1CHAPLIN TRIO—CHARDAVOINE
3Chaplin Trio, English ensemble, founded in 1904 for the purpose of reviving the playing of old music and dances on the original instruments. The personnel consisted of Nellie Chaplin, piano and harpsichord; Kate Chaplin, violin and viola d'amore; and Mabel Chaplin, violoncello and viola da gamba. One of its outstanding achievements was the revival of dances from Playford's Dancing Master; these had not been performed in public for more than two hundred years.

He was graduated from Princeton University, studied voice with Thomas Chalmers and in Italy with Mario Ancona and Leopoldo Mugnone, making his operatic début as the Conte di Luna in Il Trovatore at Rome. He sang later in Florence, Turin, Venice and Milan before making his American début as Valentine in Faust with the American Opera Company in New York. In recent years he has achieved considerable popularity in recitals and on the radio.

15Chappell & Co., an English music publishing house, founded in 1812 by Samuel Chappell in association with J. B. Cramer and F. T. Latour. Cramer retired in 1819 and Latour withdrew in 1826. Chappell died in 1834, and the business was carried on by his widow with the assistance of her sons, William and Thomas. The former organized the Musical Antiquarian Society, which held its meetings at his place of business. He also edited Dowland's songs for the society, and published a collection of national English airs. Under his management a general history of music was projected, and the first volume appeared in 1874. Thomas Patey Chappell, Samuel's son, greatly extended the business; the Monday and Saturday Popular Concerts were originated by him, and S. Arthur Chappell, a younger brother, was largely responsible for their success. Another project which owed its conception to the Chappells was St. James Hall. Later their piano manufacturing business became a real force in the musical life of London, under the guidance of E. Glandt; he was responsible for many improvements which resulted in increasing favor for the Chappell instruments. The firm was incorporated as a limited company in 1896; Thomas Chappell was succeeded by his son, T. Stanley Chappell, and at a later date William Boosey became managing director. The firm is lessee of Queen's Hall and proprietor of the New Queen's Hall Orchestra. Their publications include the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, and many ballads and songs that have enjoyed great popularity.
