EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a delightful performance of Haydn's Toy Symphony by the children of the Royal Asylum of St. Anne, located in Redhill, Surrey, in the year 1887. The girls, dressed in sashes and sashes, gracefully engage in a lively rendition of the musical piece using an assortment of toys as instruments. The young musicians playfully wield a triangle, horn, drum, clapper, and bells, bringing the melody to life. The Toy Symphony, also known as the "London Toy Symphony" or "Geschwindes Toy Symphonie," was a popular piece composed by Joseph Haydn in 1761. It was originally intended as a musical joke, featuring unconventional instruments and playful melodies. However, it soon gained widespread popularity and became a beloved classic. The children's performance at the Royal Asylum of St. Anne adds a unique historical perspective to this musical masterpiece. The asylum, founded in 1854, was dedicated to providing education and care for orphaned, abandoned, and destitute children. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the joy and creativity that music can bring to people of all ages and backgrounds. The Toy Symphony performance is further enhanced by the presence of a maypole and ribbons, adding a festive and celebratory atmosphere to the scene. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of music and the boundless enthusiasm of children, making it a truly enchanting and historical moment in time.
