  • Like a Faint Echo Emanating from the Netherworld, the Theme of Temptation Is Sung by a Large Choir of Bass Voices As a Representation of Mephistopheles
    Measures 1-11: Mephistopheles' theme: Like a faint echo emanating from the netherworld, the theme of temptation is sung by a large choir of bass voices as a representation of Mephistopheles. Mephistopheles promises Faust both joy and love in exchange for accepting the pact he's proposing. Measures 12-19: Faust's theme: Faust, a highly-educated scientist, is a lonely and bitter man who feels spurned by years devoted entirely to the pursuit of knowledge, while not providing him with any personal satisfaction. He has never tried to seduce the woman whom he has always loved from afar. In considering this situation, Faust laments. Measures 20-29: Reintroduction of the Mephistopheles theme (dialogue between Mephistopheles and Faust) In sensing Faust's vulnerability, Mephistopheles resumes his theme of temptation with greater force and conviction. Mephistopheles' words and promises resonate in Faust's subconscious. Measures 30-48: Reintroduction of Faust's theme, followed by the development of Mephistopheles' theme While continuing to lament his miserable situation, Faust is extremely tempted by Mephistopheles' entreaties. He considers teaming up with the Devil as a way of recovering from his dire situation and finally seducing the woman he associates with true Love. Faust winds up succumbing to temptation and enters into a pact with Mephistopheles (transition measure 36). At this point, Faust recites on his own Mephistopheles' theme, which then gets treated with a crescendo buildup until hitting higher notes. Faust feels "reborn". Measures 49-59: Finale Faust's theme is altered during a finale involving all instruments in the ensemble as well as the choir.

  • In Goethe's Faust, Unlike the Earlier Versions of the Story, the Faithless
    1 In G​ oethe’s Faust,​ unlike the earlier versions of the story, the faithless sinner that is Faust receives grace and goes to Heaven, rather than being thrown to the fires of Hell. Faust’s redemption is contrary to every other redemption in every other story we have read up till now. Faust wasn’t asking forgiveness from God, unlike his beloved Margaret, and so many others before him. Faust doesn’t seem even to believe in the all mighty, even when directly talking to the Devil himself. Yet, in the end, Mephisto’s plot is foiled, Faust’s soul is not cast into the inferno, but raised to paradise. Goethe has Faust receive a secular salvation, through Faust’s actions rather than through his belief. Goethe shows both the importance of action versus words, and Faust’s familiarity with the Bible, with Faust’s translation of Logos, “It says: ‘In the beginning was the W​ ord… I​ write: In the beginning was the A​ct.” (​G​ oethe's Faust,​ line 1224, 1237) Here, Faust demonstrates a clear understanding of a theological problem, the importance of a single word within the Bible. Having Logos translated as “the Word” has many more different implications than if it means “the Act”. The Act would imply the creation of everything was a direct application of Gods will. He did not need to say for something happen, God did something to put the universe in motion by action alone. Goethe includes this translation of Logos, as the Act instead of the Word, for several reasons.

  • To Obtain His Soul’: Demonic Desire for the Soul in Marlowe and Others
    Early Theatre 5.2(2002) john d. cox ‘To obtain his soul’: Demonic Desire for the Soul in Marlowe and Others ‘O, what will I not do to obtain his soul?’ exclaims Mephistopheles in Dr Faustus, at a moment of fearful doubt on Faustus’s part.1 The exclamation is a rare revelation of the devil’s purpose in this play. For the most part, Mephistopheles appears to be a courteous servant to a gentleman scholar: suave and anxious to please. His exclamation of desire for Faustus’s soul, however, betrays an unexpressed craving to dominate Faustus completely and forever. Mephistopheles has demanded that Faustus sign over his soul to the devil, but in the midst of signing Faustus has begun to waver, and the blood in the wound that he made to sign his name has ceased to flow. Surely this must be a providential warning against apostasy! Then Mephistopheles fetches a chafer of coals: ‘Here’s fire. Come, Faustus, set it on’ (2.1.70); the blood ‘begins to clear again’ (71); and Faustus signs. This is the moment at which Mephistopheles exclaims, in obvious self-congratulation, about his longing for Faustus’s soul. The exclamation seems to imply Mephistopheles’ glee at successful misdi- rection. Making the blood flow by warming the body reduces the problem of congealing blood to mere physiology, erasing Faustus’s fear of peril to his soul. Mephistopheles thus prevents Faustus from going back on his determination to serve the devil, so the demonic servant exults at having fooled Faustus into submission. This inference is confirmed when Mephistopheles uses the same technique immediately afterwards.

  • Communications and External Relations Intern Will Play an Important Role in the Communications and External Relations Department of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra
    The Communications and External Relations Intern will play an important role in the Communications and External Relations Department of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. This flexible unpaid internship will allow the student to engage in many aspects of marketing and public relations for the symphony, including, but not limited to, graphic design, press release writing, copywriting, social media engagement, media list updates and creation, and event promotion, among other duties. Interns will have the opportunity to generate writing and design samples for a portfolio from assignments for newsletters, email blasts, social media posts, etc. We are specifically interested in interns who can contribute to a variety of communication areas with an emphasis on writing and design. Organization Description: The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, known for its artistic excellence for more than 120 years, is credited with a rich history of the world’s finest conductors and musicians, and a strong commitment to the Pittsburgh region and its citizens. Past music directors have included Fritz Reiner (1938-1948), William Steinberg (1952-1976), Andre Previn (1976-1984), Lorin Maazel (1984-1996) and Mariss Jansons (1995-2004). This tradition of outstanding international music directors was furthered in fall 2008, when Austrian conductor Manfred Honeck became music director of the Pittsburgh Symphony. The orchestra has been at the forefront of championing new American works, and gave the first performance of Leonard Bernstein’s Symphony No. 1 “Jeremiah” in 1944. The Pittsburgh Symphony has a long and illustrious history in the areas of recordings and radio concerts. As early as 1936, the Pittsburgh Symphony broadcast on the airwaves coast-to-coast and in the late 1970s it made the ground breaking PBS series “Previn and the Pittsburgh.” The orchestra has received increased national attention since 1982 through network radio broadcasts on Public Radio International, produced by Classical WQED-FM 89.3, made possible by the musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

  • The Battle of Good and Evil in the Picture of Dorian Gray
    University of Iceland School of Humanities Department of English The Battle of Good and Evil in The Picture of Dorian Gray B.A Essay Svanhvít Helga Magnúsdóttir 0507922429 Supervisor: Ingibjörg Ágústsdóttir September 2015 1!! Abstract The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only novel published by Oscar Wilde. The novel is considered to be one of the most controversial literary works of the 19th century. In his novel Wilde uses his three main characters to reflect the battle of good and evil that exists in every man. The conflict of choosing between good and evil exists in every human with free will. This essay explores how the battle between good and evil is represented in the characters of Basil Hallward and Lord Henry Wotton in The Picture of Dorian Gray. It also discusses how Dorian Gray represents the everyman that deals with the battle of having to choose a side between good and evil. The Picture of Dorian Gray is a story about the spiritual journey of Dorian Gray, a beautiful young man tempted by the concept of eternal youth and beauty. Wilde uses personal experience and different literary themes to create his novel. In the novel there are elements of gothic fiction, aestheticism and the Faustian bargain. Faust and The Picture of Dorian Gray have many similarities, both in the structure of the stories, as well as in themes and plot. This essay looks at the similarities and differences between the corresponding representatives of good and evil, Lord Henry and Mephistopheles, Basil, the Lord and the three angels and Dorian Gray and Faust.
