WM. KNABE & CO. BALTIMORE NEW YORK WASHINGTON LONEM>N ST. PETERSBURG BERUN Overture to "Leonora" No. 3, Op. 72. LuDwiG VAN Beethoven (Born at Bonn, December i6 (?), 1770; died at Vienna, March 26, 1827.) Beethoven's opera, "Fidelio, oder die eheliche Liebe," with text adapted freely by Joseph Sonnleithner from the French of Bouilly ("Leonore; ou, ly'Amour Conjugal," a "fait historique" in two acts and in prose, music by Gaveaux, Opera-Comique, Paris, February 19, 1798), was first performed at Vienna, November 20, 1805, with Anna Pauline Milder,* afterward Mrs. Hauptman, as the heroine. The first performance in Boston was on April i, 1857, with Mrs. Johannsen. Miss Berkiel, Beutler.f Neumann, Oehlein, and Weinlich as the chief singers. "Leonore" No. 2 was the overture played at the first performance in Vienna. The opera was withdrawn, revised, and produced again on March 29, 1806, when "Teonore" No. 3, a remodelled form of No. 2, was played as the overture. The opera was performed twice, and then withdrawn. There was talk of a performance at Prague in 1807, * Pauline Anna Milder was bom at Constantinople, December 13, 1783. She died at Berlin, May 29, 1838. The daughter of an Austrian courier, or, as some say, pastry cook to the Austrian embassador at Constantinople, and afterward interpreter to Prince Maurojeni, she had a most adventurous childhood. (The story is told at length in von Ledebur's " Tonkiinstler -Lexicon Berlin's.") Back in Austria, she studied three years with Sigismund Neukomm. Schikaneder heard her and brought her out in Vienna in 1803. as Juno in Siismayer's "Der Spiegel von Arkadien." She soon became famous, and she was engaged at the court opera, where she created the part of Leonora in "Fidelio." In 1810 she married a jeweller, Hauptmann. She sang as guest at many opera houses and was offered brilliant engagements, and in 1816 she became a member of the Berlin "Royal Opera House at a yearly salary of four thousand thalers and a vacation of three months. She retired with a pension in 1831, after having sung in three hundred and eighty operatic performances. She was also famous in Berlin as an oratorio singer. She appeared again in Berlin in 1834, but her voice was sadly worn, yet she sang as a guest in Copenhagen and St. Petersburg. Her funeral was conducted with pomp and ceremony, and it is said that the "Iphigenia in Tauris," "Alceste," and "Armide," her favorite operas, were put into her coffin, —a favor she asked shortly before her death. t Mr. Beutler sang that night for the last time. He had a cold, and the physician warned him against singing, but the audience filled the theatre, and he was persuaded. He became hoarse immediately after the performance, and, as his vocal cords were paralyzed, he never sang again. Mendelssohn, who had given him musical instruction, praised his voice, but urged him not to use it in opera, as it would not stand the wear and tear. Beutler then gave up the ambition of his life, but in the Revolution of 1848 he and other students at Heidelberg were obliged to leave the country. He came to the United States, and yielded to the temptation of a good offer from an opera manager. Pie became an understudy of Mario, then the misfortune befell him. I am indebted for these facts to Beutler's daughter, Mrs. Clara Tippett, of Boston. TWO GREATEST HITS OF PARIS IN YEARS BOUSS-BOUSS-MfiE, by Ch. Borel-Clerc, Piano Solo . Price 60c. Piano .

    Synopsis Prologue Mythical times. At night in the mountains, the three Norns, daughters of Erda, weave the rope of destiny. They tell how Wotan ordered the World Ash Tree, from which his spear was once cut, to be felled and its wood piled around Valhalla. The burning of the pyre will mark the end of the old order. Suddenly, the rope breaks. Their wisdom ended, the Norns descend into the earth. Dawn breaks on the Valkyries’ rock, and Siegfried and Brünnhilde emerge. Having cast protective spells on Siegfried, Brünnhilde sends him into the world to do heroic deeds. As a pledge of his love, Siegfried gives her the ring that he took from the dragon Fafner, and she offers her horse, Grane, in return. Siegfried sets off on his travels. Act I In the hall of the Gibichungs on the banks of the Rhine, Hagen advises his half- siblings, Gunther and Gutrune, to strengthen their rule through marriage. He suggests Brünnhilde as Gunther’s bride and Siegfried as Gutrune’s husband. Since only the strongest hero can pass through the fire on Brünnhilde’s rock, Hagen proposes a plan: A potion will make Siegfried forget Brünnhilde and fall in love with Gutrune. To win her, he will claim Brünnhilde for Gunther. When Siegfried’s horn is heard from the river, Hagen calls him ashore. Gutrune offers him the potion. Siegfried drinks and immediately confesses his love for her.Ð When Gunther describes the perils of winning his chosen bride, Siegfried offers to use the Tarnhelm to transform himself into Gunther.

  • Musical Landmarks in New York
    MUSICAL LANDMARKS IN NEW YORK By CESAR SAERCHINGER HE great war has stopped, or at least interrupted, the annual exodus of American music students and pilgrims to the shrines T of the muse. What years of agitation on the part of America- first boosters—agitation to keep our students at home and to earn recognition for our great cities as real centers of musical culture—have not succeeded in doing, this world catastrophe has brought about at a stroke, giving an extreme illustration of the proverb concerning the ill wind. Thus New York, for in- stance, has become a great musical center—one might even say the musical center of the world—for a majority of the world's greatest artists and teachers. Even a goodly proportion of its most eminent composers are gathered within its confines. Amer- ica as a whole has correspondingly advanced in rank among musical nations. Never before has native art received such serious attention. Our opera houses produce works by Americans as a matter of course; our concert artists find it popular to in- clude American compositions on their programs; our publishing houses publish new works by Americans as well as by foreigners who before the war would not have thought of choosing an Amer- ican publisher. In a word, America has taken the lead in mu- sical activity. What, then, is lacking? That we are going to retain this supremacy now that peace has come is not likely. But may we not look forward at least to taking our place beside the other great nations of the world, instead of relapsing into the status of a colony paying tribute to the mother country? Can not New York and Boston and Chicago become capitals in the empire of art instead of mere outposts? I am afraid that many of our students and musicians, for four years compelled to "make the best of it" in New York, are already looking eastward, preparing to set sail for Europe, in search of knowledge, inspiration and— atmosphere.

  • Resituating Transatlantic Opera: the Case of the Théâtre D'orléans, New
    Resituating Transatlantic Opera: The Case of the Théâtre d’Orléans, New Orleans, 1819–1859 Charlotte Alice Bentley Emmanuel College October 2017 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ABSTRACT This thesis examines the production and reception of French opera in New Orleans in the first half of the nineteenth century, through a focus on the city’s principal French-language theatre from 1819 to 1859, the Théâtre d’Orléans. Building on the small body of existing scholarship concerning the theatre’s history and repertoire, here I draw upon a greatly expanded range of sources—including court cases, sheet music, and novels—in order to understand more about the ways in which operatic culture shaped and was shaped by city life in this period. New Orleans’s operatic life relied on transatlantic networks of people and materials in order to thrive, and this thesis explores the city’s place within growing global operatic systems in the nineteenth century. The five chapters each reflect on different aspects of operatic translocation and its significance for New Orleans. The first two argue for the centrality of human agency to the development of transatlantic networks of production and performance by examining the management of the theatre and the international movement of singers in turn. Chapter 3 investigates the impact of French grand opéra on New Orleans, arguing that the genre provided a focus for the negotiation of local, national, and international identities among opposing critical (and linguistic) factions within the city, while also providing an impetus for the development of a material culture of opera.

  • Jewish Contributions to Music
    Jewish Contributions to the Art of Music By: Cantor Paul Kowarsky How significant was the Jewish contribution to the development of the art of music? Many of the early Christians were formerly Jews, and brought their Jewish music & melodies into their churches. Research and comparison studies with Gregorian chants have proven conclusively the debt which early church music owes to Ancient Jewish music. This fact impacts upon the entire history and development of the art of music. Biblical texts inspired the early Italian composers and were the basis for the texts of numerous great choral works such as many of Handel's compositions for choir, Haydn's "The Creation" and Mendelssohn's "Elijah." The influence of Jewish song is clear in the works of many great 19th Century composers: Bruch's Kol Nidrei and "Three Hebrew Melodies"; Mussorgsky's "Joshua", Rimsky Korsakov’s song entitled: "Chanson Hebraique," to mention but a few. After the destruction of the Temple and the ban on instrumental playing at services, Jewish musical talent was found in synagogue singing. Young boys sang in choirs and then became cantors (as did I). Many of the great cantors were admired also by the non-Jewish world. Cantor Israel Lovy (1773-1832) of the Great Synagogue in Paris, was invited by Maximilian Joseph Duke of Bavaria, to sing the tenor part in Haydn's "Creation". Cantor Salomon Sulzer (1844-1890) of Vienna was recognized as the first interpreter of the songs of his friend, Franz Schubert. Franz Liszt's laudatory writings about how moved he was when hearing Sulzer daven, are well-known.
