Bericht über das Internationale Symposium Detmold 1993, hrsg. von SILKE LEOPOLD und JOACHIM STEINHEUER, Kassel – Basel – London – New York – Prag: Bärenreiter 1998, 497 S. Der Band gliedert sich in zwei Teile: Quellen der Monteverdi-Rezeption in Europa (8 Beiträge) sowie Monteverdi und seine Zeitgenossen (15 Beiträge); hier sollen nur jene Studien vorgestellt werden, in denen Libretto und Oper eine Rolle spielen: H. SEIFERT, Monteverdi und die Habsburger (S. 77-91) [faßt alle bekannten Fakten zusammen und fragt abschließend (S. 91) nach möglichen Einflüssen Monteverdis auf das Wiener Opernschaffen]. – A. SZWEYKOWSKA, Monteverdi in Polen (S. 93-104) [um 1600 wirken in Polen zahlreiche italienische Musiker, vor allem in der königlichen Hofkapelle; Monteverdi lernte den künftigen König Wladyslaw IV. 1625 in Venedig kennen. Marco Scacchi, der Leiter der Kapelle, deren Mitglieder auch drammi per musica komponierten (vgl. S. 98), bekannte sich zur „monteverdianischen Schule des Ausdrucks“ (S. 102)]. – S. DAHMS, Monteverdi und die italienische Tanzkunst zwischen Renaissance und Barock (S. 153-166) [im Tanz versinnbildlicht sich um 1600 die neuplatonische Idee einer analogen Struktur von Mikrokosmos und Makrokosmos, außerdem ist die tänzerische Bewegung den Hirten Arkadiens gleichsam angeboren. An einen Überblick über italienische Tanzkunst und -theorie schließt sich die Frage nach Tanzsätzen bei Monteverdi an: Man könnte „mit einiger Courage ein ganzes Repertoire Monteverdischer Tänze zusammenstellen“ (S. 166)]. – M. WOITAS, Combattimento & Co. Choreographie und imitatio in den Torneo-Tänzen um 1600 und in Monteverdis Combattimento (S. 167-190) [in der Vorrede zum Combattimento fordert Monteverdi „die Vereinigung der drei beteiligten Imitationsebenen Text, Musik und Bewegung zu ‘einem einheitlichen Ganzen der Nachahmung’“ (S. 170); die Komposition läßt weitgehende Übereinstimmungen mit der Grundstruktur der mimetischen Torneo-Tänze erkennen (S. 177-182), die Synthese aus Text, Musik und Körperaktionen ermöglicht eine „akustisch-visuelle Gesamtwirkung, die ihrer Zeit weit voraus war“ (S. 187)]. – J. STEINHEUER, Zur musikdramatischen Umsetzung epischer Texte bei Monteverdi und seinen italienischen Zeitgenossen (S. 191-213) [in der ersten Hälfte des 17. Jhs wurden häufig Passagen aus den Epen von Ariost, Tasso oder auch Vergil, als polyphone Madrigale oder Sologesang, vertont; fast alle diese Kompositionen sind nicht zur szenischen Aufführung, sondern zur Rezitation bestimmt. Indem Monteverdi im Combattimento die Ebenen der Erzählung und szenischen Visualisierung trennt (vgl. S. 207), schafft er dagegen „eine eigenständige Gattung epischen Musiktheaters“ (S. 208f.) (als mögliche Parallele wären – neben dem Kabuki (vgl. S. 211f.) – vielleicht auch Formen mittelalterlichen Theaters in Betracht zu ziehen, in denen sich Rezitation und pantomimische Darstellung verbinden, vgl. die altfrz. Chantefable Aucassin et Nicolette, 13.Jh.)]. – N. DUBOWY, Bemerkungen zu einigen Ulisse-Opern des 17. Jhs (S. 215-243) [von 1640 (Monteverdis Ritorno) bis 1696 entstehen 12 Opern mit Odysseus als Protagonisten (Liste S. 215f.). Daß Odysseus dennoch eher eine „epische“ als dramatische Figur ist (S. 217), hängt damit zusammen, daß die Reihe seiner Bewährungsproben prinzipiell unabschließbar ist; folgerichtig bestehen mehrere Libretti aus Einzelepisoden (vgl. S. 223f.). Hier von „epischem Musiktheater“ (S. 227) zu sprechen, hat seine Berechtigung (allerdings hätte sich der Begriff [z.B. ausgehend von M. PFISTER, Das Drama, München 81994, 103ff.] schärfer fassen lassen); dazu paßt auch die „Lust am visuellen Vorführen“ (S. 230) in Monteverdis Ritorno, der nach DUBOWY als fünfaktige Oper konzipiert war (S. 232ff.). Monteverdis Eingriffe in den Text der beiden ersten Szenen (vgl. S. 238-241) liefern ein schlagendendes Beispiel für (nicht nur musikalische) Kontrast-Dramaturgie]. JOHN D.

May University of Connecticut - Storrs, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations Recommended Citation May, Joshua M., "The Rise of the Tenor Voice in the Late Eighteenth Century: Mozart’s Opera and Concert Arias" (2014). 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.

    Der Stein Der Weisen and Die Zauberflöte

    Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology Volume 12 | Issue 1 Article 3 Magic and Enlightenment auf der Weisen: Der Stein der Weisen and Die Zauberflöte Mercer Greenwald Bard College Conservatory of Music Recommended Citation Greenwald, Mercer. “Magic and Enlightenment auf der Weisen: Der Stein der Weisen and Die Zaouberflöte.” Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology Vol. 12, no. 1 (2019): 30-45. https://doi.org/10.5206/notabene.v12i1.8145 Magic and Enlightenment auf der Weisen: Der Stein der Weisen and Die Zauberflöte Abstract This paper probes how the rational and the irrational interact in Enlightenment operatic plots, and explores the effect of this interaction on the Viennese public. To do this, I will investigate the fantastic worlds of two operas premiered by the same opera company, both with libretti written by Emanuel Schikaneder: Der Stein der Weisen oder Die Zauberinsel (1790) and Die Zauberflöte (1791). David J. Buch’s seminal book Magic Flutes and Enchanted Forests (2008) explores the intertextual threads of magical ideas in Der Stein der Weisen and Die Zauberflöte, that is, how librettists and composers translated and reprocessed magical themes. I will draw on Buch’s comparison to show how these intertextual connections can be read for their broad cultural resonances. In this paper, I will first establish the connections between Der Stein der Weisen and Die Zauberflöte in plot and in music. Then I will show how the later opera diverges from its predecessor and discuss how it manages to diminish the polarity of rationality and irrationality considered central to Enlightenment thinking. Ultimately, I argue, Die Zauberflöte facilitates its audience’s access to Enlightenment values by magical means.

Since The Enchanted Isle Mozart had contributed individual works to several operas by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Baptist by others, nothing much was made of this.

    In Sي Gran Martire… a Tonal Experiment in Luigi Rossi's Il

    Musica Iagellonica 2018 eISSN 2545-0360 Zygmunt M. Szweykowski ( Jagiellonian University, Cracow) In sí gran martire… A tonal experiment in Luigi Rossi’s Il Palazzo incantato d’Atlante* The subject of my article is Scene 6 from Act III of Luigi Rossi’s musical drama Il Palazzo incantato d’Atlante (1642) to a libretto by Giulio Rospigliosi. This particular scene is worthy of attention, because the composer has given it a thoroughly unique musical setting as compared to early Italian drammi per mu- sica. It not only features more than one key signature sign — two sharps appear at the clefs — but also five sharps as accidentals in the music itself, thus using rare pitch material for late sixteenth and early seventeenth century output. Giulio Rospigliosi quite often drew the themes of his dramas from Re- naissance epic poetry. Here, the source is Ludovico Ariosto’s poem Orlando furioso 1. The presented action is practically based on octaves 4–32 of Song XII from Ariosto’s poem. Rospigliosi does not keep strictly to the epic’s sequence of events, instead arranging them according to his own plan. Rospigliosi’s work was originally titled Lealtà con valore (Loyalty and valor), but he quickly adopted the title featuring the word “Palazzo”, which nevertheless had several differing versions, such as Il Palazzo incantato ovvero la guerriera amante [The enchanted * This article is an abbreviated version of the chapter from the book Dramma per musica, vol.

Gondek, Chair The fictional women presented to the public on the opera stages and in the noble houses of Italy during the seventeenth century did not resemble the societal feminine ideal of chastity, silence, obedience, and humility; on the contrary, they were strong-willed, eloquent, powerful, and sexually sentient. This dissertation will examine a few of the principal female characters from a selected number of early seventeenth-century operas and explore what these women represented in context of the patriarchal, highly misogynistic societies in which they were constructed. Furthermore, I will consider the implications of this information for issues of modern performance practice, and for the representation of these female characters in modern reproductions of the operas. Finally, I will discuss the influences of this research on my final DMA recital, a program of seventeenth-century arias and songs which personified the female stereotypes presented in this dissertation.

    Angelica Inseguita

    ANGELICA INSEGUITA ‘’La prima impressione è che questi cavalieri non sappiano bene cosa vogliono: un po’ inseguono, un po’ duellano, un po’ giravoltano, e sono sempre sul punto di cambiare idea.’’ I. Calvino, Orlando Furioso di Ludovico Ariosto raccontato da Italo Calvino, Mondadori, 1983, pag. 64 Abbiamo attribuito alla frase scelta questo quadro di Paolo Uccello, in quanto entrambi si ricollegano ad uno temi centrali del poema raccontato da Italo Calvino, ossia quello dell’inchiesta «fallimentare» che si traduce in un movimento circolare, che non approda mai ad una fine. L’inseguire vanamente questi oggetti delusori determina un allontanarsi fisicamente, ma anche moralmente da quelli che sono i loro doveri cavallereschi. Possiamo notare infatti nel quadro l'allontanamento dal campo di Paolo Uccello, Niccolò da Tolentino alla testa dei fiorentini, 1438. battaglia di alcuni cavalieri. Erika Gambardella, Lia Lisenni, Elvira Zullo IV E Bradamante e l’Ippogrifo (cap. 2) • Si introduce la narrazione: due guerrieri si trovano in una locanda. • Improvvisamente si avverte il passaggio dell’Ippogrifo in cielo. • L’oste della locanda spiega la situazione in cui gli abitanti del villaggio si trovano. • Il narratore descrive i due personaggi: si tratta di una guerriera cristiana, Bradamante, e un combattente musulmano, Brunello. Entrambi hanno lo stesso fine, cioè liberare Ruggiero dal mago Atlante. • I due personaggi si dirigono verso il castello del mago. • Bradamante lega Brunello e inizia lo scontro contro Atlante, che usa il suo libro magico. • Bradamante, fingendosi morta, inganna il mago, lo cattura e lo intrappola, costringendolo a far scomparire il castello. • Il castello si dissolve e ne escono Ruggiero e gli altri compagni prigionieri.

I letterati e la scena © Adi editore 2014 FRANCESCA PASQUALINI Le nozze di Bradamante e Ruggiero nell’Orlando Furioso: un vademecum per un matrimonio aristocratico Poiché tra gli intendimenti degli autori del Rinascimento molto forte è quello di fornire manuali e modelli di comportamento, vogliamo leggere anche in questo senso il polifunzionale poema dell’Ariosto. Un vademecum per gli sposi, per i promessi sposi Ruggiero e Bradamante, la cui reale vicenda sentimentale percorre il Furioso e lo informa di sé ben più del virtuale amore a cui deve Orlando la sua follia. Percorso formativo per Bradamante innanzitutto che s’avvia a diventare composta madre di famiglia e progenitrice di regnanti dall’indomita guerriera che la tradizione letteraria precedente consegnava ad Ariosto. Gentildonna da cavaliere, secondo una progressiva spoliazione dalle armi e rivestizione di virtù diplomatiche ed umane che costituiscono l’habitus non solo della donna di corte ma, più in generale, della classe aristocratica dell’Ancien Régime. Presupposto propedeutico a questo intervento è riconoscere la serietà con cui Ariosto guarda ai valori che informano il mondo cavalleresco dell’Orlando Furioso.
