1of the R.C.M. (since 1919) for vocal ensemble, harmony, etc. His compositions, generally serious and reflective in character, exhibit a high type of musical sensitiveness. They include:
3'As the leaves fall.' (Female voices and orch.)
4'Ye watchers and ye holy ones.' (Female voices and orch.)
5'The Kingdom of God.' (Sop. solo, chorus and orch.)
6'Ring out ye crystal spheres.' (Chorus, orch. or organ.)

14DASER, LUDWIG (b. Munich, c. 1525; d. Stuttgart, Mar. 27, 1589), received his education and musical training in the Bavarian vocal chapel (Hofkantorei). In 1552 he became court Kapellmeister, but was pensioned in 1559,1 probably on account of his Protestant faith, and was succeeded by Orlandus Lassus. On Jan. 8, 1572, he was appointed court Kapellmeister at Stuttgart, which position he held to the time of his death. Most of his compositions, masses, motets, etc., remained in MS. A 4-part Passion music (1578) and a fugue (also motets, Riemann) in J. Paix's organ-book (1594) were published in Munich, and 1 organ piece in Woltz, 'Nova Musices,' etc., 1617 (Q.-L.; A. Sandberger, Bayr. Hofkapelle, i.; G. Bossert, Die Hofkantorei).
16DASH, the sign of staccato, written thus (·), and placed under or over a note to indicate that the duration of the sound is to be as short as possible, the value of the note being completed by an interval of silence; for example—
18Written. Performed.
20A round dot (·) is also used for a similar purpose, but with this difference, that notes marked with dots should be less staccato than those with dashes, being shortened about one-half, thus—
22Written. Performed.
24This distinction, which is enforced by such teachers as Clementi and Czerny, is often ignored by modern editors of classical compositions, and it is remarkable that in such valuable and conscientious editions of Beethoven's works as those of Von Bülow ('Instructive Ausgabe'; Cotta, Stuttgart), Pauer (Augener & Co., London) and others, only one sign should have been employed for the two effects. That Beethoven himself considered the distinction of importance is proved by various corrections by his hand of the orchestral parts of the Seventh Symphony, still extant, and also by a letter written in 1825 to Carl Holz, in which he expressly insists that ' and is not a matter of indifference.' See Nottebohm's Beethoviana, No. xxv., in which extracts are given from several of Beethoven's works, with the signs of staccato as originally marked by himself. (Cf. INÉGALES.) F. T.

28DAUBE, JOHANN FRIEDRICH (b. ? Cassel, c. 1730; d. Augsburg, Sept. 19, 1797). In his Generalbass in drey Accorden (1756) he proves himself a musician of advanced ideas, similar to Rameau. He wrote two other books on composition and some symphonies, sonatas and lute pieces (Q.-L.; Riemann).
30DAUBLAINE ET CALLINET, organ-builders established in Paris in 1838 as Daublaine et Cie. In 1839 Louis Callinet (b. Rouffach, Alsace, 1797), member of an old Alsatian family of organ-builders and successor to the organ-builder Somer, sold his house to Daublaine, becoming partner for five years. But he brought bad fortune to the house, for in 1844, in a fit of rage excited by some dispute, Callinet destroyed all the work which he and his partners had just added to the organ at St. Sulpice. After this feat he retired to Cavaille's factory as a mere journeyman. Shortly before 1844 the firm was re-established as Girard et Cie, with Barker as foreman from 1842. Under him the St. Eustache organ, destroyed by fire in 1845, was rebuilt, and that of St. Sulpice restored (1844-46). The firm became Ducroquet et Cie in 1845; the new organ built at St. Eustache was exhibited at Hyde Park in 1851, obtaining a Council medal and the decoration of the Legion of Honour. In 1855 Ducroquet (d. Varennes, Somme, July 19, 1877) was succeeded by a limited company, and that again by Merklin, Schütze et Cie from Brussels, who managed their predecessors' branches at Paris and Lyons. The business was subsequently carried on by Merklin alone until his death at Nancy, July 10, 1905, with the principal factory at Lyons and a branch in Paris. It became afterwards the Société Guttchenritter et Decoq (1899), the mark of which was sold to Fortin. The firm has ceased to exist as a factory.
