  • Contemplating Die Meistersinger (Published in Limelight Magazine, November 2018) Richard Wagner Once Said of Johann Sebastian Bach’S Music: “That Made Me What I Am
    Contemplating Die Meistersinger (Published in Limelight Magazine, November 2018) Richard Wagner once said of Johann Sebastian Bach’s music: “That made me what I am. My unending melody is predestined in it.” In Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Wagner demonstrated to post-Tristan sceptics his mastery of traditional musical forms. Sonorous chorales, a fugally-inspired toccata, an unforgettable quintet and counterpoint worthy of Bach all feature in this magnificent score celebrating the marriage of inspiration and tradition. Incredibly, Bach’s major works had been ignored and forgotten until Mendelssohn presented the St Matthew Passion in Leipzig in 1829. The neglect of Bach for at least fifty years was symptomatic of a much wider problem. During the 18th century, the Austro-German ruling classes had been indifferent to (Lutheran) German culture and were inclined to rubbish anything that was not neo-classical and French or Italian inspired. The Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II experimented with a German theatre in 1778, the National Singspiel, for which Mozart wrote Die Entführung aus dem Serail. However, this project failed after only five years and the emperor (famously complaining of “too many notes”) turned instead to melodious, lightly scored Italian alternatives. Even in Prussia, Frederick the Great, champion of the Enlightenment, regarded German culture as being inferior to that of France and Italy. In the 1780s a new edition of the Nibelungenlied (the 13th century ‘Song of the Nibelungs’, which would play an important part in Wagner’s plans for a drama on the death of Siegfried and later Der Ring des Nibelungen) was dedicated to Frederick, but the king responded in the following terms: Dear faithful scholar, You judge far too favourably these poems.

Despite an evident desire on the part of some Weimar directors and designers of Die Meistersinger to draw on staging innovations of the time, productions of the work from this period are characterised by scenic conservatism and repetition of familiar naturalistic imagery.

  • Richmond Symphony Orchestra the Grand Tour, March 16, 2019 NOTES on the MUSIC by Dr
    Richmond Symphony Orchestra The Grand Tour, March 16, 2019 NOTES ON THE MUSIC by Dr. Robert M. Johnstone Prelude to Act I of “Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg” Richard Wagner born in Leipzig, Germany, in 1813; died in Venice, Italy, in 1883 Premiere: Munich, June 21, 1868 Instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons; 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba; timpani, percussion, harp; strings Duration: 10 minutes The great Polish pianist and patriot Paderewski described Die Meistersinger as “the greatest work of genius ever achieved by any artist in any field of human endeavor.” A debatable point---even among the staunchest of Wagnerians---but it is nonetheless a work of genius. Wagner’s only “comic” opera, its creation was to occupy a span of twenty-two years, from its inception in 1845 to its completion on October 24, 1867. Meistersinger was conceived as a humorous companion to his early success, Tannhäuser, yet comic writing did not come easily to Wagner; or perhaps it was just that other, more profound ideas intervened---Lohengrin, the Ring cycle, Tristan und Isolde---to push Meistersinger aside. He returned to it, in part, as a diversion from a sea of troubles, both musical and personal, that plagued him in the early 1860s. A story has it that one of his great loves, Mathilda Wesendonck, prompted him to return to Meistersinger in order to show his critics that he could smile in the teeth of adversity. He certainly seized the chance in his new opera to skewer some of his most implacable enemies, among them the critic Eduard Hanslick, who is deliciously dissected as the villainous rascal, “Beckmesser.” Meistersinger is not only Wagner’s sole comic opera, it is the only one to deal with ordinary historical figures.

  • Implications of the Meistersinger Tabulatur
    RICE UNIVERSITY Implications of the Meistersinger fabulatur by Heinz C. Christiansen A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Master of Arts Houston, Texas March, 1967 HEINZ <?. ABSIS.ACI Historical, political, economic, and social evolution in Germany during the late thirteenth and the following centuries outdated chivalry and its ideals, linnesang, one form of literary expression of the courtly period declined, because the discrepancy between the ideal world and the real world could no longer be reconciled, The new Middle Class of the growing cities assumed the obligation to continue the tradition of Minnesang. In this new environment however, linnesang lost its identity and an entirely different genre was created: Meistergesang. She Meistersinger organized into strict and exclusive schools and developed for its supervision a statute, which they called the Tabulatur. This Tabulatur contained rules for the writing of the songs and for every activity connected with the schools and its members. This thesis attempts to outline and analyze the Meistersinger's need for technical aids and organisational patterns closely resembling their own professional guilds. Furthermore, this thesis suggests that the very same Tabulatur, intended to unite and establish the Meistersinger movement behind common methods and goals, was in part responsible for the mediocrity of Meistergesang and its decay. Obviously, the entire scope of the leister- gesang era cannot be explored in this thesis* There are numerous achievements accredited to this group of middle class artisan-poets. We are concerned only with the phenomenon of the Tabulatur and its specific implications* CONTBHTS I* The historical setting • •*•••••*• 1 IX* The relationship of Meistergesang to Mimegesang *** 8 III.
