Works
Her first concert was given at the Hanover Square Rooms on 26 June 1846, at which the baritone Johann Pischek performed her sacred song Benedictus, a composition later praised by Mendelssohn. She was active as a performer until 1864. After that, Macirone turned to teaching and composing. Her Te Deum and Jubilate were sung at Hanover Chapel and claimed to have been the first service by a woman ever used in the Church. Macirone was a pioneer in the musical education of women as both a teacher and writer. She held teaching positions at Aske's School for Girls in Hatcham (1872-8) and at the Church of England High School for Girls, Baker Street. She contributed articles to The Girl's Own Paper and The Argosy. Macirone died in London in 1914.
Selected works include: • Suite for piano and violin in E minor • Rondino in G for piano • By the Waters of Babylon, anthem (sung at Canterbury, Ely and elsewhere) • Te Deum and Jubilate • Benedictus • Footsteps of Angels, choral • Come to Me, Oh Ye Children (Text: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow) • Fare thee well! and if for ever (Text: George Gordon Noel Byron, Lord Byron) • Hesperus (Text: Edwin Arnold after Sappho) • The Balaclava Charge (Text: Alfred, Lord Tennyson) • There is dew for the flow'ret (Text: Thomas Hood)
