[8] OVERTURE TO "BEATRICE ET B£N£DICT" By Hector Berlioz (Born at Cote-Saint-Andre, December 11, 1803; died at Paris, March 8, 1869) Berlioz' Opera Comique, Beatrice et Benedict, was first sketched in the autumn of i860, completed February 25, 1862, and first performed at Baden, August 9, 1862, at the Theatre de Bade, the composer conducting. There followed a produc- tion at Weimar April 8, 1863. It did not reach France until June 5, 1890, when Lamoureux conducted it at the Odeon. There was a revival at Leipzig April 19, 1913, under the direction of Josef Stranski, who revised the score and text. The opera was performed in English at Glasgow, March 24, 1936. The overture calls for flute and piccolo, two oboes, two clarinets, four boms, two bassoons, two trumpets, cornet-a-piston, three trombones, timpani and strings. On January 19, 1833, Berlioz wrote to his friend d'Ortigue: "A propos, I am going to write a very lively opera upon Shakespeare's comedy, 'Much Ado About Nothing.' Such being the case, I will ask you to lend me the volume containing it." This plan, formed at a time when Berlioz was deep in Shakespeare, did not take effect for twenty-seven years, and indeed his single venture into a comedy was destined to become his last work. He composed it at the insistence of Benazet, the manager of the theatre at Baden-Baden. He expanded [9] his original plan of one act into two as the music progressed.

  • ARSC Journal
    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

Hill Associate Professor Emerita Heidi Von Gunden ABSTRACT This study is an annotated bibliography of selected literature on harpsichord studies published before 2011. It is intended to serve as a guide and as a reference manual for anyone researching the harpsichord or harpsichord related topics, including harpsichord making and maintenance, historical and contemporary harpsichord repertoire, as well as performance practice. This guide is not meant to be comprehensive, but rather to provide a user-friendly resource on the subject. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my dissertation advisers Professor Charlotte Mattax Moersch and Professor Donald W. Krummel for their tremendous help on this project. My gratitude also goes to the other members of my committee, Professor John W. Hill and Professor Heidi Von Gunden, who shared with me their knowledge and wisdom. I am extremely thankful to the librarians and staff of the University of Illinois Library System for assisting me in obtaining obscure and rare publications from numerous libraries and archives throughout the United States and abroad.
