So it came to my attention that there is a 'Making Of' for the first 4 episodes of Hornblower. @professorlehnsherr-almashy was the one who found this out, so he ordered the UK publishing. I found both the UK and the US versions. It only cost me about $15 to order both, so I did. 🤣 I felt it my duty to make there were no differences in the text, especially after discovering that some of the Hornblower episodes were released under different titles in the UK and the US.

There were no discrepancies, but regardless, I'll share some photos and bits from the book!

The UK was hard back so I liked having a hard back copy!

Both Pellew and Kitty got full page pictures which I loved! But I am sad that the rest did not.

Archie got one picture for the entire book and I'm sad about it 😭 but it's a lovely photo!

THE BOYS!!😍 I do love that they talked to the boys, Sean has some comments on Styles and just having him speak about his time on this project made me so happy💖💖💖

Part 2 for one more photo because tumblr limits the photos😑

[napoleonic-sexyman-tournament]

Friends, enemies, comrades, Jacobins, Monarchist, Bonapartists, gather round. We have an important announcement:

The continent is beset with war. A tenacious general from Corsica has ignited conflict from Madrid to Moscow and made ancient dynasties tremble. Depending on your particular political leanings, this is either the triumph of a great man out of the chaos of The Terror, a betrayal of the values of the French Revolution, or the rule of the greatest upstart tyrant since Caesar.

But, our grand tournament is here to ask the most important question: Now that the flower of European nobility is arrayed on the battlefield in the sexiest uniforms that European history has yet produced (or indeed, may ever produce), who is the most fuckable?

The bracket is here: full bracket and just quadrant I

Joseph Antonio Emidy and The Music We Lost

"This remarkable man was the most finished musician I ever heard of, though I have had the privilege of listening to most of the stars who have appeared on the London stage during the past fifty years, but not one of them in my estimation has equalled this unknown negro." -William R. Tuck on Joseph Emidy

Read on after the cut:

Born somewhere around the year 1775 in Guinea and sold to Portuguese slavers as a child, Joseph was first taken to Brazil and then to Lisbon, Portugal. His owner recognized his musical talents and sought to cultivate them by providing Joseph with violin lessons from a professional musician. In a short three or four years, he was proficient enough to be playing in the second violin section of the pit orchestra for the Lisbon Opera. As someone who plays violin, I have to point out that violin has one of the toughest technical learning curves for a beginner, and to be playing professionally after only four years of serious lessons is impressive AF. He was still enslaved at this time, a fundamentally unjust situation to be in, but it seems at the least that he was allowed to flourish musically.

Enter Sir Edward Pellew, captain of the HMS Indefatigable. At the outset of the French Revolutionary Wars, the Indefatigable met up with the Tagus in the port of Lisbon and the officers went ashore to attend the opera before sailing into the Mediterranean. While there, Emidy seems to have caught Pellew's eye, perhaps because he may have been the only black violinist in the second violin section.

Pellew was aware that fighting the French was going to be a years-long campaign, and that his men would be badly in need of something to help bolster their morale along the way. Thus, by the end of the concert he had directed his men to press-gang Emidy as he left the theater to ensure that they would have a good fiddler to entertain them on ship during the war.

So when you hear about crews kidnapping musicians just so they could have entertainment on board this is the chief canonical example of just that. And as much as Admiral Pellew is admired for his bravery and cunning throughout his career, I can't help but see the flip side of that same mindset, the part that was okay with casually kidnapping someone from an orchestra on the coldly calculated basis that he would be the least likely to be missed.

For approximately four years Emidy served in the Royal Navy as the crew's chief source of onboard entertainment, playing the fiddle for them so they could dance in the evenings. He was not allowed shore leave from the HMS Indefatigable during the entirety of that time, because he was openly miserable about his situation and they feared he would abscond at the first opportunity. Who can blame him? At last, in 1799 Pellew received a commission for the Impetueux. Seeing that he couldn't keep his fiddler much longer, he discharged Emidy at the docks of his home base in Falmouth, Cornwall.

Emidy became an integral part of Cornwall's music circuit, performing regularly at concerts, theatres, and assemblies in various parts of the county, in addition to giving music lessons. He wrote numerous compositions which were held in high enough regard locally that a young James Silk Buckingham (who had taken music lessons with Emidy) was moved to travel to London in 1807 to present some of them to composer and impresario Johann Peter Salomon and his circle of music professionals. While Salomon was intrigued enough to offer Emidy a chance to come perform in London, others warned that even with his talent he would face an uphill battle against the racial prejudices of Londoners. In Cornwall, they argued, at least he was already well-known and well-liked. Ultimately, he remained in Cornwall.

This London meeting happened at about the same time that violin virtuoso George Bridgetower was elected to the Royal Society of Musicians and began working towards his bachelor's in music at Trinity Hall, Cambridge. Perhaps Bridgetower was given more of a pass by London society because he was mulatto, and because of his (somewhat alleged) noble lineage. Emidy was wholly of African descent and a former slave. His abilities had the potential to pose uncomfortable questions to an English society newly grappling with the issue of abolition (the first Abolition Act, which banned the direct purchase of enslaved people from Africa, was passed right in 1807). If nothing else, this experience made an impression on Buckingham, who went on to become an ardent abolitionist and social reformer. On Emidy, Buckingham wrote, "With the same advantages as were enjoyed by most of the great composers of Europe, this man might have become a Mendelssohn or Beethoven; but as it was, it was the achievement of extraordinary perfection, in spite of a thousand obstacles or difficulties."

Emidy lived the rest of his life in Cornwall, making his round of gigs, teaching, and composing. He married Jenefer Hutchins in 1802 and the couple went on to have at least six children (some sources say eight). He died in 1835 at the approximate age of 60, and is buried in Kenwyn Parish Church in Truro.

Several different sources attest to a variety of compositions that Emidy wrote over the course of his career, including chamber music, symphonies, a horn concerto, and several pieces for violin. None of these pieces have been found, at least not yet. It's not so unusual for the time to have no trace of a composer's works, as there was no concerted effort to preserve music that was going out of fashion (and musical tastes changed quite rapidly during this period). But it is extremely disappointing that someone didn't hold onto this music, especially since it seems to have garnered some high praise.

for the wip meme -fallen, bubbles, cheer

(content warning for suicidal ideation, blood)

At last Bush eased a little, and Horatio risked walking down to the sea for clean seawater. Night had fallen while Horatio sat by Bush's bedside, and the blue phosphorescence of the surf danced where Horatio emptied Bush's blood into it. Horatio's despair was such that he was greatly tempted to simply continue walking into the waves -- but he must not. Bush lay ill and helpless, with none but Horatio to attend him. He must not be left alone: he needed Horatio, and Horatio must not offer himself to the sharks until Bush was well again.

"You should have a wife," Horatio insisted again when he handed the bottle back.

"And do what with her while I'm off with you? Keep her in a pumpkin shell?" Bush asked.

"Buy her affections with a pet tiger," Horatio suggested, thinking of Exmouth, but pleasantly distracted by Bush's off-handed while I'm off with you. In the hypothetical world where Bush was possessed of all the comforts and affections of a wife, he was still off with Hornblower somewhere, at the harsh mercies of sea and storm. There was a curious pleasure in that, even knowing that there would never be any adventures for them together ever again. In Bush's hypothetical best life, he was on a ship with Hornblower, eating hard biscuit and drinking green water. It was a strangely cheering thought.

"Hah," Bush retorted. "Twice married, and you know less of women than even I do." He took a slug of rum. "Have you met Lord Exmouth's? The tiger, not the wife."

Horatio dragged himself back to the topic of Admiral Sir Edward Pellew, Lord Exmouth, and his tame white tiger. "Once," he said, and put out a hand for the bottle of rum.

If you loved The Terror, you might enjoy this.

Backstory: the Next Generation is now obsessed with the Age of Sail (GLEE!) due to playing The Return of the Obra Dinn.  So we sat down and watched episode 1 of A&E’s Horatio Hornblower series, which is on YouTube and that’s good because all my DVDs are packed up.  She got to see a story set in that period and I got to fall in love with Captain Sir Edward Pellew all over again.  Win-win!
