My father, Greg Guin, had pushed me to read both and I waited far too long to take his excellent advice. I am very grateful not only to my father but his friend, Bill Henry, for inspiring my interest in great literature. As an undergraduate at Millikin University, I had the privilege of being taught by several gifted teachers in the Philosophy, English, and History departments. I thank my English Professor, Bonnie Gunzenhauser, for encouraging me in my first attempt at exploring the connection between Austen and Aristotle.

  • Commissioned Orchestral Version of Jonathan Dove’S Mansfield Park, Commemorating the 200Th Anniversary of the Death of Jane Austen
    The Grange Festival announces the world premiere of a specially- commissioned orchestral version of Jonathan Dove’s Mansfield Park, commemorating the 200th anniversary of the death of Jane Austen Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 September 2017 The Grange Festival’s Artistic Director Michael Chance is delighted to announce the world premiere staging of a new orchestral version of Mansfield Park, the critically-acclaimed chamber opera by composer Jonathan Dove and librettist Alasdair Middleton, in September 2017. This production of Mansfield Park puts down a firm marker for The Grange Festival’s desire to extend its work outside the festival season. The Grange Festival’s inaugural summer season, 7 June-9 July 2017, includes brand new productions of Monteverdi’s Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria, Bizet’s Carmen, Britten’s Albert Herring, as well as a performance of Verdi’s Requiem and an evening devoted to the music of Rodgers & Hammerstein and Rodgers & Hart with the John Wilson Orchestra. Mansfield Park, in September, is a welcome addition to the year, and the first world premiere of specially-commissioned work to take place at The Grange. This newly-orchestrated version of Mansfield Park was commissioned from Jonathan Dove by The Grange Festival to celebrate the serendipity of two significant milestones for Hampshire occurring in 2017: the 200th anniversary of the death of Austen, and the inaugural season of The Grange Festival in the heart of the county with what promises to be a highly entertaining musical staging of one of her best-loved novels. Mansfield Park was originally written by Jonathan Dove to a libretto by Alasdair Middleton based on the novel by Jane Austen for a cast of ten singers with four hands at a single piano.

    Regent’s Park Theatre and English National Opera present £4 music by BENJAMIN BRITTEN libretto by MYFANWY PIPER after a story by HENRY JAMES Photo David Jensen Developing new creative partnerships enables us to push the boundaries of our artistic programming. We are excited to be working with Daniel Kramer and his team at English National Opera to present this new production of The Turn of the Screw. Some of our Open Air Theatre audience may be experiencing opera for the first time – and we hope that you will continue that journey of discovery with English National Opera in the future; opera audiences intrigued to see this work here, may in turn discover the unique possibilities of theatre outdoors. Our season continues with Shakespeare’s As You Like It directed by Max Webster and, later this summer, Maria Aberg directs the mean, green monster musical, Little Shop of Horrors.

Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education 15 (2) 46 Balancing the Counterpoint: Exploring Musical Contexts and Relations Juliet Hess Michigan State University Music is inherently connected to sociopolitical contexts and relations. Music and politics are intertwined both historically and presently, and there is much literature exploring the relationships between music and various political movements. In considering the importance of an approach to understand these connections and relationships, I suggest a methodology that allows us to contextually explore musics that occur both in tandem with human actions and in response to human actions. In Culture and Imperialism, Edward Said (1993) put forward a contrapuntal methodology as a means to make sense of the literature and “culture” he examined in his text. Said was an accomplished pianist and often wrote of music (see, for example, Said 2006, 2008). As such, this contrapuntal methodology has the inherent musical qualities of counterpoint that include both intricate design and a delicate balance.

  • J.Austen:Mansfield Park
    Mansfield Park J.Austen October 23 - November 10, 2013 With Jane Austen you associate mild and decorous novels of feminine feelings, carried by wit and subtle social commentary, in which nothing of the harsh real world gains a purchase. It is all idyllic, taking place in physical serenity, far away from the bustle of world. This may be so in ’Emma’, and also to a large extent in ’Pride and Prejudice’, both of them often adapted to the screen to provide nostalgia for a world that never was except in the imagination. ’Mansfield Park’ has quite another tenor. It is pure melodrama, and as such it succeeds admirably, in spite of obvious shortcomings. But the object of fiction is not verisimilitude as such, or believability; it is as Aristotle well knew, to engage the readers imagination that he sacrifices his good sense and suspends sober judgement, in being carried away by a story. The heroine of the novel is Fanny, literally a poor cousin, plucked away from her family and planted into the luxury of the estate of her uncle and aunt, through the whims of her other aunt, a childless widow. As such she is immediately cast in the role of Cinderella, while her two female cousins are admirably playing the role of the evil step-sisters. There is no benevolent father, at least not initially, but at least another cousin, a male, who acts as her protector. Now Cinderella is pursued by the Prince, whom her elder cousins have in vain wooed, and seems to have won his heart by no active design only by the sweetness of her temper and the valor of her principles.

  • Mansfield Park Character Descriptions
    MANSFIELD PARK CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS WOMEN’S ROLES Fanny Price: (able to play Young Adult) Full of spirit. Her circumstances force her to “be good," but she has strong opinions and a big imagination. She may come off as shy, but she’s smart and wants to learn everything. She has a strong moral compass which keeps her out of trouble and makes her trustworthy to others. Hopelessly in love with Edmund Bertram. Mary Crawford: (able to play Young Adult) Mary is witty and capable of being hollow and flippant, but not fundamentally bad natured. She is ambitious and clear eyed about the truths of the world and society. She guards her heart, but is a bit of a flirt who intends to marry well. (Sister to Henry Crawford, no blood connection to Fanny Price). Maria Bertram: (able to play Young Adult) Maria is an elegant, mannered, accomplished and fashionable young woman who knows she has to marry Mr. Rushford- but later falls hard for Henry. (Sister to Tom and Edmund, Fanny’s cousin) Mrs. Norris/Mrs. Price: (DOUBLES- able to play 40-65) MRS. NORRIS is bossy and condescending with those who have no power; she feels as if she's in charge of the world. She sucks up to anyone of higher status than herself. A somewhat vicious, indomitable battleship of a woman. MRS. PRICE is a working class woman from Portsmouth. She’s fundamentally forward-looking, but a lifetime of disappointments have worn her down. She’s developed a certain brusque, vaguely-cheerful emotional-remove to deal with it all.

Upon their marriage in the early nineteenth century, they brought with them the music books they had compiled so far to their new homes, and they continued to collect and play music after marriage.
