  • Parola Scenica: Towards Realism in Italian Opera Etdhendrik Johannes Paulus Du Plessis
    Parola Scenica: Towards Realism in Italian Opera ETDHendrik Johannes Paulus du Plessis A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD by Thesis Abstract This thesis attempts to describe the emergence of a realistic writing style in nine- teenth-century Italian opera of which Giuseppe Verdi was the primary architect. Frequently reinforced by a realistic musico-linguistic device that Verdi would call parola scenica, the object of this realism is a musical syntax in which nei- ther the dramatic intent of the text nor the purely musical intent overwhelms the other. For Verdi the dramatically effective depiction of a ‘slice of a particular life’—a realist theatrical notion—is more important than the mere mimetic description of the words in musical terms—a romantic theatrical notion in line with opera seria. Besides studying the device of parola scenica in Verdi’s work, I also attempt to cast light on its impact on the output of his peers and successors. Likewise, this study investigates how the device, by definition texted, impacts on the orchestra as a means of realist narrative. My work is directed at explaining how these changes in mood of thought were instrumental in effecting the gradual replacement of the bel canto singing style typical of the opera seria of Rossini, Donizetti, and Bellini, by the school of thought of verismo, as exemplified by Verdi’s experiments. Besides the work of Verdi and the early nineteenth-cen- tury Italian operatic Romanticists, I touch also briefly on the œuvres of Puccini, ETDGiordano and the other veristi.

  • Pierrot: a Silent Witness of Changing Times
    Matteo Sansone | Pierrot: A Silent Witness of Changing Times Abstract. In nineteenth-century France, Pierrot journeyed through Romantic, Decadent and Symbolist literature in the traditional medium of the pantomime with musical accompaniment. Prestigious patrons such as Huysmans and Paul Margueritte provided the age-old character with fresh costumes and makeup. Towards the end of the century, composers developed more sophisticated techniques to integrate wordless actions with appropriate music. Two pantomimes, L’Enfant Prodigue with music by André Wormser and L’Histoire d’un Pierrot set by Mario Costa, were particularly successful in Europe and even reached the United States. In the early twentieth century, they were turned into silent films with synchronized musical accompaniment and again reached American audiences at a time of growing interest in the dawning art of moving pictures. A minor genre of musical theatre developed in France in the last twenty years of the nineteenth century as a consequence of renewed interest in Parisian pantomimes centred on the mask of Pierrot. The revival of what had once been a popular form of entertainment was promoted by a large group of major literary figures, musicians and journalists such as Jean Richepin, Joris-Karl Huysmans, Paul Margueritte, Arthur Pougin, Jules Lemaître, Jules Massenet, Francis Thomé. In 1888, they founded the Cercle Funambulesque, stating their aim in the very name they adopted: reviving the “classical pantomime” as performed at the old Théâtre des Funambules. One of the founding members, Paul Hugounet, who would also be the historian of the Cercle, listed as the second point in their programme “the promotion of the modern pantomime, by providing authors and composers with the opportunity to produce in public their works in this genre, whatever the artistic tendencies of those works may be.”[1] Special attention was to be given to the musical accompaniment of the new pieces.

    21 Laura Purcell-Gates Bath Spa University, UK Automata and Bêtise: Contamination Anxieties in Late Nineteenth-Century French Mime A complex relationship to gestural expression can be discerned through a close reading of the writings of late nineteenth-century Parisian mime artists and critics. The textual examination that I conduct in this article illuminates anxieties over the ideological construct of the “natural” body as it was positioned against the constructs of socialisation and civilisation in the late nineteenth century and identified with concepts of gross materiality (such as bodily fluids) and the organic (the living, breathing body set against the cold corpse). I argue that late nineteenth-century nostalgia for and simultaneous disgust with a “natural” Pierrot influenced the development of techniques of mime based on minimalist movement. Minimalist here refers to small and contained bodily movements that are discernible only at close proximity, a mechanised performance style marked by rapid, rigid movements associated with the automaton—set against the “natural” body as identified with the fluid and organic. Dr Laura Purcell-Gates is Senior Lecturer (Drama) at Bath Spa University, United Kingdom.

  • Charles Baudelaire - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Charles Baudelaire - poems - Publication Date: 2004 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Charles Baudelaire(9 April 1821 – 31 August 1867) Charles Pierre Baudelaire was a French poet who produced notable work as an essayist, art critic, and pioneering translator of <a href=" <b>Baudelaire the poet</b> “<i> Who among us has not dreamt, in moments of ambition, of the miracle of a poetic prose, musical without rhythm and rhyme, supple and staccato enough to adapt to the lyrical stirrings of the soul, the undulations of dreams, and sudden leaps of consciousness. This obsessive idea is above all a child of giant cities, of the intersecting of their myriad relations.</i> ” Baudelaire is one of the major innovators in French literature. His poetry is influenced by the French romantic poets of the earlier 19th century, although its attention to the formal features of verse connect it more closely to the work of the contemporary 'Parnassians'. As for theme and tone, in his works we see the rejection of the belief in the supremacy of nature and the fundamental goodness of man as typically espoused by the romantics and expressed by them in rhetorical, effusive and public voice in favor of a new urban sensibility, an awareness of individual moral complexity, an interest in vice (linked with decadence) and refined sensual and aesthetical pleasures, and the use of urban subject matter, such as the city, the crowd, individual passers-by, all expressed in highly ordered verse, sometimes through a cynical and ironic voice. Formally, the use of sound to create atmosphere, and of 'symbols', (images which take on an expanded function within the poem), betray a move towards considering the poem as a self-referential object, an idea further developed by the Symbolists Verlaine and Mallarmé, who acknowledge Baudelaire as a pioneer in this regard.

  • Thackeray and Bohemia
    University of Cambridge Faculty of English Thackeray and Bohemia Antonia Harland-Lang Trinity Hall A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2010 ii For Moo and Petey iii This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration. This dissertation does not exceed the regulation length, including footnotes, references, and appendices but excluding the bibliography. iv Abstract Whether as a counter-cultural phenomenon or a sociological myth, Bohemia has long eluded concrete definitions. In the last thirty years, however, there has been a noticeable contrast between the ambitious theoretical concerns of cultural historians of nineteenth- century Continental Bohemianism and the more staunchly biographical approaches of critics concerned with Bohemian writers in mid-Victorian England. In the absence of the Latin Quarter, attempts to define the English Bohemianism of Thackeray‘s era have been somewhat reductive, revolving around London establishments such as the Garrick Club and disparate groupings such as the metropolitan novelists, journalists, and playwrights who are sometimes pigeonholed as ‗Dickens‘s Young Men‘. This thesis uses the work of William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–63) to argue that such readings have lost sight of the profound impact which mid-Victorian ideas of Bohemianism had on a far wider section of middle-class Englishmen. Chapter 1 explores the pivotal role which Thackeray played in the translation of Bohemian behavioural ideals from France to England. Beginning and ending with his seminal Bohemian protagonist in Vanity Fair (1847–48), it surveys his engagement with the still-evolving ideas of Bohemianism at home and on the Continent.

But what people are not aware of, except for specialists, is that Nadar was much more than a photographer of the leading people of his time. He was a caricaturist, a lithographer, a hot-air balloon aficionado who championed the importance of aeronautical flight, an energetic self-promoter who believed in his own celebrity, and a restless soul who did all he could to establish photography as a medium where picture-takers would be respected and their work understood.

  • Knowles 2018 Wandi Oldmusi
    Affect, Citation, and Rapt Looking in Manet’s The Old Musician In Édouard Manet’s painting The Old Musician, six figures assemble in an indeterminate locale (Figure 1). Perhaps they have come in order to hear the musician, the older, bearded man who holds a violin in his lap, while plucking idly at its strings. One little boy, cross-eyed, wearing a dark jacket and pants, stares at the musician, expectantly. Yet the painting’s other figures do nothing to indicate their expectation for a concert champêtre. The figures are not joined to one another by hand movements or by gaze; they engage in no action that might provide clues to their mood or their motivation for gathering in this place. On the surface of the canvas, every figure touches the one next to it, white sleeve brushing brown scarf, the musician’s blanket-covered knee intruding upon the boy’s black trousers, two shades of brown cloak, the musician’s and the rag-picker’s, skirting one another edge to edge.1 Yet in the absence of any emotional tethering between the figures, this formal “contact” has the perverse effect of amplifying the sense that these figures have been forced together in apparently arbitrary fashion. Critics and art historians have provided different readings of this strange painting, from accounts of the painting’s composition, to its iconography, to Manet’s use of art-historical citations.2 I want to focus instead on describing the affect of the little boy in white and tan, his face framed by a straw hat (Figure 2, detail of Figure 1).
