  • La Generazione Dell'ottanta and the Italian Sound
    LA GENERAZIONE DELL’OTTANTA AND THE ITALIAN SOUND A DISSERTATION IN Trumpet Performance Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS by ALBERTO RACANATI M.M., Western Illinois University, 2016 B.A., Conservatorio Piccinni, 2010 Kansas City, Missouri 2021 LA GENERAZIONE DELL’OTTANTA AND THE ITALIAN SOUND Alberto Racanati, Candidate for the Doctor of Musical Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2021 ABSTRACT . La Generazione dell’Ottanta (The Generation of the Eighties) is a generation of Italian composers born in the 1880s, all of whom reached their artistic maturity between the two World Wars and who made it a point to part ways musically from the preceding generations that were rooted in operatic music, especially in the Verismo tradition. The names commonly associated with the Generazione are Alfredo Casella (1883-1947), Gian Francesco Malipiero (1882-1973), Ildebrando Pizzetti (1880-1968), and Ottorino Respighi (1879- 1936). In their efforts to create a new music that sounded unmistakingly Italian and fueled by the musical nationalism rampant throughout Europe at the time, the four composers took inspiration from the pre-Romantic music of their country. Individually and collectively, they embarked on a journey to bring back what they considered the golden age of Italian music, with each one yielding a different result. iii Through the creation of artistic associations facilitated by the fascist government, the musicians from the Generazione established themselves on the international scene and were involved with performances of their works around the world.

  • Ildebrando Pizzetti
    ILDEBRANDO PIZZETTI Nato a Parma nel 1880, Ildebrando Pizzetti fu iniziato dal padre allo studio del pianoforte; studiò poi Composizione al Conservatorio della sua città ed ottenne il Diploma nel 1901, mettendosi ben presto in luce con le musiche di scena per “La nave” di D'Annunzio (nel 1908); nello stesso anno assunse la cattedra di Armonia e Contrappunto al Conservatorio di Firenze, che diresse poi dal 1917 al 1923. Nel 1924 venne nominato direttore del Conservatorio di Milano, che lasciò nel 1936 per assumere la cattedra di perfezionamento in Composizione, lasciata vacante da Ottorino Respighi, all'Accademia di Santa Cecilia di Roma (fra i suoi allievi si ricordano Nino Rota, Mario Castelnuovo – Tedesco, Gianandrea Gavazzeni e molti altri). All'intensa attività creativa, il musicista affiancò fin dalla giovinezza quella di critico, di musicologo e di direttore dei propri lavori teatrali e sinfonici in tournées artistiche non solo in Europa, ma anche nell'America del Nord. Fu poi anche presidente dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia (dal 1949) e negli ultimi anni della sua vita diresse l'Istituto di Studi Verdiani a Parma. Anch’egli fu insignito dei titoli di Grande Ufficiale e Cavaliere di Gran Croce al Merito della Repubblica Italiana. Partendo dalla produzione strumentale, specificamente dai suoi due Quartetti per archi, dai due Trii per pianoforte e archi, e dalla Sonata per violino e pianoforte, si nota un gusto per la freschezza melodica che troviamo anche nelle pagine operistiche come Fedra e La figlia di Jorio di Gabriele D'Annunzio, in Fra' Gherardo, Lo straniero, Orseolo, Assassinio nella cattedrale (da Eliot) e Clitennestra, l'ultima sua opera.

  • Orchestra Del Teatro La Fenice 2021
    ORCHESTRA DEL TEATRO LA FENICE La storia dell’Orchestra del Teatro La Fenice è legata a quella del teatro stesso, centro produttivo di primaria importanza che nel corso dell’Ottocento ha presentato prime assolute di opere fondamentali nella storia del melodramma (Semiramide, I Capuleti e i Montecchi, Rigoletto, La traviata). Nella seconda parte del secolo scorso l’impegno dei complessi orchestrali si concentrò nell’internazionalizzazione del repertorio, ampliato anche sul fronte sinfonico-concertistico (con solisti quali Enrico Mainardi, Mstislav Rostropovič, Edwin Fischer, Aldo Ferraresi, Arthur Rubinstein). Nel corso dell’Otto e Novecento, sul podio dell’Orchestra si susseguirono celebri direttori e compositori: Lorenzo Perosi, Giuseppe Martucci, Arturo Toscanini, Antonio Guarnieri, Richard Strauss, Pietro Mascagni, Giorgio Ghedini, Ildebrando Pizzetti, Goffredo Petrassi, Alfredo Casella, Gian Francesco Malipiero, Willy Ferrero, Leopold Stokowski, Fritz Reiner, Vittorio Gui, Tullio Serafin, Giuseppe Del Campo, Nino Sanzogno, Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, Carlo Zecchi, John Barbirolli, Herbert Albert, Franco Ferrara, Guido Cantelli, Thomas Schippers, Dimitri Mitropoulos. Nel 1938 il Teatro La Fenice divenne Ente Autonomo: anche l’Orchestra vide un riassetto e un rilancio, grazie pure all’attiva partecipazione al Festival di musica contemporanea della Biennale d’Arte. Negli anni Quaranta e Cinquanta sotto la guida di Scherchen, Bernstein, Celibidache (impegnato nell’integrale delle sinfonie beethoveniane), Konwitschny (nell’integrale del Ring

  • La Critica Musicale (1918-1923)
    Introduction to: Marika Di Cesare, Critica musicale (1918-1923) Copyright © 2007 RIPM Consortium Ltd Répertoire international de la presse musicale (www.ripm.org) La Critica musicale (1918-1923) La Critica musicale [CMU] began publication in January 1918. It is presented to the readers in an unpretentious, almost austere guise: in small format, without illustrations, and with an index of its contents printed on the front cover of each fascicle. Its structure is simple, featuring short monographic essays. Some of the essays are continued in successive fascicles. The periodical is issued in monthly installments, and each fascicle is priced one Lira. The place of publication is Florence, a city renowned for its cultivation of philological- historical studies and for its glorious literary tradition. Perhaps it is not accidental that between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries various periodicals are flourishing there such as Il Marzocco, La Voce directed by Giuseppe Prezzolini, Lacerba directed by Giovanni Papini and Ardengo Soffici.1 The director La Critica musicale is Luigi Parigi (1883-1955), a young Florentine intellectual. His prose is vibrant, intensive, conceptual and at times characterized by piercing humour. In the opening pages of the first fascicle he outlines the aims of the periodical: it intends to be a useful cultural tool. He believed that artistic creation must be preceded by reflection and meditation: this is the strategy to follow and pursue for the advancement of artistic production. During this period Italian musical life was undergoing a phase of particular ferment, aiming to renew itself. It was deemed necessary to overcome the operatic tradition inherited from the nineteenth century, considered to be the cause of extreme cultural impoverishment.

  • Ildebrando Pizzetti (1880 - 1968) Complete Music for Piano
    Ildebrando Pizzetti (1880 - 1968) Complete music for piano Nel panorama musicale italiano a cavallo tra Ottocento e Novecento, Ildebrando Pizzetti si ascrive a quella generazione cosidetta dell'Ottanta i cui esponenti più significativi, oltre a lui, sono : Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936), Gian Francesco Malipiero (1882-1973) e Alfredo Casella (1883-1947). Soppesando la singola quantità della produzione pianistica di ognuno dei quattro compositori, si può constatare che Respighi e Pizzetti hanno scritto relativamente poco per il pianoforte, al contrario di Malipiero e Casella (soprattutto) che più attenzioni rivolsero al vecchio strumento di Bartolomeo Cristofori. Volendo poi valutare la cifra stilistica di ciascun autore potremmo considerare, ma con cautela, Respighi e Pizzetti più propensi a ravvivare echi del passato e Malipiero e Casella più curiosi nell' indagare il futuro. Il pianoforte è comunque confidente amato da Pizzetti che oltre alla circoscritta opera pianistica realizzò un nucleo importante, dal punto di vista qualitativo, di lavori per pianoforte e archi e una ampia serie di liriche per voce e pianoforte. Il corpus pianistico di Pizzetti è nettamente diviso in due periodi. Al primo periodo, giovanile, appartengono otto lavori che vanno dal 1899 al 1915; nel secondo periodo, più maturo, troviamo tre composizioni negli anni 1942-43; i "Canti della stagione alta" per pianoforte e orchestra, composto nel 1930, si colloca al centro dell'arco di questo specifico percorso. Pizzetti mai si sottrasse al culto, tutto tipicamente italiano, della melodia. Questa vocazione al canto, intriso di lirica drammaticità, anche se non sono esenti ampi momenti di gioia, è una componente imprescindibile in tutte le composizioni e non solo pianistiche.

  • Rawson Duo Concert Series, 2010-11
    What’s Next? February: Bach of Ages, assorted suites and savory ~ on Friday and Sunday, February 25 & 27, 2 pm the Rawson Duo will present music of J. S. Bach at their Chimacum home. Rawson Duo Concert Series, 2010-11 Perhaps the most celebrated composer in history, considered by many the greatest of all time; room for an added voice? Study of Bach, his times, his all consuming mastery of counterpoint has been at the heart of the Rawson’s training, and in this special presentation they depart from their usual research paths into the forgotten and plunge headlong into an afternoon exploration of this composer’s vast musical landscape. Included on the program will be the Sonata in A Major for violin and keyboard. Breaking away from Baroque basso continuo tradition, it is an example of a new path for instrumental composing that Bach initiated, treating the two instruments as equal duo partners for the first time and paving the way toward a rich world world of chamber music to follow ~ exquisitely written, touching the heart of all ages. From his set of 6 Sonatas and Partitas for unaccompanied violin, Alan will present Bach’s monumental Partita No. 2 in D minor, a work he’s studied, analyzed, and taught over the past 35 years, but has never performed in its entirety. The famous chaconne movement, hypnotic and spellbinding, reaching a higher level, especially places this work among Bach’s greatest. Other selections will include transcriptions from the Well Tempered Clavier and sacred organ works. And of course Sandy will complement their suites and savories with her culinary passion.

  • Murder in the Cathedral, San Diego Opera Reviewed by Charlene Baldridge Reviews 1 Freelance Theater and Music Critic
    Time Present The Newsletter of the T. S. Eliot Society number 80 SUMMER 2013 CONTENTS Murder in the Cathedral, San Diego Opera Reviewed by Charlene Baldridge Reviews 1 Freelance theater and music critic 2013 Conference rom March 30 through April 2, San Diego Opera presented the West Coast premiere of Program 3 FIldebrando Pizzetti’s 1953 opera, Murder in the Cathedral (Assassinio nella Cattedrale), based upon Alberto Castelli’s Italian translation of T. S. Eliot’s 1935 verse play of the same Society Notes 10 name. San Diego audiences heard Murder in the Cathedral in Italian with English supertitles—a roundabout way to receive Eliot’s narrative about the assassination of the Archbishop of Public Sightings 11 Canterbury. The San Diego Opera (SDO) production, staged by SDO general and artistic director Ian Eliot News 11 Campbell, designed by Ralph Funicello, and built in SDO’s scene shop, was so eagerly antici- pated that the national magazine Opera News printed an advance article in its March edition Eliot Bibliography 12 and also, on the day following the opening, posted an online review. The Opera News review and others, including that of The Los Angeles Times, were positive, and a spokesperson at Abstracts 18 San Diego Opera reports that at least two major opera companies are considering their own productions. Eliot Centennials 20 This is an amazing turn of events for an opera largely ignored for more than fifty years. The premiere of Pizzetti’s Murder in the Cathedral took place in 1953 at Milan’s La Scala with bass Nicola Rossi-Lemini as Becket and was followed by what Opera News calls a flurry of productions in Europe and North America, among which were a production in Montreal that fall, a concert version at Carnegie Hall, and a 1960 production at Vienna State Opera conducted by Herbert von Karajan.
