ARNOLD SCHOENBERG (1874-1951) Verklarte Nacht (Transfigured Night) Most people associate Arnold Schoenberg with development of the "twelve-tone" sys­ tem of musical composition. However, one of his most popular works, Verklarte Nacht, was composed early in his career (1899) at the age of twenty-five, before his experiments in atonality were evident. Though primarily a self-taught composer, Schoenberg admits to having been greatly influenced by Brahms and Wagner during this period. Verklarte Nacht was unusual in that it was a tone poem composed for a chamber ensemble (string sextet). It was based on a poem written in 1896 by Richard Dehmel, whose work Schoenberg particularly admired.

The ASO acknowledges that the land we make music on is the traditional country of the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains. We pay respect to Elders past and present and recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and relationship with the land. We acknowledge that this is of continuing importance to the Kaurna people living today. We extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are with us for this performance today. 3 WELCOME Under current circumstances, it’s almost miraculous to be presenting this concert for you, and to have back with us on the podium one of the great figures in the ASO’s history, Nicholas Braithwaite, who has agreed to step in for Simone Young at very short notice, when border restrictions made it impossible for her to get to Adelaide.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School UNDER WAGNER’S SHADOW: DELIUS’S USE OF WAGNERIAN MODELS IN THE MAGIC FOUNTAIN ​ A Thesis in Music Theory and History by Timothy M. Farrand © 2020 Timothy M. Farrand Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts December 2020 ii The thesis of Timothy M. Farrand was reviewed and approved by the following: Charles Youmans Professor of Music Thesis Advisor Eric McKee Professor of Music David Frego Director of the School of Music iii ABSTRACT After 1900, Frederick Delius’s unique compositional style bears little resemblance to any singular influence. In the thirty-eight year apprentice period that led to the development of this style, Delius drew upon a wide range of references from the Norwegian mountains, to the “Negro” spirituals sung by former slaves in Florida, to the dramatic style of Richard Wagner. Studies have been written detailing the impact that his two years spent in Florida had on Delius as well as the twenty visits that he made to Norway throughout his life, ten of which occurred during his apprentice period. Several scholars have pointed out the similarities between Delius’s early harmonic language and that of Richard Wagner but there has not been a study showing the importance of Wagner’s influence upon the development of Delius’s dramatic style. In the creation of his second opera The Magic Fountain (1894-95), Delius used the operatic works of ​ ​ Richard Wagner, specifically Tristan und Isolde and Parsifal, as musical, dramatic, and ​ ​ ​ ​ philosophical models. The use of Wagner’s works as a model for The Magic Fountain allowed ​ ​ Delius to discover his own artistic voice, which he continued to refine until it was fully formed in 1900.
