Notes ON THE MUSIC – TON’S KADEN HENDERSON ON ARTHUR HONEGGER’S RUGBY MATT DINE MATT Full Contact Music Honegger’s second tone poem, entitled Rugby, which we will be hearing today, was composed in 1928. Although it bears the name Rugby, the composer himself insisted that this work was not programmatic in a traditional sense. Despite what Honegger may have said, it takes little imagination to find oneself in the middle of the pitch dodging tack- les left and right from the very first note. Immediately from the downbeat it is apparent that Honegger is not alluding to two-hand-touch rugby, but rather the sport in its full contact, “hold no pris- oners” variety.

'Botschafter Der Musik': the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and The
Working Papers in the Humanities 1 ‘Botschafter der Musik’: The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and the Role of Classical Music in Post-War German Identity Lauren Freede University of Edinburgh Abstract This working paper looks at the role of classical music in the establishment of modern German identity. My wider doctoral research project examines the importance of music in shaping differing senses of positive collective identity in both West Germany and Austria since the 1920s, and explores the exclusion of classical music from critical memory narratives, with particular reference to musical autobiographies. This paper focuses more narrowly on the situation in Germany immediately after World War II. While traditional accounts of the period tend to deal with individual musicians, I argue that musical institutions were central to a sense of being German. A brief case study of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra illustrates the tangled relationship between music and politics, and shows the ways in which musical identity was contested. Germans saw positive continuity in their mastery of the classical tradition, while the American occupiers saw the German belief in their musical superiority as a dangerous and unstable base for national restoration. My analysis of the Orchestra reveals that classical music was adopted as a politically neutral source of national pride despite being both highly susceptible to political manipulation and implicated in past militaristic and racist ideologies from which it was supposedly aloof. Thomas Mann once argued: ‘Soll Faust der Repräsentant der deutschen Seele sein, so müßte er musikalisch sein’.2 Since the middle of the nineteenth century, classical music has indeed been the art form most closely identified with the development of the German nation, and musicians and writers have argued that the art form itself belongs to Germany. -
