Nota Bene News from the Yale Library Giacomo Meyerbeer at the Ya le Music Library Giacomo Mel'erbeer (Jakob Liebmann Meyer Bee r), th e Berlin composer kno\vn for his Parisian French Grand Operas, was born September 5, 1. 791. In Berlin and Paris, his bicentennial year, September 1991- Se ptember 1992, is bein g celebrated with special exhibits, symposia, a new biography, and new produc- tions of his operas. A bicentennial display currently mo unted at the John Herrick Jackson Music Library exhi bits items from its holdings such as rare first- ed iti on piano/vocal scores of Nleyerbeer's operas, pr ints of hi s compositions for unaccompanied chorus, a man- uscript of a fugue written as an assignment during his student days, volumes from his personal library and even a brief eleven-note autograph musical incipit and signature. French Grand Opera is an opera tic genre that brings together complex o rchestration and vocal writing, spec- tacular scenic effects, and extensive ballet scenes in operas around fOllr hours long. Dissertation research in progress at Yal e examines the large-scale musica l struc- ture devised by Meyerbeer to create a sense of gradu- ally increasin g mu sica l and dramatic momentum in these huge compositions. Rare and unique items frolll several Yale libra ri es support this research.
