EXILE AND EMIGRATION: THE SURVIVAL OF “GERMAN CULTURE” Introduction In 1941, the Hungarian ambassador in Washington paid a courtesy call to the State Department, since Nazi Germany had forced his country to declare war against the United States. It turned out to be a very civilized meeting indeed and after the ambassador, following the rules of diplo- macy, had fulŠlled his somewhat delicate mission, the secretary of state politely asked him to sit down so that the two of them might take the rare opportunity for a good talk over crackers and a glass of brandy. The following conversation ensued. “I cannot hide from you, Mr. Ambassador, how much I regret that the Hungarian Republic has decided to wage war against my country, the United States of America!” “Sir,” the ambassador replied, “please believe me when I say how much I personally resent this decision.

    10.3726/82030_9 Abhandlungen zum Rahmenthema XXXIX ,Literarische Bibelrezeption‘ Fünfte Folge Leiter des Themas Ralf Georg Czapla (Heidelberg) Simone Lutz (München) 10 Vereinnahmung der Bibel: Libretti von deutschen Moses-Oratorien im 19. Jahrhundert Von Linda Maria Koldau, Frankfurt am Main Jedermann weiss und kann es immerfort bestätigt sehen – Niemand aber weiss es besser, als jene Meister selbst – dass bey der Composition eines Oratoriums an Entschädigung, und wäre es auch nur die eines Tagelöhners, bloss für die aufgewendete Zeit, jetzt gar nicht zu denken ist. Geniesst der Componist nicht schon eines beträchlichen Rufes: so kann sein Werk wohl nicht einmal zu öffentlicher Aufführung gelangen. Aber wenn er auch eines solchen Rufes ge- niesst, und damit erlangt, dass es hier einmal und dort einmal aufgeführt wird: so muss er es, fast ohne Ausnahme, zu dem, was man einen wohlthätigen Zweck zu nennen pflegt, mithin wieder umsonst, hingeben; und soll die Ausführung anstän- dig und wirksam herauskommen: was für Laufens und Rennens, Einladens, Einstudirens, Probirens, was für Zeitverlust, Beschwerde, mitunter auch Ver- drüsslichkeiten, fallen gemeiniglich dabey auf ihn! […] Die Composition eines Heftes hübscher Clavier-Variationen oder scherzhafter Gesellschaftslieder; ein rasch und brillant öffentlich vorgetragenes Rondo und dergl. würden wenigstens lebhafteres Anerkennen finden; und würde nun, dass sie diess gefunden, in recht vielen Zeitblättern wiederholt – […] so möchten diese Erzeugnisse unserm Meister leichtlich mehr zur Verbreitung seines Rufes dienen, als die Abfassung eines Oratoriums.1 Friedrich Rochlitz in der Allgemeinen musikalischen Zeitung, 1828 Oratorien sind ein Verlustgeschäft – bereits im 19. Jahrhundert galt, was sich im heutigen Kulturleben fortsetzt: Mit Oratorien lässt sich, nimmt man die wenigen großen ‚Schlager‘ der Oratorienliteratur aus, wenig Geld verdienen.

  • Purcell, Handel, Haydn, and Mendelssohn Anniversary Reflections
    Purcell, Handel, Haydn, and Mendelssohn Anniversary Reflections March 2009 Martin Adams Trinity College, Dublin "That what took least, was really best": tensions between the private and public aspects of Purcell's compositional thought. Roger North remembered that Purcell "used to mark what did not take for the best musick, it being his constant observation that what took least, was really best." Purcell's penchant for complexity has been discussed widely; and Alan Howard has recently said that aspects of the composer's practice set him "somewhat apart from contemporary composers and, even more importantly, from the expectations of his audiences." They also set him somewhat apart from the other composers in this conference. My paper will argue that this apartness is rooted in a tension between expectations - those towards himself and towards his paying audience. It is a tension between the private and the public, the private epitomised in music of a "highbrow" kind (whatever its intended audience), and the public epitomised in his theatre music. Via a comparison of works private (especially songs from Harmonia Sacra) and public (mainly theatre songs), the paper will define the thinking and practice that differentiates the two spheres. It will also suggest that the private sphere was so deeply embedded that Purcell's reputation inevitably rests on a small number of works. In that respect too, he makes a revealing comparison with the other composers in this conference. Maria Teresa Arfini Milan and Aosta University Music as Autobiography: Mendelssohn between Beethoven and Schumann There are some compositions where Mendelssohn shows actually autobiographical traits.

  • Liszt and Christus: Reactionary Romanticism
    LISZT AND CHRISTUS: REACTIONARY ROMANTICISM A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Robert Pegg May 2020 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Maurice Wright, Advisory Chair, Music Studies Dr. Michael Klein, Music Studies Dr. Paul Rardin, Choral Activities Dr. Christine Anderson, Voice and Opera, external member © Copyright 2020 by Robert Pegg All Rights Reserved € ii ABSTRACT This dissertation seeks to examine the historical context of Franz Lizt’s oratorio Christus and explore its obscurity. Chapter 1 makes note of the much greater familiarity of other choral works of the Romantic period, and observes critics’ and scholars’ recognition (or lack thereof) of Liszt’s religiosity. Chapter 2 discusses Liszt’s father Adam, his religious and musical experiences, and his influence on the young Franz. Chapter 3 explores Liszt’s early adulthood in Paris, particularly with respect to his intellectual growth. Special attention is given to François-René, vicomte de Chateaubriand and the Abbé Félicité de Lamennais, and the latter’s papal condemnation. After Chapter 4 briefly chronicles Liszt’s artistic achievements in Weimar and its ramifications for the rest of his work, Chapter 5 examines theological trends in the nineteenth century, as exemplified by David Friedrich Strauss, and the Catholic Church’s rejection of such novelties. The writings of Charles Rosen aid in decribing the possible musical ramifications of modern theology. Chapter 6 takes stock of the movements for renewal in Catholic music, especially the work of Prosper Gueranger and his fellow Benedictine monks of Solesmes, France, and of the Society of Saint Cecilia in Germany.

  • The “Da Ponte” Operas : Music in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Cent
    The “Da Ponte” Operas : Music In The Seventeenth And Eighteenth Cent... http://www.oxfordwesternmusic.com/view/Volume2/actrade-9780195... Oxford History of Western Music: Richard Taruskin See also from Grove Music Online Lorenzo da Ponte Le nozze di Figaro THE “DA PONTE” OPERAS Chapter: CHAPTER 9 Enlightenment and Reform Source: MUSIC IN THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES Author(s): Richard Taruskin After Die Entführung , Mozart did not complete another opera for four years. Part of the reason for the gap had to do with his burgeoning career in Vienna as a freelancer, which meant giving lots of concerts, which (as we will see) meant writing a lot of piano concertos. But it was also due to Joseph II’s unexpected disbanding of the national singspiel company and its replacement by an Italian opera buffa troupe at court whose regular composers Giovanni Paisiello, Vincente Martìn y Soler, and Antonio Salieri—Italians all (Martìn being a naturalized Spaniard)—had a proprietary interest in freezing out a German rival, especially one as potentially formidable as Mozart. 1 / 4 2011.01.27. 15:29 The “Da Ponte” Operas : Music In The Seventeenth And Eighteenth Cent... http://www.oxfordwesternmusic.com/view/Volume2/actrade-9780195... fig. 9-7 Lorenzo da Ponte, engraving by Michele Pekenino after a painting by Nathaniel Rogers (Mozarteum, Salzburg). Mozart’s letters testify to his difficulty in gaining access to Lorenzo da Ponte (1749–1838, original name Emmanuele Conegliano), the newly appointed poet to the court theater. (There was a certain typically Joseph II symbolism in the fact that a specialist in opera buffa should have been chosen to replace the aged Metastasio, the paragon of the seria , who died in 1782 at the age of 84.) “These Italian gentlemen are very civil to your face,” Mozart complained to his father in 1783.

    09 Lepenies 121 1132 30/10/03 3:10 pm Page 235 ISAIAH BERLIN LECTURE Overestimating Culture: A German Problem WOLF LEPENIES Wissenschaftskolleg, Berlin Bombs on Dresden—and the Rosenkavalier in the skies ON 13 FEBRUARY 1945 A YOUNG MOTHER with a baby in her arms and her sister holding a small boy by the hand missed the overcrowded train to Dresden. So they had to spend the night in a village nearby. The farm where they found shelter was on elevated ground, and among the images the boy could later recall from his childhood was a stroll in the open on the night that Dresden burned. Quietly but with a definite feeling of triumph, he occasionally spoke of this night—as if there were personal merit in having survived the disaster. When the refugees returned to their quarters, the grownups stayed up for a long time. The boy was put to bed, but the door was open a crack, letting in light. So he could see above him a lampshade of glass fibres that softly clinked back and forth. Could any German artillery or flak have remained to shake the ground and make the lamp move? Sleep came swiftly.
