  • AUTUNNO in MUSICA Festival De Musique Classique
    AUTUNNO IN MUSICA Festival de musique classique 16-30 OCTOBRE 2014 Le festival Autunno in Musica fête, en 2014, sa quatrième année d’existence en prolongeant ses ambitions patrimoniales, qui font que le passé revit grâce au présent et qu’il rend le présent plus vivant. Il met, comme toujours, l’accent sur le lieu dans lequel les concerts s’inscrivent, car c’est en partie à la mémoire des compositeurs qui vécurent dans les murs de la Villa Médicis qu’il se consacre, tout en s’ouvrant à une vision renouvelée de la musique écrite entre le XVIIIe siècle et le début du XXe, entre la France et l’Italie. Cette année voisineront certaines « vedettes » du Prix de Rome, comme Claude Debussy et André Caplet, d’autres en pleine réhabilitation comme Théodore Dubois, d’autres enfin dont un vrai travail de redécouverte permet d’apprécier la qualité, comme Gaston Salvayre. Mais Autunno in Musica n’oublie pas non plus certains « refusés » du concours, qu’ils soient « non-récompensés » comme Benjamin Godard et Ernest Chausson, ou seulement second Prix de Rome comme Nadia Boulanger et – ce fut le grand scandale de 1905 – Maurice Ravel. Autunno in Musica fait aussi cette année la part belle aux femmes compositrices, telles Marie Jaëll, Henriette Renié ou encore Cécile Chaminade. Pour défendre cette musique, il fallait que soient rassemblés les meilleurs interprètes actuels, avec un intérêt particulier porté à la jeune génération, capable de lectures audacieuses et inattendues : c’est le cas du jeune harpiste soliste de l’Opéra de Paris, Emmanuel Ceysson, du Trio Arcadis (2e prix du Concours international de musique de chambre de Lyon), de la mezzo-soprano Isabelle Druet (lauréate du Concours Reine Elizabeth et plus récemment du parcours Rising Star), ainsi que du Quatuor Giardini et du pianiste David Bismuth.

  • Il Favore Degli Dei (1690): Meta-Opera and Metamorphoses at the Farnese Court
    chapter 4 Il favore degli dei (1690): Meta-Opera and Metamorphoses at the Farnese Court Wendy Heller In 1690, Giovanni Maria Crescimbeni (1663–1728) and Gian Vincenzo Gravina (1664–1718), along with several of their literary colleagues, established the Arcadian Academy in Rome. Railing against the excesses of the day, their aim was to restore good taste and classical restraint to poetry, art, and opera. That same year, a mere 460 kilometres away, the Farnese court in Parma offered an entertainment that seemed designed to flout the precepts of these well- intentioned reformers.1 For the marriage of his son Prince Odoardo Farnese (1666–1693) to Dorothea Sofia of Neuberg (1670–1748), Duke Ranuccio II Farnese (1639–1694) spared no expense, capping off the elaborate festivities with what might well be one of the longest operas ever performed: Il favore degli dei, a ‘drama fantastico musicale’ with music by Bernardo Sabadini (d. 1718) and poetry by the prolific Venetian librettist Aurelio Aureli (d. 1718).2 Although Sabadini’s music does not survive, we are left with a host of para- textual materials to tempt the historical imagination. Aureli’s printed libretto, which includes thirteen engravings, provides a vivid sense of a production 1 The object of Crescimbeni’s most virulent condemnation was Giacinto Andrea Cicognini’s Giasone (1649), set by Francesco Cavalli, which Crescimbeni both praised as a most per- fect drama and condemned for bringing about the downfall of the genre.

Un moment en hiver avec Berlioz et Messiaen en Isère Enregistré en Matheysine, depuis la Maison Messiaen ayant appartenu à Olivier Messiaen et aujourd’hui résidence d’artistes, ce concert vient célébrer deux compositeurs qui, à près de 100 ans d’intervalle, ont admiré les paysages évocateurs de l’Isère et du Dauphiné : Hector Berlioz (11 décembre 1803 – 8 mars 1869) et Olivier Messiaen (10 décembre 1908 – 27 avril 1992). Pour ne pas terminer l’année sans musique, après l’annulation contrainte du Festival Berlioz et du Festival Messiaen au pays de la Meije, la mezzo-soprano Isabelle Druet et la pianiste Anne Le Bozec, répondant à notre invitation, fêtent l’anniversaire des deux compositeurs à travers quelques-unes de leurs plus belles œuvres pour voix et piano : PROGRAMME : Olivier Messiaen, Harawi, extrait : IV - Doundou tchil Hector Berlioz, Les Nuits d’été Olivier Messiaen, Harawi, extrait : XII - Dans le noir Catalogue d’Oiseaux, extrait : Livre III - L’alouette Lulu LES NUITS D’ÉTÉ - HECTOR BERLIOZ aimée se nomme Piroutcha – comme il le fera également dans sa Turangalîla-Symphonie et les Cinq rechants.

  • Berlioz's Les Nuits D'été
    Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été - A survey of the discography by Ralph Moore The song cycle Les nuits d'été (Summer Nights) Op. 7 consists of settings by Hector Berlioz of six poems written by his friend Théophile Gautier. Strictly speaking, they do not really constitute a cycle, insofar as they are not linked by any narrative but only loosely connected by their disparate treatment of the themes of love and loss. There is, however, a neat symmetry in their arrangement: two cheerful, optimistic songs looking forward to the future, frame four sombre, introspective songs. Completed in 1841, they were originally for a mezzo-soprano or tenor soloist with a piano accompaniment but having orchestrated "Absence" in 1843 for his lover and future wife, Maria Recio, Berlioz then did the same for the other five in 1856, transposing the second and third songs to lower keys. When this version was published, Berlioz specified different voices for the various songs: mezzo-soprano or tenor for "Villanelle", contralto for "Le spectre de la rose", baritone (or, optionally, contralto or mezzo) for "Sur les lagunes", mezzo or tenor for "Absence", tenor for "Au cimetière", and mezzo or tenor for "L'île inconnue". However, after a long period of neglect, in their resurgence in modern times they have generally become the province of a single singer, usually a mezzo-soprano – although both mezzos and sopranos sometimes tinker with the keys to ensure that the tessitura of individual songs sits in the sweet spot of their voices, and transpositions of every song are now available so that it can be sung in any one of three - or, in the case of “Au cimetière”, four - key options; thus, there is no consistency of keys across the board.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Finding Their Voice: Women Musicians of Baroque Italy Faith Poynor emale musicians began to achieve greater freedom and indepen- dence from men during the Baroque period, and their music and Fcreative talent consequently began to flourish. Due to the rise in popularity of female vocal ensembles that resulted after the establishment of the con- certo delle donne in 1580, women composers in early modern Italy gained greater access to musical training previously only available to men or nuns. As seen by the works of composers and singers such as Francesca Caccini and Barbara Strozzi, this led to an unprecedented increase in women’s mu- sical productivity, particularly in vocal music. The rise of female vocal ensembles in the early Baroque period was a pivotal moment in women’s music history, as women finally achieved wide- spread recognition for their talents as musicians.
