Roberts Professor George Haggerty, UC Riverside Professor Kevis Goodman Fall 2013 Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment Copyright 2013 by Jonathan Rhodes Lee ABSTRACT Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Throughout the 1740s and early 1750s, Handel produced a dozen dramatic oratorios. These works and the people involved in their creation were part of a widespread culture of sentiment. This term encompasses the philosophers who praised an innate “moral sense,” the novelists who aimed to train morality by reducing audiences to tears, and the playwrights who sought (as Colley Cibber put it) to promote “the Interest and Honour of Virtue.” The oratorio, with its English libretti, moralizing lessons, and music that exerted profound effects on the sensibility of the British public, was the ideal vehicle for writers of sentimental persuasions. My dissertation explores how the pervasive sentimentalism in England, reaching first maturity right when Handel committed himself to the oratorio, influenced his last masterpieces as much as it did other artistic products of the mid- eighteenth century. When searching for relationships between music and sentimentalism, historians have logically started with literary influences, from direct transferences, such as operatic settings of Samuel Richardson’s Pamela, to indirect ones, such as the model that the Pamela character served for the Ninas, Cecchinas, and other garden girls of late eighteenth-century opera.

From the warped garage rock opening of Interstellar Overdrive, Astronomy Domine and Lucifer Sam to the closing proto-shoe gaze blitz of One of These Days and bent musical hall wackiness of Point Me at the Sky, it was a set of such startling intensity it seemed to mock the very notion of nostalgia.

  • Handel: Heaven and Harmony the Brandenburg Choir
    THE BRANDENBURG HANDEL: HEAVEN CHOIR AND HARMONY GEORGE FRIDERIC HANDEL (1685–1759) When we think of Handel, most of us probably think first of the oratorios, especially Messiah, and then perhaps of instrumental pieces such as the Water Music, but instrumental compositions formed only a relatively small portion of Handel’s total output of some six hundred works. He saw himself primarily as a vocal composer, and to his contemporaries he was one of the finest opera composers of the age, writing forty two operas in all. His first opera was produced in Hamburg in 1705, when he was only twenty, but his career as both composer and impresario really took off when he moved to London in 1711, where he mounted a series of phenomenally successful Italian opera seasons which included masterpieces such as Giulio Cesare (Julius Caesar) and Alcina. In 1733 a rival opera company was set up, the Opera of the Nobility, which poached Handel’s best singers and drew the support of wealthy patrons away from Handel’s The Brandenburg Choir is renowned for its Noël!

  • Con Certgebouw Cahier
    CONCERTGEBOUWCAHIER Georg Friedrich HÄNDEL — Ignace Bossuyt Voorwoord Beste lezer, In 2009 wordt Georg Friedrich Händel herdacht, 250 jaar na zijn over- lijden. Voor het Concertgebouw is deze herdenking een ideaal aan- knopingspunt voor een festival en een publicatie rond dit boegbeeld uit de barokperiode. In dit tweede Concertgebouwcahier wordt het veelzijdige en muzikaal hoogstaande oeuvre van Händel in zijn context geplaatst. De kosmopoliet Händel assimileerde de Duitse en Italiaanse muzikale praxis en ontpopte zich in Londen tot een ongeëvenaarde componist van - vooral - opera's en oratoria. Als zelfbewuste kunste- naar die zich erg onafhankelijk opstelde, was hij zowel componist als manager. De ‘ups en downs’ die hiermee gepaard gingen, maken van zijn levensloop een intrigerend verhaal. De uitgebreide en overzichtelijke biografie biedt een inkijk in het leven en de carrière van Georg Friedrich Händel. In een tweede deel worden de belangrijkste genres beknopt besproken. De evolutie en de stijl van Händels composities worden aan de hand van enkele representatieve voorbeelden concreet belicht. De keuze voor Ignace Bossuyt als auteur was een evidentie. Ignace Bossuyt wakkert al decennialang het muzikale vuur aan bij melomanen, niet alleen als wetenschapper en docent, maar ook als auteur en inlei- der. Zijn gedrevenheid en talent om het muzikale repertoire krachtig en helder toe te lichten, spreekt uit elke pagina. Dit cahier is dan ook een ideaal vertrekpunt om de muziek van Georg Friedrich Händel voor een breed publiek te ontsluiten. Deze introductie wil vooral ook een stimulans zijn om de platgetreden paden van het 'populaire' Händel- repertoire te verlaten en in het schitterende oeuvre van Händel nieuwe horizonten te ontdekken.

    Visions and Voyages: Canada 1663–1763 PROGRAM NOTES By Alison Mackay Visions and Voyages is Tafelmusik’s contribution to the national activities commemorating the 150th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation in 1867. In order to feature some of the most beautiful music in our core repertoire, we have chosen to explore the century between 1663, when Quebec was established by Louis XIV as a royal province of France, and 1763, when North America came under the control of the British crown. A new & accurate map of the islands of Newfoundland, Cape Breton, St. John and Anticosta; together with the neighbouring countries of Nova Scotia, Canada, &c. Emanuel Bowen [London, W. Innys, 1752]. Library of Congress Geography and Map Division, Washington, D.C. This century saw the flowering of secular music by Purcell, Handel, Lully, Marais, and Rameau, much of it written for monarchs who gained prosperity and prestige from their Canadian colonies. Instrumental works by these composers provide the musical portion of Visions and Voyages. Diaries, letters, archival records, ships’ manifests, account books, and religious mission reports called “Relations” provide rich details about life in Canada at this time, and much of the material for the spoken narration of the concert is taken from them. These sources often reveal a dark picture of European attitudes to the first inhabitants of Canada, and set the stage for the crushing of Native cultures and the establishment of residential schools which came with Confederation and the establishment of the Indian Act. Seeking an expression of life in Canada before European contact, we have turned to the beautiful writing of the poet and scholar Armand Garnet Ruffo (photo, left), a band member of the Fox Lake Chapleau Cree First Nation and a citizen of the Ojibwe nation.

  • PINK FLOYD ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM DETAILS - the Endless River, Release Date 10 November
    2014-09-22 16:05 CEST PINK FLOYD ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM DETAILS - The Endless River, release date 10 november. Details about The Endless River, the new Pink Floyd album from David Gilmour, Rick Wright and Nick Mason, were revealed today as the album artwork appeared on buildings in ten international cities, including an eight metre lit installation on London’s South Bank. The album will be released on Parlophone on 10 November and is produced by David Gilmour, Phil Manzanera, Youth and Andy Jackson. David Gilmour said: “The Endless River has as its starting point the music that came from the 1993 Division Bell sessions. We listened to over 20 hours of the three of us playing together and selected the music we wanted to work on for the new album. Over the last year we've added new parts, re-recorded others and generally harnessed studio technology to make a 21st century Pink Floyd album. With Rick gone, and with him the chance of ever doing it again, it feels right that these revisited and reworked tracks should be made available as part of our repertoire.” Nick Mason said: “The Endless River is a tribute to Rick. I think this record is a good way of recognizing a lot of what he does and how his playing was at the heart of the Pink Floyd sound. Listening back to the sessions, it really brought home to me what a special player he was.” The Endless River is mainly an instrumental album across ‘four sides’ with one song, ‘Louder Than Words’ with new lyrics by Polly Samson.

  • Barrett Vol 1.Pdf
    Introduction usician, psychedelic explorer, eccentric, cult icon – Roger “Syd” Barrett was many things to many people. Created in conjunction with the Barrett family and The Estate of Roger Barrett, who have provided unprece- dented access to family photographs, artworks, and mem- Mories, Barrett offers an intimate portrait of the Syd known only to his family and closest friends. Previously unseen photographs taken on seaside holidays and other family occasions show us a happy and loving young man, smiling energetically in images that map his early life, from childhood through his teenage years. Along with newly available photos from the album cover shoots for The Madcap Laughs and Barrett (taken by Storm Thorgerson and Mick Rock) they reveal the positive energy of a grinning Syd as he fools about in front of the camera. We are offered a rare glimpse of one who was immensely popular among friends and contemporaries. Also contained within these pages are recently unearthed images of Pink Floyd in which we see Syd practising handstands, making muscle-man poses, and having fun. The other members of Floyd lark about too – a fledgling young band enjoying itself with a sense of real camaraderie. The images transport one back in time to 166–67: the London Free School gigs, the launch of International Times at the Roundhouse, the UFO club, the band’s first European dates. There are photos of Syd and Floyd at numerous locations and events, giving a real sense of what it must have been like to be there as the infant light shows, experimentation, and collective spirit of the time emerged, grew, and flourished in the psychedelic hothouse that was the late 160s.
