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. -

What Handel Taught the Viennese About the Trombone
291 What Handel Taught the Viennese about the Trombone David M. Guion Vienna became the musical capital of the world in the late eighteenth century, largely because its composers so successfully adapted and blended the best of the various national styles: German, Italian, French, and, yes, English. Handel’s oratorios were well known to the Viennese and very influential.1 His influence extended even to the way most of the greatest of them wrote trombone parts. It is well known that Viennese composers used the trombone extensively at a time when it was little used elsewhere in the world. While Fux, Caldara, and their contemporaries were using the trombone not only routinely to double the chorus in their liturgical music and sacred dramas, but also frequently as a solo instrument, composers elsewhere used it sparingly if at all. The trombone was virtually unknown in France. It had disappeared from German courts and was no longer automatically used by composers working in German towns. J.S. Bach used the trombone in only fifteen of his more than 200 extant cantatas. Trombonists were on the payroll of San Petronio in Bologna as late as 1729, apparently longer than in most major Italian churches, and in the town band (Concerto Palatino) until 1779. But they were available in England only between about 1738 and 1741. Handel called for them in Saul and Israel in Egypt. It is my contention that the influence of these two oratorios on Gluck and Haydn changed the way Viennese composers wrote trombone parts. Fux, Caldara, and the generations that followed used trombones only in church music and oratorios. -

Transcontinental Railways and Canadian Nationalism Introduction Historiography
©2001 Chinook Multimedia Inc. Page 1 of 22 Transcontinental Railways and Canadian Nationalism A.A. den Otter ©2001 Chinook Multimedia Inc. All rights reserved. Unauthorized duplication or distribution is strictly prohibited. Introduction The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) has always been a symbol of Canada's nation-building experience. Poets, musicians, politicians, historians, and writers have lauded the railway as one of the country's greatest achievements. Indeed, the transcontinental railway was a remarkable accomplishment: its managers, engineers, and workers overcame incredible obstacles to throw the iron track across seemingly impenetrable bogs and forests, expansive prairies, and nearly impassable mountains. The cost in money, human energy, and lives was enormous. Completed in 1885, the CPR was one of the most important instruments by which fledgling Canada realized a vision implicit in the Confederation agreement of 1867-the building of a nation from sea to sea. In the fulfilment of this dream, the CPR, and subsequently the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk systems, allowed the easy interchange of people, ideas, and goods across a vast continent; they permitted the settlement of the Western interior and the Pacific coast; and they facilitated the integration of Atlantic Canada with the nation's heartland. In sum, by expediting commercial, political, and cultural intercourse among Canada's diverse regions, the transcontinentals in general, and the CPR in particular, strengthened the nation. Historiography The first scholarly historical analysis of the Canadian Pacific Railway was Harold Innis's A History of the Canadian Pacific Railway. In his daunting account of contracts, passenger traffic, freight rates, and profits, he drew some sweeping conclusions. -

A Countertenor's Reference Guide to Operatic Repertoire
A COUNTERTENOR’S REFERENCE GUIDE TO OPERATIC REPERTOIRE Brad Morris A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2019 Committee: Christopher Scholl, Advisor Kevin Bylsma Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2019 Brad Morris All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Christopher Scholl, Advisor There are few resources available for countertenors to find operatic repertoire. The purpose of the thesis is to provide an operatic repertoire guide for countertenors, and teachers with countertenors as students. Arias were selected based on the premise that the original singer was a castrato, the original singer was a countertenor, or the role is commonly performed by countertenors of today. Information about the composer, information about the opera, and the pedagogical significance of each aria is listed within each section. Study sheets are provided after each aria to list additional resources for countertenors and teachers with countertenors as students. It is the goal that any countertenor or male soprano can find usable repertoire in this guide. iv I dedicate this thesis to all of the music educators who encouraged me on my countertenor journey and who pushed me to find my own path in this field. v PREFACE One of the hardships while working on my Master of Music degree was determining the lack of resources available to countertenors. While there are opera repertoire books for sopranos, mezzo-sopranos, tenors, baritones, and basses, none is readily available for countertenors. Although there are online resources, it requires a great deal of research to verify the validity of those sources. -
Carlo Goldoni and the Dramma Giocoso Per Musica XXX S
VI. Goldoni’s Musical Legacy Between 1749 and 1761, Venetian theatres produced a total of 69 new comic operas.181Of these, 44 used libretti by Carlo Goldoni. After he left Venice, Goldoni’s drammi giocosi continued to receive perfor- mance every year until 1768. Over the entire arc of the 18th century, an estimate of nearly 2000 comic operas were produced in all of Italy, of which 283 productions with our author’s texts. Goldoni’s texts began to circulate outside of Italy as early as the 1749, launching the dramma giocoso throughout the whole of Europe. Within his own lifetime, Goldoni’s publication history provides further testimony of the wide circulation of his work. In the preface to the Pasquali edition (one of the last undertaken during his life), Goldoni offers this modest summary: Ecco dunque alla luce del mondo il primo tomo della nuova edizione delle mie Commedie, ed eccolo a fronte di altre dieci edizioni che lo hanno fin’or prevenuto, ed hanno, posso dir senza ostentazione, empito il mondo delle Opere mie (…) Cinque edizioni del Bettinelli, una del Pitteri in Venezia, la mia di Firenze, quan- tunque spacciata prima di terminarla; le ristampe di Pesaro, di Torino, di Napoli, di Bologna; le traduzioni in Francese, in Inglese, in Tedesco(…) etc.182 Goldoni’s comedies and drammi giocosi boast an impressive reach. The vast diffusion of these works has in large part been traced and catalogued 181 As accounted for by by E. Dent & P. Smith, “The Italian libretto to 1800” in New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, 14th Edition, vol. -

Haydns Opern in ihrer Zeit und heute sind das Thema dieses ersten Vortrages. Mit ihm möchte ich versuchen, einen kurzen Überblick über Haydns Opernschaffen zu geben, einerseits in historischer Hinsicht, andererseits in Betrachtung der neueren Entwicklungen. Haydns Opernschaffen ist nach den Forschungen und Veröffentlichungen der letzten Jahrzehnte gut überschaubar; Umfang, Gliederung und zeitlicher Verlauf dieses Schaffens lassen sich mit klaren Linien skizzieren. (Vgl. die Tabelle.) Es erstreckte sich über einen Zeitraum von vier Jahrzehnten: von 1751/52 bis 1791. Schauplätze der Uraufführungen waren zuerst Wien, dann Eisenstadt und Esz terhäza. Die letzte Oper entstand in London. Den Werkgattungen nach gliedert sich Haydns Opernschaffen in die Gruppe der deutschen Singspiele, mit gespro chenen Dialogen, meist in der Sonderform der Marionettenoper, wobei unter lauter heiteren Singspielen ein ernstes vorkommt, und in die Gruppe der italie nischen Opern. Zu letzteren gehört zunächst die bei Haydn bald als Opera seria, bald als Dramma eroico oder Dramma per musica bezeichnete ernste Oper, die in kleinerer Form Festa teatrale oder Azione teatrale heißt. Daneben steht die heitere Oper, als Commedia, als Intermezzo, Opera buffa oder Burletta, einmal auch als Dramma giocoso per musica bezeichnet. -

Nous partons à la rencontre du public, et vous proposons de nous suivre durant le mois de juillet dans les villes qui ont accepté de nous recevoir. Pimpinone (1725) et La serva padrona (1733) constituent deux des chefs-d’oeuvre de l’opéra buffa naissant. Si le premier a été créé à Hambourg, par LE compositeur allemand le plus important du début du XVIIIe siècle (Telemann) abordant un thème bien osé pour l’époque, le second est d’une veine toute napolitaine et donnera naissance à la comédie bouffe dans toute sa splendeur. Il est intéressant de vous les présenter ensemble, dans une atmosphère proche de ce que l’on attend
