Marina’s Chorus

We continue to take advantage of the occasion of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the death of Josep Anselm Clavé, to show you funds that we have preserved in the Museum related to the Clavé Choirs of Badalona.

Today the protagonist is the Cor de Marina.

The beginnings of this organization date back to 1876, when a group of fifty fishermen and fishmongers who met at the Can Punt café – on Carrer de Mar – decided to found it. Even so, the organization considers the year 1882 as the initial date and it is the one that appears on the banners.

In December 1886 they inaugurated its social place of La Rambla, where today they continue to develop their cultural and recreational activities. The building, the work of the architect Joan Baptista Pons Trabal (Barcelona 1855-1928), forms part of the protection catalog of the historical, artistic and landscape heritage of Badalona.

The building has a function room/theatre with capacity for 150 people. This space has been very productive in performances and has gone through very brilliant times. Over the years, the Cor de Marina has hosted other organizations, among which the Orfeó Badaloní stands out, which had its headquarters there between 1948 and 1972

La Societat Coral La Badalonense

1858 is the year of the start of the La Badalonense Choral Society. It has its origin in the Coro de Badalona (made known in 1854), from which, in 1857, a sector was split off that founded the Societat Coral L’Alba.

In 1858 the choir joined the Societat Euterpe de Cors de Clavé, where it was recorded under the name Sociedad Coral y de Socorros Mutuos La Badalonense.

Like all choral societies, it had begun with the gatherings of fishermen and weavers, who used to end up singing popular songs of the time.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the choral movement had great vitality, with the existence of several choral organizations. All of them actively participated in the numerous events (tributes, inaugurations…) and festivities (Corpus, the Festa Major…) that were celebrated in the town throughout the year.

In October 1917, La Badalonense inaugurated its headquarters in the current Carrer de Francesc Layret, the same one it still maintains today.

We show you three banners of this society that we keep in the Museum.

The Perpetual Union of the Choral Societies

For many years, the Museum has kept the standard (MB 19326) in its collections, the provenance of which is completely unknown, as there is no record of its entry. In 2008, the grandson of Francesc Flos Calcat, author of the design, donated the drawing of the banner project (MB 11817) and the life-size template for the text of the banner (MB 11857). This donation made the grouping of these three pieces possible.

All of this has its origin in the celebration of the union of the choral societies of Badalona, which was celebrated on March 9th, 1895 at the Zorrilla Theater to commemorate the union of three of the town’s choral societies: the Societat Coral de Socors Mutus Alba, Societat Coral la Badalonense and Societat Coral La Palma.

According to the description that can be read in the weekly El Eco de Badalona of March 2nd, 1895, in an intermission, Pere Viñas Renom gave the societies a magnificent banner or standard as a souvenir of the bond of union that was celebrated in that act

If you want to read more information about the event, you can take a look to El Eco de Badalona, of March 2nd, 1895 and March 16th, 1895

 

 

 

Commemoration of the 150th. Anniversary of the death of Josep Anselm Clavé i Camps (Barcelona 1824- Barcelona 1874)

This year 2024 marks the 150th anniversary of the death of Josep Anselm Clavé (1824-1874) Catalan politician, composer and writer, founder of the choral movement in Catalonia and promoter of the associative movement.

Choral societies had a large success in Catalonia and many were founded in the 19th and early 20th centuries, some of which are still active.

In Badalona there were also and still are numerous choral societies, some of which have ceded their banners, documents and other materials to the Museum.

Now, on the occasion of this anniversary, we want to share with you these funds and the history of the entities that generated them, and we will do so through news published on our website and on social networks during this year.

Finally, we will remember that in 1954, the choral societies of Badalona dedicated a monument to Clavé, consisting of a bust of the master, the work of Joan Barrera i Ferrer, placed on a plinth, located in Avinguda de Sant Ignatius of Loyola, where it can still be seen today.

Do you have any works by the Badalona painter Joaquim Torrents Lladó?

From the Museum, with the collaboration of the artist’s family, we are preparing, for the autumn, an exhibition and a catalogue dedicated to Joaquim Torrents Lladó (Badalona 1946 – Palma de Mallorca 1993), internationally recognized painter, considered one of the great portrait artists of the country.

We would like to expand the knowledge of his production as much as possible, and we ask that, if you have any of his works, please contact the Museum to help us to delve deeper into his career.

You can write to: dnieto@museudebadalona.cat or call 933 841 750.

Sit tibi terra levis Maribel

We started the year with sad news from Córdoba: the loss of our colleague – and friend – Maribel Gutiérrez. Archaeologist, illustrator, great communicator and lover of Roman culture, Maribel was also director and co-founder of the history teaching company Sexto Mario, with which she had participated in different editions of Badalona’s Roman festival, Magna Celebratio .

Her enthusiasm, her creativity and her ability to convey all the content – whatever it was – in an attractive and suggestive way was an inspiration to us every time she visited us. In fact, with her usual kindness and generosity she did not hesitate to share her knowledge with our team of educators, whenever we asked. She will always live in our memory.

Sit tibi terra levis (may the earth be light to you), Maribel.

 

 

 

 

A piece with history

Last December, the Museum opened a photo exhibition that reviews everyday life and shows aspects of the city and its people during the winter months of different years.

When we were preparing it, a photograph really caught our attention because we thought we recognized a piece that appeared in it and is kept in the Museum’s collection. Having checked and confirmed the fact, we explain to you which piece it is and what we know about it, and relate it also to the photograph.

It is a standard (MB 2057) on which the text Escuela pública de párvulos is embroidered on one side and the coat of arms of Badalona (prior to 1914) on the other. The photograph in which it appears corresponds to the celebration of the Festival of the Tree on March 4th, 1906, which took place in the area of the Rosés hill.

The first tree festivals in Catalonia took place in the spring of 1899 and soon spread throughout the territory. It was a day that wanted to spread the importance of trees as regulators of the water cycle, protectors against erosion and shapers of the landscape.

The Badalona celebration that appears in the original image, made by the Sayol Brothers and of which a 13 x 18 cm glass negative is preserved in the Museum’s Image Archive, was attended by the local authorities and the representatives of Badalona and also some from Barcelona. After the events and parliaments, more than 2,000 snacks were distributed to the students of the schools that attended.

If you want to know all the details of this celebration, do not miss the news published by El Eco de Badalona, dated March 10th, 1906:

Some of the city’s historical censuses and registers available online

You can consult online some of the oldest registers and censuses of Badalona that are preserved in the Historical Archive of the City of Badalona (AHBDN). An essential source that we now put on the Museum’s website, available to researchers and the general public, interested in the history of our city.

The Population Census is the relationship of the demographic, economic and social data of a population, in this case, Badalona. The information collected – address, people’s names, sex, age, marital status, level of education and other economic data – changes little between the different registers. The censuses preserved in the Historical Archive of the City of Badalona go from the 19th century to 1940, but in this first phase it is only possible to consult online an incomplete census dated to the 19th century, and those of 1857 and 1860.

Regarding the municipal register of inhabitants, it is the registration of people who live in the municipality carried out by the City Council with the function of accrediting residence in a specific address. The AHBDN keeps one of the oldest registers in Catalonia, the one from 1717, which can now be consulted online together with the rest of the registers kept in the archive until 1914. The rest of registers, which reach up to the year 1945, they still won’t find them on the web.

Although both censuses and registers collect information on the same inhabitants, there are some differences in terms of their purpose and content. While the census has a statistical nature and is carried out at state level with the aim of collecting demographic and social information on the number and distribution of the population, the registers are carried out by the municipalities and have a purely administrative function.

With this new resource, the range of tools for people who want to do research is expanded, while at the same time ensuring the conservation of these important historical funds, avoiding manipulation that could deteriorate them.
