Part of the old Pabst brewery has been repurposed as the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee’s Zilber School of Public Health.

Doctoral Dissertations. 580. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/580 ABSTRACT The Rise of the Tenor Voice in the Late Eighteenth Century: Mozart’s Opera and Concert Arias Joshua Michael May University of Connecticut, 2014 W. A. Mozart’s opera and concert arias for tenor are among the first music written specifically for this voice type as it is understood today, and they form an essential pillar of the pedagogy and repertoire for the modern tenor voice. Yet while the opera arias have received a great deal of attention from scholars of the vocal literature, the concert arias have been comparatively overlooked; they are neglected also in relation to their counterparts for soprano, about which a great deal has been written. There has been some pedagogical discussion of the tenor concert arias in relation to the correction of vocal faults, but otherwise they have received little scrutiny. This is surprising, not least because in most cases Mozart’s concert arias were composed for singers with whom he also worked in the opera house, and Mozart always paid close attention to the particular capabilities of the musicians for whom he wrote: these arias offer us unusually intimate insights into how a first-rank composer explored and shaped the potential of the newly-emerging voice type of the modern tenor voice.

  • Graduate Report
    GRADUATE REPORT Serving Non-Profits Faculty News Around Campus Profiles Alumni Awards Dinner Giving Back Class Notes Spring/Summer 2011 etter from the Dean Dear Graduates: L Summer session is going full tilt and the beautiful May morning on which Attorney General Jepsen addressed the Class of 2011 has made way for a glorious July 4 weekend. I am grateful for the invigorating effect of New England’s change of seasons as we begin planning a new school year. There is much work to do. Legal educators everywhere are facing a changing profession in which entry level jobs are growing scarce, and in which greater rewards are going to smaller numbers of lawyers. Conceptual dexterity and analytical rigor, long the hallmarks of our craft, are no longer sufficient to guarantee success. Law schools must adapt our curricula accordingly. Professor Paul Chill will lead a review of our program to determine what reforms might best fit our students’ objectives. We welcome your ideas. Harsh economics have also driven down law school applications by roughly 11% nationally. We have been hit by a decline in the number of candidates for our evening program. Building a class from a smaller pool puts enormous pressure on our entering statistics and further harms our U.S. News ranking, even as our academic program continues to soar. Professor Peter Lindseth will lead a committee considering ways to respond to this changing market. As we prepare for the future, there is much to celebrate about the fabulous year just past. The University attracted Susan Herbst, a warm, thoughtful, energetic, and articulate academic administrator to serve as its first woman president.

Diplomats as Musical Agents in the Age of Haydn by Mark Ferraguto Abstract Vienna’s embassies were major centers of musical activity throughout the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Resident diplomats, in addition to being patrons and performers, often acted as musical agents, facilitating musical interactions within and between courts, among individuals and firms, and in their private salons. Through these varied activities, they played a vital role in shaping a transnational European musical culture.

  • Sarti's Fra I Due Litiganti and Opera in Vienna
    John Platoff Trinity College March 18 2019 Sarti’s Fra i due litiganti and Opera in Vienna NOTE: This is work in progress. Please do not cite or quote it outside the seminar without my permission. In June 1784, Giuseppe Sarti passed through Vienna on his way from Milan to St. Petersburg, where he would succeed Giovanni Paisiello as director of the imperial chapel for Catherine the Great. On June 2 Sarti attended a performance at the Burgtheater of his opera buffa Fra i due litiganti il terzo gode, which was well on its way to becoming one of the most highly successful operas of the late eighteenth century. At the order of Emperor Joseph II, Sarti received the proceeds of the evening’s performance, which amounted to the substantial sum of 490 florins.1 Fra i due litiganti, premiered at La Scala in Milan on September 14, 1782, had been an immediate success, and within a short time began receiving productions in other cities. It was performed in Venice under the title I pretendenti delusi; and it was the third opera produced in Vienna by the newly re-established opera buffa company there in the spring of 1783. By the time of Sarti’s visit to the Hapsburg capital a year later, Fra i due litiganti was the most popular opera in Vienna. It had already been performed twenty-eight times in its first season alone, a total unmatched by any other operatic work of the decade. Thus the Emperor’s awarding 1 Link, National Court Theatre, 42 and n.

Naturally Professor Williamson deserves the highest praise for basically keeping this ship afloat throughout the entire process. She was instrumental in directing me to resources that would become critical to my research, keeping me on track and figuring out the best method for me to approach this thesis. I would also like to thank the staff in the Watkinson archives room and at the Hartford History Center in Hartford Public Library. When I first approached them I only had a vague notion of what sort of archival resources I wanted. Both were incredibly helpful and without them I would never have found the plans of development so central to my thesis.
