(544) George Frideric Handel was born in Halle on February 23, 1685, and died in London on April 14, 1759. The name was differently spelt by various branches of the family, as Handel, Hendel, Handeler, Hendt- ler; Georg Friedrich's name was at first spelt Hendel in England, but afterwards Handel ; in Germany he is still known as Handel, and in France as Haendel, sometimes also until quite recently, as Hcendel. After settling in London, he himself spelt his surname Handel, and his middle name Frideric. Handel's father was sixty-five when his son was born ; he was a surgeon by profession, a man of no artistic tastes, and strongly' op- posed to his son studying music at all. The boy's childhood was a strug- gle against parental authority, for his taste for music showed itself very early ; and it was not until the Duke of Saxe-Weissenfels intervened that he was allowed to follow his bent. In 1692 (when seven years old) he began to study counterpoint, canon, and fugue under Friedrich Wilhelm Zachau, BRAIN-WORKERS.

In 1695 he went to Berlin, where he met Attilio Ariosti and Giovanni Battista Bononcini, and excited the latter's jealousy by his improvisations on the harpsichord, boy of ten though he was. The Elector was ready to send him to Italy to study, but his father ordered him back to Halle and Zachau. When his father died, he entered the orchestra of the German Opera in Hamburg as violino ripieno ; Reinhard Keiser was then musical director of the institution, but, on his being forced to hide from his creditors, Handel succeeded him at the harpsichord, and was soon regularly engaged as cembalist and conductor. Here he formed a friendship with Johann Mattheson. His first opera, Altnira, was given in January, 1705. In 1706 he went on a trip to Italy, producing operas and other works with invari- able success in Venice, Florence, Rome, and Naples. The works of Alessandro Scarlatti made a profound impression upon him, and Scarlatti was probably the only master whose influence upon his subsequent style was at all noteworthy. In 1709 he accepted the post of Kapellmeister to the Elector of Hanover — afterwards George I., of England — on condition of being allowed to visit England, which he did in 17 10. Here his repu- tation was at once settled on a firm basis by the production of his Rinalde (written in a fortnight) at the King's Theatre, Haymarket, on February 24, 171 1. After six months he had to return to Hanover; but he went back again to London in January, 18 12, apparently without leave of absence from Hanover, for, when the Elector came to England as king, it was all Baron Kilmanseck could do, added to the propitiatory composition of the Water-Music, to have him reinstated in the royal grace with an annuity of ^"200. In 17 18 he was appointed chapel-master to the Duke of Chandos, which post he held six years. In 1720 he assumed the direction of the Italian Opera for the Royal Academy of Music, and now his fierce rivalry with his old jealous friend (?) Bononcini began. In 1747 his health be- came seriously impaired, he had a stroke of paralysis and went to Aix-la- Chapelle to follow a course of treatment.

No wolf, Carl Stasny, and Leo Schuli. (647 few new operas he brought out failed with the public ; and, after Deidamia (1741), he stopped writing for the stage. He now turned his powers' to oratorio almost exclusively; Saul and Israel in Egypt were written and brought out in 1740, the Messiah in 1741, and Jtphtha, his last, in 1742. While writing Jephtha, he was attacked by a disease which finally de- stroyed his eyesight; he was couched three times for cataract without suc- cess, and was stone-blind for the rest of his life. In spite of this, and his fast failing general health, he kept up an active life, giving concerts and conducting his oratorios; but from the beginning of his old rivalry with Bononcini he had been unpopular with the aristocracy; he had quarrelled with Senesino (Francesco Bernardi), the famous singer, in 1733, and now obstinately refused to write anything for him, or, in short, to do anything to propitiate the nobility. Yet, during the last years of his life, the opposi- tion of the aristocratic party to him grew less and less. He was buried in the south transept of Westminster Abbey, a monument by Roubiliac being erected over his tomb in 1762. Handel's name is nowadays often coupled with that of his great contemporary, Johann Sebastian Bach. The two never met, although Bach tried hard to bring about a meeting; but appar- ently Handel did not wish to meet him, for, when Bach came to Halle on purpose to see him in 17 19, he found that Handel had left there the day before. Except that both Bach and Handel wrote in the general style of their day, the two men had little in common. Bach lived quietly in small German towns, as organist or church-cantor, writing principally for the church and having no real rivals ; his music was by no means popular with the public, being far beyond the general comprehension.

    Prospero’s Death: Modernism, Anti-humanism and Un re in ascolto1 But this rough magic I here abjure, and, when I have requir’d Some heavenly music, which even now I do, To work mine end upon their senses that This airy charm is for, I'll break my staff, Bury it certain fathoms in the earth, And deeper than did ever plummet sound I’ll drown my book. Solemn music. Prospero in William Shakespeare, The Tempest, V/1, 50-57 (Shakespeare 2004, p.67) Yet, at this very moment when we do at last see ourselves as we are, neither cosy nor playful, but swaying out on the ultimate wind-whipped cornice that overhangs the unabiding void – we have never stood anywhere else,– when our reasons are silenced by the heavy huge derision,–There is nothing to say. There never has been,–and our wills chuck in their hands– There is no way out. ‘Caliban to the Audience’, W. H. Auden, ‘The Sea and the Mirror’ (Auden 1991, p.444) Luciano Berio was riven by anxiety about opera and theatre. In an interview with Umberto Eco, ‘Eco in ascolto’, held in 1986 not long after the premiere of Un re in ascolto, he insists that the work should be considered a ‘musical action’ (azione musicale), a concept he associates with Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde and in which ‘musical process steers the story’. This he contrasts with opera, which, according to him, is ‘sustained by an “Aristotelian” type of narrative, which tends to take priority over musical development’ (Berio 1989, p.2).

  • Berio, Calvino Und Prospero Un Re in Ascolto Reflektiert Von Claudia Di Luzio
    Berio, Calvino und Prospero Un re in ascolto reflektiert von Claudia di Luzio Un re in ascolto, «azione musicale in due parti» von Luciano Berio, 1984 bei den Salzburger Festspielen uraufgeführt, basiert auf einer Montage von Textbruchstücken disparater Herkunft. Wurden die ersten Schritte in der Entstehung des Werkes gemeinsam mit Italo Calvino getan, so fuhr Berio an einem gewissen Punkt mit der Anfertigung des Textbuches auf eigene Faust fort; Anlaß dafür mögen divergente poetologische Vorstellungen gewesen sein. Dennoch sind einige wichtige aus dieser Zusammenarbeit entsprungene Teile in reflektierter Form in die definitive Textfassung ein- gegangen. Im Kontext des von Berio konzipierten Textes und insbesondere in seiner musikalischen Umsetzung öffnen sie sich neuen Deutungen. Den thematischen Anstoß zur Realisierung des Projektes gab der von Roland Barthes und Roland Havas für die Enciclopedia Einaudi verfaßte Artikel «Ascolto»1, in dem drei Hörweisen unterschieden werden: das instinktive, das dekodierende, begreifende und schließlich das mit dem Willen, selbst gehört zu werden, einhergehende intersubjektive Hören, in dem weniger das Gesagte zählt als vielmehr, wer spricht oder kommuni- ziert. Calvino schrieb daraufhin einen ersten Textentwurf2, in dem ein vom Hörsinn besessener König von gehörten und imaginierten Stimmen und Geräuschen verfolgt wird. Diesen Textvorschlag Calvinos lehnte Berio auf- grund dramaturgischer Schwächen und schwerer Umsetzbarkeit in Musik ab.3 Calvino entwarf daraufhin ein Sujet, das auf Berios Veranlassung die Idee des horchenden Königs mit metatheatralen Elementen kombiniert. Die Figur des Königs ist durch die eines Theaterdirektors ersetzt, und die Handlung spielt sich auf drei simultanen Ebenen ab: im Kopf des Opern- direktors, auf der Bühne während einer Aufführung sowie in den Kulissen und hinter der Bühne.

  • Conflicting Agendas at the Königliche Nationaltheater? Johann Friedrich Reichardt's Die Geisterinsel on the Huldigungstag for Friedrich Wilhelm III
    Kulturgeschichte Preuûens - Colloquien 6 (2018) Mårten Nehrfors Hultén Conflicting agendas at the Königliche Nationaltheater? Johann Friedrich Reichardt©s Die Geisterinsel on the Huldigungstag for Friedrich Wilhelm III Abstract: With the founding of the Königliche Nationaltheater in 1786, Friedrich Wilhelm II added an additional facet to his court©s public image. Although an institution in close connection with the court, it was also a venue where the bourgeoisie was gaining political and societal confidence, and a place where an idea of a more diversified community was expressed. Clearly, the king and the people did not necessarily share a common agenda. For instance, nationalistic views of equality ought to have been one matter of conflict. This paper looks at a specific case in order to highlight this conflicting situation. On 6 July 1798, the Huldigungstag for the new king Friedrich Wilhelm III, Reichardt©s Die Geisterinsel was premiered at the Königliche Nationaltheater. Often described as an innocent kind of crowd-pleasing Zauberflöte-imitation, this Singspiel can also be read as an audacious recommendation for the new king how to be a righteous regent. An oddly bold way to pledge allegiance it seems. <1> Following his accession to the throne in 1786, Friedrich Wilhelm II sought to distance himself from his predecessor and uncle, Friedrich II. One way to accomplish this was with the founding of the Königliche Nationaltheater, built on the Doebbelin theatre company.1 With its foundation the new king gave his court©s public image an alternative addition. As has been emphasized in the past decades this new national theatre must be regarded as an institution in close connection to the court.

A consideration of over 1500 opera reviews from close to thirty periodicals, however, paints a more complex picture. In addition to a fascination with the supernatural, composers were drawn to a variety of libretti, including Biblical and Classical topics, and considered the application of recitative and other conventions most historians have overlooked because of their un-German heritage. Despite the variety of approaches and conceptions of what a German opera might look like, writers from Vienna to Kassel shared a common aspiration to develop a true German opera. The new language of concert criticism found from specialized music journals like the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung to the entertainment inserts of feuilletons like the Zeitung für die elegante Welt made the operatic endeavor of the early nineteenth century a national one rather than a regional one as it was in the eighteenth century. ii Copyright 2010, Kevin Robert Burke iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to offer gratitude to all my colleagues, friends, and family who supported me with encouraging words, a listening ear, and moments of celebration at the end of each stage.

  • Tempest Berensmeyer 2Rev 14 07 14
    Shakespeare and Media Ecology: Beyond Historicism and Presentism Ingo Berensmeyer (Justus Liebig University Giessen, Department of English; Ghent University, Department of Literary Studies) Abstract This article proposes media ecology – a combination of media studies and performance studies with literary and cultural history – as a research perspective for Shakespeare studies. In contrast to a hermeneutics of renewal – as evinced both in the New Historicism and in what has been called Presentism –, which tries to turn Shakespeare into "our contemporary" (Jan Kott), media ecology combines a sense of historical alterity with an awareness of the continuing transformations of 'Shakespeare' in changing media settings: from manuscripts and printed texts to theatrical performances, music, opera, cinema, and televised media events. Moving beyond the currently dominant strands of Renaissance studies (the historicist and the presentist bias), this article challenges scholarly ideas of historicity (as opposed to timelessness, universality or contemporaneity) on the one hand and concepts of presentism (as opposed to historic specificity or singularity) on the other hand. How, if at all, can we reconcile the urge to make Shakespeare contemporary (and, by extension, keep his work relevant) and the conflicting desire for a historically accurate interpretation? As an example, the article focuses on the masque in The Tempest, which poses obvious difficulties for a hermeneutics of renewal and is often cut from performance or adapted beyond recognition. Later productions and adaptations frequently extend the spectacular qualities of the masque to The Tempest as a whole and ignore the skepticism about theatrical illusion that is voiced by Prospero in the play. In the case of The Tempest, cultural productions, ranging from dramatic performances to the closing ceremony of the London Olympics of 2012, are difficult to conceptualize in the framework of adaptation studies (which relies on the precedence of an original over its derivations).

  • What Is Speculative Music Composition?
    44 PARSE JOURNAL Abstract One of the challenges of contemporary music composition is to speculate upon “possible worlds” as a counterpoint to our contemporary understanding of place, where the lyrical impulse in music is sensitive to relations between human impact and presence in the more-than-human world. Such sensitivity arises from a compositional superfuity where subjectivity is “dislocated presence” for new modes of perception to appear that resist representation, conceptualisation, enframing, quantifcation and instrumentalisation. Music composition today should ask listeners to listen beyond anthropocentric terms, including the ways in which the resistance of the world—its conficting and dynamic materiality—exceeds both conceptual thought and technological control. Tis “speculative turn” in music composition is indeed not to excise music’s resemblance to language, and by extension music’s capacity for expression, but to decentre music’s humanised expression from its privileged position for the possibility of a music independent of from language, thought and intentions, where music’s materiality can exceed human agency. Such music would suggest a critical materialist sound—a sound world outside of consciousness rather than a sound world fully endowed with consciousness, thus placing the listener in a space where they are required to rethink their personhood within a larger domain of life. 45 What is Speculative Music Composition? MING TSAO Ming Tsao is Professor of Composition at Gothenburg University, and holds compositions have been performed by ensembles such as the Arditti Quartet, a PhD in Music Composition from the University of California, San Diego, ensemble recherche, ELISION Ensemble, Ensemble SurPlus and Ensemble an MA in Mathematics from the San Francisco State University, an MA in Ascolta, in venues such as the Donaueschingen Musiktage Festival, Wien Ethnomusicology from Columbia University, and a BM in Music Composition Modern, Wittener Tage Festival, Maerz Musik, and the Darmstadt New Music from the Berklee College of Music.

Durch seine Werke bleibt William Shakespeare in der kulturellen Erinnerung der Welt nicht nur präsent, sondern lebendig. Die Ringvorlesung, mit der das Englische Seminar der Universität Göttingen Shakespeare im einen Beitrag zu den weltweit stattfi ndenden Shakespeare-Feiern geleistet hat, hat die andauernde Faszination William Shakespeares als Spiegelkabinett Herausforderung begriffen und sich die Frage nach der produktiven Vielfalt der Rezeptionsweisen seines Werks gestellt. Shakespeares Werk und Leben haben in den vergangenen Jahrhunderten immer wieder die literarische, Zur produktiven Vielfalt künstlerische und musikalische Imagination inspiriert und sind weltweit zum Ausgangspunkt ästhetischer Neuschöpfungen geworden: in Form von seiner Rezeption Theateraufführungen und Filmadaptionen, von literarischen Bezugnahmen, von musikalischen oder bildlichen Umsetzungen Shakespeare’scher Szenen. So hat eine jede Zeit „ihren“ Shakespeare hervorgebracht und spiegelt die ihr eigenen Ideen, Identitäten, Konfl ikte und Probleme in der produktiven Aneignung seiner Dramen. Alam / Schaff (Hg.)
