Dumanoir, which was also the source material for Jules Massenet's opéra comique Don César de Bazan (the character of Don César de Bazan first appeared in Victor Hugo's Ruy Blas). The opera premiered at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane on 15 November 1845 under Alfred Bunn's management, conducted by Julius Benedict. It was then produced the following year in Dublin and soon in Philadelphia (1848), then in Vienna and New York (1854, 1857, 1865 and 1868). In 1873, Maritana became the first opera produced by the Carl Rosa Opera Company. It was revived in Dublin in 1877, and in London at Her Majesty's Theatre in 1880, in an Italian version by Mattei. A 1902 production was seen at Covent Garden. It was produced again at the London Lyceum in 1925 and at Sadler's Wells in 1931, remaining popular until the middle of the 20th century. It was in the repertoire of the touring opera companies (like the Joseph O'Mara & the Bowyer-Westwood) that toured around Britain and Ireland up to about 1940.
William) Vincent Wallace (11 March 1812 – 12 October 1865) was an Irish composer and musician. He is mainly known as an opera composer, with key works such as Maritana (1845) and Lurline (1847/60), but he also wrote some virtuoso piano music that was much in vogue in the 19th century.
The epitaph on his recently-refurbished headstone now reads "Music is an art that knows no locality but heaven – Wm. V. Wallace”

William Wallace Burns
William Wallace Burns (September 3, 1825 – April 19, 1892) was a career American soldier who served in the Union Army during the American Civil War, reaching the rank of brigadier general in the volunteer army. He was among the commanders of the famed Philadelphia Brigade.
Birth and early years
Burns was born in Coshocton, Ohio, son of future U.S. congressman Joseph Burns and a distant relative of George Washington through his mother's family. He entered the United States Military Academy in 1842 and graduated 28th in his class in 1847, a year late due to failing English as a freshman. He accepted a commission as a second lieutenant in the infantry and served in the Mexican-American War without seeing any combat. He was then assigned to various army posts in the Old West and Southwest, marrying in Arkansas in 1849. He served on recruiting duty in Philadelphia from 1854–1856 and then as a regimental Quartermaster in Florida during the Third Seminole War (1856–1857). After the conclusion of that conflict, Burns was part of an expedition sent to Utah in 1857 to quell Mormon unrest. In 1858, he accepted a staff commission to serve as Chief Commissary of Subsistence for Albert Sidney Johnston, with the rank of captain.

by Horrible Histories
William Wallace
by: Horrible HistoriesI am William Wallace
My life was a mystery
Some say born twelve seven two
Some say twelve sixty three
Was dubbed Malcolm of Paisley
Maybe Alan from Aire
Did I have a wife or no?
Do you really care?
They say I had a big, red beard
But all you need to know
I was a Scottish rebel
And the English were my foe
William Wallace, Scottish rebel!
This is war I cried!
Many English fought me
And many English died!
I took against the English
Back when I was fairly wee
'Cause an Englishman called Selby
Bullied my whole family
It upset me, so I struck him dead
Well, wouldn't you?
Then an English sheriff came along
Guess what, I killed him too!
They say he killed my wife
So he deserved what he got
Then England's King Ed came for me
Ooh, I'm scared! Not!
William Wallace, Scottish rebel!
Possibly six foot seven
But all that really matters is
I sent Englishmen to heaven!
Forty thousand English came
To Stirling Bridge for me
They had to cross a narrow bridge
To get to us, you see
We held them off, pushed them back
It was no contest
Bridge collapsed, hundreds drowned
Of course I killed the rest!
I celebrated Stirling Bridge
Another Scottish win
By decorating my sword
With the English general's skin
William Wallace, Scottish rebel!
Scottish legend too
Fought for Scottish freedom
Was a hero who went through
Here's where my rebel story comes unstuck
At Falkirk defeated, I'd run out of luck
Spent seven years playing hide and seek
Captured, sent to London, tried for treason
What cheek!
King Ed hanged me, then a lovely touch
Pulled my guts out, guess he didn't like me much!
William Wallace, Scottish rebel!
In Scotland my heart lived
Though sadly, my head wound up
On a spike on London Bridge!
