Brooke Washington 0250E 143 VERISMO IN ITALIAN ART SONG: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF VERISTIC LITERATURE, OPERA AND ART SONG WILLIAM SETH BROOKE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON 2015 READING COMMITTEE: TOM HARPER, CHAIR ROBIN MCCABE RHONDA KLINE PROGRAM AUTHORIZED TO OFFER DEGREE: MUSIC © COPYRIGHT 2015 WILLIAM SETH BROOKE ii UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON ABSTRACT VERISMO IN ITALIAN ART SONG: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF VERISTIC LITERATURE, OPERA AND ART SONG WILLIAM SETH BROOKE CHAIR OF THE SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: PROFESSOR THOMAS HARPER VOICE/OPERA DEPARTMENT Verismo in Italian art song is examined through the application of seven primary characteristics, which are identified as the defining tenets of verismo in Italian literature and opera. These seven characteristics are: reaction against romanticism, character choice, linguistics, silent author, dramatic structure, milieu and violent extremes. These core elements of verismo are initially extracted from the veristic works of Giovanni Verga, as influenced by Émile Zola and French naturalism. Then they are applied to the operas of the veristi, including Giacomo Puccini, Ruggiero Leoncavallo, Pietro Mascagni and Umberto Giordano. Finally, having established their relevance to the classification of verismo in opera, they are likewise applied to the art songs of the veristi. In addition to surveying many art songs composed by the veristi from 1875 – 1920, this application identifies two works of pure verismo composition: 6 Liriche by Giordano and Imploration éperdue by Leoncavallo. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS “The finest of friends must sometimes be stern sentinels, who will insist that we become what we have the power to become.” ~ Elder Neal A.

  • La Generazione Dell'ottanta and the Italian Sound
    LA GENERAZIONE DELL’OTTANTA AND THE ITALIAN SOUND A DISSERTATION IN Trumpet Performance Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS by ALBERTO RACANATI M.M., Western Illinois University, 2016 B.A., Conservatorio Piccinni, 2010 Kansas City, Missouri 2021 LA GENERAZIONE DELL’OTTANTA AND THE ITALIAN SOUND Alberto Racanati, Candidate for the Doctor of Musical Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2021 ABSTRACT . La Generazione dell’Ottanta (The Generation of the Eighties) is a generation of Italian composers born in the 1880s, all of whom reached their artistic maturity between the two World Wars and who made it a point to part ways musically from the preceding generations that were rooted in operatic music, especially in the Verismo tradition. The names commonly associated with the Generazione are Alfredo Casella (1883-1947), Gian Francesco Malipiero (1882-1973), Ildebrando Pizzetti (1880-1968), and Ottorino Respighi (1879- 1936). In their efforts to create a new music that sounded unmistakingly Italian and fueled by the musical nationalism rampant throughout Europe at the time, the four composers took inspiration from the pre-Romantic music of their country. Individually and collectively, they embarked on a journey to bring back what they considered the golden age of Italian music, with each one yielding a different result. iii Through the creation of artistic associations facilitated by the fascist government, the musicians from the Generazione established themselves on the international scene and were involved with performances of their works around the world.

    Lucio Battisti - E penso a te Contenuti: lessico, tempo presente indicativo. Livello QCER: A2/ B1 (consolidamento presente indicativo) Tempo: 1h, 10' Sicuramente il periodo degli anni Settanta è per l'Italia un periodo molto difficile. Numerose le proteste degli studenti, che chiedono una riforma della scuola, i lavoratori protestano, perché vogliono migliorare la loro condizione. Gli anni Settanta, chiamati “gli anni di piombo”, sono caratterizzati da violenza, da scontri nelle piazze e da numerose stragi terroristiche, tra queste la strage di piazza Fontana a Milano(1969), la strage di piazza della Loggia a Brescia (1970), la strage sull'espresso Roma-Brennero (1974), la strage alla Stazione di Bologna . Molti gli attentati e le uccisioni per motivi politici: nel 1978 il gruppo terrorista chiamato Brigate Rosse rapisce ed uccide Aldo Moro, uomo politico, con lui muoiono gli agenti della scorta. Il governo Italiano vive un momento difficoltoso. L'economia è in crisi. In questi anni il movimento femminista e le donne lottano per l'emancipazione, per la libertà e autonomia femminili, La moda vive un periodo particolare: i vestiti sono molto colorati, vistosi, ricchi di fiori e di disegni geometrici, le ragazze adorano la minigonna, gli occhiali da sole diventano un accessorio indispensabile soprattutto per i giovani LUCIO BATTISTI: IL POETA DELLE EMOZIONI Lucio Battisti nasce nel 1943 a Poggio Bustone, un paese nel Lazio, in provincia di Rieti Lucio è un cantante, un cantautore, un musicista fra i più amati in Italia.

  • «Come La Tosca in Teatro»: Una Prima Donna Nel Mito E Nell'attualità
    ... «come la Tosca in teatro»: una prima donna nel mito e nell’attualità MICHELE GIRARDI La peculiarità della trama di Tosca di Puccini è quella di rappresentare una concatenazione vertiginosa di eventi intorno alla protagonista femminile che è divenuta, in quanto cantante, la prima donna per antonomasia del teatro liri- co. Non solo, ma prima donna al quadrato, perché tale pure nella finzione, oltre che carattere strabordante in ogni sua manifestazione. Giacosa e Illica mutuarono questa situazione direttamente dalla fonte, la pièce omonima di Victorien Sardou, e perciò da Sarah Bernhardt – che aveva ispirato questo ruolo allo scrittore –, anche e soprattutto in occasioni (come vedremo) dove un nodo inestricabile intreccierà la musica all’azione scenica nel capolavoro di Puccini. Stimolati dall’aura metateatrale che pervade il dramma, i due libretti- sti giunsero a inventare un dialogo in due tempi fra i due amanti sfortunati che era solo accennato nell’ipotesto («Joue bien ton rôle... Tombe sur le coup... et fais bien le mort» è la raccomandazione di Floria),1 mentre attendo- no il plotone d’esecuzione fino a quando fa il suo ingresso per ‘giustiziare’ il tenore. E, disattendendo più significativamente la fonte, misero in scena la fu- cilazione, fornendo al compositore un’occasione preziosa per scrivere una marcia al patibolo di grandioso effetto, che incrementa l’atroce delusione che la donna sta per patire. Floria avrebbe dovuto far tesoro della frase di Canio in Pagliacci, «il teatro e la vita non son la stessa cosa», visto che quando arri- va il momento dell’esecuzione cerca di preparare l’amante a cadere bene, «al naturale [...] come la Tosca in teatro» chiosa lui, perché lei, «con scenica scienza» ne saprebbe «la movenza».2 Di questo dialogo a bassa voce non si trova traccia nell’ipotesto: Giacosa e Illica l’inventarono di sana pianta con un colpo di genio.

  • Composers Mascagni and Leoncavallo Biography
    Cavalleria Rusticana Composer Biography: Pietro Mascagni Mascagni was an Italian composer born in Livorno on December 7, 1863. His father was a baker and dreamed of a career as a lawyer for his son, but following the good reception obtained by Mascagni’s first compositions was persuaded to allow him to study music at the Milan Conservatoire, where his teachers included Amilcare Ponchielli and Michele Saladino, and where he shared a furnished room with his fellow-student Giacomo Puccini. His first compositions won him financial support to study at the Milan Conservatory. He was of a rebellious nature and intolerant of discipline, and in 1885 he left the Conservatoire to join a modest operetta company as conductor. He became part of the Compagnia Maresca and, together with his future wife, Lina Carbognani, settled in Cerignola (Apulia) in 1886, where he formed a symphony orchestra. Here Mascagni composed at a single stroke, in only two months, the one-act opera Cavalleria rusticana, based on the short story by Verga, which was to win him the first prize in the Second Sonzogno Competition for new operas. The innovative strength of the opera and the resounding worldwide success which followed its first performance (1890, Teatro Costanzi, Rome) marked the beginning of an artistic life rich in achievements and satisfactions, both as composer and as conductor. He became increasingly prominent as a conductor and in 1892 conducted his opera I Rantzau around Europe. Further successes included Amica (1905) and Isabeau (1911), alongside such failures as Le maschere (1901). In 1915 he experimented with writing for cinema in Rapsodia satanicawith Nino Oxilia.

One specific composer’s career was paramount to the rise of this movement: Monsignor Don Lorenzo Perosi. At the turn of the twentieth century, his early premieres of choral oratorios and symphonic poems of massive scale thoroughly impressed notable musical colleagues worldwide and quickly received mass adoration and accolades. In addition to these large works, Perosi produced a prolific number of liturgical choral compositions that shaped the sound and style of choral music of the Roman Catholic Church for over half a century.
