Lucius Junius Henderson and Marcel Tyberg compared.
Born in Aledo, Illinois, Lucius Junius Henderson (1861-1947) was a classically trained musician who later attended Harvard College.
He entered film with the Thanhouser Company in late 1910, functioning as chiefly a director: Henderson directed 73 films before his retirement from directing at the end of 1917.
In 1923 he rekindled his abilities as an actor, starring in a number of films in the mid-1920s, and later turned to radio work, after the changeover to sound.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a 1912 horror film based on both Robert Louis Stevenson's novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886) and on the 1887 play version written by Thomas Russell Sullivan.
Cruze plays Jekyll as a white-haired, middle-aged, well meaning doctor, but "upon his transformation into Hyde, he cuts loose and delivers a memorable bit of pantomime acting....as he morphs into an impish and violent sociopath". Jekyll's girlfriend's father becomes a minister in this version rather than the pompous aristocrat of the novel.
Marcel Tyberg (1893-1944) was born into a musical family in Vienna. His father, Marcell Tyberg (Sr.), was a well-known violinist, while his mother, Wanda Paltinger Tybergova, was a pianist in the school of Theodor Leschetizky. Tyberg's father was on good terms with the renowned violinist Jan Kubelik and the two families frequented one another. Tyberg also became friendly with the Italian violinist and conductor, Rodolfo Lipizer.
In 1927, following the death of his father, Tyberg moved with his mother to the town of Abbazia (Opatija), today in Croatia, then part of Italy. To eke out a living, he turned his hand to any work on offer. He taught harmony, played church organs, conducted, and under the pseudonym "Till Bergmar" produced popular dance music for the local resorts (rumbas, tangos and waltzes, etc.).
When German forces occupied northern Italy in 1943, Tyberg's mother, in compliance with Nazi regulations, registered that one of her great-grandfathers had been Jewish. Subsequently, Tyberg was arrested and deported to the death camps of San Sabba and Auschwitz.
This recording by Ensemble Alraune is included in the album "Musica e Regime 3" → www.novantiqua...
"Musica & Regime” is a long-term project to rediscover music banned during the Nazi regime.
We hope you like this combination we have chosen between the plot based on Stevenson's novella and the Mahler-like "Finale" movement of Tyberg's String Sextet.
