Prunier, a friend of Magda’s, improvises a story about a woman named Doretta who chooses to reject love from a king. Following his performance, Magda improvises a song herself and suggests that Doretta may find happiness in a student’s love for her. Her song begs the beautiful question: “What do riches matter if true happiness blooms from love?” “Chi il bel sogno di Doretta” from La rondine Libretto by Alfred Maria Willner / Heinz Reichert Chi il bel sogno di Doretta Who could Doretta’s beautiful dream potè indovinar? ever guess? Il suo mister come mai, Her mystery how come it’s never- come mai fini? how come it’s never ending? Ahimè! Un giorno uno studente Alas! One day a student in bocca la bacio, kisses her on the lips, È fu quel bacio And it was such a kiss rivelazione: A revelation: Fu la passione! It was passion! Folle amore! Crazy love! Folle ebbrezza! Crazy intoxication! Chi la sottil carezza Who could this subtle caress d’un bacio così ardente of a flaming kiss mai ridi potrà? ever describe? Ah! mio sogno! Ah! My dream! Ah! mia vita! Ah! My life! Che importa la richezza Who cares about the riches se alfine è rifiorita, if it finally flourishes la felicità! into happiness? O sogno d’or— Oh, golden dream— poter amar così To be able to love such as this! Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) Edvard Grieg is a Norwegian composer who wrote many lasting German lied, and founded the Norwegian Nationalist School of Music. His music is most known for its refined lyricism, and his late-Romantic style of harmonization. Grieg was skilled in his beautiful depictions of text and presenting the imagery musically from the eye of the poet. “Ein Traum” meaning, A dream, depicts a scene in which a person describes their dream of meeting their lover for the first time within the forest. The illusion of the forest is beautiful and alive within their mind’s eye, until the person recognizes that they truly have encountered the love of their life, and how this dream no longer lives solely in their mind, but in their reality. “Ein Traum” Sechs Lieder, Op. 48 Mir träumte einst ein schooner Traum: I once dreamed a beautiful dream: Mich liebte eine blonde Maid: A blonde maiden loved me, Es war am grünen Waldesraum, it was in the green woodland glade, Es war zur warmen Frühlingszeit: it was in the warm springtime: Die knospe sprang, der Waldbach Schwoll, The buds bloomed, the forest stream swelled, Fern aus dem Dorfe scholl Geläut— from the distant village came the sound of bells— Wir waren ganzer Wonne voll, We were full of bliss, Versunken ganz in Seligkeit. so lost in the happiness. Und schooner noch also einst der Traum, And more beautiful yet than the dream, Begab es sich in Wirklichkeit— it came to pass in reality— Es war am grünen Waldesraum, It was in the green woodland glade, Es war zur warmen Frühlingszeit: it was in the warm springtime: Der Waldbach schwoll, die Knospe sprang, The forest stream swelled, the buds bloomed, Geläut erscholl vom Dorfe her— From the village came the sound of bells – Ich hielt dich fest, ich hielt dich lang, I held you fast, I held you long, Und lasse dich nun nimmermehr! and now shall never let you go! Oh frühlingsgrüner Waldesraum! O woodland glade so green with spring dreams! Du lebst in mir durch alle Zeit— You shall live in me for evermore— Dort ward die Wirklichkeit zum Traum, There reality became a dream, Dort ward der Traum zur Wirklichkeit There dream became reality! Joseph Marx (1882-1964) Austrian composer, Joseph Marx, is known for his songs, symphonies, piano concerts of and chamber music. His works are notable for their dream-like quality, as well as their freedom, use of modern harmonies, and sweeping lines for both the voice and piano. His skill in creating a beautiful connection between the two instruments is most stunning. “Nachtgebet” meaning night prayer, depicts a lovers message illustrating her desire towards them in the most sensual imagery. Describing their love as worthy of “worship”, and her soul as “drowning innocently” in love. Listen for conversation between the piano and voice, as they move in and out of tempo and key centers effortlessly created by Marx. “Nachtgebet” Libretto by Ernst Heinz Hess O sähst du mich jetzt beten Oh, if you could see me worship now zu deinen heiligtiefen Augen, your sacred deep eyes, die fragend zu mir flehten who beseechingly question me wie nach Liebe, as if for love; du schlössest deine tiefen Augen, You would close your deep eyes, daß ich nicht drein versinke so that I wouldn’t drown wie in Liebe. in your love. O sähst du, wie ich bete Oh, if you could me worship now zu deiner kinderfrohen Seele, your innocent soul, es schwiege deine Kinderseele, your innocent soul would remain silent, daß sie nicht untergehe so that it wouldn’t drown in meiner Liebe. in my love. Richard Strauss (1864-1949) Richard Strauss is a prolific German composer whose compositions fall within the late 19th and early 20th century Romantic period. He is most known for his opera and symphonic masterworks, which are an essential part of the standard repertoire. “Cäcilie” was written by Strauss the day before his wedding to the soprano, Pauline de Ahna. The songs a part of Op. 27 were given to her as a wedding gift. The text describes a relationship between two lovers, and their yearning for one another. Strauss’ compositional skills are at their grandest within this piece, while also showcasing stunning color changes throughout within the vocal and piano line. “Cäcilie” Op. 24, No. 2 Wenn Du est wüßtest, If you knew Was träumen heißt What it is to dream Von brennenden küssen , Of burning kisses, Von Wandern und Ruhen Of walking and resting, Mit der Geliebten, With one’s love, Aug’ in Auge, Gazing at eachother, Und kosend und plaudernd— And caressing and talking— Wenn Du est wüßtest. If you knew, Du neigtest Dein Herz! Your heart would turn to me! Wenn Du est wüßtest, If you knew, Was bangen heißt What it is to worry In einsamen Nächten, On lonely nights Umschauert vom Sturm, In the frightening storm, Da Niemand tröstet With no soft voice Milden Mundes To comfort Die kampfmüde Seele— The struggling weary soul— Wenn Du est wüßtest, If you knew, Du kämest zu mir.

  • The Visual Aspects of Le Mage
    The visual aspects of Le Mage Michela Niccolai The first part of Massenet’s career was marked by the composition of several grand operas: Le Roi de Lahore (1877), Hérodiade (1881), Le Cid (1885) and Le Mage (1891). The latter , produced at the Paris Opéra, directed at that time by Ritt and Gailhard, was lavishly staged and the number of costumes was extraordinary. Even so, it remained on the bill, between spring and autumn 1891, for just thirty-one performances, from the première on 16 March. The new work was not received with great enthusiasm in the press. Henry Moreno (pen name of the publisher Henri Heugel) reported in the columns of Le Ménestre l: Pointless cliché: that is what characterises Le Mage . [...] Monsieur Massenet is obviously in a difficult period, in which he is no longer able to see clear - ly the path he had been following so successfully since the beginning. Like his hero Zarastra, he is badly in need of a spell of contemplation. He would do well to withdraw to the holy mountain to consider the dangers of over- hasty production, and then return to us stronger, fortified, ready to take on new challenges. (Henri Moreno, ‘Semaine Théâtrale, Le Mage ’, Le Ménestrel , 22 March 1891, no 12, p. 92.) Even among those close to Massenet, some appear to have been disap - pointed in their expectations of Le Mage . His friend and pupil Gustave Charpentier wrote to his father from Paris on 18 March 1891: 69 jules massenet: le mage The day before yesterday I attended the première of Le Mage (by Massenet).

In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.

A diary nevertheless differs from a musical composition in that it depicts the moment, the writer's present mood which, were it inscribed an hour later, could emerge quite otherwise. I don't believe that composers notate their moods, they don't tell the music where to go - it leads them....Why do I write music? Because I want to hear it - it's simple as that. Others may have more talent, more sense of duty. But I compose just from necessity, and no one else is making what I need." The Cycle’s Skeleton and Component Parts - Composed mostly in 1997 with two songs from earlier “Boy with a Baseball Glove” (used the melody as a theme for his violin concerto) and “He thinks upon his death” - The thirty-six texts chosen were by twenty-four authors of poetry and prose (with a translation by Rorem himself).
