Doctoral Dissertations. 580. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/580 ABSTRACT The Rise of the Tenor Voice in the Late Eighteenth Century: Mozart’s Opera and Concert Arias Joshua Michael May University of Connecticut, 2014 W. A. Mozart’s opera and concert arias for tenor are among the first music written specifically for this voice type as it is understood today, and they form an essential pillar of the pedagogy and repertoire for the modern tenor voice. Yet while the opera arias have received a great deal of attention from scholars of the vocal literature, the concert arias have been comparatively overlooked; they are neglected also in relation to their counterparts for soprano, about which a great deal has been written. There has been some pedagogical discussion of the tenor concert arias in relation to the correction of vocal faults, but otherwise they have received little scrutiny. This is surprising, not least because in most cases Mozart’s concert arias were composed for singers with whom he also worked in the opera house, and Mozart always paid close attention to the particular capabilities of the musicians for whom he wrote: these arias offer us unusually intimate insights into how a first-rank composer explored and shaped the potential of the newly-emerging voice type of the modern tenor voice.

  • Menchelli-Buttini 2
    FRANCESCA MENCHELLI-BUTTINI Johann Adolf Hasse, Demetrio (1732), Non ho più core, I-Vnm, Cod. It. IV.482, c. 112v, bb. 29-41 1 Le prerogative dell’inciso iniziale vengono esaurite in A e nella sezione centrale B, nel primo caso anche tramite una contrazione del ritmo melodico e armonico conseguente al singolare incastro fra il soprano e i primi violini, cui si affida la versione più aspra con il salto conclusivo, da ripetersi poi insistentemente sulla coloratura di «sfortunata», appresso il piccolo colpo di scena dell’entrata forte in anticipo dei primi violini (b. 79) che trascina con sé la voce, badando forse di evitare un’eccessiva monotonia: peraltro, già «temo il periglio» (bb. 73-74) assume rilievo dal gesto inatteso della scala discendente, sottolineato col mutare altrettanto improvviso del corteggio armonico e tramite il breve disporsi dei primi violini colla parte. Johann Adolf Hasse, Demetrio (1732), Non ho più core, I-Vnm, Cod. It. IV.482, cc. 113v-114r, bb. 67-74 e 78-86 – 496 – – 10 di 21 – HASSE E VIVALDI II. Nel secondo atto dell’Alessandro nell’Indie l’imprevista notizia della morte dello sposo costituisce l’ulteriore peripezia della regina Cleofide, totale rovesciamento rispetto alla precedente manifestazione di clemenza di Ales- sandro verso Poro. Forse proprio il subbuglio espresso nel recitativo Che mi giovò sull’are, confacente a un’intonazione con strumenti, nel 1736 consigliò per l’aria d’entrata Se il Ciel mi divide la sostituzione con versi più energici e vibranti come quelli di Il regno, il consorte (II.13), ma nel medesimo metro del senario regolarmente accentuato con misura dattilica, traendo dall’originale l’antitesi «vita-morte» (da «viver-morir») e l’ipotetica «Dell’idolo mio / se il Cielo mi priva» (da «Se il Ciel mi divide / dal caro mio sposo»).

  • Opera Olimpiade
    OPERA OLIMPIADE Pietro Metastasio’s L’Olimpiade, presented in concert with music penned by sixteen of the Olympian composers of the 18th century VENICE BAROQUE ORCHESTRA Andrea Marcon, conductor Romina Basso Megacle Franziska Gottwald Licida Karina Gauvin Argene Ruth Rosique Aristea Carlo Allemano Clistene Nicholas Spanos Aminta Semi-staged by Nicolas Musin SUMMARY Although the Olympic games are indelibly linked with Greece, Italy was progenitor of the Olympic operas, spawning a musical legacy that continues to resound in opera houses and concert halls today. Soon after 1733, when the great Roman poet Pietro Metastasio witnessed the premiere of his libretto L’Olimpiade in Vienna, a procession of more than 50 composers began to set to music this tale of friendship, loyalty and passion. In the course of the 18th century, theaters across Europe commissioned operas from the Olympian composers of the day, and performances were acclaimed in the royal courts and public opera houses from Rome to Moscow, from Prague to London. Pieto Metastasio In counterpoint to the 2012 Olympic games, Opera Olimpiade has been created to explore and celebrate the diversity of musical expression inspired by this story of the ancient games. Research in Europe and the United States yielded L’Olimpiade manuscripts by many composers, providing the opportunity to extract the finest arias and present Metastasio’s drama through an array of great musical minds of the century. Andrea Marcon will conduct the Venice Baroque Orchestra and a cast of six virtuosi singers—dare we say of Olympic quality—in concert performances of the complete libretto, a succession of 25 spectacular arias and choruses set to music by 16 Title page of David Perez’s L’Olimpiade, premiered in Lisbon in 1753 composers: Caldara, Vivaldi, Pergolesi, Leo, Galuppi, Perez, Hasse, Traetta, Jommelli, Piccinni, Gassmann, Mysliveek, Sarti, Cherubini, Cimarosa, and Paisiello.

  • A Largely Unknown Chapter in Maltese History
    Eighteenth-Century Music and its Political Configurations: a largely unknown Chapter in Maltese History Simon MERCIECA University of Malta The period of the rule of the Knights of Saint John (1530-1798) is currently remembered and celebrated as Malta's golden age. The Knights are typically perceived as benign Christian and Catholic rulers, and the Grand Masters considered among Malta's most famous historical characters. The Order is rightly credited with having brought a cultural Renaissance to the Island. During its rule, a number of far-reaching historical events took place. Conveniently, only the victory of the Knights of Saint John at the Great Siege of 1565, when a large Ottoman force was repelled following fierce fighting, is commemorated on a national scale. The arrival of Napoleon's forces in 1798, by contrast, does not receive the same acknowledgement or coverage in popular history. Yet the Order's rule was not necessarily as golden as it is sometimes made out to be, and the Knights' administration is tarnished by various miscarriages of justice. They were despotic rulers following ancien regime principles. The artistic and architectural grandeur of the time and the cultural renaissance fostered by the Order interested the few. It has been suggested that only two per cent of a country's population was really concerned with cultural issues during the early modern period.1 The arrival in Malta of Michelangelo Merisi di Caravaggio (the year 2007 marked the 400th anniversary of that event) and the engagement of other important artists, such as Mattia Preti together with the employment of important military engineers, provide proof of the Order's contribution to Malta's cultural history.

  • Le Cinesi. Revised Libretto by PIETRO METASTASIO, First Set by Nicola Conforto (1751 Aranjuez)
    Le cinesi. Revised libretto by PIETRO METASTASIO, first set by Nicola Conforto (1751 Aranjuez). The scene represents a room in the house of Lisinga, decorated in the Chinese manner, with a table and four chairs. Lisinga, Sivene, and Tangia sit together drinking tea in an attitude of total preoccupation. Silango, listens unseen from the partly open door. Lisinga, after observing each of her companions for some time, finally breaks the silence. Bored, three young Chinese women ponder how they might amuse themselves in a manner that would be enjoyable, innocent, and different. Tangia has fleeting thoughts on the matter but they come to nothing. Much to their chagrin, Silango enters to offer his opinion, but since this is a room strictly off-limits to men, reputations are at stake and he must leave – but best to delay until darkness offers its cover. Meanwhile, in spite of his recent travels in Europe, he must realize that he is no longer in France or Italy and must readjust to the customs of his native China. Lisinga suggests that as a group, they perform a dramatic piece. All three agree, but in turning to such a European pastime, each one favours a different genre. Lisinga opts for an heroic drama, while Sivene would have a pastoral and Tangia a comedy. Thus Silango proposes that each one perform a scene in her preferred style and they will adopt the one they consider to be the best. Since her companions hesitate, Lisinga takes the lead and as Andromache, widow of Hector, plays out a scene in which the life of their child, Astyanax, is threatened by Pyrrhus, unless she agree to marry him.

  • Milan, 26Th January, 1770
    0158. MOZART TO HIS SISTER ,1 SALZBURG [Milan, 26 th January, 1770] I am truly and wholeheartedly glad that you enjoyed this sleigh ride so much 2 and I wish you a thousand opportunities for enjoyment so that you may live your life in truly high spirits. But one thing vexes me, [5] that you let Herr von Mölk 3 sigh and suffer so endlessly, and that you did not go on a sleigh ride with him so that he could have tipped it over for you. How many sniffle-handkerchiefs will he have needed that day for weeping over you? He will of course have taken 2 ounces of tartar 4 beforehand, which no doubt expelled from him the horrifying uncleanliness of body that he has. [10] I know of nothing new, except that Herr Gelehrt, 5 the poet in Leipzig, has died and has written no more poetry since his death. Just before I started this letter, I finished an aria from Demetrio ,6 which begins like this: Misero tu non sei: [15] Tu spieghi il tuo dolore; e se non desti amore; ritrovi almen pietà. * Misera ben son io Che nel segretto laccio [20] Amo, non spero e taccio E l’idol mio nol sà. 7 The opera in Mantua was fine, they played Denetrio .8 The leading lady sings well but quietly and, if you do not see her acting, but only singing, you think she is not singing, for she cannot open her mouth, [25] but whines her way through everything, but that is nothing new to us.
