8BULL, OLE BORNEMANN (Feb. 5, 1810, Bergen, Norway : Aug. 17, 1880, Lysoén, near Bergen). See article in Vol. i. 418-9. His first concert in America was on Nov. 23, 1843. The first tour included Havana as well as the eastern United States. It lasted nearly two years, the concerts numbered over 200 and the receipts were about $400,000. His second trip was in 1852, and it was then that he made the ill-fated purchase of the tract in Pennsylvania which he named Oleana, hoping 'to found a New Norway, consecrated to freedom, baptized in independence, and protected by the mighty flag of the Union.' On this trip he went to California, via Panama, and his fellow-travelers were Adelina Patti and Maurice Strakosch. For about two months early in 1855 he was lessee of the Academy of Music in New York, and offered a prize of $1000 for 'a grand opera by an American composer on an American subject.' After the collapse of the colony-scheme and the ensuing litigation he returned to Bergen in the autumn of 1857. In 1867 came his third trip, in which the first concert was in Chicago. In 1868 he married Sara Chapman Thorp in Wisconsin. [She wrote his biography, Ole Bull — A Memoir, 1883, and died on Jan. 18, 1911, at Cambridge, Mass.] After spending the summer of 1872 in Norway, in the autumn he returned for the fourth time. This trip was but one year in duration. His last tour was in 1879-80, with Emma Thursby. See biography by Vik, Bergen, 1890. [R.4]

Returning to Boston, he lived there as teacher of harmony and counterpoint and composer. Of his forty published songs the best-known are 'In the Greenwood,' 'A June Lullaby,' 'From Dreams of Thee,' 'At Daybreak,' 'Hymn of Pan,' 'On the Way,' 'The Sword of Ferrara,' 'The Singer,' 'The Hermit' and 'The Stein Song.'

16BUREAU OF EDUCATION, THE, which is a division of the Interior Department of the National Government, has shown its interest in the promotion of music in public institutions by the issue of Bulletins on 'The Study of Music in Public Schools,' 1886, 'Music-Education in the United States,' by Arthur L. Manchester, 1908, and 'Music in the Public Schools,' by Will Earhart, 1914. Another, on the Music-Libraries of the country, is almost ready.
17BURLEIGH, CECIL (Apr. 17, 1885, Wyoming, N. Y.), after preliminary violin-study with L. E. Hersey in Bloomington, Ill., in 1903-05 was in Berlin, studying violin with Witek and composition with Leichtentritt. Two years were then spent in Chicago, where his teachers were Sauret and Herrmann for violin and Borowski for composition. Then came two years of concert-work and two of violin-teaching at the Western Institute of Music and Dramatic Art in Denver. He taught violin and theory at Morningside College in Sioux City, Ia., in 1911-14, and at the State University at Missoula, Mont., in 1914-19. In the summer of 1919 he was with Auer and in the autumn located in New York as player and teacher. His interest in composition began about 1901, but was not specially manifest until about 1910. Since then he has been diligent and his works have met with unusual success. His violin-concerto in E minor (prize for a violin-concerto by an American, Chicago, 1916) he played with the American Symphony Orchestra in Chicago on Mar. 2, 1916, and later with the Minneapolis, Milwaukee and other Orchestras, besides being brought forward by Maud Powell.
