Hanover royal music archive, 1651-1951, 1770-1870

Title: Hanover royal musicarchive 1651-1951 1770-1870

The Hanover Royal MusicArchive consists of printed and manuscript music, printed books about music,and related materials assembled by Ernest Augustus, King of Hanover, and hissuccessors. A significant component originated in England and concerns musicalactivity of several children of George III, circa 1770-1837, particularlyErnest Augustus, then Duke of Cumberland, and Princess Augusta, as well asPrince George of Cumberland, son of Ernest Augustus and later Georg V, King ofHanover. These materials moved to Hanover, apparently circa 1837 when ErnestAugustus succeeded William IV as King of Hanover. In Hanover, the collectionwas expanded by Ernest Augustus and Georg V, and much of the present contentrelates to music in the Hanoverian court through the mid-nineteenth century.While most materials date circa 1770-1870, a few items extend this span fromthe seventeenth through the mid-twentieth century.
