  • 'The Performing Pitch of William Byrd's Latin Liturgical Polyphony: a Guide
    The Performing Pitch of William Byrd’s Latin Liturgical Polyphony: A Guide for Historically Minded Interpreters Andrew Johnstone REA: A Journal of Religion, Education and the Arts, Issue 10, 'Sacred Music', 2016 The choosing of a suitable performing pitch is a task that faces all interpreters of sixteenth- century vocal polyphony. As any choral director with the relevant experience will know, decisions about pitch are inseparable from decisions about programming, since some degree of transposition—be it effected on the printed page or by the mental agility of the singers—is almost invariably required to bring the conventions of Renaissance vocal scoring into alignment with the parameters of the more modern SATB ensemble. To be sure, the problem will always admit the purely pragmatic solution of adopting the pitch that best suits the available voices. Such a solution cannot of itself be to the detriment of a compelling, musicianly interpretation, and precedent for it may be cited in historic accounts of choosing a pitch according to the capabilities of the available bass voices (Ganassi 1542, chapter 11) and transposing polyphony so as to align the tenor part with the octave in which chorale melodies were customarily sung (Burmeister 1606, chapter 8). At the same time, transpositions oriented to the comfort zone of present-day choirs will almost certainly result in sonorities differing appreciably from those the composer had in mind. It is therefore to those interested in this aspect of the composer’s intentions, as well as to those curious about the why and the wherefore of Renaissance notation, that the following observations are offered.

  • 1 Elżbieta Jasińska-Jędrosz LOSY SPUŚCIZNY KAROLA
    Elżbieta Jasińska-Jędrosz LOSY SPUŚCIZNY KAROLA SZYMANOWSKIEGO Karol Szymanowski, najwybitniejszy polski kompozytor I połowy XX wieku, urodził się w roku 1982 w Tymoszówce, zmarł w roku 1937 w Lozannie. Jest on autorem 4 symfonii, 2 koncertów skrzypcowych, 2 oper ( Hagith, Król Roger), baletu Harnasie, utworów wokalno-instrumentalnych (w tym wybitnego dzieła religijnego Stabat Mater) oraz licznych utworów fortepianowych, skrzypcowych i pieśni. Szymanowski to także pedagog i wychowawca muzyczny, reformator Konserwatorium Warszawskiego i rektor pierwszej Akademii Muzycznej w kraju oraz wykonawca własnych utworów. Ponadto pisarz, poeta i myśliciel o wszechstronnym umyśle, erudyta, roztrząsający najbardziej zawiłe kwestie z różnych dziedzin życia. Wreszcie człowiek o niezwykłej osobowości, pełen osobistego uroku i ciepła, który wywierał niezatarte wrażenie na wszystkich, którzy się z nim zetknęli. Za wybitne zasługi dla kultury polskiej otrzymał zaszczytny tytuł doctora honoris causa Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego. W wyniku podniesienia tego co narodowe do wartości europejskich i ogólnoludzkich zdobył trwałe miejsce w historii kultury muzycznej Europy i świata. Honorowy członek wielu stowarzyszeń twórczych i naukowych m. in. Międzynarodowego Stowarzyszenia Muzyki Współczesnej. *** Karol Szymanowski zmarł na dwa lata przed wybuchem II wojny światowej. Spuścizna jego była dwukrotnie zagrożona - najpierw podczas I wojny światowej i rewolucji bolszewickiej, kiedy to rodzina Szymanowskich zmuszona była opuścić swój majątek w Tymoszówce, a następnie w czasie II wojny światowej. Omawiając losy spuścizny Szymanowskiego trzeba zdać sobie sprawę, że większa część życia kompozytora upłynęła na terenie obecnej Ukrainy – najpierw z rodzinnej Tymoszówce, a następnie w Elizawetgradzie. Tymoszowiecki dwór – pełen zabytkowych mebli, cennych książek i pamiątek narodowych - o którym tak pięknie pisze Zofia Szymanowska w książce „Opowieść o naszym domu”1 – po rewolucji został utracony.

  • Vanguard Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1953 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963, and Various Other Sources
    Discography Of The Vanguard Label Vanguard Records was established in New York City in 1947. It was owned by Maynard and Seymour Solomon. The label released classical, folk, international, jazz, pop, spoken word, rhythm and blues and blues. Vanguard had a subsidiary called Bach Guild that released classical music. The Solomon brothers started the company with a loan of $10,000 from their family and rented a small office on 80 East 11th Street. The label was started just as the 33 1/3 RPM LP was just gaining popularity and Vanguard concentrated on LP’s. Vanguard commissioned recordings of five Bach Cantatas and those were the first releases on the label. As the long play market expanded Vanguard moved into other fields of music besides classical. The famed producer John Hammond (Discoverer of Robert Johnson, Bruce Springsteen Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin) came in to supervise a jazz series called Jazz Showcase. The Solomon brothers’ politics was left leaning and many of the artists on Vanguard were black-listed by the House Un-American Activities Committive. Vanguard ignored the black-list of performers and had success with Cisco Houston, Paul Robeson and the Weavers. The Weavers were so successful that Vanguard moved more and more into the popular field. Folk music became the main focus of the label and the home of Joan Baez, Ian and Sylvia, Rooftop Singers, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and many others. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, a folk festival was held each year in Newport Rhode Island and Vanguard recorded and issued albums from the those events.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles An Introductions to the Art of Singing Italian Baroque Opera: A Brief History and Practice A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music by Gloria Chu Young Chung-Ahn 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION An Introductions to the Art of Singing Italian Baroque Opera: A Brief History and Practice by Gloria Chu Young Chung-Ahn Doctor of Musical Arts in Music University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Michael E. Dean, Chair At the start of this dissertation, my original intention was to offer insight into performance practices of opera in the late baroque period in the form of a guide to young singers. As I delved into this subject matter, I began to realize how much this subject could not be understood until the singer had an understanding of the beginnings of baroque music pertaining to its considerable historical significance in the development of opera as well as its overall perceived styles. The term baroque, in itself, has caused much confusion for those in academia ii and more so to students who endeavor to recreate an authentic baroque sound and performance. Upon evaluating my own understanding of baroque music and its reaches into the operatic art form, I decided to include in this dissertation an abridged history of the baroque period such as terms and ideas that every young musician should be familiar with, as well as contributions to baroque opera of famous composers and singers, whose names became synonymous with the term Baroque.

  • Analyzing Gender Inequality in Contemporary Opera
    ANALYZING GENDER INEQUALITY IN CONTEMPORARY OPERA Hillary LaBonte A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS August 2019 Committee: Jane Schoonmaker Rodgers, Advisor Kristen Rudisill Graduate Faculty Representative Kevin Bylsma Ryan Ebright Emily Pence Brown © 2019 Hillary LaBonte All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jane Schoonmaker Rodgers, Advisor Gender inequality is pervasive in the world of performing arts. There are far more female dancers, actresses, and singers than there are male performers. This inequality is amplified by fewer numbers of roles for women. This document examines gender inequality in contemporary North American operas, including the various factors that can influence the gender balance of a cast, with focused studies on commissioning organizations and ten works that feature predominantly female casts. Chapter 1 presents the analysis of all operas in OPERA America’s North American Works database written and premiered from 1995 to the present. Of the 4,216 roles in this data, 1,842 (43.6%) are for female singers. Operas written by a female composer or librettist have 48% roles for female singers, operas with a female lead character have 51%, and intentionally feminist or female-focused operas have 53% roles for female singers. Chapter 2 considers ten companies devoted to the creation and production of contemporary opera in North America. Works premiered by these companies have an average of 47% roles for women, and companies with a female executive or founder are more likely to have a higher average. Companies that use language like “innovative” or “adventurous” in their mission statement are more likely to have greater female representation in the casts of their commissioned works.

A presentation on the finer points of Monteverdi’s or Handel’s art can rapidly narrow to an explanation of the castrato tradition, a justification 196 for substituting women or countertenors, and a general plea for the dramatic viability of baroque opera. As much as one tries to rationalize the historical practice, a treble Nero or Julius Caesar can still derail ap- preciation of the music drama.
