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. -

A Countertenor's Reference Guide to Operatic Repertoire
A COUNTERTENOR’S REFERENCE GUIDE TO OPERATIC REPERTOIRE Brad Morris A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2019 Committee: Christopher Scholl, Advisor Kevin Bylsma Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2019 Brad Morris All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Christopher Scholl, Advisor There are few resources available for countertenors to find operatic repertoire. The purpose of the thesis is to provide an operatic repertoire guide for countertenors, and teachers with countertenors as students. Arias were selected based on the premise that the original singer was a castrato, the original singer was a countertenor, or the role is commonly performed by countertenors of today. Information about the composer, information about the opera, and the pedagogical significance of each aria is listed within each section. Study sheets are provided after each aria to list additional resources for countertenors and teachers with countertenors as students. It is the goal that any countertenor or male soprano can find usable repertoire in this guide. iv I dedicate this thesis to all of the music educators who encouraged me on my countertenor journey and who pushed me to find my own path in this field. v PREFACE One of the hardships while working on my Master of Music degree was determining the lack of resources available to countertenors. While there are opera repertoire books for sopranos, mezzo-sopranos, tenors, baritones, and basses, none is readily available for countertenors. Although there are online resources, it requires a great deal of research to verify the validity of those sources. -

Punto’nun korno icrasına getirdiği yeniliklerin yanında korno edebiyatı için bestelediği eserler, Türkiye’de çok tanınmamasına rağmen Avrupa’da ve dünyanın birçok ülkesinde korno icracılarının repertuarına girmiştir. Bu araştırmada Barok, Klasik ve Romantik Dönemi bir arada barındıran 18.yüzyılın ünlü korno virtüözü Giovanni Punto’nun korno edebiyatının zor eserlerinden biri olan 6 No’lu Korno Konçertosu, sözü edilen yüzyıl içindeki gelişmeler ışığında incelenmiştir.

Paz, Schoenberg, Y Abel: Una Indagación De Sus Recorridos Hacia La Atonalidad Basada En Atributos Estadísticos De La Música
Paz, Schoenberg, y Abel: una indagación de sus recorridos hacia la atonalidad basada en atributos estadísticos de la música J. Fernando Anta y Alejandro Martínez Revista Argentina de Musicología 15-16 (2014-2015), 231-250. ISSN 1660-1060 Revista de Musicología 15-16.indd 231 04/08/2016 10:16:48 p.m. 232 Revista Argentina de Musicología 2014-2015 Paz, Schoenberg, y Abel: una indagación de sus recorridos hacia la atonalidad basada en atributos estadísticos de la música Las vinculaciones existentes entre Juan Carlos Paz y Arnold Schoenberg son bien conocidas, y muy estrechas. Sin embargo, la trayectoria recorrida por Paz hacia el abandono de la tonalidad ha sido solo parcialmente documentada, y las relaciones existentes entre dicha trayectoria y aquella recorrida por Schoenberg, su referente, han sido aún menos exploradas. El objetivo del presente estudio fue clarificar es- tos dos puntos focalizando en el tipo de composición lineal de ambos compositores, particularmente en el monto de dispersión de las notas en el registro, y comparando cómo uno y otro avanzó hacia la atonalidad a través de dicho parámetro. Para ello, analizamos cómo en la melodía (vocal) de sus canciones se distribuyen y organizan los intervalos. Los resultados sugieren que, en el marco de sus canciones, los modos en que uno y otro compositor se aproximaron a la atonalidad fueron diferentes: Paz organizó la arquitectura melódica sobre niveles de dispersión menores que los utiliza- dos por Schoenberg, y atendiendo a “reglas de conducción de voces” propias de la música tonal en mayor medida que este último. Palabras clave: Juan Carlos Paz, Arnold Schoenberg, tonalidad, atonalidad, disper- sión de las alturas. -
19 by Gianmario Borio* Among the Early Sources Preserved in The
Beiträge Mauricio Kagel’s Analysis of Schoenberg’s Phantasy for Violin with Piano Accompaniment op. 47 by Gianmario Borio* Among the early sources preserved in the Mauricio Kagel Collection is a dossier dedicated to Schoenberg’s Phantasy op. 47, containing an annotated copy of the score, a series of notes on various aspects of its compositional technique, some annotated samples, and a rough draft of a text most likely intended for publication. This material can only be dated hypothetically on the basis of historical evidence. On August 7, 1953, the Phantasy was per- formed at a concert organized by the Agrupación Nueva Música, in which Kagel participated as a pianist; a fleeting reference to the first book by Allen Forte, seen at the bottom of the table of transpositions, allows us to define the dossier’s terminus post quem; lastly, the language used in the notes, considered along with their underlying topics, seems to rule out the possi- bility that they were written during his early years in Germany.1 Kagel’s analysis reveals much about the set of problems with which he was dealing during the composition of Sexteto de cuerdas and the first version of Anagra- ma.2 It also sheds light on the origin of some of the more durable premises of his thought and, on a more general level, represents a significant episode in the reception of the Phantasy itself. * This article originated as part of the project Composers Analysing Other Composers, on which I have been working for a number of years. The first results of the project were pub- lished in “L’analyse musicale comme processus d’appropriation historique: Webern à Darmstadt,” in Circuit: Musiques contemporaines, 15 (2005), no. -

Knittel, Anton Nel Our inability to reconstruct what Ludwig van Beethoven must have sounded like as a pianist is one of the more vexing questions of music history. Unreliable sources and his short performing career, in addition to a lack of virtuoso public pieces, have contributed to this situation.
