She appeared with success in South America, Russia, Spain, England and her native Italy and was on the roster of the Hammerstein Manhattan Opera, 1908-10. One New York press notice indicates that her rendering of the “Suicidio” from La Gioconda on a Manhattan Sunday night concert “kept her busy bowing in recognition to applause for three or four minutes”. At La Scala she was cast with Battistini in Simon Boccanegra and created for that house in 1911 the Marschallin in their first Rosenkavalier. Her career continued into the mid-1920s when she retired to Buenos Aires and taught. 4113. Edison BA 28159. LA TRAVIATA: Addio del passato (Verdi). ReproB/T.

Catalunya ha tingut homes eminents, homes representatius, en totes èpoques, que per sí sols demostren la força, la fesomia incon- fundible de nostra rassa; savis i poetes, artistes i filosops : grans reis de la nació, grans reis del pensament i de la fantasia. 1 si hem tingut èpoques de decadència, en canvi, ara última• ment, amb aquesta reacció de rassa que en diem Renaixensa, han surgit altra volta aquests esperits singulars que són com la flor de l'arbre de la Pàtria i que demostren la vida fecunda que l'anima. Però de la última plèiade de grans homes de Catalunya, cap tan alt, cap tan fecundant a l'espiritualitat catalana com el Dr. Torras i Bages. I és perquè ell era el gran català pensador, vident, el gran català cristià. Per la intel·ligència som homes, pel cristianisme pugem a la perfecció i ens divinitzem; el Dr. Torras era potent en la ciència del pensament i tenia el ver esperit d'apòstol de la Veritat revelada, i aixi ell s'imposava a qui sedejava veritat i perfecció, i per això la seva influencia fecundía bellament i sanament en el jardí intel·lectual i espiritual de Catalunya.

  • Representing a Christian Nation: Sacred and Providential Discourses in Opera in the United States, 1911–1917
    Representing a Christian Nation: Sacred and Providential Discourses in Opera in the United States, 1911–1917 AARON ZIEGEL Abstract As the genre of American opera was coming of age during the 1910s, composers and librettists began to incorporate the materials of sacred music into the operatic context with surprising frequency. This often took the form of prayer arias, sacred choruses, hymnody, or choral apotheoses, examples of which appear in Frederick Converse’s The Sacrifice (1911), Victor Herbert’s Natoma (1911), Mary Carr Moore’s Narcissa (1912), and Henry Hadley’s Azora (1917). These composers modeled their efforts after familiar European precedents, including Wagner’s Lohengrin, Gounod’s Faust, and Meyerbeer’s Les Huguenots, among other works. Close examination of the music, however, reveals a distinctively American approach in which sacred materials function to reinforce statements of patriotic nationalism. By situating these long-overlooked American operas alongside contemporaneous commentary on the United States’ sense of its sacred purpose, this article illustrates how the composers and librettists sought to participate in the discourses of providentialism, the “Christian nation” concept, manifest destiny, and “True Americanism” in order to craft a characteristically national style. The inclusion of sacred musical ingredients thus helped redefine the genre for US listeners, as the operas’ characters give voice to their Americanness through the sacred music they sing. A woman prays to God seeking strength and perseverance through troubled times. A recent convert narrates a dream-vision in which the coming of Christ is revealed. A congregation sings hymns of praise. A choir performs an anthem based upon a liturgical text.

Alicji Jarzębskiej, Uniwer­ sytet Jagielloński, Instytut Muzykologii, Kraków 2012. W polskim piśmiennictwie muzycznym brak prac dotyczących działalności arty­ stycznej Granadosa; w latach 70. na łamach „Ruchu Muzycznego” opublikowano artykuł Wiarosława Sandelewskiego pt.

  • VOCAL 78 Rpm Discs Minimum Bid As Indicated Per Item
    VOCAL 78 rpm Discs Minimum bid as indicated per item. Listings “Just about 1-2” should be considered as mint and “Cons. 2” with just slight marks. For collectors searching top copies, you’ve come to the right place! The further we get from the era of production (in many cases now 100 years or more), the more difficult it is to find such excellent extant pressings. Some are actually from mint dealer stocks and others the result of having improved copies via dozens of collections purchased over the past fifty years. * * * For those looking for the best sound via modern reproduction, those items marked “late” are usually of high quality shellac, pressed in the 1950-55 period. A number of items in this particular catalogue are excellent pressings from that era. Also featured are many “Z” shellac Victors, their best quality surface material (later 1930s). * * * Please keep in mind that the minimum bids are in U.S. Dollars, a benefit to most collectors. * * * “Text label on verso.” For a brief period (1912-‘14), Victor pressed silver-on-black labels on the reverse sides of some of their single-faced recordings, usually featuring translations of the text or similarly related comments. BESSIE ABOTT [s]. Riverdale, NY, 1878-New York, 1919. Following the death of her father which left her family penniless, Bessie and her sister Jessie (born Pickens) formed a vaudeville sister vocal act, accompanying themselves on banjo and guitar. Upon the recommend- dation of Jean de Reszke, who heard them by chance, Bessie began operatic training with Frida Ashforth.
