  • Holy Ghost College Bulletin
    Sanctum 33 1917 a college man wrote some words to be sung to *he tune of an old English hunting song; but both these attempts, while meritorious, lacked something or other that would give a song enduring popularity among the old grads and underclass men. Some telepathic message about this state of affairs must have crossed the Allegheny mountains in the direction of New York, for just before the school year opened Joseph Breil, whom Pitts- burgh and the world knows as the composer of the music for "Intolerance", "The Birth of a Nation", "Cabiria", and other big motion-picture plays, and as the author of a successful grand opera, " The Legend ", was inspired to write as follows to the President of the University : " Back in the middle eighties, in the days of Fathers Power, Griffin, McCabe, Gross, Dangelzer and others, I used to trudge up the Bluff every day to the Pittsburgh College, to get my 'education.' Since then I have developed into a composer of some distinction and am known practically over the world, wherever better music is cultivated. "I am sending you a song of mine; perhaps one of your poets could arrange a text to it, and it could be adopted as the Duquesne University Hymn. I would be pleased to learn that such a thing has been done. " Sincerely yours, "Joseph Carl Breil." It so happens that the new music fits the text sung before the war, without submitting the latter to any fundamental remodeling, and the University will have its wish. The new hymn is the result of the combination.

  • Cabiria (1931)
    Archivio d’Annunzio [online] ISSN 2421-292X Vol. 4 – Ottobre 2017 [print] ISSN 2421-4213 Dalla ‘compilazione d’autore’ al ‘poema lirico-sinfonico’ La musica per la versione sonorizzata di Cabiria (1931) Emilio Sala (Università degli Studi di Milano, Italia) Abstract Musical accompaniment of films entered a new era as a dramaturgic practice in 1914, thanks to the world-wide success of Cabiria. Giovanni Pastrone’s ‘Dannunzian’ film played an im- portant role in the creation of moving picture orchestras and synchronised scores. Manlio Mazza’s compiled score paved the way to the comparable orchestral accompaniment of D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation (1915), written by Joseph Carl Breil. Nevertheless, scholars have paid insufficient attention to Mazza’s score, which has been overshadowed by the famous Sinfonia del fuoco by Ilde- brando Pizzetti. The latter has been frequently associated with the sacrificial scene in the temple of Moloch and, thus, has been used in modern exhibitions of the film. Despite this spread interpretation, it is important to note that Pizzetti did not write his symphony to score this scene. The misunder- standing leading to this association is due on the one hand to an aesthetic assumption, perhaps a bias, against the practice of compiled scores and, on the other, to some incomprehension concerning the restoration process of this film. In this article I re-examine the vexata quaestio of the relationship between the film and Pizzetti’s Sinfonia del fuoco, by analysing the 1931 sound reissue of Cabiria, which featured a newly composed score by Luigi Avitabile and José Ribas.

  • Using Resources for Silent Film Music
    02_956-129_Leonard_pp259-276 9/8/16 11:11 AM Page 259 USING RESOURCES FOR SILENT FILM MUSIC Kendra Preston Leonard Between 1912 and 1929, more than 11,000 commercial motion pictures were made in the United States. We call these works “silent films”, but they were accompanied by an enor- mous body of music, both adapted or arranged from pre-existing compositions and newly written for theatre orchestras, organists, or pianists. A 2013 study by David Pierce and the National Film Preservation Board, in conjunction with the Council on Library and Infor - ma tion Resources (CLIR) and the Library of Congress, found that only thirty percent of these pre-sound films were still extant, with many incomplete or in poor condition, and for a time, music for these films seemed destined to a similar fate: in the 1960s, Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer Studios deaccessioned its entire collection of scores and orchestral parts and sent them to a landfill in an event known to industry insiders as the “MGM purge”.1 Since then, however, studios and archives have increasingly valued the historic impor- tance of their silent film music holdings, and scholarly and general interest in these works has grown significantly. In Music for Silent Film: A Guide to North American Resources (MLA Index and Bibliography Series, 39. Middleton, WI: Music Library Association and A-R Editions, 2016), I assemble lists of archives and libraries that house this surviving early movie music, track down publications from the period about how and what to play for the movies, and provide details on more recent secondary sources devoted to the his- tory and analysis of the music used for the silent cinema.

  • Music and History in Italian Film Melodrama, 1940-2010
    Between Soundtrack and Performance: Music and History in Italian Film Melodrama, 1940-2010 By Marina Romani A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Italian Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Film Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Barbara Spackman, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Linda Williams Professor Mia Fuller Summer 2015 Abstract Between Soundtrack and Performance: Music and History in Italian Film Melodrama, 1940-2010 by Marina Romani Doctor of Philosophy in Italian Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Film Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Barbara Spackman, Chair Melodrama manifests itself in a variety of forms – as a film and theatre practice, as a discursive category, as a mode of imagination. This dissertation discusses film melodrama in its visual, gestural, and aural manifestations. My focus is on the persistence of melodrama and the traces it leaves on post-World War II Italian cinema: from the Neorealist canon of the 1940s to works that engage with the psychological and physical, private, and collective traumas after the experience of a totalitarian regime (Cavani’s Il portiere di notte, 1974), to postmodern Viscontian experiments set in a 21st-century capitalist society (Guadagnino’s Io sono l’amore, 2009). The aural dimension is fundamental as an opening to the epistemology of each film. I pay particular attention to the presence of operatic music – as evoked directly or through semiotic displacement involving the film’s aesthetic and expressive figures – and I acknowledge the existence of a long legacy of practical and imaginative influences, infiltrations and borrowings between the screen and the operatic stage in the Italian cinematographic tradition.
