  • The Hero of Karol Szymanowski's Opera King Roger In
    4 Password ‘Roger’. The Hero of Karol Szymanowski’s Opera King Roger in Tadeusz Miciński’s Theatre of the Soul Edward Boniecki Institute of Literary Research, Polish Academy of Sciences Towards the end of the first act of Szymanowski’s opera King Roger, the hero of the title, ruler of Sicily, calls to judgment the Shepherd, who is the cause of religious confusion through preaching about an unknown God, with the following words: When the stars light up in the dark blue sky, you will come to the gates of my palace. There the guard will challenge you with ‘Shepherd’, and you will answer them: ‘Roger’.1 The challenge is ‘Shepherd’ and the response is ‘Roger’. But when in the second act the Shepherd arrives at Roger’s palace, he responds to the guards’ challenge, ‘Shepherd’, by correcting them: ‘Challenge: Roger!’ Might this be the librettist’s mistake? Should the response really be ‘Shepherd’? It soon turns out that this is in fact the case, because it is King Roger, wearing a pilgrim’s clothes, following the Shepherd who awakens in him a response. That response is the answer, to his own, Roger’s, existence, since the King’s soul, when challenged by the King as to its own identity, responded with ‘Shepherd’. Roger’s name opened the gates of the palace of the King of Sicily to the Shepherd. The challenge ‘Roger’ opens up the world of Szymanowski’s the- atrical imagination, created in his opera.2 Central to it is the character of King Roger, who exercises absolute rule over Sicily, and over the composer’s 57 58 Edward Boniecki imagination (it was the composer himself who changed the original title of the libretto by Iwaszkiewicz from The Shepherd to King Roger).

  • (KING ROGER) Opera in Three Acts by Karol Szymanowski Libretto by Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz and the Composer Performed in Polish with German and English Surtitles
    Premiere / First ever performance in Frankfurt KRÓL ROGER (KING ROGER) Opera in three acts by Karol Szymanowski Libretto by Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz and the composer Performed in Polish with German and English surtitles Conductor: Sylvain Cambreling Director: Johannes Erath Set Designer: Johannes Leiacker Costume Designer: Jorge Jara Lighting Designer: Joachim Klein Video: Bibi Abel Chorus and Extra Chorus Master: Tilman Michael Children's Chorus Master: Markus Ehmann Dramaturge: Zsolt Horpácsy King Roger: Łukasz Goliński Roxana: Sydney Mancasola Sheperd: Gerard Schneider Edrisi: AJ Glueckert Archbishop: Alfred Reiter Deaconess: Judita Nagyová Oper Frankfurt's Chorus, Extra Chorus and Extras Frankfurter Opern- und Museumsorchester The Polish composer Karol Szymanowski (1882-1937) produced Król Roger (King Roger), the second and better known of his two operas, which received its World Premiere on June 19th 1926 at the Teatr Wielki in Warsaw. Despite its very unusual sound language it was not long before the work was being performed abroad. The libretto was written by the composer and his cousin, the poet Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz, around their protagonist, King Roger II, descended of Norman noble lineage, who ruled in Sicily during the 12th century. The work, based on, amongst others, Euripides’ Bacchae, depicts a hero caught between the strict Christian church and a way of life more interested in pleasure. This is in keeping with views of the Mediterranean World, which had always fascinated Szymanowski. Interest in the work has never completely petered out, although this New Production is the first time the opera has ever been performed in Frankfurt. A young shepherd, a disciple of the god Dionysos, causes confusion at King Roger's court.

  • Nationalism in Karol Szymanowski's Mazurkas No
    Nationalism in Karol Szymanowski’s Mazurkas No. 1-4, Op. 50: The Influence of Goral Music A doctoral document submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Keyboard Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2007 By Sun-Joo Cho 2410 Ohio Ave. #201 Cincinnati, OH 45219 B.M., Ewha Women’s University, Seoul, South Korea, 1997 M.M., University of Cincinnati, 2001 Committee Chair: Dr. Robert Zierolf Abstract Karol Szymanowski was a successor to the Polish nationalism of Chopin, and truly was an important figure as the bridge between Chopin and twentieth-century composers including Lutoslawski, Penderecki, Gorecki, and Paderewski as a figure of international fame. He composed two sets of mazurkas: 20 Mazurkas, Op. 50 (1924-25) and Two Mazurkas, Op. 62 (1933-34), his last completed works. His mazurkas are commonly understood to have been directly inspired by Chopin’s. However, Szymanowski’s were also influenced by Poland’s postwar independence, Bartok’s nationalism, Stravinsky’s Russian Period music, and musical contacts with the Gorale and personal experiences in Zakopane, located in the Podhale region in the Tatra Mountains in the early 1920s. Among these influential factors, the music in the Podhale region was the biggest motivation and musical basis in composing a set of Mazurkas, Op. 50. Written in Zakopane in the 1920s, they show many general musical characteristics from the “highland” mountain area and are clearer examples of nationalism than Op. 62.

  • Ralph Votapek Music by Ginastera, Poulenc, Szymanowski & Piazzolla Ralph Votapek Music by Ginastera, Poulenc, Szymanowski and Piazzolla
    Ralph Votapek Music by Ginastera, Poulenc, Szymanowski & Piazzolla Ralph Votapek Music by Ginastera, Poulenc, Szymanowski and Piazzolla Alberto Ginastera (1916-1983) Alberto Evaristo Ginastera was born in Buenos Aires, April 11, 1916. From early childhood he showed interest in music, beginning formal studies when he was seven years old. At twelve he entered the Conservatorio Williams, eventually entering the National Conservatory of Music where his teachers included Athos Palma and Jose Andre. His first mature work, the score for the ballet Panambi, was also the first he allowed to survive. The suite from the ballet was premiered in 1937 and the complete ballet was intro- duced at the Teatro Colon in 1940. Primitive in its rhythms and modern harmonies, the score constantly reveals the composer’s interest in a national Argentine idiom. During this time he also wrote the wonderful piano work, Danzas Argentinas. In 1938 he graduated with honors from the National Conservatory. In 1941 he was commissioned the ballet Estancia, and his first symphony, Sinfonia Portena followed in 1942. In 1942 he received a Alberto Ginastera Guggenheim Fellowship and he visited the United States. World War II inspired his Twelve American Preludes for piano and the Elegiac Symphony (1944), dedicated to those who “died for freedom.” From 1945-1947 he lived in New York. In 1948 he became director of the conservatory of the province of Buenos Aires in La Plata. In 1948 he completed another important work — his first string quartet. Ginastera’s Piano Sonata No.1 (1952) and the Variaciones Concertantes (1953) followed. Because of his pronounced anti-Fascist sentiments, Ginastera became increasingly suspect in Argentina dur- ing the Peron regime.
