The Germans who immigrated to Texas in the 1830s, 40s, and 50s brought with them many and varied cultural institutions which they had known and enjoyed in Europe. As soon as the initial hardships of the frontier could be overcome, they eagerly established singing societies in the Lidertafel tradition. These organizations were to have a profound impact on music in Texas from about 1850 to the time of World War I.

The `Tudor revival' of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century England saw unprecedented enthusiasm for the study and performance of English Renaissance music. The revival, which emphasized choral music, was characterized by a rich and interconnected fabric of events including manuscript discoveries, the publication of sundry new scholarly and performing editions, the founding of ensembles who specialized in early music, and an overall increase in the study and performance of Tudor music. Narratives of the Tudor revival have traditionally focused on the role of institutions and ensembles in London, thereby neglecting the important work that occurred elsewhere in the country. In order to more adequately represent the full extent of the movement, this study examines the previously unrecognized role of the institutions and ensembles of Oxford, demonstrating the many ways in which the foundation colleges, student societies, and civic ensembles and organizations helped to bring about the Tudor revival. The appendix contains previously unpublished documents from the Oriel College Archives in Oxford, primarily consisting of letters to and from Edmund Fellowes between 1897 and 1925.

Throughout Germany the singing society (usually a Maennerchor), is an important institution in the cultural life of every, hamlet, town, and city. During the middle of the nineteenth century, many such societies sprang up throughout America. California had a liberal share of these during the pioneer days. Some of these organizations have persisted until the present day. The function which they performed in enriching the lives of their members, and the contribution which they made to the life of the community seems to the investigator a valid reason for investigation into their background and history. As far as the investigator can discover, no such study has been made. Since "every civilization is a synthesis of man's conquest of life" it seemed worth-while to study the attack which the German-born citizen made upon life in the new world. Part of this attack was through the singing societies which he transplanted from the old world. Why he did this, how he did it, and with what musical success, forms the body of this thesis. The material has been presented in chronological sequence. The sources which led to the formation of singing societies in Germany are briefly treated in the first chapter. Thee gaudy period of the pioneers comprises the second chapter. The third chapter is devoted to that period which is characterized by a nostalgic love for the Fatherland, as well as a genuine, self-respecting loyalty to the new country. The modern period, in which present day citizens carry on the old tradition, comprises the fourth chapter. This is followed by an attempt at objective evaluation. Included in this is an examination of critical comment as published in present day newspapers.
