1writings contain valuable information concerning Ambrosian song; the book entitled De Musica treats largely of metre. It is printed in Migne, Patrologiae cursus (vol. 32); German translation by C. J. Perl (Strasbourg, 1937); English translation by R. Catesby Taliaferro in 'The Classics of the St. John's Program' (1939). A synopsis of De Musica in English (with commentaries and translated by W. F. Jackson Knight) was published by the Orthological Institute (London, 1949). Cf. J. Huré Saint Augustin Musicien (1924); H. Edelstein Die Musikanschauung Augustins (Freiburg, 1928); W. Hoffmann, Philosophische Interpretation der Augustin-Schrift De Musica (Freiburg, 1930); H. Davenson, Traité de la musique selon l'esprit de Saint Augustin (Neuchâtel, 1944).
3Aulin, Tor, Swedish violinist and composer; b. Stockholm, Sept. 10, 1866; d. there, March 1, 1914. He studied with C. J. Lindberg in Stockholm (1877-83) and with Sauret and Scharwenka in Berlin (1884-86). In 1887 he established the Aulin String Quartet, and traveled with it in Germany and Russia. He was concertmaster at the Stockholm Opera from 1889 till 1902, but continued his concert career, and was considered the greatest Scandinavian violinist since Ole Bull. Aulin was appointed conductor of the Stockholm Philharmonic Soc. in 1902; became leader of the Göteborg Orch. in 1909. As conductor and violinist, he made determined propaganda for Swedish composers. He wrote incidental music to Strindberg's Mäster Olof, 3 violin concertos, several suites of Swedish dances for orch., violin sonata, a violin method and songs. His sister Laura Aulin (b. Gävle, Jan. 9, 1860; d. Örebro, Jan. 11, 1928), was a well known pianist; she also composed chamber and piano music.
5Aurelianus Reomensis, French scholar; monk at Réôme in the 9th century. His treatise Musica disciplina (published by Gerbert in 'Scriptores,' Vol. I) contains the earliest information on the melodic character of the church modes. See H. Riemann, Handbuch der Musikgeschichte (Leipzig, 1919, vol. I).
7Auric (oh-rēk), Georges, French composer; b. Lodève, Feb. 15, 1899. He studied in Paris with Vincent d'Indy and Roussel, but began to compose even before receiving formal tuition. Between the ages of 12 and 16 he wrote some 300 songs and piano pieces; at 18 he wrote the ballet Les Noces de Gamache; at 20 a comic opera La Reine de cœur, but destroyed the MS. Influenced mainly by Erik Satie, he pursued the type of composition that would, in his own words, produce "auditory pleasure without demanding a disproportionate effort from the listener." Auric became associated with Milhaud, Poulenc, Honegger and others in the celebrated group "Lcs Six." He wrote music for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, and later for other ballet companies. In 1931 he composed a highly successful score for the film A nous la liberté; another effective film score was Moulin Rouge (1952). He has also been active as music critic in 'Paris Soir' and 'Nouvelles littéraires.' Works: Ballets: Les Fâcheux (Monte Carlo, Jan. 19, 1924); Les Matelots (Paris, June 17, 1925); La Pastorale (Paris, May 26, 1926); Les Enchantements d'Alcine (Paris, May 21, 1929); Les Imaginaires (Paris, May 31, 1934); La Peintre et son modèle (Paris, Nov. 16, 1949); La Pierre enchantée (Paris, June 23, 1950); Chemin de Lumière (Munich, March 27, 1952); Coup de feu (Paris, May 7, 1952).—Bibl.: Boris de Schloezer, Georges Auric, in 'La Revue Musicale' (Jan., 1926).
9Aus der Ohe, Adele, German pianist; b. Hanover, Dec. 11, 1864; d. Berlin, Dec. 7, 1937. She studied as a child with Kullak in Berlin; at the age of 12 became a pupil of Liszt for seven years. She then played concerts in Europe; made her American debut with Liszt's 1st piano concerto in New York (Dec. 23, 1886) and continued her American tours for 17 consecutive years. She played 51 times with the Boston Symph. Orch. between 1887 and 1906. One of the highlights of her career was her appearance as soloist in Tchaikovsky's 1st piano concerto under Tchaikovsky's own direction at his last concert (St. Petersburg, Oct. 28, 1893). Because of a crippling illness, she was forced to abandon her concert career; she lost her accumulated earnings in the German currency inflation in the 1920's, and from 1928 till her death, subsisted on a pension from the Bagby Music Lovers Foundation of New York.
11Austin, Ernest, English composer, brother of Frederick Austin; b. London, Dec. 31, 1874; d. Wallington, Surrey, July 24, 1947. He had no formal musical education; began to compose at the age of 33 after a business career. His compositions, therefore, acquired an experimental air; he was particularly interested in a modern treatment of old English tunes.—Works (about 90 in all): The Vicar of Bray for string orch. (1910); Hymn of Apollo for chorus and orch. (Leeds, 1918); Stella Mary Dances (London, 1918); Ode on a Grecian Urn, after Keats (1922); 14 Sonatinas on English folk songs for
