66[A very enthusiastic monograph on MacDowell, by Lawrence Gilman, was published by John Lane in London and New York in 1906.]
68MACE, THOMAS, born at Cambridge about 1619, was one of the clerks of Trinity College, Cambridge, and author of a remarkable book published (in small folio, 272 pp., besides 18 pp. of prefatory matter) in 1676, entitled Musick's Monument; or, A Remembrancer of the best Practical Musick, both Divine and Civil, that has ever been known to have been in the world, the first part of which treats of the then condition of parochial psalmody and cathedral music and the means of improving their performance; the second of the lute, including directions for choosing, tuning, repairing, performing on and composing for the instrument, with a full explanation of the tablature and numerous lessons; and the third of the viol and of music generally, with other curious matter. The book is written in a quaint, familiar style, intermingled with a profusion of strangely compounded terms, and produces a striking impression of the author's love of his art and his devout and amiable disposition. It was published by subscription at 12s. per copy in sheets. A lengthy epitome of it is given in Hawkins's History, pp. 727-733, Novello's edition. A few scanty biographical particulars are culled from it, viz. that Mace married in or shortly after 1636; that before the marriage his wife resided in Yorkshire, he in Cambridge; that in 1644 he was in York during the siege of the city by the Parliamentary army; that in consequence of having broken both arms he was compelled to make a shake upon the lute in an irregular manner; that he invented a 'table organ' (described in his book, with an engraving) to accompany a 'consort of viols'; that in consequence of partial deafness, rendering the soft tones of the lute inaudible to him, he in 1672 invented a lute of fifty strings, which he termed the Dyphone, or Double Lute; that he had a family, and that his youngest son, John, learned in 1672 to play well upon the lute almost solely by the perusal of the MS. of his book [see IMMYNS, JOHN]; that the writing of the work was not commenced until after Christmas, 1671, and it was licensed for publication May 5, 1675; and lastly that owing to his increased deafness, which we may presume prevented him pursuing his profession, he was in somewhat straitened circumstances. Hawkins asserts that Mace was born in 1613, evidently arriving at that conclusion from the inscription beneath the portrait (engraved by Faithorne after Cooke) prefixed to his book, 'Ætat. suæ. 63.' The date of his death is not known, but 1709 is conjectured. See an important advertisement in the Bagford Collection (Harl. MS. 5936 (384)). [Mace was further responsible for another quaint work, Profit, convenience and pleasure to the whole Nation, being a short rational discourse lately presented to His Majesty concerning the Highways of England, etc. 1675. A copy is in the British Museum. F. K.] W. H. H.
70M'EWEN, JOHN BLACKWOOD, born at Hawick, April 13, 1868, educated at the Glasgow High School, the Glasgow University, and the Royal Academy of Music. He has the degree of M.A. of Glasgow, and is a F.R.A.M. He was professor and lecturer at the Glasgow Athenaeum, in 1896-98, and has been a professor of harmony and composition at the Royal Academy of Music from the latter year. His works are numerous and important, but though many have been performed, only a few are published; among these are a piano sonata in E minor, a string quartet in A minor, six Highland dances for violin and piano, and two sets of part-songs. His choral works include a 'Scene from Hellas' for female chorus and orchestra, 'The Last Chantey' for chorus and orchestra, and a setting of Milton's Hymn on the Nativity, for soprano solo, chorus and orchestra. For orchestra he has written two overtures, a suite in E, a symphony in A minor, a concerto for viola, and three Highland dances for strings. Two other string quartets, in F and E minor respectively, are to be mentioned,
