Hauptmann, as the heroine. The other parts were taken as follows: Don Fernando, Weinkopf; Don Pizarro, Meier; Florestan, Demmer; Rocco, Rothe; Marzelline (sic), Miss Muller; Jacquino, Cache; Wacht- hauptmann, Meister. "The opera was hastily put upon the stage, and the inadequacy of the singers thus increased by the lack of sufficient rehearsals." In later years Fidelio was one of Anna Milder's great parts: "Judging from the contemporary criticism, her performance was now (1805) somewhat defective, simply from lack of stage experience." The first performance of the opera in Boston was at the Boston Theatre on April 1, 1857, with Mmes. Johannsen and Berkiel, and Messrs. Beutler, Neumann, Oehlein, and Weinlich. "Leonore" No. 2 was the overture played at the first performance in Vienna. The opera was withdrawn, revised, and produced again ^UI 1 J"Gena Branscombe is one of the small band of women who have the art of composing good music which needs no apology or excuse on account of the sex of the composer, and which can command respect and excite admiration by reason of its own intrinsic merit."

SCHMIDT CO., 120 Boylston Street I'M 3 on March 29, 1806, when "Leonore" No. 3, a remodelled form of No. 2, was played as the overture. The order of these overtures, according to the time of composition, is now supposed to be "Leonore" No. 2, "Leonore" No. 3,"Leonore" No. 1, "Fidelio." It may here be added that Beethoven wished, and for a long time insisted, that the title of his opera should be "Leonore"; and he ascribed the early failures to the substitution of the title "Fidelio." The key of the "Leonore" Overture No. 3 is C major. A short fortis- simo is struck. It is diminished by wood-wind and horns, then taken up, piano, by the strings. From this G there is a descent down the scale of C major to a mysterious F-sharp. The key of B minor is reached, finally A-flat major, when the opening measures of Florestan's air, "In des Lebens Fruhlingstagen" (act ii. of the opera), is played. The theme of the Allegro, C major, begins pianissimo, first violins and violoncellos, and waxes impetuously. The second theme has been described as "woven out of sobs and pitying sighs." The working-out consists in alternating a pathetic figure, taken from the second theme and played by the wood-wind over a nervous string accompaniment, with furious outbursts from the whole orchestra.

Trombetti Budriesi, Deputazione di Storia Patria per le Province di Romagna (Documenti e Studi, vol. XXX), Bologna 2001, pp. 19-48 © dell'autrice - Distribuito in formato digitale da "Reti Medievali"] Dopo aver molto sperato nei mesi o negli anni passati lo dico anch'io che mi sono rassegnato. Il popolo di Bologna al ponte di Sant'Ambrogio non ha avuto solo un altro giorno di gloria ma, eh sì! ha fatto leggenda della storia. Con questa lucida constatazione messa in bocca a Enzo, che vede la propria vicenda umana ormai al termine proiettata in un futuro ove si fondono e si confondono storia e leggenda, Roberto Roversi chiude il poema Enzo Re, importante tappa della moderna mitizzazione, a livello artistico, della figura del Re prigioniero. Nei versi immediatamente precedenti il personaggio della Carestiamorte gli aveva predetto: Un quadro di famiglia all'ultima illustrazione. Poi a voi resterà il fiato grosso giorno per giorno appena sufficiente per l'invecchiamento. Ci sarà ancora qualche piccola soddisfazione forse nel ventre di una donna o in una canzone scritta o nell'ultimo tramonto. Sarà un momento. Ma niente da raccogliere che non sia vento2. Vaticinata condanna senza appello, presagio di giorni uguali con qualche barlume di luce, ma nulla, in fondo3. 1 Con il titolo "Bologna re Enzo e il suo mito" ho ideato e proposto alcuni eventi di carattere storico e artistico ispirati alla figura del re di Sardegna e alla sua prigionia a Bologna, nella storia e nel mito.

  • The 30-Year History of the Alliance Des Chorales Du Quevec and Its Impact on Choral Singing in the Province
    The 30-year History of the Alliance des Chorales du Quevec and Its Impact on Choral Singing in the Province Patricia Abbott Association of Canadian Choral Conductors, Quebec, Canada English Montreal School Board, Quebec, Canada McGill University, Quebec, Canada The year 2004 marked the 30th anniversary of Quebec's choral federation, the Alliance des chorales du Quebec (ACQ). Over the years it has grown from a membership of some 50 choirs to more than 200 (204 at the end of the 2004-2005 season). Its member choirs represent a wide range of repertoire, skill levels and age groups. Although there are other choral organizations in Quebec,l it is the only one officially recognized by the provincial government as the voice for the collective interests of choirs. This paper explores the federation's 30-year history, the growth and evolution of its mandate and programs and its impact on choral music in Quebec. The organization's publications and annual reports served as a major source of information. The Choral Landscape in French Canada Before 1974 Choral music has long been an integral part of French Canadian cultural activity. References to choral music written and arranged in Canada date back to the French colony at Port-Royal in 1606. The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries saw the performance of choral music imported from Europe, as well as a growing body of Canadian compositions, primarily for liturgical use. By the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, singing in a choral society was a very popular activity in Canada, and Quebec was no exception.

  • Respighi Ottorino
    RESPIGHI OTTORINO Compositore e strumentista italiano (Bologna 9 VI 1879 - Roma 18 IV 1936) 1 Nato da una famiglia di musicisti (il nonno Tommaso era organista del duomo di Fidenza) fu avviato alla musica dal padre, ottimo pianista e didatta. Iscritto al liceo musicale di Bologna (1891), studiò violino con F. Sarti, diplomandosi nel 1899, e contemporaneamente seguì le lezioni di contrappunto e fuga di C. Dall'Olio e di composizione di L. Torchi e G. Martucci. Nel 1900 fu a Pietroburgo, come orchestrale nella stagione operistica italiana dei teatri imperiali e conobbe Rimskij-Korsakov dal quale ebbe varie lezioni di composizione rimaste essenziali (come dichiarò lo stesso Respighi) per la sua formazione artistica. Tornato a Bologna, si diplomò in composizione nel 1901. L'anno dopo tornò in Russia come prima viola dell'Opera di Pietroburgo e vi rimase nove mesi, prendendo contatto con l'ambiente artistico che faceva capo ad A. Benois (il figlio Nicola sarà poi uno degli scenografi più cari a Respighi). Nel 1903 ritornò in Italia e l'anno dopo fu eseguita dal pianista F. Ivaldi a Bologna, sotto la direzione di B. Mugellini, la sua Fantasia in Sol minore per pianoforte ed orchestra che ottenne notevole successo. Nel 1905 la sua opera Re Enzo fu rappresentata dagli studenti dell'università di Bologna ed in quello stesso anno Respighi entrò come viola nel quintetto Mugellini per il quale compose il Quintetto in Fa. Nel 1908 R. Ferrari diresse al Metropolitan di New York il Notturno per orchestra e A. Nikish, a Berlino, la sua trascrizione per orchestra del Lamento di Arianna di Monteverdi.

  • An Edition of Ottorino Respighi's Fantasia Slava, P
    AN EDITION OF OTTORINO RESPIGHI’S FANTASIA SLAVA, P. 50 WITH AN ANALYSIS OF HIS EARLY STYLE by JASON BRADLEY BAKER NOEL J. ENGEBRETSON, COMMITTEE CHAIR LINDA PAGE CUMMINS CRAIG P. FIRST TANYA L. GILLE DANIEL E. SWEANEY HOLLY L. GROUT A DOCUMENT Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Department of Music in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2014 Copyright Jason Bradley Baker 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Fantasia Slava, a 1903 work by Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936) for piano and orchestra, can be considered the embodiment of his early style. The characteristics of this style will be examined through brief analyses of four works written prior to Fantasia Slava: Violin Sonata in D Minor (1897), P. 15; Piano Sonata in F Minor, P. 16 (1897); Six Pieces for Violin and Piano, P. 31 (1901-2); and Piano Quintet in F Minor (1902). The characteristics developed over the course of these pieces directly affected the construction of Fantasia Slava and shows the young composer developing his compositional language. This document also includes an edition of Fantasia Slava for two pianos–one piano designated for the solo and another a piano reduction of the orchestral part. The sole publication of Fantasia Slava is the orchestral score from Ricordi, copyrighted in 1986. It is from this edition that the author has drawn his two-piano edition. The manuscript for Fantasia Slava, P. 50 was not available for review at the time of this document.
