  • Polyeucte, by Paul Dukas. David Procházka, the University of Akron
    The University of Akron From the SelectedWorks of David Procházka 2018 Polyeucte, by Paul Dukas. David Procházka, The University of Akron Available at: https://works.bepress.com/david-prochazka/1/ Paul Dukas (b. Paris, 1 October 1865 - d. Paris, 17 May 1935) Polyeucte Overturefor orchestra ( 1891 ) Preface Paul Abraham Dukas was a French musician who worked as a critic, composer, editor, teacher, and inspector of music institutions across France. He was the middle of three children. His mother was a pianist, and his father was a banker. The familywas of Jewish descent, but seemed to focus more on thecultural life of Paris than on religious matters. Show­ ing some musical talent in his adolescence, Dukas' fatherencouraged him to enroll in the Conservatoire de Paris, which he did at the age of 16. It was here that Dukas began a life-long friendshipwith Claude Debussy, who was three years his senior. While Dukas was moderately successfulas a student, the crowning Prix de Rome eluded him in four successive years. In 1886 and 1887, he did not reach the finals; in 1888 he submitted the cantata Vel/eda, and in 1889 he offeredthe cantata Semele, neither of which were chosen as the winning composition. Discouraged, Dukas leftthe Conservatoire to fulfill his military service. He returnedto Paris and began a dual career as critic and composer in 1891. With time, Dukas also became a music editor, working on modem editions of works by Rameau, Couperin, Scarlatti, and Beethoven. He returnedto the Conservatoireto teach orchestration ( 1910-1913) and composition (beginning in 1928); he also taught at the Ecole Nonnale.

  • The Appropriation of the Pagan Honorary Column in Early Constan
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Christianizing the Skyline: The Appropriation of the Pagan Honorary Column in Early Constantinople A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture by Pelin Yoncacı Arslan 2015 © Copyright by Pelin Yoncacı Arslan 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Christianizing the Skyline: The Appropriation of the Pagan Honorary Column in Early Constantinople by Pelin Yoncacı Arslan Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Diane G. Favro, Chair The freestanding column with culminating statue is generally viewed as a relatively limited genre in Roman art and architecture. The purpose of such a column varies between glorifying a victory and honoring an individual for his or her achievements. While the best-known examples were created in Rome during the Empire, such columns were common in early Byzantine Constantinople as well. This dissertation examines four such monuments: the Columns of Constantine, Theodosius I, Arcadius, and Justinian. These towering monuments were erected in imperial fora along the Mese, the main ceremonial thoroughfare passing across the city of Constantinople. The first part of the dissertation focuses on the art historical and material aspects of column monuments and illustrates the formal and urbanistic innovations applied in Constantinople. Comparison to other column monuments and monuments alike, both in the western and eastern Roman world, situates these built objects within their cultural contexts. The ii second part of the study addresses the visibility of the columns in the ritual and daily experience, focusing on secular and religious urban processions held along the branches of the Mese.

The Martyrology is one of the six official books of the Church's liturgy, its use in the choral recitation of the Divine Office is obligatory. Because of the salutary effects derived from the reading of this sacred volume, various Pontiffs have urged its use by those who recite the Office privately.

The 2015 programme includes three new productions – two of which are works never previously seen at Glyndebourne. The first ever UK staging of Donizetti’s Poliuto will reunite conductor Enrique Mazzola and director Mariame Clément following their much-admired Don Pasquale in 2013. Handel’s Saul will be the fifth stage work by the composer to be presented in the ‘new’ theatre and marks the Glyndebourne debut of one of today’s most sought-after international directors, the Australian-born Barrie Kosky, as well as the welcome return of conductor Ivor Bolton. Music director Robin Ticciati continues his exploration of Mozart at Glyndebourne with a new staging of Die Entführung aus dem Serail – a collaboration with one of this country’s finest directors, David McVicar. Fiona Shaw’s critically acclaimed production of The Rape of Lucretia is presented as part of the Festival for the first time – continuing a line of highly successful Britten productions at Glyndebourne, and bringing the work back to the place where it was first performed in 1946. Completing the season are three masterpieces from the French operatic tradition. Bizet’s Carmen remains one of the most captivating operas ever written while Ravel’s two perfect miniatures, L’heure espagnole and L’enfant et les sortilèges, make up a brilliantly conceived double bill from director Laurent Pelly.
