  • The Critical Reception of Tippett's Operas
    Between Englishness and Modernism: The Critical Reception of Tippett’s Operas Ivan Hewett (Royal College of Music) [email protected] The relationship between that particular form of national identity and consciousness we term ‘Englishness’ and modernism has been much discussed1. It is my contention in this essay that the critical reception of the operas of Michael Tippett sheds an interesting and revealing light on the relationship at a moment when it was particularly fraught, in the decades following the Second World War. Before approaching that topic, one has to deal first with the thorny and many-sided question as to how and to what extent those operas really do manifest a quality of Englishness. This is more than a parochial question of whether Tippett is a composer whose special significance for listeners and opera-goers in the UK is rooted in qualities that only we on these islands can perceive. It would hardly be judged a triumph for Tippett if that question were answered in the affirmative. On the contrary, it would be perceived as a limiting factor — perhaps the very factor that prevents Tippett from exporting overseas as successfully as his great rival and antipode, Benjamin Britten. But even without that hard evidence of Tippett’s limited appeal, the very idea that his Englishness forms a major part of his significance could in itself be a disabling feature of the music. We are squeamish these days about granting a substantive aesthetic value to music on the grounds of its national qualities, if the composer in question is not safely locked away in the relatively remote past.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. The Operas of Michael Tippett: The Inner Values of Tippett as Portrayed by Selected Female Characters A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of. Philosophy Ill Music at Massey University, New Zealand Julie Jackson-Tretchikoff 2006 for my cfear li:us6ancf (l)imitri wno nas wnofe-neartec[(y encouragecf me to pursue a [ifefong cfream Abstract Sir Michael Kemp Tippett (1905-1998) was a British composer who wrote five operas. This dissertation explores the dramatic and musical presentation of five selected female characters, one from each of Tippett's operas: Sosostris (alto) The Midsummer Marriage (1955); Helen (mezzo-soprano) King Priam (1962); Denise ( dramatic soprano) The Knot Garden (1970); Hannah (rich mezzo) The Ice Break (1977); Jo Ann (lyric soprano) New Year (1989). It is argued that each of the five selected characters portrays Tippett' s inner values of humanitarianism, compassion, integrity and optimism. The dissertation focuses on certain key moments in each opera with an analysis of a central aria. Due to the writer's interest in the performance aspect of these operas, discussion centres on melody, the timbre of voice-types linked with instrumentation, rhythm, word­ setting and the vexed question of Tippett's libretti. 11 Acknowledgements I would particularly like to acknowledge the assistance and encouragement given to me by my UK supervisor, Dr Claire Seymour.

Both are faring well indeed, as evidenced this spring when I had the rare opportunity of attending Handel’s first two London successes in quick succession: Rinaldo (1711) in March at the Lyric and Teseo (1713) at Chicago Opera Theater in April. Each production proved the respective companies as fully capable of realizing a baroque opera in the less hospitable venue of a larger theater. At the Lyric, Rinaldo was juxtaposed against the traditional pageantry of Aida; COT balanced Teseo, its final Eliza van den Heever as the enchantress Armida in Rinaldo offering of the season, with less Photo: Dan Rest traditional fare - its captivating production of Moscow, Cheryomushki, a brilliant operatic Until recently, Boston, a city rich with musical resources, was spoof by Dmitri Shostakovich. fortunate to have two major opera companies: the smaller but more adventuresome Opera Boston and the larger more mainstream Boston Over the years, Boston in fact has Lyric Opera.

  • New Opera, Old Opera: Perspectives on Critical Interpretation
    Cambridge Opera Journal, 21, 2, 181–198 Cambridge University Press, 2010 doi:10.1017/S0954586710000078 New Opera, Old Opera: Perspectives on Critical Interpretation ARNOLD WHITTALL Some preliminary self-analysis In 1974 I wrote an article resonantly entitled ‘A War and a Wedding: Two Modern British Operas’, which began with the slightly cautious declaration that ‘Britten’s Billy Budd and Tippett’s The Midsummer Marriage’ are ‘in many respects the two best twentieth-century British operas so far’. Common ground stemmed from closeness of completion – the Britten in November 1951, the Tippett in October 1952 – but focused primarily on ‘the way that they both approach the one great post-Tristan operatic theme, which concerns the human need for self-knowledge. In so doing, both works accept that music itself is capable of expressing psychological insight as well as of depicting emotional states and situations’.1 By the time I came to compose a more elaborate essay on Billy Budd for volume 2 of this journal, my own focus had shifted to the way in which ‘as a composer Britten moves inevitably into the expressively ambivalent, the technically multi- valent’.2 It is not that I had discovered ambiguity in twentieth-century music sometime between 1974 and 1990: indeed, a version of the concept was prominent in one of my earliest pieces of writing, ‘Tonal Instability in Britten’s War Requiem’.3 But by 1989 critical musicology had begun to show the kind of concern with levels of multiplicity, especially as a property of modernism, that the conclusions of my 1974 essay about tensions or conflicts (‘wars’) that are either resolved (Tippett) or not resolved (Britten) could not adequately address.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explana )n of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps.

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02197-6 - The Cambridge Companion to Michael Tippett Edited by Kenneth Gloag and Nicholas Jones Frontmatter More information The Cambridge Companion to Michael Tippett Sir Michael Tippett is widely considered to be one of the most individual composers of the twentieth century, and his music continues to be performed to critical acclaim throughout the world. Written by a team of international scholars, this Companion provides a wide-ranging and accessible study of Tippett and his works. It discusses the contexts and concepts of modernism, tradition, politics, sexuality and creativity that shaped Tippett’s music and ideas, engaging with archive materials, relevant literature and models of interpretation. Chapters explore the genres in which Tippett composed, including opera, symphony, string quartet, concerto and piano sonata, to shed new light on his major works and draw attention to those that have not yet received the attention they deserve. Directing knowledge and expertise towards a wide readership, this book will enrich the listening experience and broaden understanding of the music of this endlessly fascinating and challenging composer.
