Considered one of the most important private musical archives, it preserves the original handwritten scores of 23 of Verdi’s 28 operas, all the operas by Giacomo Puccini (except La Rondine), and also a great many works by composers like Bellini, Rossini and Donizetti up to contemporaries like Nono, Donatoni, Sciarrino and Bussotti. The extraordinary importance of the Archive resides in the variety of documents it preserves, which offer a broad panoramic vision of the culture, industry and society over the course of two centuries of Italian history. In the Archive, housed in the Braidense National Library in Milan, are preserved around 8.000 scores, more than 16.000 letters by musicians, librettists, singers and all manner of people connected to these arts, around 10.000 costume and set designs, more than 9.000 librettos, 6.000 historical photographs, and a large collection of Art Nouveau and Deco posters created by some of the main artists of the time. The Archivio Ricordi protects, preserves and promotes the knowledge of this artistic and documentary heritage, provides research services, digitization, and spread of the materials among organization with cultural purposes, universities and educational institutions. Since 2011 a project group has been working on a long‐term plan to index it, launching a process to catalogue and digitize the collection and preserve the original documents. The inventory is also to be made available to the international research community in digital form. The archive is building virtual networks with other cultural and scientific institutions for this purpose. In this sense, the Archive has recently developed a tablet app about the life of Giuseppe Verdi, a sub‐website devoted to the historical catalogue of the publisher, now fully accessible for free, and is currently evaluating the implementation of new digital technologies (e.g. semantic web, linked open data, interoperability with external datasets) to make available its heritage in better ways. Jennifer A. Ward (Répertoire international des sources musicales, Frankfurt) Tracing the footsteps of the Ricordis in Leipzig Archives Nearly every recounting of Casa Ricordi's history briefly mentions the travels of founder Giovanni Ricordi (1785–1853) from Milan to Leipzig to study engraving at the firm of Breitkopf & Härtel in the summer of 1807, one year before he founded his own firm. But details about Giovanni's sojourn to Germany and other aspects that connect the early history of Ricordi to Germany remain unexplored. Since no information on Giovanni Ricordi's earliest years with his firm is extant at the Ricordi Historical Archive in Milan, attempts to look for evidence of Ricordi's excursions to Leipzig may take place in Leipzig itself. Holdings in the Sächsisches Staatsarchiv (Saxon State Archives), which houses the Breitkopf & Härtel Archives and other publishers' archives, may be supplemented by documents found in the Stadtarchiv Leipzig (Leipzig City Archives). By exploring these Leipzig archives, we can piece together the relationship of Giovanni Ricordi, just starting out in Italy but ambitious with a well‐developed business sense, with established German publishers and find out more about the motivations and outcomes of Ricordi's studies in Leipzig. Martina Rebmann (Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Berlin) Ein Archiv schreibt Musikgeschichte – 200 Jahre Schott‐Archiv Mainz Im Jahr 2014 ist es einem Konsortium von Ankäufern, darunter die Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, gelungen, das Historische Archiv des Musikverlags Schott (Mainz) zu erwerben. Damit kam auf einen Schlag ein Musikverlagsarchiv in die öffentliche Hand, das an Größe und Geschlossenheit kein Pendant hat. Es umfasst die Geschäftsakten (Korrespondenz, Druck‐ und Stichbücher, Kopierbücher, Kontojournale) von 1787 bis 1945 sowie das gesamte historische Herstellungs‐, Musikhandschriften‐ und Erstausgabenarchiv seit 1810 bis etwa 1950 – viele 100 Meter Archivmaterial. Die Aufteilung des für die Wissenschaft unschätzbar wertvollen Archivs auf die beiden Staatsbibliotheken in Berlin und München sowie einschlägige Forschungseinrichtungen gewährleistet im jeweiligen Sammlungskontext die bestmögliche Nutzbarkeit. Die Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin erhielt dabei umfangreiche Autographen‐ und Briefbestände mit herausragenden Namen und weniger bekannten Briefpartnern von Franz Abt über Richard Wagner bis zu „Zumsteeg’s Witwe“. Mehr als 200 Jahre Verlagsgeschichte sind in diesem Archiv niedergelegt und es ist keine Übertreibung, dass dieser Verlag Musikgeschichte 2 Monday, 4 July IAML Rome 2016 – Preliminary Programme (last updated: 9 March 2016) geschrieben hat: bereits der Gründer des Verlags, Bernhard Schott, stand mit bedeutenden Komponisten in engem Austausch und hat so die Entstehung von musikalischen Werken befördert. Viele Forschungsfragen können aus dem Material künftig beantwortet werden: wie nehmen Verlage Einfluss auf die Musikgeschichte durch Annahme bzw. Ablehnung von Werken? Gibt es Parallelentwicklungen in Deutschland, etwa am Leipziger Verlagsstandort oder auch im europäischen Ausland – z. B. beim Verlag Ricordi, Mailand? Welche Rolle spielt das Verlagsprogramm für die Entwicklung einzelner Gattungen, gibt es direkte Einflüsse auf die Verbreitung von Werken bzw. Genres? Natürlich wird auch ein Schub für die Forschung einzelner wichtiger Komponisten ausgeübt, wie hat ein Verlag die Karriere von Komponisten beeinflusst? Gemeinsam mit der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek in München ist ein Plan zur Erschließung entwickelt worden, damit die Nutzung verbessert und der Zugang über das Internet ermöglicht wird. Das Referat geht auf Fragen der gemeinsamen Erschließung verteilter Bestände ein, widmet sich rechtlichen Problemen bei der Erschließung und Digitalisierung von teilweise urheberrechtlich geschütztem Material und es werden die Ideen zu einem digitalen Schott‐Portal im Internet diskutiert. 11.00–12.30 Cross‐searching for data Presented by the Forum of Commissions and Professional Branches Chair: Stanisław Hrabia (Jagiellonian University, Kraków) Andrew Hankinson (McGill University, Montréal), Ichiro Fujinaga (McGill University, Montréal) Cross‐institutional music document search Libraries have amassed large collections of digitized materials, but users of music materials may need to search many libraries’ collection in their quest to find a given piece. Furthermore, when comparing different documents, users are faced with multiple user interfaces from each library's digital repository. To meet the needs of these users, some libraries or individuals have made their collections available on third‐party websites, a labour‐intensive process that involves downloading an entire book's worth of images, creating a PDF file, and then re‐uploading it to websites to make them available—often without the knowledge of the source library. While the original institution may have extensive metadata, including error corrections and authoritative cataloguing on a document, these features may be ignored or mis‐quoted leading to an overall degradation of information quality, and a link back to the original institution is not guaranteed. To address this, we are proposing a new approach, based on the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF). This is a standard that has recently been proposed and adopted by many memory institutions for making image‐based collections available online. Through adopting IIIF, libraries can serve document images and metadata directly from their institutional web servers, negating the need to explicitly publish their document collections through PDFs on third‐party sites. The patrons can then access images or a part of an image from multiple libraries using a single user interface. The IIIF has recently been formalized into a formal international consortium, with institutions such as the British Library, the Bavarian State Library, and the Bibliothèque nationale de France pledging to make their digital collections available through this initiative. IIIF works by defining two standard protocols, or Application Programming Interfaces (API). The first, the “Image API,” standardizes the format of the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) for requesting an image, or part of an image, from an institutional repository. The second, the “Presentation API,” specifies a standardized structural representation of an image or a collection

  • Kenneth E. Querns Langley Doctor of Philosophy
    Reconstructing the Tenor ‘Pharyngeal Voice’: a Historical and Practical Investigation Kenneth E. Querns Langley Submitted in partial fulfilment of Doctor of Philosophy in Music 31 October 2019 Page | ii Abstract One of the defining moments of operatic history occurred in April 1837 when upon returning to Paris from study in Italy, Gilbert Duprez (1806–1896) performed the first ‘do di petto’, or high c′′ ‘from the chest’, in Rossini’s Guillaume Tell. However, according to the great pedagogue Manuel Garcia (jr.) (1805–1906) tenors like Giovanni Battista Rubini (1794–1854) and Garcia’s own father, tenor Manuel Garcia (sr.) (1775–1832), had been singing the ‘do di petto’ for some time. A great deal of research has already been done to quantify this great ‘moment’, but I wanted to see if it is possible to define the vocal qualities of the tenor voices other than Duprez’, and to see if perhaps there is a general misunderstanding of their vocal qualities. That investigation led me to the ‘pharyngeal voice’ concept, what the Italians call falsettone. I then wondered if I could not only discover the techniques which allowed them to have such wide ranges, fioritura, pianissimi, superb legato, and what seemed like a ‘do di petto’, but also to reconstruct what amounts to a ‘lost technique’. To accomplish this, I bring my lifelong training as a bel canto tenor and eighteen years of experience as a classical singing teacher to bear in a partially autoethnographic study in which I analyse the most important vocal treatises from Pier Francesco Tosi’s (c.

  • The Complete Sacred Music of Nicolò Isouard (1773 – 1818) and Maltese Sacred Music for the Order of Malta in the Late Eighteenth Century
    The Complete Sacred Music of Nicolò Isouard (1773 – 1818) and Maltese Sacred Music for The Order of Malta in the Late Eighteenth Century. By Richard Sydney Benedict Divall Doctor of Letters (Honoris Causa – Monash 1992) and Doctor of the University (Honoris Causa – Australian Catholic University 2004) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy MCD University of Divinity 2013 MCD University of Divinity To Whom it May Concern This is to certify that the thesis and music editions presented by me for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy comprises only my original work except where due acknowledgment is made in the text to all other material used. Signature: ____________________________________ Name in Full: ____________________________________ Date: ____________________________________ Abstract. Nicolò Isouard (1773-1818) is considered Malta’s national composer. After studies in France and Naples, he returned to his homeland, where from 1794 to 1798 he was an aspiring composer, and employee of the Order of Malta. In 1994 a collection of thirty-three autographs of hitherto unknown sacred music by Isouard appeared at the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, and I recognised the importance of these manuscripts. My intentions are to provide a précis on the Order, as the sovereign entity ruling Malta at the time, and the sacred music composed for them in their great Conventual Church in Valletta – now St John’s Co-Cathedral. The thesis will provide the background to Isouard’s early career and a complete edition and commentary of all of his sacred music, including additional works found during the research process, and a catalogue of his stage works.

  • Who Was Who in the Old Conservatories
    Who Was Who In The Old Conservatories Timelines of the Various Maestros Along with Brief Histories of their Institutions The Loreto The orphanage of Santa Maria di Loreto was founded in 1535 in the poor fishermen’s district of Naples. Both boys and girls were taken in until a separate school for girls opened in 1543. Children were taught various trades, which included music after the hiring of professional music teachers (between 1630 and 1640). From 1644 onward, boys able to pay tuition could also enroll. During the eighteenth century the conservatory be- came one of Europe’s finest schools of music. The unsettled times caused by the Napoleanic wars led to Ferdinand IV req- School Uniform uisitioning the conservatory’s building in 1797 for use as a mili- tary hospital. Teachers and students moved to the conservatory of Sant’Onofrio. Finally, in 1806, the remants of Sant’Onofrio and S. M. di Loreto combined with the Pietà dei Turchini to create the new Royal College of Music.

Translating, Adapting, And Performing Opera In Eighteenth-Century Cosmopolitan Europe: Lorenzo Da Ponte At The King's Theatre Abstract This dissertation examines music and text circulation in cosmopolitan Europe during the last decades of the eighteenth century through the lens of translation. London in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries was the largest center of Italian operatic performance outside of Italy. All performances sung at the King’s Theatre, London, were sung in Italian, the presumed language of opera, even when the works had been originated in other languages. This created the need for a culture of translation and adaptation of works from abroad, making them suitable for a London audience partially through the retention of foreignness and partially through domesticating practices. In the 1790s, a period of political tension between Britain and post-Revolution France, four French operas were presented at the King's Theatre in Italian translations attributed to the poet Lorenzo Da Ponte (1749-1838): Gluck's Iphig�nie en Tauride, Gr�try's Z�mire et Azor, Monsigny's La belle Ars�ne, and Sacchini's Arvire et �v�lina.

  • EASY Informatio Flyer
    EASY Pilot Project European Online Application System for mobility among higher music education institutions The International Relations Coordinators of AEC member institutions have been suggesting for some years that AEC could develop a common European online applications system for ERASMUS and other mobility schemes applications, in order to overcome various obstacles such as the amount of paper work and the proliferation different online systems and procedures. In the framework of the European Funded project FULL SCORE, a task force of international relations experts (a subgroup of the AEC IRCs working group), supported by the IT company ASIMUT, selected the Estonian company Dreamapply to provide an IT solution which could meet the ambitious and unique needs of such a system at European level. With the input of the task force, the company has released the first version of the European Online Application System (EASY) in December 2016. The system has been tested during the academic year 2016-2017 by the 41 AEC members institutions which took part in the first pilot phase. During Summer 2017 a new working group of experienced EASY users has been formed in order to work with Dreamapply on improvements to shape a better system for the academic year 2017-2018. Thanks to EASY the AEC is going to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the European University Foundation in the framework of the EC funded project Erasmus Without Papers in order to follow up and influence developments in the field of the digitization of Erasmus procedures.

  • DOI: 58 Giorgio Sanguinetti
    Giorgio Sanguinetti A Partimento in Classical Sonata Form by Giacomo Tritto Giacomo Tritto (*Altamura 1733; †Naples 1824) was a prolific, albeit not tremendously successful, opera composer. In his remarkably long life, he wrote more than fifty operas, mostly comic operas – a lesser genre in late eighteenth-century Naples. Today, his ope- ratic output is remembered mainly because of Il convitato di pietra,acomicoperastaged at the Teatro de’ Fiorentini in Naples in 1783, five years earlier than Mozart’s Don Gio- vanni.1 Tritto’s opera, on a libretto by Giovanbattista Lorenzi, is a fine example of the comic side of the Don Giovanni myth and has been recently restaged at the Teatro Verdi in Pisa in the season 2015/16. Tritto was also one of the most influential Neapolitan teachers of his age. When the twosurvivingconservatoriesoftheoriginalfour,Sant’OnofrioandthePietàdeiTurchini, merged in 1806 into a new Collegio di Musica, instead of a single director, Giuseppe Bonaparte chose Tritto along with Fedele Fenaroli and Giovanni Paisiello to form the so-called Triumvirato – a board of governors – that lasted until 1813, when Niccolò Zingarelli became the sole governor. Tritto achieved the highest honour through all the stages of his long career. He entered the Conservatorio della Pietà dei Turchini in 1746, where he was a student of Pasquale Cafaro and Nicola Sala.2 In 1759 he became “maestrino” (teaching assistant) of Cafaro and in 1785 “secondo maestro straordinario” in the same Conservatorio, where in 1799 he became full professor of counterpoint and composition.3 1 The position of Tritto’s opera as a precursor of Mozart’s Don Giovanni has attracted a consider- able size of musicological attention.
